introducing louis | whitehorse newborn photographer

So you've seen the maternity photos and you probably saw his birthday slideshow and now, this is the little one for whom all the fuss is being made. This is Louis (you can call him "Lewis" or "Louie", both are fab, just like him!!). I think he's just wonderful. He reminded us of his stubborn streak at the beginning of his session but our patience (and persistence) paid off. I think he decided that my cozy beanbag was *the* place to be and finally gave in to a little sleepy-time.

I know that it won't be long till this beautiful little boy figures out just how loved he is and how infinitely cool his mama & daddy are... and that's bound to be something he inherits. Stole my heart in an extra-large way. *SWOON!*

and seriously... tell me that isn't the BEST head full of hair you've seen all day!

And hopefully by now, you know the drill...

darcy & jesse | whitehorse maternity photographer

Wow. It seems like all I've been doing lately is photographing newborns and maternity, newborns and more maternity! There is one heck of a baby-boom happening in Whitehorse right now. I can imagine the nursing staff at Whitehorse General are run off their feet!

A short while ago, I had the privilege of photographing this wonderful couple. Meet Darcy & Jesse. They are the greatest, most laid-back couple ever. We had a total blast shooting in their incredibly bright & cheery home (except for the attack of the killer bees incident - yay for Jesse, who came to our rescue!)

Darcy & Jesse are expecting their first baby TOMORROW!! I don't know if he/she is going to be on time or not but I *can* tell you that these guys have invited me to join them on their birth experience to document the story in photos. I can't even tell you how excited I am. I have wanted to photograph births since starting this business and these guys get to be my first family! Lucky me!

And of course, having such good looking parents pretty much guarantees a beautiful baby! And while it's not for me to spill the beans, the baby names that these guys have selected are incredible. Just for the record, I hope they get to use their boy name because it's just that awesome. And no, it's not Megatron, although that *would* be cool!

And seriously, this woman is all belly. You can't even tell she's pregnant if you see her from behind. Darcy says the waddle is a dead giveaway though!

And just between you and me, I think Jesse is pretty darn excited to meet his new little person.

C'mon little babe! Everyone's waiting to meet you. I know I, for one am not straying very far from the phone... that's definitely one phone call I don't want to miss!

introducing thomas | whitehorse newborn photographer

This is Thomas. He immediately melted my heart when I walked into the room and even though he resisted falling asleep like his life depended on it, Mom, Dad & I waited patiently for him to give in... and when he did, boy did we get some wonderful images! Totally worth the wait, wouldn't you say?!?

Get a load of this t-shirt! So funny!

And then there's the sweet little bow mouth. How is anybody supposed to resist that?!

Oh little boys, I have such a soft spot for 'em.

*sigh*

Be still my beating heart. Thomas, you are such a sweet little boy. Your mama and daddy are so lucky that you joined their family. You are truly loved, little one.

lara-rae | whitehorse maternity photographer

This is Lara-Rae. She and her partner Eric are expecting their first babe on January 10th and I had the good fortune of photographing her in all her big-bellied glory last week. She is bubbling over with excitement and is just the teeniest, cutest pregnant gal you've ever seen! Not to mention that she was totally game for all my crazy ideas. Which is just about my favorite thing ever.

And seriously, how much do we love Christmas babies? Is there really a better present than that? I think not!

One hot mama, I'm tellin' ya! It was such a fun session that when all my gear was packed up, I think I could've hung out and drank coffee & eaten Christmas treats all day!

What a beauty. This is yet another reason that I'm convinced that I have the best job. Ever.

If you are expecting and would like to book your maternity photos, call 867-668-2296 or email me anytime at info@vanessafallephotography.com to book a session!

taryn & kaysen | whitehorse children's photographer

Holy moley! This family sure makes beautiful babies! Meet the brand new Taryn and her ultra-handsome big brother Kaysen. These guys got to spend the afternoon in front of my camera today and boy, did they EVER win my heart!! This sweet little punkin is so teeny and snuggly... I could've stayed there all day holding her! She took a little while to settle but once she did, oh goodness, she just gave us GOLD!
(notice the big fat elbow dimple! *swoon*)

Of course, as mom was settling new baby sister, Kaysen needed to get me all warmed up! He is a charmer and a half... could it be those eyelashes? I'm thinkin' so! I know I say this all the time but man, I love sessions like these. I have the best job. ever.

eliana, noah & finn | whitehorse children's photographer

Oh boy, yesterday was fun! It was so full of stuff, I can hardly believe it. The hubs and I attended a special event for this year's Habitat for Humanity home in our community (we donated the sod for their yards - a duplex) and were presented with a plaque. Then I had a terrific session with twin 3 month old boys, Noah & Finn and their beautiful big sister, Eliana. I was thrilled to photograph such wonderful children and the light couldn't have been better. The perfect combination if you ask me!

Miss Eliana wasn't keen on giving many smiles but that's okay, these photos are so honest and pensive...really my favorite kind. So lovely!!

This is Finn. He is sweet, smiley and just a darling. My heart melts for sweet babies just like him!

Then again, I have just as much of a soft spot for sweet little boys like Noah. Is it because I also have a Noah? Maybe but dang, double cuteness... this is about as good as it gets!

Be still my beating heart! Are you serious, guys?? *swoon*
Thanks so much for a super fun afternoon gang! Can't wait to show you the rest of your images :)

introducing gage | whitehorse children's photographer

Y'know, there's just something extra extra special about being invited into a home of a family adjusting to the arrival of a new little one. The magic of parents getting to know their precious babe fills the air and I always leave the session with my heart feeling a whole lot fuller.

This incredible, charming (and very funny) family has just welcomed the much-anticipated arrival of their first baby, a boy who they called Gage. He has a head full of hair, sparkly eyes and of course those nummy little baby toes :)

He got to take a bunch of new props for a spin but his cuteness TOTALLY outshines any prop on earth. He has that soft, sweet smelling skin - and fuzzy shoulders too, which I loooooooooove and is just snuggly and warm. Mmmm... I sure love babies.

This is probably my favorite photo from the entire session. You know why? it's the moment between the moments. It's so natural, honest and beautiful. What a gift this little man is. ♥

introducing casey & sophie | whitehorse newborn photographer

I am regularly blown away by the sheer number of twins born in Whitehorse! These two were my (mostly) willing subjects and they were just as sweet as could be! Oh, and not to mention that I got the chance to use a few of my newest props :) Get a load of that vintage scale!



Big brother Colby got to break me in before I got to photograph his new baby brother & sister... he was full of faces and silliness! I love sessions like this.

introducing wyatt | whitehorse newborn photographer

So a short while ago, I had the great fortune of photographing this little boy's mama and daddy. Since that fateful day, I've been lucky enough to call them my friends. We have many, many laughs when we all get together (usually there's lots of food involved!) and I definitely consider my life richer for having them in it. And then there's Wyatt! This young man joined the family in early April and big brother, Ryu is quite taken with him...as am I. I have a special place in my heart for Wyatt. I do love him...but really, who wouldn't?
