All Smiles ~ Montreal Baby Photographer

mell — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 15:45:24 +0000

I took this couples maternity photos way back in November and we were suppose to do a newborn session but due to circumstances, it kept on being pushed back. Finally, at long last I got to meet Mr. Smiles, and OH he is such a happy baby!

He has the beautiful spirit of both mom and dad! I adore all the expression he gave me, he was just a total joy to work with.

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy, he is precious and you have a beautiful family!

Mission Impossible ~ Montreal Family Photographer

Such cute little girls but to get one photo of the two of them together…impossible!

Mom was asking me did I get pictures of my four kids together and I had to laugh…v.e.r.y. rarely!!!!

Even though I was unable to get that perfect picture of the two sisters together, I got such sweet individual photos I hope it will make up for it.

ENjoy your sneak peek

Fun Contest ~ Montreal Family Photographer

mell — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:48:58 +0000

In light of my upcoming birth I thought I would have a fun contest for all my fans and previous clients.

It is simple….just guess when the baby will be born in the comment field below.

You *must* enter a date and time.

A little background:

This is my third child.

My first son was late, and I was induced 2 days after my due date. I was in labor for 18 hours and had him at 3:41 AM.

My second son came 10 days early. I was in labor for 6 hours and had him at 12:05 pm.

During my 20 week Ultrasound the Doctor said he/she (it is a surprise) was measuring small.

At my Obgyn appointment last week she said the baby was neither small nor big and should be the same size as my last baby which was 7lbs 8oz.

I am now 28 weeks pregnant and my estimated due date is July 23rd.

Good LUCK and the winner will receive 50% off a fall session with me when I resume working.

Feel Free to ask any questions in the comments below..I will gladly answer. This contest will be open until further notice.

I am so excited to offer these limited edition Mothers day Mini Sessions. But it isn’t limited only to mothers…good for so many occasions, maybe to celebrate a child’s age, how about for some engagement shots, bridals, siblings, oh the possiblities!!

Everyone must know by now that I am expecting our 5th child (yes FIVE!!) and with that I want to squeeze in as many sessions with you as possible before it becomes impossible So what better way to honour motherhood and the miracle of birth by giving all of you a great opportunity!

Of course I do have limited space. The all inclusive fee does need to be paid in full in order for me to secure your spot for that day. I still haven’t decided where I will be shooting, but I do have a few favourite places in mind!

The little things ~ Montreal Family & Child Photographer

mell — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:15:20 +0000

There were so many little things that I loved about this session…

The way Little L, right in middle of playing , would stop, pose and smile.

Her dimple.

That sparkle in the baby’s big brown eyes.

The way mom, even though she has 3 little one’s under 6, was so calm and always smiling.

And Dad who got into the session and the fun just as much as the rest of us (trust me…this is not always the case:)

Thank you Tina & Mario for sharing your family with me…

mell — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:34:43 +0000

Boys, toys… cars, motorcycles…yes, this was any boys dream session. As a mom of 3 boys, I know.

Most boys are so eager to play and have fun, so easy to please and just sweethearts. These two were no exception…I couldn’t get enough of their sweet smiles and playful grins!

I could have spent all day with your family N…your two boys have so much character and are way too adorable for words. I think these pictures will totally speak for themselves….

Enjoy your little sneak peek you will have many more to come soon!

Our morning started full of energy, these two were not shy at all

How beautiful is this family???

Not only do these two look cool but Dad was really cool for letting them get on his bike for pictures!

A little girl only turns two years old once…and what a cutie she is. She had all of her friends & family over and everyone had a blast. The weather turned out perfectly even though mom was so worried it was going to rain!
