OH those eyes!!!

 Adorable right to the tips of her toes!!!

Elle était tellement gentil, si doux et si souriant, j’ai adoré jouer avec elle.

As-tu veux c’est yeux!!!

  Mom and Dad said she is always so happy and she was just until the camera came out, we didn’t think we managed to capture any smiles but I did and I am so happy! I love the way her little face lights up.

Poor little princess was exhausted by the end of it and I had to capture a shot similar to one of my favorites of my son (who turned two today actually!).

 D- you are a natural with your sweet baby boy, I could see motherhood came so naturally to you. Thank you for allowing me to be part of such a special time in your life,

This little guy was so good to me… he was really a little angel. Such a sweet, kissable cutie also helps making this such a gorgeous session, I could hardly narrow down which photos to show as the sneak…enjoy!

I can only imagine how much closer their baby boy will bring them. You are both beautiful inside and out, and I am sure you will make incrediable parents. There is no sweeter gift you can  give a child than true love between their parents.

I can’t wait to meet the little one!

I have to admit, it was quite challenging to work with not one but two tiny babies, they are little cuddle bugs and so sweet!

I can only imagine how you feel, you look amazing!

Enjoy your little sneak peek:)

Last but not least the two older ones, I just loved the way they were both looking at me here! You should be proud Cat, you have a gorgeous family! xoxox

I can not wait for the newborn session and all the fun ideas we already have in store for this little guy when he makes his arrival.

Enjoy your sneak peek K! It was great to finally meet you.

Plus this was done in Ste. Sauveur….and the first time I shot a session outdoors in the winter…I loved it!

I can’t wait to meet your little muffin and see you again, it was such a pleasure working with you!

 There is something so magical that happens between a couple when a baby enters their lifes. There is this glow of happiness, this love in their eyes, this renewed spirit that is just so evident to me since I have expirenced the same thing. This sweet couple, no doubt, has this love in their eyes, not only for their precious baby girl but for one another.

Being in their presence reminded me of that wonderful bliss which although you are exhausted, it just gets you through those beginning stages of adjustment with your new bundle.

Your family is beautiful! Thank you for trusting me to capture this time for you.

I wanted to give back to all of you, and so, I picked my top 20 photos of 2009…and trust me….it was soooo hard. I love each and every session for different reasons, each photo I chose isn’t necessarily the best photographically but some just mean a lot to me.
