Heidi and John | Halifax Maternity Photographer

I have known John and Heidi for 7 1/2 years now…..and was so thrilled they asked me to do their maternity photos. They have always been so gracious about my photography, so it was a real treat to share a little bit of it with them. I was just saying the other day, to a mutual friend, that you will not find two more genuine, sincere,  nice people. When John and Heidi ask how you are, they really mean it. You always feel that they are truly interested in what you have to say, and unfortunately that is an often lost quality.

Friends, it was a real pleasure today and I can not wait to meet and photograph your little man. You joked that you may ask me for some parenting advice. No need. You are fully equipped with an abundance of  love and caring. You are quick to laugh, and slow to anger. I can not think of two people more qualified, more deserving, or more ready to bring new life into this world.

Click | Halifax Maternity Photographer

That’s what has to happen. You have to click. And boy, did we.

Tracey contacted me a few weeks ago, wanting to book a special maternity session as a surprise for her husband Peter. Peter is a member of Canada’s finest, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and they have been stationed up North…..way North…..Gjoa Haven,Nunavut to exact! My father, grandfather and great uncles were all RCMP members, and I even began the recruitment process myself, before fate stepped in.

Long story short,we may as well have been old friends. We had an instant comfort with each other and I think it really shows in the images.

I know I told you a million times during the session Tracey, but seriously, you look freakin’ fantastic.

And, Peter………….surprise! I hope you like.

Halifax Newborn Photographer

Babies, babies everywhere!

Lots maternity sessions coming up, and newborns too! Can’t wait to share with you…..and there will be some new stuff on the blog this weekend :)

It’s a busy time around these parts, as we’re in the midst of packing for the big move to our new home!! We’re very excited and up to our eyeballs in boxes, newspaper and tape.

Can you believe we are into the third week of January already?! Craziness.

Here’s a sweet shot of the twins that I haven’t shared before to tide you over ♥

Introducing Sara | Halifax Newborn Photographer

Guess who is a proud big sister?!

Mom Kelly told me today that absolutely no pictures have been sent out of little miss Sara, so it is an honor to “introduce” her to their friends and family!

Sara Francesca Battilana

October 8th, 2009 ~ 8:52am ~ 7lb 2oz

I am absolutely certain if you look up “spunk” and “starved” in the dictionary, you will find Sara’s photo. I have never seen such a hungry, awake 9 day old.

I left today after 4.5 hours, covered in pee, spitup and new baby smell…..and I loved every second.

And although we weren’t able to coordinate the sisters’ for a sibling image ( I’m going back for that once Sara is holding up her head!) we couldn’t leave Loren out!

UC Baby Display | Halifax Maternity and Newborn Photographer

I had the opportunity to hang my UC Baby 3D Ultrasound display last week, and just realized that I hadn’t blogged with the photo!!

The photo quality isn’t the greatest, but I think it looks fantastic in person, and am really proud of it. There are also several smaller framed pieces throughout the waiting room.

The gallery wrap over the chair is 30″x30″ and the larger piece above the sofa is 30″x40″

If you have  a UC Baby 3D Untrasound appointment scheduled, or know someone who does…..don’t forget to ask for my special discounted session!!!

You can get to the UC Baby website by clicking the logo at the bottom of my blog :)

Sneak Peek: Baby Nathalie | Halifax Child and Baby Photographer

If there is one age that typically strikes fear into the hearts of child photographers…..it is 3-4 months. It’s hit or miss as babe is no longer a newborn,  and not yet sitting on their own.

Not with little Miss Nathalie though……oh my, what a sweet bubbaloo this one was.

All cheeks and nothing but smiles!! I’m saving those ones for the gallery ;)

The whole family is packing up house and heading to Calgary. Dad is being deployed to the Persian Gulf for six months, and mom is going to spend the time “back home”.

Christine, what a treat is was to work with you today. Thank you for “getting it” and giving me free rein. It was like walking into an old friend’s house.

Safe travels to you all….and I look forward to your “Farewell to Nova Scotia” session in the spring!
