Sweet Girl | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

This is officially my last blog post for 2011!

Already a year has gone by... And this one was definitely amazing , filled with amazing moments.
Meeting all these great families and in some cases their new additions made me learn so much, made me meet new friends and certainly made me love my job even more. I'm not sure how that's possible, but it's true ! :)
I am so thankful for all my 400 fans on Facebook and all those who follow me on my blog and twitter and who have let me document their journey, liked my work, comment and support me throughout my journey. Without all of you, I'd probably still be working my old and boring full time job. Seriously, I'm not even kidding.
I get to do what I love doing because of all the support I get from everyone of you, so thank you !!
Keep on sharing my page because 2012 will be an even better  and bigger year !!

... So here is to a sweet girl and oh, how adorable she was ! ...

Daddy's Little Boy | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

I had already met Emily and James a few times before they even got married, before I even started doing baby and maternity photography. So, they were referred by friends of a good friend of mine and contacted me when Edoardo was already a few weeks young. They both looked so happy to be parents and even brought Grandma along for the photo session.
It was a last minute booking, but it was all well worth it. :)

Edoardo 18 days

Little Man | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

Oh how I love to be able to document mom and dad's journey to becoming new parents !!
You must remember this couple from a few months ago. Well, I finally got to meet their little boy Justin! :)
He had the most adorable little cheeks and looked so much like his daddy, it was unreal.

Justin 10 days

Baby Pax | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

It's been so busy here at the studio! I've been meeting so many babies from 5 days to 6 weeks, that I haven't had much time to post anything lately. It is definitely the best part of my job so I certainly can't complain!

Paxton was so tiny and sweet when he came to the studio.  Plus mom and dad brought their dog Lucy that day to be apart of the photo session. Pax's future best friend! :) She sat quietly next to him, for a few minutes and I got to snap a few shots.

Paxton 18 days

M-A + C | Montreal Event Photographer | Photographe d'évenement à Montréal

M-A and C came for a pre- engagement session recently and it was so nice out that day that we decided to do it outdoors. They told me all about how they met and how they had decided to go live in France together...  All I can think of was how cute and so in love, they were.
I had such a great time photographing them!!

I hope you guys like your sneak peek! :)

Tiny Wonders | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

It was interesting to hear how both Genevieve and Sebastien found out about me...  and my photography.
Just a little something to peek your curiosity; Genevieve saw my work showcased at Apso-bibi on St-Laurent and Sebastien was referred a while back.
Both came to realize I was the same person.

Either way, I'm glad they came to the studio with their daughter and finally met after planning for this session a while back already. We had such a great time in the studio talking and photographing this tiny little girl. She was so beautiful with her long lashes, I can't wait to see pictures of her when she grows. :)

Adele | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

Adele was only 1 month when she had her first photo session, here at the studio. And let me tell you, it was quite ironic when we heard Adele (the artist) playing in the building at the same time.

She seemed so calm and peaceful... 

Beautiful Rose | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

Lauren Rose! We've been patiently waiting for you :) I had an awesome time photographing her, especially that the new backdrop was ready just in time for her session :)

In case you don't remember... I had captured mom & dad a while back...

Meant to Be | Montreal Maternity Photographer | Photographe de Maternité à Montréal

I truly enjoyed photographing this wonderful couple and I certainly can't wait to meet their little baby Justin!! :) Both originally from New Brunswick, they ended up meeting in Montreal...Talk about a coincidence!!

Home Sweet Home | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

A few weeks ago, I was asked to take pictures of Viviane's newborn baby boy, in her house. It's not something I normally do, considering newborn sessions are usually done in studio for props, lighting and many more issues, but Viviane had promised me a house full of natural light, and that's exactly what I got.

Ethan, the 9 lbs baby boy, was such a breeze.

Oh and in case you didn't know, this year is the year of the rabbit and Ethan's super cute room had plenty.

Sleepy Baby | Montreal Newborn Photographer | Photographe de Nouveaux- Né à Montréal

It's been already a few months Kim promised to bring this little munchkin to the studio. Only 3 weeks, and mom and dad finally brought him in last week. Mom was not convinced he would sleep through the session and he did indeed prove us all wrong!!
Kim, you have been so patient, here is a little something in the meantime that your full session is ready :)

Montreal Dog Blog | Montreal Pet Photographer | Photographe pour Animaux à Montréal

Remember the Montreal Dog Blog contest... Well Sira and her family won and I was super excited to meet them all for their studio session. There was Daddy, Ryu, their gorgeous little 8 month old boy and Bella the very well behaved Boston Terrier who still very much acts and looks like a puppy. Bella was super happy, especially when she would get treats to stay put for her portrait and Ryu was full of smiles. We even got to take the studio outside for a little bit since it was such a beautiful day.
