Snips and snails and puppy dog tails…

Newbown Photography – Surrey, BC

We had ourselves a marathon session today, this little boy and I!  He had the cutest little boy voice and he was sure to use it to tell me he wanted nothing to do with sleep, no matter how much I wanted to take some nice photos for his mom, dad and sisters.

But c’mon he’s only a week old… so you know he’d have to give in eventually, right?:-)

When he finally did, it wasn’t for very long, but I’m pretty happy with what we captured in those short sweet moments of sleep.  A couple images to share:

Oh, and we can’t forget his two beautiful and proud big sisters:-)

Congrats on your newest addition J&C!

Precious Newborn Baby R

Newborn Photography – Surrey BC

This little beauty has been waiting to show up on my blog for quite a while now!  Back at the end of July, Miss R came to visit me in studio for her newborn portrait session.  Just 8 days old, so adorable, and such a good little sleeper.  I’m so happy to finally have the chance to share these images with you.

Everyone say it with me… “Awwwww…”:-)

Thank you M family for bringing your beautiful little girl to me for her first photos.  And congratulations again on your newest addition:)

Oh my gorgeous little girl! You really caught her precious smiles and peaceful poses. Ohhh…what happened to the days when she slept and slept and slept?
We were impressed with the amount of time and patience you had for our family. What a workout for you! 110% is what you put into your work and you can tell.
Thank you so much and a big thank you for taking us in at the last minute. Mommy was procrastinating for 9 months. Ooops.
Big hug from all of us!

Sweet & Wild…and ready for CAKE!

Cake Smash & 1st Birthday Photography – Surrey BC

Prior to this session, we debated what kind of smasher Miss K would be.  Would she grab handfuls and stuff her face?  Would she try and step in it?  Would she even be in the mood for cake?  Well, we got our answer, and you can see for yourself through the images below.

Here it is.  Cake.  Pre-Smash.
It’s so cute, and has Miss Sweet and Wild written all over it, don’t you think?

And now we let her at it…

“I can haz…?”

“Mmm Sugar Flowers!”

After removing the decorative (and tasty!) sugar flowers, it was finally time to break through that fondant and get at the cake!

I think she was still in awe that we were letting her have full access to the whole cake.  No big brother in sight, even!

Cake.  Delicious, pink strawberry cake.  Mmmmm!

By now K has eaten a lot of cake.  By herself.  With no grown ups telling her to stop.

Can you say, Sugar Daze?

Off she goes, doing the Mowgli Crawl.

And here it is….

Cake.  Smashed.  By K.

100% Cake EAT!
Look at how that cake is DESTROYED and yet, there’s no mess around it – Keara certainly takes after her mama (nom nom nom – strawberry cake!)
You captured every moment perfectly Vivian! We couldn’t be happier at how these pictures turned out! Thank you SO much for capturing precious memories throughout Keara’s first year with our family!

Sweet & Wild…and ONE!

1st Birthday Photography Session – Surrey, BC

Miss Sweet & Wild has become quite a regular in my studio, and I have been very happy to have her!  From her very first visit still in mommy’s tummy, to her precious newborn session at 2 days old, to her super strong 6-month session… now we get to celebrate her 1st Birthday!

In case you couldn’t tell, K is a Canada Day baby.  Here she is showing her true Canadian colours, with pride!

Her big brother tried to get in on the photo action, showing his li’l sis how much he loves her.

…but I think she’d rather do without the kisses!!!

After a few quick shots in K’s signature Pink & Zebra 1st Birthday outfit, we decided it was time for cake.

“Did someone say Cake?”

Yes little Miss K, we said cake.  And the next post shall be just that, K and her 1st Birthday Cake Smash.

I LOVE these! What a little sweetie!

Melynda - August 18, 2011 - 12:31 pm

Good grief – could these two be any cuter?! I’m always amazed at how you manage to capture their personalities so perfectly! The pictures of M & K together just melt my heart! You have an amazing talent Vivian! We’ll keep recommending you and coming back!

Cake Monster

Hey everyone!!!

I’ve been super busy over the past couple weeks, but I wanted to take a minute and share this image from a first birthday cake smash a couple weeks ago.  She clearly enjoyed the cake….:)  I’ll post some more pics from this session soon!!
