Baby Photos Worth Waiting For!

This baby boy was an absolute sweetie!! I was so excited that his parents chose me to photograph their maternity photos as well as newborn baby pictures. I really do feel honoured each and every time families choose me to document this incredible time in their lives! I have many clients coming from Victoria, but also meeting more and more families who travel from Up Island.

We timed each of the sessions around Dad’s work abroad, but due to his work schedule they had to wait until he was almost 2 months old to view the photos as they wanted to do so in person together. I am always thrilled to see their faces and hear their emotion as they watch their gallery slideshow for the first time. I can’t believe how much this little one has grown already in such a short time and how fleeting that “newborn’ stage really is.

Please enjoy a look into some of his gallery below 🙂

Sweet Baby Boy Dreams…

Oh my goodness, this precious baby boy was a dream! We took a little while to settle him at the beginning (he arrived ready to party ;)) but after a full feed he drifted into a big sleep. I love that mom chose these fresh greens and neutrals. As our days get greener and the blossoms of Spring continue to bloom it’s nice to incorporate this palette and I think it was perfect for his skin tone.

The image right at the end is of Grandpa & mom’s hands holding baby. I think it is so special when grandparents come to our sessions. Grandpa didn’t want to be in a photo straight on but I convinced him to do just this one. I love that hands carry so much wisdom and strength and the dichotomy between an older generation and fresh new birth is so beautiful. This baby is so very loved.

Please don’t hesitate to call (250-885-6860) if you are thinking of creating beautiful memories of this special time in your baby’s life. You are more than welcome to send me a message at amandahaddow@gmail.com.

Victoria Baby Photographer -Precious Baby Girl

This little one was so very calm for us throughout her session, very happy to snuggle up and and loved being wrapped. I love how she awoke on our last set up, bright eyed for her last few photos.

Oh my goodness, to have a head of hair like this!! She was so precious, and had the most gorgeous long eyelashes and sweet little cheeks 🙂

Sometimes parents come in with a very definite idea of the colours they would like and this family was no exception. These pretty pastels were perfect for her!

I feel so fortunate to be a newborn photographer here in Victoria. To have a job that I love, to be able to be a small part of these precious babies lives and capture this incredible (and fleeting) stage for families, fills me up!

If you would love to book a baby photo session for your newborn, please call Amanda at 250-885-6860 or email at amandahaddow@gmail.com to find out more!

A Gorgeous Baby Girl – Her Newborn Photography Session Share

I am sharing this gorgeous baby girl’s newborn session today! What a sweetie she was, all of the pretty blush pinks, creams & hint of grey a girl could want!

Mom arrived with baby for the first part of the session and then we called Dad and big brother back for the final 30minutes at the end of the session for some family photos as well as some sibling photos. I find that having baby nice a settled in for the first part of the shoot works well in order to get our sleepy posing complete. This is usually a relaxing experience for mom to just sit and enjoy the session (and maybe even put her feet up to read a magazine!). I often suggest that Dad take any siblings off to the park up the street or out for a snack so they are fresh when they arrive at the studio. This becomes a fun and engaging experience for big brother to walk into and if baby awakes at this point, it really doesn’t matter!!

Would you love to book a dreamy baby session of your own? We often suggest reserving your photo shoot when you are around 20 weeks to ensure a spot in our booking calendar. I can’t wait to meet you and capture this part of your story!!

Twin Girls!! Newborn Session, Victoria BC

I was so excited when this mama contacted me to book photos for her twins!! Booking in advance is especially important with multiples and these little ones tend to arrive a little earlier oftentimes. A few weeks later they arrived and came to visit me in the studio. Mom is a beautiful sewer of the most gorgeous quilts (go have a look at her work), so I was really excited when she brought along the beautiful quilts she had made for her girls. Each of them works of art, I love working special items like these into the session. They might not be the main focus of the shot but having something that is handmade or special to your little ones is a great way to add a little colour in and be able to look back and remember those special touches.

They did so well for us and were amazing to work with. I love how these girls just cozied up to one another and were happiest while snuggling together in our props. There really is such a special bond shared between twins!!

To follow around to our blog circle this week, please go take a look at children and family photographer Emily Frances Photography she is sharing a beautiful newborn session from Preston there today!

Beautiful Baby Boy Sneak Peek

I just wanted to share a little peek into this beautiful baby boy’s newborn photo session. I love when a client asks me for a color that I don’t often use, this time it was yellow. We were able to find a few little accessories and mix the color in a little with white and greys. Grandma came along to his session and her sari scarf was so perfect for the big bowl basket set-up that we were able to use (in the last photo here). This sweet baby boy was so good and slept all the way until the very last set up where we were able to capture his bright eyes!! It’s so much fun to get creative and go in a different direction with colors in a newborn session.

I am so excited to invite this little one into our First Year Baby Planner family, where we will continue to capture his sweet milestones throughout the year!

If you would like to inquire into our First Year Baby Planner sessions or book a newborn photo session with Amanda, please don’t hesitate to give her a call at 250-885-6860 or send a little note to amandahaddow@gmail.com.
