LEARN | Newborn Workshop with Nicole Smith Photography

I am very fortunate to have been in Vancouver, BC this summer at just the right time to attend Nicole Smith Photography’s Newborn Workshop!! World renown, Nicole brought her stunning warm and moody newborn portraits to life for us, openly sharing her tips and tricks & stunning poses (as well as being the cutest thing to boot in the meantime;)!!

We shared a full day with 4 gorgeous little newborn models watching soothing, posing & wrapping techniques and then taking turns capturing images of these little beauties to share with you!

We were also spoiled rotten by some wonderful vendors whose work you should seriously check out:

Spoiled even further by our own personal trunk show put on by the lovely Shawna who is the talent behind Wild Blossom Props http://www.wildblossomprops.bigcartel.com/. Her handknit items were drool-worthy and I came away with a gorgeous little package of goodies to soon be used in the studio.

Being able to meet with some other photographers back in Canada was so much fun and I look forward to seeing more of these girls upon our return next summer.

Special thanks to our gracious host Cathy Kam who opened up her beautiful studio to us all!!  http://cathykamphotography.com/

Here are some photos from the day.

DREAM | Victoria BC Maternity Baby Photography

This is my very first official blog post….ever!!! Not sure why I’ve shied away from blogging for so long, but in the world of photography it seems like a pretty important thing to start. So as part of my New Year “improvements” this is the first of many posts to come;). Very excited to introduce you to my newly renovated website. A huge shout out to my awesome husband, who turned these website dreams into reality!!

Ideally newborns come into the studio when they are between 4-10 days old. These sessions are often up to 3 hours long. My assistant Clare is always next to baby making sure that he or she is safe and comfortable at all times. Photographing babies at this age helps us capture those sleepy, curly little poses that only newborns can do so beautifully. Precious moments frozen in time when baby is tiny. Soft feathery hair, flaky skin and gorgeous little fingers and toes. To me a newborn is perfection.

Without further ado, here is this gorgeous little boy who came into the studio before the holiday break. I have photographed this family before and it is always lovely to see them and watch their family grow.

Thank-you for stopping by!
