calling on the universe

A friend recently posted on Facebook "a call to the universe" for a few of things she would like to attract into her work-life, and it got me to thinking about my own work and what the next little while would have in store. I took the summer off this year to spend it with my girls and I honestly was not prepared AT ALL when September hit and we had to go back to reality this past Tuesday. I sheepishly responded to emails and apologized for delays. 

I had prepared this blog post back in March but never hit the post-button. I have no idea why. Was I feeling nervous or insecure? Probably. Either way, something held me back. But the truth is that I really enjoyed this session and I should have shared it back in March! Along with so many other sessions that I have loved. And I'd like more of these in my life. So here's my call to the universe as I get my work-life back in to order this week. I'd really love to book more maternity and newborn sessions this fall and winter – cozy, cuddly, casual, easy, no-fuss, lots of love, forget the stress, be in the moment – type of sessions. There it is, out there for the universe.

For baby E and his parents who shared a quiet morning with me in their new home. Even though my girls are out of this stage now, it still tugs at my heart to be around a little one at this age. Discovering their hands and feet, taking delight in music and books, nothing but smiles for mom and dad, babbling and quiet cuddles. It's just so darn cute and it goes by way too quickly.

We're about to be hit with a final winter snowstorm. Well I'm just going to keep thinking happy thoughts of warmth and sunshine. 

This session was from early September and features a fellow photographer and her beautiful family. Always an honour...

Baby C | Toronto Family Photographer

I captured this sweet family back in early December. Baby C was about 9 weeks old at the time, and while I do love my newborn sessions, it's always really fun to work with babies that are a bit older – especially when they are smiling and cooing for their parents.

The end of a great year… | Toronto Family Photographer

As 2014 comes to a close, I thought I'd share a few favourites from sessions this year. I have been so lucky to have worked with so many awesome families and it was tough to narrow it down to just these. As we enter 2015, I'm looking forward to catching up on some blogging and "behind the scenes" work over the next few months, and also eager to meet some of my youngest clients as they join the world (and if you or anyone you know is expecting a little one, please do send them my way!).  Also, if anyone is interested in a snowy, outdoor family session, drop me a line and we'll start planning.

Thank you for a wonderful year and I wish you all the best for 2015.
