There are 3 great (crucial even) times to photograph children – newborn, when they are sitting and when they are walking. Baby Claire easily sits unsupported but still doesn’t crawl – so it’s an ideal time for a baby shoot! One of my friends once told me that this stage was her favourite – they are at peak ‘baby-ness’ – chubby legs, chubby cheeks and full of smiles. Claire is so ideal to shoot – I came back to shoot her in the orchard, but that’s another post 
Young children, blossoms and sunshine – perfect right? Here is bunch of (REALLY) cute kids among the blossoms last month……
The prefect session. Perfect. Such a fantastic milestone to capture too, turning One! Truly one of the most joyful little girls I have ever met. She makes me want to shoot one years olds every day.
Fabulous session M&J and baby C – so glad we made it happen when we did.
It’s wonderful to have my friends refer me to their friends and colleagues -that’s how I met this family. Such adorable boys and nice parents! I am finding many wonderful uses for my new wide angle lens lately too; love the shot of big brothers room with the fireman toys and decor (guess what Dad does?).
On an other note, I am almost caught up. Lots of blog posts this week to follow……
Love this one; 
I’m sure most photographers will tell you how much we enjoy seeing clients again, especially little ones. I would have never matched this baby to her newborn picture, how she’s grown and changed! I also thought the resemblance to her brother was really remarkable. Makes me wonder if a third sibling would also be as identical!
I love my new wide angle lens. It’s terrific for ‘lifestyle’ sessions and interior shots….
Remember these two?
Well they’re almost One now! Seeing how babies grow and change in the first year never gets old to me; it’s simply amazing. You can really see hints of their personality in the images too.

I know what you’re thinking – this is a good-looking group.. they are, but they are also great sports and a darn nice bunch of siblings. Thanks guys – I love the results from our shoot. Hopefully you feel the same! 
One father and son shot because I love it
To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were/ We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We outside the touch of time. Carla Ortega
I’ve been shooting at Smithville Christian High over the last few weeks taking images for their promotional material. I’ve had the pleasure of capturing Boys Soccer, the cast of the drama production (The Mouse that Roared), Chapel, Creative Arts evening, the Community Choir as well as regular student life. I’d like to tell you that it makes me feel like a teen again – but nope. I have enjoyed it though!
