Good-bye old home... you served me well.

Cute as a button, strong as an ox! // Burlington Newborn Photographer

I'm not sure I've ever seen a newborn so taken with his mom!  His eyes were constantly seeking her out... and I could literally feel his body relax when he found her.  It was really, really so sweet!  And no wonder, isn't she lovely?  Truly beautiful inside and out.

As promised... Part Two // Ancaster Child and Pet Photographer

She may look all cute and cuddly... and she is, but underneath all that there is a definite stubborn streak!

Obviously couldn't resist sneaking a couple more in of the real star of the show!  (sorry Frankie, cute bulldogs don't trump cute boys in my books!)

How Could I Resist?? Part One // Ancaster Child Photographer

Seriously?  Seriously.  Isn't he the cutest?  (erm... aside from my own kids of course! LOL).  I have to confess, I am SO glad winter is releasing us from it's clutches because I've been waiting for the ground to thaw to get out there and get some photos with this gorgeous little man.  More to come... he brought a BULLDOG!  Double cute!

Long awaited... // Burlington Child Photographer

Today the rain stopped.  The birds were chirping.  The sun was shining.  It warmed up... just enough to ditch our winter coats.  So, the boys and I went out and had some fun!

And, now we're done having fun!

Snow Day // Burlington Child Photographer

I have been waiting for these shots... for this marsh to freeze, for the snow to cover the ground.  This inspires me.  I have big plans for this spot... care to join me?

Happy New Year!

Sending wishes of health & happiness in 2011!  And a special wish to a dear friend of mine who will be ringing in the New Year in hospital.  You are in my thoughts tonight... hopefully these images will shine a little light in your "cave."

Love,
Tessa

Early for the Holidays

This little bug wasn't due to arrive until the New Year!  Guess he didn't want to miss out on the joy of the holidays... that, or the presents!

Merry Christmas

Sweet for the Holidays // Burlington Baby Photographer

It was so nice seeing this little sweetie again...  Miss L, you are such an expressive & inquisitive little doll!

Even her pout is sweet...

Mr. T // Burlington Baby Photographer

Time to fess up... 9 week olds are difficult to photograph... usually.  Mr. T is quite possibly the biggest exception to the rule.  Sure, there were tears... there always are (sometimes regardless of age!).  Sure, he made me work for it... they always do.  But, oh my, was it ever worth it.  Mr. T is a natural.  9 weeks old and already owning "Blue Steel."

Team J // Milton Child Photographer

This little monkey crashed his mom's photo shoot.  He was kind enough to oblige me with a few (emphasis on few) minutes in front of the camera!  Hopefully we got one for the Holiday card!

Two Souls... // Milton Maternity Photographer

I am completely blessed to have wonderful lifelong friends.  She and I were literally separated at birth, or so the story goes.  We were born 2 days apart at the same hospital back in the day when you weren't sent home moments after giving birth.  We were reunited in high school and it wasn't long before we noticed certain similarities.  We might be a little particular, though we'd rather think it's the perfectionist in us.  We might be a little stubborn, though we'd rather think of it as determined.  We both possess(ed) brilliant memories (until we had kids).  We have been loyal friends for (rhymes with) many years.  I would like to thank her for putting up with me for this long... and for allowing me to photograph her at 32 weeks pregnant!  She's gorgeous! and I can't wait to meet baby G #2.

Handsome for the Holidays // Burlington Child Photographer

Aren't these precious little men just SO handsome?  I kind of want to pinch their cheeks... but, that would be inappropriate and annoying.  Trust me, I've been there!
