Dinosaur Birthday Photoshoot - Kitchener, Ontario

This weekend, I had the honour of welcoming back a handsome little dude who I saw last year at his 1st birthday cake smash! Another year older and a whole year cuter, Mum and I decided on a Dinosaur themed 2nd birthday photoshoot! It's amazing what you can do with a wee bit of extra time to plan the perfect session! In this case, I had enough time to shop for a special backdrop to use for his session, and of course, it was covered in Dino's! I sometimes have flexibility to book a cake smash session a week or so in advance, but a little extra time in advance lets me plan an intergalactic photo session!

I loved setting up for this session... After getting the backdrop up and placing in a few props, I don't know what made me wander over to the window at the studio, but there down in the parking lot were some hanging vine-like branches that would look absolutely amazing in the set. Off I went. *snip snip* and presto! Extra dimension to the set! My creativity must have been on fire that day. lol I must say I was rather proud of myself!

His reaction when he walked in and saw the dinosaur backdrop was absolutely priceless to me! He knew exactly which was the T-Rex and has mastered the sound of roaring like the Dino's themselves!

This little sweetie has been introduced to Tim Bits, but this was his first time sitting down to a plate of 1 dozen doughnuts!! I actually can't say I personally have ever been presented with 1 dozen doughnuts on a fancy plate!! I feel kinda envious about that! lol I think it was the perfect alternative to a cake which is often used for 1st birthday session. Needless to say, he was a happy camper. Mum, Dad and I just loved it and had so much fun!

Here is a collection from our session. I hope you like them as much as I do! Apparently this is going to be one hot little set as its already been requested by 3 other families! I just love hitting the nail on the head when coming up with specialty themes. This was client-collaboration excellence!


If you have an idea for a specialty themed session, we should 100% chat and make it happen! It's so fun creating new and exciting photos that have a special place in your heart, because your little one is currently in love with that particular subject! (Ie: Dino's!!!) #memoriesmade!

I hope you like this session as much as I do! Let me know below what you think! I'd love to hear some themes ideas that you'd like to see in the future!

Kitchener Sitter Session!

Gahhh! Give me ALL the little sitters! On Friday, I had this little beauty in the studio for her Sitter session. It was wonderful seeing her again! The last time I photographed her she was just a wee babe - maybe a week old!

This is one of my favourite sessions to capture before the BIG O-N-E Cake Smash session because we get to showcase all the charming personality that shines through. She has grown and changed so much, and its easy to see what an amazing toddler she will be soon!

For this session, a custom outfit was ordered from a very talented vendor who is wildly popular in the biz. If you have the chance, check out her work here: https://www.facebook.com/Propsbyjeana
She has beautiful outfits for almost any age and is open to ideas, which worked out awesome, because I made a few special requests for this particular outfit. And oh my goodness - the colours!? My all time fav!!

This can be a session that is sometimes overlooked for a special photoshoot, and I truly wish more parents booked it. Its just so cool to see the in-between stage, where already so much development has taken place, yet SO much more is about to happen! In just a short while this precious little princess will be walking and talking up a storm! I can't wait for her 1st birthday. Mum and I are 100% in cahoots planned the perfect custom theme which will absolutely knock everyones socks off!

Let me know what you think of her session, and if you have a little one at home who is sitting, or just about to start, get in touch today and let's plan something awesome to remember this fun stage with!!
