Baby Thomas is a Christmas surprise, born on Christmas Eve and has the honor of also being my first newborn of 2009 ;)

Max came in to see me at 15 days old so I knew we would have a little bit more work to do to keep him snoozy. He was so good though and played along for the most part, we have so many cute shots. A few of my favourites...

10 day old Yasmin definitely had a mind of her own today, but we got there in the end with the help of the good old dummy! She has the most amazing head of hair, my gosh I love little bubs with a ton of hair! She was feeling very smiley too and threw us quite a few cute grins.

Future ladies man for sure here, look at that smile! Pascal was such a cutie this morning...

Baby Sarsha had very firm ideas of what she would and wouldn't do this morning, we finally worked out that she would like the fan on (I've never had a baby who loved a draft so much), she like to be wrapped with her arms in and didn't like being on her back. Once we worked her out, she was good as gold - just try and resist her cuteness!

Jane had so much fun with her pregnancy session, she made my job very easy! Can't wait to meet the little one in just a few weeks time.

I know the blog has been so quiet, believe me I've been busy! I'm now working out of the new studio and baby William christened the space this morning with the very first session. And he was so good to me! He's such a little butterball and slept through his whole shoot.

I joined a few fellow photographers in a personal project this January. To take one photo each day of my life. No posing allowed, just candid, real moments.... and that includes not worrying if the kids are dirty, dressed or undressed or if my house is in a questionable state at the end of a long day. It's been so much fun and I plan on making a beautiful album for us to keep as a memory of our life, just the way it is. Enjoy!
