{miss sofia. | 4 weeks old.} :: Woodbridge Newborn Baby Photographer, Toronto Newborn Baby Photographer

Remember, this little man? i photographed him with his lovely parents when he was 3 weeks old in march 2009.  well….he’s grown quite a bit since then.  So much that now he’s a big brother to a beautiful little baby sister named Sofia.

This is big brother, whom i photographed with my vintage door and in a cute little basket a year ago….

i haven’t used my vintage door in over a year.  What a perfect opportunity to pull it out and capture his sister using similar imagery ….

It truly is a wonderful feeling being a part of my client’s lives and watching their families grow.  P contacted me at the beginning of the year to tell me she was expecting #2.  Thanks so much for letting me be a part of such an amazing time in your lives.  Your children are beautiful!  congrats P&B.

{stunning maternity. | 32 weeks.} :: Pickering Maternity Photographer, Toronto Maternity Photographer

When i first opened my doors to met this family, i was faced with the mama.to.be, S.  I couldn’t believe just how gorgeous this soon-to-be mom of 3 was.  Then walked in her two boys, T and L who had faces that looked like they belonged on kids magazines.  Then daddy A, walked through, who was just way beyond cool.  I really couldn’t believe how each one of them were so stunningly beautiful.  Really.  Daddy A (who will forever be know as ‘Andrew’ to me) was such a great sport too, letting S and I pose him for some images and letting me call him ‘Andrew’ to my heart’s content.

S and A, i can’t wait to meet your newest addition soon….

xoxoxo,

{Newborn Faux Hawk…meet Mr. T. | 14 days old.} :: Toronto Newborn Photographer and Oakville Newborn Photographer

It can’t get any cuter than this….Newborn baby love  at 14 days old….Mr. T. is stylin’ with his TOO cute faux hawk.  i was just lovin’ his hair.  i photographed his big sister miss V  two years ago on her 1st birthday.  It’s always a treat to see how much my little clients have grown.  Isn’t she gorgeous??  If you ask me, i think these two make a beautiful brother/sister pair…

Congrats R & V….T is a handsome addition to your family…

{the B. family. } :: Durham Region Baby Photographer & Durham Region Family Photographer

Meet the B family. This is my second time working with sisters C and C. When their mommy contacted me to book another session she told me that her BIL and SIL from Ottawa were hoping to book a session too. So we had one big cousin session!! The weather didn’t cooperate with us that day so we had to have most of their session indoors but i think it still worked out beautifully!

I know the B family has been waiting for a sneak-peak for awhile. Thanks so much for a fun morning :) . It was great seeing you again N & Y– your girls are just as gorgeous as i remember them! To M & D: thanks so much for traveling down from Ottawa…i loved photographing your little cuties M and N!

I haven’t posted an image of a collage in awhile. They are usually custom requests. Occasionally, i will show one in your gallery. Collages and storyboards are custom creations that feature a few images and most often include some text. It’s a beautiful way to highlight a few of your favourite images from a session by showcasing them together in a grouping like this…

{Mr. C. 21 days old :: Durham Region and Woodbridge Newborn Photographer.}

This little man was soooooo good to me.  He was 21 days old for his ‘newborn’ session.  Normally, i hold newborn sessions before the baby is 10 days old so i was a little unsure about how he would curl or how sleepy he’d be.  He totally proved me wrong and curled and slept just beautifully …

P and B…it was sooo great to finally meet you all.   i had a wonderful afternoon with you both and your handsome new addition to your family.  Congrats to you both :) !!

Email Down

On a side note, if you have emailed me in the last couple of days and have not heard back from me, i promise….i’m not ignoring you.  I discovered late last night that my email has been down since Friday.  It is back up so if you have emailed me at info@cherrycortez.com, i will get back to you within the next 48 hours as i just received a backlog of emails at 2am this morning.  Thanks so much for your patience :) .

{….and belly makes six.}

i had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family who is expecting their fourth.  These people are just so near and dear to us and i was absolutely honoured when L asked me to capture her ‘family maternity shots’.  My husband and L’s husband grew up together so i’ve known them since it was just the two of them in their dating stage.  I’ve always had a gut feeling they were going to have a big family….it just suited them.  So…it was no shock to us when they told us that they were expecting!!  Now look at them….on their way to being a family of six.  How amazing is that :) ?? L is due in 3 weeks and i must say — she looks absolutely breathtaking!!  Just wanted to show you some of my favourites…i hope you love them as much as i do :) .  We’ll be waiting for the big news ;)

Love,

–cherry.

BTW, i love this first image.  i LOVE how each of the children are doing their own thing.  The boy being the joker, the girl in the middle being all girly and ‘posing’ for me and their littlest one just being cute and trying to stay up….soooo them!

June 30, 2008 - 10:22 am Amy - Oh my look at those GORGEOUS Eyes!!! That photo of him as a newborn with his daddy is just gorgeous!

{sweet, sweet baby ‘M’.}

She was such a little sweetie…with the cutest hair.  Baby ‘M’ was 13 days at her photo shoot.  She was a tough little newborn — she fought us and stayed awake for most of the session and then finally gave in to us at the tail end.  After that, she let us pose her any way we wanted.  This is why i always recommend newborn photos to be taken as soon as you get home from the hospital (or within the first 14 days they are born).  Only a newborn can do the squishy, curly poses that we love so much. Look at little ‘M’ curl….newborns just melt my heart :)
