{little newborn M.}

Remember this couple?  They welcomed their youngest into their family recently and i had the pleasure of photographing him at 13 days old.  It was a long night and took some of **my**  :) magical touch to get him off to dreamland (i’m sure you’ll agree, right daddy M?!?!).

Newborn sessions are my longest sessions due to diaper changes, feeding, prop **accidents** :) , more feeding and just having cuddle time with mom and dad…..BUT i have to admit —they are my favourite subjects to photograph.  All their innocence and purity just melts my heart and makes me want to capture life at its finest.

Here is their newest sweet addition to their family….

Look at how cute this little grin is….love how she’s biting on her lip…so sweet :)

N.’s mom picked this location and look at this gorgeous tree we were able to find.

{busy weekend.}

What a busy Saturday we had!  One 7 month old, one toddler, one little girl all the way from Cali. , a family of 5 and i even tried to squeeze in taking photos of my own  kids and getting my best friend (who’s not a photographer) to take some shots of me and my family (but i’ll save that for another post :) ).  She was such a trooper and did an amazing job – must be the artist in her (check her out at Jessie Boy Blue ) .

Here are a couple of images from the weekend…

Meet gorgeous little L.

{full swing into fall….}

Have i mentioned that i just LOVE fall?  it’s my favourite time of year to capture some fun and whimsical outdoor portraits.  I LOVE  everything about it…from the colours and the clothes to the crispy bite of the morning air.  Did i mention i love the clothing? it’s so fun to layer clothing.  I’m defintiely an accessory girl (as you can probably tell from my website with all the hats that i use on newborns) and all the different scarves and hats for fall just make me smile :) .

Here is a recent family that i had the opportunity to photograph.  M and D have 4 children.  I only know a handful of people that have more than three kids and i can attest that moms to 4 or more children have the most patient demeanor.  After meeting D i can say, yes my theory still stands…every mom that i know that has 4 or more kids all have the same personality — easy going, patient and genuinely caring.  She just never seemed rushed and everytime one of her kids had something to say, she listened…genuinely listened.  You could just tell that she was a great mom :) .

M and D’s kids were too cute.  when mom said she wanted fall photos, she knew exactly what she wanted.  her two girls came out of the car in their fabulous fall sweaters, sweater dresses and the boys had on cute sweaters and jackets.  mom even came prepared with some hats and scarves.  i love it!! We almost had to reschedule this session due to the weather but am glad we still tried before we called it quits because once we got to our location, we didn’t see a drop of rain.  Light was fading fast but we managed to get some great shots.  Here are a few of my favourties…

This one is definitely my new FAV fall photo…

 

If you’re interested in having a fall session, please drop me an email at info@cherrycortez.com or call 647.400.6538.
