Fine Art Black & White Portraiture – Studio Portrait Sessions . Baby Photographer . Child Photographer

Photographing newborns, babies, toddlers and children is always such a fun time in the studio. You can really never know what to expect, and you can really capture some great expressions from these interesting little people! If both mom & dad can come into the studio for the portrait session, it’s usually recommended, as we often have moms and dads helping to capture their baby’s attention, or when it’s time to take a break and relax a bit, play or even have a little snack. Our studio books about 2 weeks in advance for studio portrait sessions. Newborn sessions should ideally be booked before the birth, however, we can usually accommodate for these sessions with a bit less lead time. Ideally, newborn portraits should be done from 0-2 weeks, and these session are 3 hours in length. 

We have a basket of stuffed animals and books here in the studio for play time and for the photo sessions if requested, and we always suggest that you also bring your child’s favourite toy to the session. Sometimes parents like to bring a couple of clothing changes and even a costume as well, like this great duck costume which was absolutely adorable!

I specialize in Black & White portraiture, and photograph exclusively with professional black and white film and a medium format camera. Around 90% of my studio fine art portraits are Black & White. That said, I also offer colour as an option for these sessions, and please simply indicate this preference to us during your pre-consultation. 

Sometimes we get great expressions like this little guy…of course we also have many smiling and natural expressions from this session as well…but this image just brings a smile to my face. 

 

The key with newborn portraits is to try and keep them sleeping….some great tips are to try and feed your baby before the portrait session, so that they are already in a sleepy state. Bring some warm blankets, and try and dress them in clothing that you can easily get them out of without disturbing or waking them. We always keep our studio fairly warm for newborn sessions to ensure their comfort.

Destination Weddings – Curt and Julie ….what a fabulous couple and great week! We truly enjoyed being part of your wedding and meeting so many great people throughout the week!!

Curt and Julie are a great couple that we photographed last October for their destination wedding. The weather was fabulous, and the resort was absolutely beautiful! 

 

Here are some of the photos that we captured to document their wedding day. As a documentary wedding photographer, this was a dream location! Even though the temperature hit 40 °C, you couldn’t have had a better day…a gorgeous fresh breeze that literally carried a faint whiff of cilantro…gorgeous blue skies, the sand the tropical blue sea…..and of course some wonderful people!

I always love to not only capture the emotion and moments throughout the day but also the details that make every wedding special. Julie, the bride, gave her bridesmaids some gorgeous Tiffany necklaces & little purses, which I thought were so cute. Of course, the flower girl and ringbearer each had their own goodies that fit in the theme of the day…pinks & brown were the colours, and I thought these were a beautiful personal touch to the day.

I love to photograph the bride getting ready for her wedding day. I always find this a very special time to quietly observe and capture the emotion as the bride along with her family and bridal party are preparing for the day. You can feel the excitement in the air! This is also a great time to capture great detail photos as well as bridal portraits.

Here are some portraits of the bride and groom as well as some images from the rest of the wedding day.

 

 

This last image is of the bride dancing with the bridal party on a makeshift dancefloor on the beach under the stars. I think this image captures a real feeling of the laid back vibe of the reception and entire wedding day. This image was created with a slower shutter speed to give it a bit of motion blur….which I think gives it a bit of a painterly effect.
