PICKERING NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | WELCOME BABY CHARLOTTE – Looking at these images, while it’s currently minus 12 outside, makes me feel ready for the coldness to be over and summer to arrive.

Before the pandemic, we only offered newborn images inside the studio, but boy was I unaware what the outdoor newborn session could bring. It’s my new obsession with outdoor newborn photography. I will offer it over studio newborn if the weather is right for it.  Keep in mind indoor sessions and outdoors sessions are done at different times of the day.

In studio sessions always start at 11:00 am. This gives the family time to get ready in the morning and get to me on time without the added stress of rushing too early in the morning. Outdoor sessions are done 1.5 hours before the sunset time.

One of my babies was born at the end of April, and the other, end of August. The chance was there to do my sons newborn session outside, had I thought of it I would have (ok, would have done both because it’s technically free). Where was this idea 9.5 years ago?

I love the indoor sessions don’t get me wrong. There is so much to appreciate with indoor sessions such as: controlled temperature, No wind, No bugs, Privacy, cleaner, and I also have a full size bed in the studio with a bathroom and a kids play area… just a few things to consider. BUT – the light – oh that warm sunny golden light, that I crave for every session. It’s just magical. When the stars align an you get a gorgeous summer sunset – you just can’t beat it. Give me the wind, the sand, the bugs, the onlookers, just for that light that peaks between the trees, and the Bokeh like no other.

Ok, now that I’m done gushing about the summer and how much I want it back (yes, I’m over the snow now, it was pretty, now time to go). I’d like to introduce this peach pie, named Charlotte. Those crystal blue eyes and head full of hair, she really can’t get any sweeter.

I photographed her older Sister, Adelaide’s session in their home, you can see that Lifestyle type blog post HERE . And a few more since she was born, so it was so nice to see how much she’s grown and how much she loves her baby sister. She really stepped into the big sister role so adorably. See for yourself…..
