Brantford Birth Photography/The Miracle of Being Born//Welcoming Baby E

It's hard to describe the feelings that come with a request to document a birth. To be invited into such an intimate time is so humbling...and excessively exciting.

It's obviously ridiculous to say that I felt the waiting period as much as Baby E's parents did, but I was obsessive about checking my phone and planning my life around his pending arrival. Through the weeks leading up to the birth, mother Steph and I formed quite a bond through our copious communications. She's a gem and everything about my time with this sweet family has been a gift.

In short, documenting Baby E's welcome into the world was wonderful, a highlight of my summer. 

He is perfect and oh-so-loved.

Enjoy this sneak peek of the behind-the-scenes of his arrival into the family. And thank you, Steph and Mike for letting me into your beautiful family and for allowing us to share these sacred moments.

Guelph Engagement Session//Alex and Lisa

Alex and Lisa are such kind, wonderful humans - we felt immediately at home with them from the first time we hung out with them. We ate snacks and talked about life stuff for hours. When they messaged us about shooting their wedding next year, they said “Alex is finishing up a phD in parasitology and Lisa is finishing up her final year of vet school. [She specializes in chickens.] We live in Guelph and love archery and going for walks and being creative.”

We said, ‘Yes, please come hang out with us!’

In addition, they brought two Robert Munsch books for our little guy which was SO INCREDIBLY SWEET. We’re so grateful to be surrounded by such great people in our lives and are excited to document their wedding at the Ancaster Mill next year.
