ethan and his big sister, siena

I first met Siena when she was just a little baby asleep in her grandfather’s arms.  Now, at two years old, she is a little fire cracker, full of energy; with sleep the last thing on her mind, especially since she now has a little baby brother she needs to keep a close eye on. ...

baby twins miles + miya | toronto baby photography

I had to post a few images of a recent shoot I did of twins Miles and Miya as they are just too adorable. Despite a few tears, falling asleep in mid-shoot, and lots of spitting up on our props, we managed to get some really cute shots in.  Photographing babies is always a challenge,...
