Q.T. | Exploring Life {Niagara Children’s Photographer}

tamsen — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 22:00:27 PST

This little cutie is Quinn. To celebrate her first birthday, her grandma booked a session with me. The first ten minutes went very well…and then, well then she got sick of it all. She didn’t really make much of a fuss, but she certainly didn’t want to flash a smile either! We sang a few rounds of ‘The Wheels On The Bus’ which she enjoyed but in the end, I fell in love with some of the more serious images. It’s not all about the full eye contact and the huge grins, but capturing your childs personality and creating memories. Of course, I’ll share some smiley ones too! Just wanted to say a special thanks to Jen, (you know who you are) a very sweet client who has referred me so many wonderful clients in the past year! xo

Product Showcase | Session Albums {Niagara Newborn Photographer}

tamsen — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:00:28 PST

New to Collections this year is the session album. A 20 page, lay flat, custom 10×10 album, this item is perfect for showcasing your favorite images from your session. A simple design allows the images to take center stage. The images are printed using archival quality inks that don’t fade or smudge. The board pages will withstand creases and bends and the matte finish is absolutely stunning! These albums are fine art, museum quality items, hand bound and created to last for generations to come. One of the most beautiful things about them are the gutterless pages- this means that an image can go right across the page without having a cut or deep crease in the middle. The effect is absolutely stunning!

Fiona | Fresh Life {Grimsby Newborn Baby Photographer}

tamsen — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:08:12 PST

Sweet baby Fiona was 3 days fresh at her newborn session. As part of my model call, I was looking to get a few select images of some product for a local vendor and I also tried a special shot for Fiona’s daddy, who wanted to incorporate his motorcycle helmet into the images of his newborn daughter. Normally I wouldn’t do something like this, but because she was SO good we had some extra time and she was still nice and sleepy. Getting those newborns into the studio as early as possible makes SUCH a difference in the flow and final outcome of the session!

A Winter White Maternity Session | Full of Life {Niagara Photographer}

tamsen — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:00:51 PST

This lovely couple is expecting their very first child together and Caleb was so sweet to purchase the Belly to Baby Plan for his wife as a birthday gift. What better gift than these precious memories captured? We had a lot of fun together and even at their Ordering Session my husband could hear me laughing from the office. What can I say- they’re funny and I laugh loud!

I am really looking forward to meeting their little one as well in just a short time now, D.V!

Newborn Taylre | Fresh Life {Niagara’s Newborn Photographer}

tamsen — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:01:13 PST

Sweet baby Taylre was only 3 days old for her newborn session and she did so amazing! Hardly a peep the whole session I was able to get all the shots I had planned (she was part of my model call) while chatting with her mother who is completely in love. I can see why- Taylre’s eyelashes and full lips are so beautiful and she is most certainly a blessing from our Father!

Me and Mine | 2/13 {Niagara Baby Photographer}

tamsen — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:00:36 PST

Well this was fun. -10 degrees, a baby waiting patiently in the car and many, many on-lookers…but I’m so happy to have gotten this shot of me and my girls. It’s pretty much what I had in mind…and the girls were SO good! This was another self-timer shot- there’s some funny outtakes of me running back and forth! haha Who wears heels in snow and soft ground? Oh yeah, me.

Baby Boy | Exploring Life {Grimsby Baby Photographer}

tamsen — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:00:06 PST

Just a few recent shots of my little boy- I could just eat him up. Too bad he’s near impossible to take pictures of nowadays!

See that irritated glare in the bottom right?! Yeah, I get that from him a lot lately…

Will & Wendy | Together for Life {Niagara Wedding Photographer}

tamsen — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:00:21 PST

This is Part Two of Will and Wendy’s wedding day- you can see their traditional Chinese tea ceremony here. I loved photographing Wendy, in case you can’t tell. She was a natural in front of the camera! Thanks again to Cindy of Absolute Photography for having me along!

After the tea ceremony Wendy changed into her wedding gown with the help of her mother and aunt. We then photographed their touching ceremony in Christ Church.

After the ceremony, the whole wedding party showed just how much they loved Will and Wendy by sticking it out in the cold weather and being absolutely awesome! We photographed them in areas all around Niagara-on-the-Lake. It was a busy day and there were many onlookers and well wishers! At some points there were even tourists standing beside me, behind me, etc. taking pictures of Will and Wendy together! I guess they thought Will and Wendy were pretty awesome too.

I couldn’t decide- color or black and white?

We took some more images of the whole wedding party after cocktails (and warming up) at Queenston Heights Restaurant.

What to Wear {Niagara Infant Photographer}

tamsen — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 19:03:55 PST

From personal experience, I can say that putting together outfits for a group of people is NOT easy. With our little family of five, there are so many things to consider- coloring, comfort, style and co-ordination without being too matchy. It takes a special talent to put together perfect combinations of clothing that makes everyone look and feel good! If that talent is not yours (it’s definitely not mine!) you can cheat by looking through some of these inspiration boards…visual inspiration is my only hope when trying to plan our family’s outfits for a session.
