Baby Jack’s First Photo Shoot with Auntie Em

yellow blue and green laundry themed newborn photography shoot in Elmira, Ontario

The thing about my sister and her husband, is that they make really cute babies. Three so far, to be exact.

Little Jack here rushed into the world in the family’s living room back in March, on our grandmother’s 90th birthday. He’s happy and healthy and growing, fast. Like, really fast. He’s going to be a big boy!

For my sister’s third newborn shoot, we wanted to do something literally fun and fresh- and what’s more fresh than the smell of clean laundry and newborn babies? We created a washtub setup and theme in my home studio, and selected a blue, white, yellow, and turquoise colour scheme. I think you’ll agree the result is pretty adorable, even if Jack was fed up with us by the end of it!newborn-photographer-Elmira

Welcome to the family, Baby Jack! Auntie Em can’t wait to take many, many more photos of you and your brother and sister. xoxo

Springtime Birthday Photos for Adorable 3 Year Old Twins

EmilyBeattyKitchenerTwinPhotographerI’ve known these girls since before they were born, and today they turn 3!  twin_photographer_kitchener_waterloo_Emily_Beatty

tulips_Emily_BeattyThis was a very last minute idea, just a handful of shots, just in time for the girls birthday party. The best part is, after many shoots together over the past 3 years, this was the first time the twins were able to collaborate by choosing their own outfits. On the way over, I stopped at the grocery store and picked up a few bouquets of spring flowers to bring some colour to the dull April Canadian landscape. Just by luck, the pink white and yellow flowers coordinated perfectly with the outfits the girls selected. It also just so happens that these two little ladies are about to be big sisters! Definitely cause for celebration. twin_photographer_POMBA_EmilyBeatty

St. Patrick’s Day Portraits with Tiny Twin Leprechauns

Waterloo_twin_photographer_St.Patricks14*bonus_web“Do you have Irish blood in your family?” I asked their mother. “Oh yes!!!” she replied enthusiastically. After bringing her fraternal twin boys for Halloween photos, Christmas photos, and then Valentine’s Day photos, the obvious next step for this family was a mini St. Paddy’s Day shoot.

Our wee setup included plenty of shiny shamrocks, some of my grandmother’s silver candy dishes, foil wrapped chocolate coins, a chest full of golden booty and of course, beer steins. In a testament to their heritage, the boys began miming beer drinking with the empty mugs right away. And those hats! Did you ever see a cuter pair of leprechauns???

Styled Portraits with Twin Two Year Old Ballerinas

Styled Valentine's Portraits I’ve loved these two little girls since before they were born, and I think my heart grew three sizes the day they walked into my studio in their brand new ballet outfits.

This styled session began with a vague, vintage middle school dance kind of theme, but the tutus and L & M’s wonderfully unique personalities brought it to a whole new level. When their mom walked in she clapped her hands and said, “It looks like the prom!” I styled the set with authentic vintage gloves, oversize pink marshmallows, apothecary jars, my grandfather’s vintage camera, and homemade cupcakes. Our shoot was timed to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but I have a feeling some of these images will be on display year round!twin_ballet_portraits_Kitchener_EBI6481edit*flip_web_EBI6294edit_webKitchener_kids_portrait_photographerEmily_Beatty_Imagery_EBI6171edit_web_EBI6387edit_web_EBI6227edit_web_EBI6465edit2_web_EBI6154edit_web_EBI6459edit_web_EBI6183edit1_web_EBI6364edit*_web_EBI6163edit_web_EBI6146edit_web5x7FRONTcardKnightVday2014_web
