I met a great new couple last weekend, who I really enjoyed working with,

they booked me for maternity photos, originally wanting “studio” shots, but with the gorgeous

spring weather we’ve had I suggested we do it outdoors, and I am SO glad we did!

I am always thankful to meet new clients, thank you to S & H who were so easy going, and ready for anything,

even sitting on a hill of dandelions (which unfortunately leave BIG yellow marks just to warn you!)

Here are some of my faves from the session…

They are using some of their photos for a big “collage” to use at a baby shower, what a great idea!

Looking forward to our newborn shoot coming up soon!

I am introducing something new to shelley k photography called…..

*tiny tots* mini photo sessions at the park!

Mini photo sessions for your baby/child

We all want special photos of our children, and what better place to take them then the great outdoors! A place where our children love to be and play and grow. The *tiny tot* photo sessions last only 20 minutes in length so you don’t have to worry about your child getting squirmy, I want to capture them in their natural environment, walking through tall grass, picking a flower, running in the late day sun! You will then be provided with 5 images for your printing enjoyment! The price is $50 and the date is Monday June 21st, location to be annouced! Please message me for more details or booking, spaces are limited (we already have a couple little cuties that are in!)!!!

See you at the park!

photos in this post are of little “D” sweet little girl I photographed a few weeks ago!

One of my sessions this past weekend was with a lovely new client Lindsay, who just wanted some good ol’ photos of herself!

I really enjoy doing shoots of one person on their own, it gives opportunity for a new kind of creativity, and a chance to try new things.  Lindsay and I had fun trying different poses (yes I tried them myself too) and we even had a laugh about trying to “smize” (smile with our eyes)  Here are some of my faves from the session.

It was great to meet you Lindsay, have fun with your new fresh photos!

Gotta love a good pair of red shoes!

Months ago I had the privilege of photographing twin boys,

so if you are in need of a little baby fix…

enjoy!

Thank you to the wonderful family for allowing me to share some of your special memories…

Can’t wait to photograph you all again next week!

Do you ever  just look at your children and marvel at what a blessing and gift they are?

Today while I took these photos, that is exactly what I was doing…

Thankful in so many ways for my two little peas in a pod, my two little

(or I should say BIG)

blessings from the Lord!

Ben with his larger then life personality, big laugh and big heart…

And my little daisy girl Mia, whose sweetness and smile bring me so much joy!

Take a moment to soak in the blessings of your children today!

Every single pregnancy and baby is special, and full of excitement and wonder…..but there is something about waiting for #1 that is filled with so much anticipation!  I remember waiting for our Ben (whom we didn’t know was a Ben at the time) I went 8 days past my due date and thought I would be pregnant forever!  I remember looking at our baby’s fresh clean clothes waiting to be worn, walking past the nursery and looking in at the empty crib a hundred times a day, just waiting and waiting to hold my precious baby in my arms, and not in my belly anymore!  I would wonder what our baby’s gender would be, what he/she would look like…dark hair?  NO hair?  And the list goes on, needless to say I was very excited to become a parent!

Which brings us to Jerry & Steph, a really wonderful couple that attend our church (Harvest Bible Chapel, York Region)  They are awaiting the arrival of their first little baby!  Steph was looking for some simple maternity photos, that were modest and helped her to remember her pregnancy and that beautiful belly she has been carrying around for almost 9 months!  We met in an outdoor location on a gorgeous sunny evening, and started to snap away.  Jerry and Steph thank you for letting me capture this special time in your lives, I know you will be amazing parents, and “baby bee” is so very blessed to be coming into the Bolton fam, soon to be 3 members!

Here are some of my faves from the shoot, Steph you are glowing and so very pretty!!  Jerry was looking great too, he has that “New Dad” glow!
