I’m so very excited about this post! Not only because Sabre is such an adorable little newborn but because Sabre is a one of my first Baby Couture clients. In case you’re wondering what Baby Couture is, it’s my new line of premium baby albums. They are perfect for the fashion forward parent that has an eye for style and wants something couture for their baby. The Baby Couture albums are made of gorgeous fabrics and leathers designed by us with a bit of fashion, imagination and playfulness in mind to really reflect the personality of your baby. Think of it as something like John Galliano meets the traditional baby album, sure to tempt your inner fashionista!

It takes very special parents that want only the best for their baby and this is what Baby Couture is. A way to have something very custom that is as unique as your baby. I had so much fun with little Sabre and his mom and dad during his session, they really, really love this cute little guy.

He was a dream to photograph and slept all through the session like a little koala in a tree What a sweetie!

He even let me get him into froggy pose… Isn’t he so cute with his chubby cheeks!

It was so nice to incorporate some of the beautiful fabrics from his parents wedding day in his photo shoot.

When Sabre did wake up he was bright eyed and bushy tailed and had a good time peaking at me from behind my camera.

Look at those big sparkly eyes! He’s such a happy little guy

I loved playing with all of the vibrant colours but I wanted to do something a bit more creamy and neutral too. I think this goes so beautifully with his peachy complexion. Super cute!

This teddy bear hat has been a big favourite of almost every client that has come into the studio. It’s made it’s fair share of appearances on the blog. It’s so adorable everyone always wants one or two shots with it. I totally love it too!

Thanks so much to Sabre’s amazing parents! I really enjoyed spending the time with you and adorable newborn Sabre. I’m also very excited to share with you all the new Baby Couture line coming very soon… Who says babies and fashion can’t mix!

Hi Everyone!

Glad to see you all back and checking into the Rainbow Blog! We’ve had a very busy shooting week but I couldn’t wait to blog this when it came in. I have to say, I was so excited when Makio’s package was shipped to the door. The anticipation was killing me as I tore through all of the tape and cardboard to see what was inside. I mean I already knew what was waiting for me… A gorgeous 10×14 Custom Baby Album and 3 Rave books (for Makio’s happy new family members), but I couldn’t wait to see how the final product turned out!

Since Makio’s parents are such cool people and are naturally very creative working in the music industry, I knew they would choose a unique design that would really showcase Makio’s newborn photography. They took it one step further and upgraded to a Metallic paged Album for their special little guy. It really  gives a richness to the book and makes the images pop off the page!!

Check out the quality of the binding, it’s like nothing we’ve ever seen from any Album company out there.  All of our high end Baby Albums are hand crafted to perfection and it shows.

What a unique and creative way to do an Album cover. I love the way the black strip balances with the photo square. Very stylish and very modern! Who says Baby Albums have to be boring, frumpy and just like the guys next door. Why not go for  quality and style with a custom piece that compliments your decor and reflects your personality! Stay tuned to the blog, we have many more baby shoots to blog and lots of gorgeous Album options coming soon!

Boy oh boy, am I ever excited about this post! I have to tell you that this session really touched my heart. Not only because I fell instantly in love with adorable little Makio but because his mom and dad have to be some of the sweetest, kindest, gentle spirited people out there. It’s so beautiful to see how they are head over heels for their new little addition.

I love how newborn babies at Makio’s age can still fit in the palm of their Pappa’s hands. I love how peacefully he’s sleeping, like a baby Koala in a tree . I love this shot below and made it a double page spread in his baby album.

Makio’s mom loved some of the shots she saw on my site in what she’s coined as Froggie Pose, lol! I had to get a shot of him just for her. She was absolutely delighted when we got it just right and he held in Froggie Pose for us!

Here he is a few seconds later, still an adorable shot. Just look at those chubby little cheeks!

Everyone knows by now that I love sleepy newborn poses, but shots I really, really love are those gorgeous sparkly eyed newborn shots. Take a look at those beautiful catch lights, there is no doubt about it, I love, love, love natural light when it comes to lighting my baby photography sessions!

Here’s another cute shot. I was so happy when I got these new photography props in. This little teddy bear hat was so sweet and was perfect for Makio’s skin tone. Super adorable!!

This little, fuzzy green hat was also perfect for him as well. He looks like a sleepy little elf, doesn’t he!

No newborn shoot is complete with out those tiny detail shots I love so much! These shots always look great in the album or as a large print in your home. I sooo love baby details!

I had so much fun designing Makio’s 10×14 baby album and once it arrives I’ll post the finished product on the blog. I do create an album for almost every client and Makio’s parents are so creative you’ll love the cover design they came up with. It has to be one of the best cover selections I’ve seen yet! Plus I love this session so much that I can’t wait to see what their metallic baby album looks like. I’m sure it will be dreamy!

I had a chance to use a little baby bucket during this session. I wanted to continue with the oatmeal tones as it goes so amazingly with Makio’s skin tone. What a sweet little guy he is!

Speaking of new baby photography props I was so excited to do a suspended newborn shot. I loved this new baby sling I ordered and couldn’t wait to use it. He’s such a good little sleeper, he really seemed to like this little newborn hammock!

Such a happy boy, he’s even got some dimples to go with his smile. Too cute!

It was really nice to capture a shot with mom and dad at the end of the shoot. He’s such a lucky little boy, his parents love him so much! Can’t you just feel the love they all share. You are all truly blessed and congratulations on such a happy time in your lives.

It was such an honour to photograph beautiful baby Jesse. He’s actually the newborn baby of my friend Natalie. The newborn session was the first time I had a chance to meet this sweet little guy and I was thrilled to be able to have him by the studio for his first photo shoot. Before I continue with the rest of this gorgeous little guys photos I just wanted to show you a quick before and after. Jesse is no doubt a handsome boy. Most babies that are his age experience common skin bumps, redness, baby acne or little scratches. Jesse had a few little bumps and scratches here and there, I just wanted to give you all another example of the difference retouching makes. Retouched photos are a beautiful way to remember your newborn with out any distracting elements. We have all of our images professionally retouched so you can enjoy your images for years to come, without any of the elements that can lead your eye away.

I love his cute little newborn toes, so tiny and soft

Nat loved the little teddy bear hat I have in my treasure chest of goodies. It’s so soft and fuzzy, no wonder Jesse fell fast asleep!

One thing Jesse loves is being swaddled. He was so toasty warm in his little cocoon, it was nice to see him relax and drift off to dreamland.

Thanks Nat for bringing Jesse to Toronto for his very first photo shoot. I really enjoyed having you both by for his adorable newborn session!
