Maybe it's my kids and the fact that they are never bothered when I pull out the Holga, but if I pull out the *fancy* cameras they start in on the whining right away! So I stick to Holga and everyone is happy.

Family Snapshots
Have I ever mentioned how much I love to use the Holga for my family snapshots? I do.

Sweet little baby girl. - St. John's baby photographer -
I am making a pact with my scanner to not neglect it so much!
A recent session. A sweet little 4 month old girl with her family. Babies of this age can be tricky as they are not young enough to tolerate being physically manipulated like a newborn . . . but they are too old to sit up and such on their own. This session was a family session so luckily we had the best props of all . . . mom and dad!
Serious
Not so serious!
Baby in the middle.
Their great dog. I loved him. I considered trading in a cat or a camera to get my own greyhound. So beautiful and gentle.
Solo.

End of The Belly Event
Just wanted to remind that the Belly Event has now ended. I look forward to photographing the pregnant ladies who booked and meeting your new babes! I still have not found an outfit like MIA's, but never say never. ;)

The Belly Event!! - Maternity Photographer St John's, Newfoundland
So a couple of weeks ago I was watching the Grammy awards. On comes M.I.A. . . . she was 9 months pregnant (due that day!) and she ROCKED IT!! I wanted the other hip hoppers preforming with her to get off the stage (and not just because I am not a hip hop fan!). She absolutely stole the show. The Grammy folks have removed all the videos on the Internet of the performance . . . but here is a photo:

She was so awesome to me that it made me really want to shoot more maternity. Maybe even in that outfit (if I could find something like that). Also in regular outfits. All sorts of outfits!
So in honor of M.I.A. I am partnering with CooChiCoo to offer:
The Belly Event!!
Book a Newborn session and get a complimentary Maternity session. Look for this card at CooChiCoo:
The fine print:
- Special will be honored with presentation of receipt from CooChiCoo AND payment of Newborn session.
- Newborn session includes babies from birth until 6 weeks old.
- Newborn sessions are booked in pencil. Dates are kept open to accommodate those babies that arrive earlier than expected and those babies that arrive later than expected. It is clients responsibility to contact me to re-schedule the appointment. Only one re-schedule is permitted.
- Both Maternity and Newborn session will be proofed together approximately one week after completion of the Newborn session.
- Regular print prices apply.

Hugs and Noogies. - Family photograper St. John's, Newfoundland
Sometimes it's nice to shoot some older kids. Don't get me wrong, I love babies to pieces, but they rarely listen. ;) These boys were repeat clients, which made the whole thing all the better! I loved their photos with their cousins from a couple of years ago and I love these new family photos. Family photos can be a trick: getting everyone on the same page and in the same vibe. Thankfully in this case Dad was a cracker! That helps. A lot. Makes a fun afternoon. :D
First up, a reminder of the cousins shot from a few years ago. This shot has some significance to me in that it was the first time I ever trusted myself to go Holga on a group like this. I had some safe shots with a fancy camera . . but this one was *the one* and a nice big copy of it was gifted to Grandma that year for Xmas. It was a hit. Holga power!
Here they are now . . . with Mom and Dad instead of cousins! A fairly traditional family shot.
With the family dog in a less traditional family shot.
A fairly traditional brothers shot using the Holga.
A less traditional brothers shot using the power of the noogie. If this doesn't scream BROTHERS and/or BOYS . . . well I give up. :P

Cutie - Baby photograper St. John's, Newfoundland
Isn't she cute? I love this age: old enough to sit up and respond to my songs and rhymes but too young to run away!
Strawberry tongue
How can you resist that face!
This smile was Mom's favorite. :)
