Oh wow. When I saw this little guy I was drooling. His little limbs are awesome! He was very very serious during our shoot but not for lack of mom trying to get him smiling. Such a handsome little man!

Photography: Little Mr. L & Love Apple
Ok, I LOVE Apple. I love everything they sell and I proudly had my first iPod delivered to a coworker in the US and dragged over the border by another. I was all proud to be the first of my friends to own this special device. I've just found another reason to love Apple. I was having a slow home button issue with my iPhone and took it in the other day to have it looked at by the Genius bar at the Apple store. No questions asked, it was replaced within minutes. I also had mobile me so all my settings/contacts, etc were stored and my new phone looks exactly as the old one, but works a little better. As a consumer, I can't say enough good things about a company that stands behind its product. I no longer mourn the loss of BBM. I don't look back.
On to mini-shoot pictures...this was the second 2 year old of the day. They are such a funny bunch, so curious and so deliciously cute. This little guy had the best time playing with bubbles and was very curious about what was behind the door. I had a lovely time getting to know Mr. L and his mom!

Style tip: Layer, layer, layer & Family K!!
So...big question that usually gets asked...and I've asked it myself. What should we wear to the photos? Layers!!! I love the look of layers, it just adds that extra bit of dimension and interest to pictures. Don't follow convention, wear something that reflects you and your personality. If you are lost...find a mannequin and buy what they are wearing! Here are some of my favourite shops...to browse and to buy! Some have a section on their site that gives you ideas for outfits. Also..if you are a mom like me with an ever-changed body shape..add a fitted jacket. Makes your outfit complete, polished and hides some lumps.

Here's the first family from my mini sessions! This sweet little boy I met when he was about 6 months old for the first time. We were busy blowing bubbles in the water and learning to dunk heads. Since then he has grown into a busy little toddler! His Mom and Dad are expecting a new addition anytime now so I got the opportunity to photograph them at a very special time in their life. I wish you all the best Family K!

Business: I have taken a leap
Well, this blog may be changing in the next while as I get things up and running for my next adventure. After pondering and talking and being quite unsure for a while I have decided to take my photography hobby to the next level.....eeeks!!! Foraying into an unknown territory here...and doesn't everyone already know at least 5 or 6 mom turned photographers?
My background is in business, I finished my degree while working a full time job (dumb!) and enjoyed my time in the corporate world. I liked working but ended up not going back to work after my maternity leave. What a hard decision!!! Since then I've toyed with the idea of going back here and there but really my passion lies in something more creative than a desk job. So here I go! I think I have a good base to start with, having some education done in photography and have been working with my camera seriously for the last year, building a portfolio, mostly with kids, babies and different lighting. I have always loved taking pictures and since my little guy came into the picture I have a pretty cute subject (if i do say so myself). I love styling and layering, using different textures and I take each photo shoot seriously!
I've set a goal to be all set up by the fall, so have gotten things rolling this last week. Got a name approved - Little Chic Photography Co. - by BC business registry, sorted out my logo and got things started with a website. I'm all over Facebook so set up a local business page there too. I have a few free mini shoots coming up this week that I'm pretty excited about! I can't wait to meet some new moms and I am pretty sure they will like what I can do. After all...who doesn't love a picture of their kid? I know I eat em up.
I'm working on finding my niche, and sorting out how I want to run things but for now, I am looking forward to meeting some new people and bringing the joy that a great picture of a loved one brings to a mom, or dad or grandma...and on and on. I can't tell you how awesome it is to see a little piece of my work hanging on someone's wall. I look at the pictures I had done of my little guy up on my wall every day and I honestly don't think the photog's that did the work even really know how much it was appreciated.
Here's my new logo! I am ecstatic with how it turned out.

completely unrelated...but here is one of my favourite point and shoot pics of my boy and one of his best girls. I LOVE how their heads look pasted on their bodies. How ridiculous are babies?
