This is... hands down.... the most beautiful image I have ever taken.

The Story Behind This Session

This amazing session was this beautiful mom’s idea.  I love when clients push me out of the box!!

This session was rescheduled 4 times because of weather!  What a wet summer we had.  It was totally worth the wait.  From the beautiful fresh floral crowns to the epic light, this session will always be one of my favourites and one that I feel very proud of.

I am a STRONG supporter of breastfeeding and this session filled my heart and soul.

I love her little bum in this image <3

Session by: Azure Photography

I am a professional newborn photographer in Guelph, ON. I mainly focus on newborns but also enjoy photographing maternity, sitters and cake smash sessions!
I have had a camera in my hand since I was 18 years old. I learned a lot about exposure and colour working the lab at Black’s Photography in my home town and locally in Guelph.
Photographing newborns and babies and anything connected to those is my passion.

Session Spotlight: Mademoiselle Madeline – Northern VA newborn photography session

Session Spotlight: Mademoiselle Madeline – Northern VA newborn photography session

Feb 10, 2020 | Educational Resources (members only), Latest Trends, Session Spotlight

I always love a session where I can try something new! Baby girl Madeline’s middle name is Iris, which was also her grandmother’s name. Madeline’s mom reached out to me prior to the session and asked if we could incorporate her husband’s back tattoo of an iris into a portrait with Madeline. After some research, I chose the pose that I thought would show off both the baby and the tattoo well. Dad was actually surprised to find out when they arrived that he would be doing a shirtless photo for this session, but he was a good sport.

It took longer than expected to pose Iris on his shoulder and his muscles are so big (LOL) that his hand could just barely reach her, but mom held his arm up at the elbow while we got her in position and then she spotted only a few inches away while we took the photos. I’m excited how it turned out!

Session Spotlight: Fall newborn

The story behind this session…

I adore fall and have been waiting to use this beautiful colour for about a year, as most Mom’s want standard pink and purple for a girl. I cut a wrap from my drop and made a tie back using some beads and faux leafs! The hair on this little angel!

This dreamy little baby had such beautiful hair and skin tone love these colours for her!

This little turkey only let me do one bean bag pose before opening those giant beautiful eyes!

Such bright eyes! She woke up and looked right up my camera.

I couldn't help but laugh when she gave me this little smirk.

Lashes for days! I couldn't get over these lashes so long.

I was trying to tuck in her little hands but she just loved her little face and so did I so inlet her.

Another wrap I made my self 100% completed my vision for toned down pinks perfect for fall!

Every mom loves a facial shot!

We all love headbands and bonnets but I like to do a shot with neither for the parents.

I've never been one for mustard but I am 100% loving it for this session!

Hi there!

​

I am so glad you’re here! My love for taking photos goes way back for me and I am thrilled to share this experience with you! I love taking a precious moment and telling YOUR story through my photos.

​

So who is this girl behind the camera, anyway? Here are some fun facts about me!

​

I love coffee, well, pretty much anything caffeinated! You’ll almost always see me with a hot cup of coffee or even better yet, a yummy latte!

Before I was a photographer, I was an Aesthetician, and before that, I was a Gymnast. Gymnastics was a better outlet for my creative side than working at the spa was, but photography is much easier on my body!

I’m a wife, and mama of a beautiful little boy, probably my life’s greatest achievement.

On any given weekend it wouldn’t be unusual to find me running around trying to balance sessions while simultaneously being a wife and mom and continuing the balancing act of doing laundry and much needed chores.

I wish I liked cleaning but I don’t, so I married a Realtor that is pretty good with staging a home so I let him organize how that works.

A few years ago I was just a mom with a camera. Now I have a thriving business AND I have the opportunity to watch amazing families and grow!

Lastly, if I could have any job in the world, it would be THIS one right here. ❤️

​

​

YOUR MOMENTS MATTER. You’ll never get today back, so don’t put it off any longer! I’d love for you to contact me with any questions you may have, and let’s book your next photo session!

I can’t wait to meet you!
