Last Wedding of 2009!

My last wedding of 2009 belongs to my friend of over 20 years – Angel.  Angel and I met in the 6th grade and she was a bridesmaide in my wedding this past June.  Angel is one of those friends who you even if you don’t speak for months, you can just pick up and start right where you left off!  I am the God mother to two of her children and I was just thrilled when she got engaged and jumped all over the chance to photograph her wedding.  Angel and I have both been through the loss of our mothers due to cancer and even though they couldnt’ be at our weddings, I know they were with us…Angel, your mom would have been so proud.  You looked so beautiful.

This was one of the dresses I was looking at for my wedding this past June until I found mine   so happy to see you in it!

Their wedding took place in Niagara Falls…and we did pictures here!  Almost got to hold a snake! Would have been a fantastic shot but they said No BOO!!!

Congratulations Dan and Angel.  Thank you for letting me be a part of this day in the way that I was.  I’m so happy I got to capture it all for you! 

Youngest Baby Yet!

Meet 2 1/2 day-old Matteo!  TWO and  a HALF days new!  If your wondering how on earth we managed to pull that off…well – it’s all mom!  She booked a while ago and like I do for many people who want to book it before baby actually comes, we book for 10 days past your due date.  Then if you go early, you can call and try and get in earlier, but if you go late (and are approaching the 7-days-late mark) you can call and re-schedule.  Mom was a week overdue and JUST got home from the hospital last night! And after only 3 hours of sleep – she showed up for her appointment bright and early at 10a.m.!  Now THATS an awesome mom!  It was definately worth it – even at 2 1/2 days, this beautiful bouncing baby boy was wide eyed and ready to rock.  He was actually awake for a good part of the session -but he did amazing!!  It sooooooo pays off to come in under 10 days!  So, here he is…my youngest baby yet!  Proud big sisters who just love him to peices (and got to miss some school for the shoot!)

Just under 8 pounds for his session, he was very bendy and curly and just think that only 70 hours ago he was still in moms belly!

A little glimps into the future LOL

Could you not just kiss his big pouty lips ALL DAY!!  Oh he was just such a beautiful boy!

Just a little note to all moms thinking about coming for a newborn session.  Its important to try and get your baby in under 10 days, and though you would probably not come in as soon as 3 days…and if you want to talk to moms who made it in under the 7 day mark, I can give you references…but they will all tell you that you will be tired – more than tired – exhausted.  You will want to cancel your session, you will want to just pick up the phone to re-schedule and then go to bed…but trust me – it’s so worth it!!  You will look back at your pictures forever and always get to be reminded of just how tiny your fast-growing baby was when they were taken.  It’s worth the tiredness, and exhaustion…its worth every moment.  And when you get here, you can sit down, relax, feed, snuggle – watch the action happen.  It’s not a stressful session – it’s one that captures your memories forever…it’s worth it.  Trust me!  If you are considering a newborn session, please email me at tkinch@delicateimpressions.ca for more information and please remember that we are closed for the month of April 2010.

Wonderful Christmas Gift….

Due on December 12th…this couldnt be a better gift!  Tracy, thanks for making the trip out and being my first maternity client in the new studio!  I had a great time today and hope you did to…enjoy your sneak peak!

This little girl is so loved already and I just know she is going to be spoiled rotten!

Mom and dad…so in love.  They are both so excited to meet their baby…

Love these little collectable shoes!

This shirt makes me laugh!! I LOVE IT!!!

3 1/2 weeks

Finally got to welcome little Cameron to my studio for his first session.   A bit of a scary entrance into the world but healthy and home and sweet as can be, Cameron made it to his session at only 3 1/2 weeks old.  He was still quite tiny and able to curl up into many positions.  He did a lot of protesting when we moved him around, but he settled quickly and let us capture this wonderful time in his parents new lives

Awww so sleepy

So halloween is over and CA-BAM! In with the Christmas stuff! I love Christmas and will be putting every baby into this little outfit until January LOL!  But so cute!

Remember This little guy?

Remember little baby Cole from 7 months ago?  One of my favourite families that come to see me from Woodstock!  Cole was all of about 5 pounds when he came for his newborn session…..

Just look how big he is now! Over 20 pounds!  I love love LOVE when my babies come back!  This is Cole at 7 months old.  He is just a little hansome man now!

Oh I just adore this shot!  His big blue eyes – and Coles to (LOL!!!) seriously – love this hat!  Mom and dad got this off one of my favourite websites:  www.etsy.com

Isn’t this fire truck too cute?  One of the many props mom and dad brought to the photosession.  I love when you bring your own stuff because it definately makes your session unique.  The only thing that sucks is when the props are as awesome as this truck for example, the next mom will say “oh can we use that truck you had in that one picture I saw?”…then i pout and say “it’s not mine”   Donations of props accepted! Hee hee hee

Back in business!

It has been an absolutely CRAZY weekend!  We moved Friday, painted for the last three days and are finally getting down to unpacking into our new home    Today – my first session in the new studio and oh man I am in love!  Not only did everything run so much smoother, but I got to photograph this gorgeous 6-month-old baby girl…Piper.  What a DOLL!  Big beautiful blue eyes…and she was happy the entire session!  Got a little tired in the end but we captured some wonderful images for mom and dad!  Lets start with snowning rose peddles…

See?  I told you – big beautiful blue eyes!

This is one of the pictures that I love to do with newborns…but dad likes it so we tried it and I love it   Enjoy your sneak peak guys, thanks again for coming out and I hope your trip home was a safe one.  I’ll be in touch soon!

Jen and Greg…Engaged!

Jen…Greg…you guys are an absolute BLAST!  If you are half as fun at your wedding as you were today for your engagement session…I’m not sure I’ll be able to take pictures through the giggling all day!  Lol…you were so fun!  Thank you for choosing us to capture this time for you…and thanks for bringing Rex along too (what a beautiful, loving dog!)

Greg, I must say – great taste!  What a beautiful ring! And fiance

HOW CUTE IS THIS!!!  I just loved their dog!!  He wanted to be with his mom and dad so bad! Lol…peek-a-boo…

I admit it…I’m ADDICTED! Yes…addicted to the jump shot! I love seeing what people can do and their faces and body movements, just make me smile

I love his eyes…what a sweet dog!  Thanks again Jen and Greg for meeting up with us today for your session – what a beautiful day and the leaves were just as we had hoped.  I’ll be in touch when your gallery is up and ready.  It will be a while longer than normal because of the move this weekend…

What a WONDERFUL Wedding! A Beautiful Couple!

I booked this wedding with Chris and Nicole over a year ago and have been looking forward to it for THAT long!  12 hours coverage and super nice people = Super GREAT Time!!  Will and I started off the day photographing Chris at his house…I was so pleasantly suprised with the kindness of the group of guys we photographed.  They were all super nice and willing to do anything we wanted!  Chris, it was an absolute honour to be the photographer of your big day!  You looked so hansome!  Okay – so onto to the pictures…these first two are for Nicole (special request of their first child…he he he)

Nic…there are a couple more but just wanted to share this one for now

I think they should get some shares from Coors Light for this one!

This image just makes me giggle…here is my husband doing whatever we need to do to get “the shot”…I think we incorporated danger-pay in this one! Lol…

Nicole…you looked absolutely stunning!!  You make such a beautiful bride and the fact that you are a beautiful person to begin with, just makes you even more wonderful!  We had the best time photographing you and your family this weekend…we felt so a part of them – as they hugged us good-bye at the end of the night, we felt truly blessed to be the one’s to capture your special day!

It was such a perfect day on Saturday weather wise.  At the beginning of the week they called for rain 80% ! Then by the end of the week 30% …and Saturday – we didn’t get a drop!  The wind worked in our favour as well blowing their hair and dresses beautifully! Love the color, love it all!

Sooo happy!  Aren’t they stunning!

What a fun, outgoing wedding party! AND they were just gorgeous! Red – my favourite wedding color!

Love this shot!

Love this umbrella!  What a cute wedding gift idea!

This shot was taken by my husband and I LOVE IT!!! I love when we capture the natural laugh, the natural smile and the giggles between a new husband and wife   Chris and Nicole, thank you so much for choosing us to be the one’s to capture this day for you.  We had an absolute blast and what was work for us – did NOT feel like it!  We had so much fun and enjoyed the day as if we were a part of the wedding party!  Thank you for including us in dinner (it was FA-BU-LOUS!!)  We hope you enjoy your honeymoon and we will be in touch as soon as your pictures are ready!

10 Days New and determined!

This hansome little fellow came all the way from Waterloo today for his photography debute…and as the sore loser that I am  – I was defeated! *sniffle, sniffle.  This little guy is 10 days, bottle fed, and uses a soother (the 3 KEY ingredients to a GREAT photography session!)…and, well…lets just say that today – those ingredients did NOT work!  For 3 hours, this little guy faught us all the way! 

Dad even tried walking him around in his car seat while we all tried sounding like cars (okay just kidding about the sound part)…but tried to trick him into thinking he was in a car…and then:

BOOM! WIDE AWAKE!

..and just when we thought we had it…floppy arms…eyes rolling back sleepy…no response to touching his toes…good and SLEEPY…but then…BOOM:

TRICKED YOU!

Amy and Steve, thanks for making the trip out here to see me.  I must say – you have the most determined newborn that I have personally ever worked with!  He is adorable!  We got some GREAT shots though, and I will be sure to touch base as soon as I get your gallery together!

5 Days New {Hamilton Newborn Photographer}

At only 5 days old, this little girl came for her first photosession.  She gave us a bit of a challenge trying to get her to stay asleep, but we got the shots and it worked out perfectly!  Thanks mom for getting her in at such an early age!

She isn’t actually sleeping here…but it looks like it!

Little’s “C” is definately loved by her big brother…(he’s only 2) but look how good of care he takes of her…holding her just right and not moving while she got comfy!
