Not the most glamorous title for a blog post ( let alone a blog post with precious newborn photos) but when it comes to photographing babies

sometimes we have to go through this…

in order to get something like this…

and it is totally worth it, don’t you agree?

I always tell my clients before hand that getting soiled on is okay and it happens all the time, still I always get that surprise look from new dads & moms when baby relieves him/herself on my backdrops/props… and most often than not the parents are the backdrops

I am pretty sure all of my photographer friends out there have a similar story to share… go ahead, share with us!

All the hard work is *totally* worthwhile when we get to capture these moments…

she was sooooo good to me. precious little girl.

Sweet little girl, what are you going to be when you grow up?

a doctor like mommy or an engineer like daddy?

Whatever profession you choose, I am sure you will embrace it with love:

you are an amazingly gifted little girl, wonderfully made, and you’ll work amazingly hard to do amazing things.

(crib made with love by grandpa… brought all the way to Vancouver from Calgary)

Yes, my darling… you were wonderfully made. And you are wonderfully loved.

Tiny little thing, pretty little girl. Perfect in every single detail.

[per . fec . tion]

flawless, as good as it gets, a true blessing

And just a quick note:

Belle Meinerz Photography will be closed for a few days next week to rejuvenate the creative juices and I am looking forward to being 150% mother for a few days… I’ll have limited access to emails and will be answering email/voicemail as soon as I can. Please bear with me as I take this much needed time off. In the meantime, some maintenance will be done on my site/blog so if you were thinking of placing a print order/booking a session please contact me as soon as possible!

We are currently completely booked for August and (gasp!) October. We have 5 (yes, FIVE) spots left for 2010. Hurry if you want in the fun!

A + K, Part I | Vancouver, BC Wedding Photography

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 23:06:17 +0000

I don’t usually do weddings, but that was a special one. Bride’s mother was my kids’ teacher. She phoned me one morning asking if I’d do her daughter’s wedding. Her daughter really wanted me to document her special day. How could I have possibly said “no”? She is such an amazing teacher, and a fantastic person all around (always happy and smiling and just… well, happy)… my kids love her… so do we… So we set up a meeting, the three of us (bride, momma and me). I instantly fell in love with the bride. She’s sweet, humble, very down to earth and as lovely as her momma. And simply gorgeous. Right there and then I knew it would be great to work with them. I wasn’t wrong. K and A were a delight to work with.They made everything so easy for me, and it doesn’t hurt that both are *very* good looking. Beautiful couple, inside and out.

We (they!) lucked out with a gorgeous, gorgeous day, a light breeze and the perfect light.

I just *love*, love, love the images we got! Check for yourself:

(I think these are my favorite!)

love is love is LOVE

Don’t you just love the images?

There are tons more to share, part II (and III) coming soon! Stay tuned!!

Thank you A + K for trusting me with your memories. It’s truly an honour. Hope you love the images as much as I do!

On a side note, we’ll be closed for a few days (announcement coming soon), so if you were thinking of booking a session, contact me asap to avoid disappointment. August is fully booked and there’s just one spot left for October. Now, off to take my kiddos to see the fires tonite. You coming?

P.S. Also, a big shout out to my assistant/second photographer Ana… thank you sweetie for all the help! I couldn’t have done it without you.

Baby, it’s nice outside! | Vancouver, BC Newborn Photography

Ladies and gentlemen,

please join me in welcoming another Belle Meinerz Photography sweet baby, an a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e baby boy! Squeefully adorable!

At day 7, this little guy was a perfect little model, the ultimate in cuteness!

It was such a beautiful day (don’t you just love summer?) and parents live in such a beautiful place, I was glad we could take him outside for a few shots!

He slept like a pro and was so good to me!

Don’t I meet the prettiest babies in town? And the happiest ones too!!

Precious little man… I guess he was happy to be outside

Can’t get enough of him? me neither! I tried to take him home but mom wouldn’t let me… good thing I’ll be documenting his first year, so I’ll get to see him again soon!

(don’t I have THE best job ever?)

oh and I *love* his name… love it! he is sure destined to great things!!

Thank you mom and dad for having me over and allowing me to capture such precious moments of your son’s first days… it’s truly an honour.

Hope to come back soon with more images, lots of great ones from this session!! Keep checking back!

Oh, and did belly button fall off that day?
