So many people ask me what I like photographing the most: it changes all the time, and depends on the people, the location, the mood, the weather. There’s some strange alchemy that happens, and every session is different, every session is wonderful in its own way. 

One constant for me though is children’s photography. It never fails to give me joy. I think it’s because children are so joyful, natural and uninhibited that it reminds me of what life is all about. The people in your life are important. Spend time with them. Take pictures with them. Relish the moments, and cherish the memories. 

I had so much fun at this family portrait session. The kids were a riot, and the baby was adorably angelic. It made for some wonderful moments and memorable portraits. Here are some of my favourite photographs from this in-home newborn and family portrait session in Mississauga. 

Sometimes, Hindu weddings can be serious affairs. There are so many traditions and ceremonies to honour. It’s part of their beauty, but it can also make for a whole lot of serious faces. 

What I loved about Aneka and Dineash’s Hindu ceremony were all the lovely smiling faces and laughter. It didn’t hurt that they had a hilarious priest who could crack jokes and liven up the ceremony too. 

Editing these photos and selecting them for this blog post was such a pleasure. Happy photos and happy people are infectious. It’s probably why I am so drawn to taking photographs of people in moments of joy.

Here are some of my favourite images from their wedding day.

There’s something so unreal and wonderful about the first days of a baby’s life: the newness of it, the long nights, the creation of a bond with a tiny human being who looks to you for everything. 

It’s what I love most about newborn photography: capturing those early, fleeting, magical moments. 

And it’s why I love in-home newborn sessions so much. The nostalgia and memories that those early photos evoke years down the road are priceless. It’s a historical record; it’s art; it’s memories of family; it’s impressions of love. 

I have a special affection for this wee one since she’s family and already so precocious, even at 15 days old. Her eye contact in some of these images is piercingly beautiful. 

Cece couldn’t ask for more loving parents than Alex and Mauro. They make a beautiful family.
