Dark silky hair. Creamy soft skin. Contented cuddles, smitten parents, a whole new world for the three of them.

This my friends, is why we love to photograph newborns. This kind of session, the connection that we witness and get to document. How is this our job?! How is this real life? Not everyone gets to pursue their dream jobs, but it’s sessions like this that reminds us why we love to photograph people.

These three are such a team. They’re such a strong unit already. Mom and dad have been together since school, traveled the world together. They’ve taken on so many challenges, and we’ve known them through just a fraction of them. I met Melissa working at Boston Pizza, they were our neighbours for a short time, and they’re the kind of friends we always come back to and always love to see.

Gorgeous Miss Rowen, you are already so loved. So admired. So unconditionally accepted. It’s an honour to have met you, and I can’t wait to watch you grow.
