I couldn’t be more excited to share these photos with you – Erica and Derek are some of my favourite clients – from engagement to wedding, and now maternity (and soon newborn!)  What a lucky photographer I am!  Erica runs Simply Vintage Love (http://simply-vintage-love.blogspot.ca) so she always has lots of fun props to share.  When she said “I was thinking about going to Gaspereau Valley Fibres for some of the photos,” I did a little happy dance. Wool, sheep, chickens, babies… love.

Oh, Baby Effie.  I think it is impossible to spend time with baby Effie, and not fall in love with her a little bit.  I bet by the end of this post, you will be in love with her a little bit, too!    Look at these photos, all curled up like an egg, or making a little heart with her two tiny hands, and those tiny toes, and you know I could go on.  Or, just look at the way her family looks at her.  One of the things that I love about newborn sessions is that they always take me back a little bit, to when my own two were so small.  Now, don’t get me wrong, every baby is different, and every baby has a mind of their own (don’t let anyone tell you different!) but there is also something universal about a newborn baby.  Something wonderful.  Something that makes you want to stop doing anything else, and just look.
