			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting beautiful baby Gia, the newest addition to my friend Liz&#8217;s beautiful family!  I have known Liz for several years and had actually built a lot of my portfolio in the early years with photos from her family events including her bridal shower and wedding!  (I was not the photographer but I did take many beautiful portfolio worthy shots of her day!)  Liz, Stefano and their 2 gorgeous labs, Gypsy and Mocha, welcomed baby to the family Gia 4 weeks ago and I was thrilled to be invited into their stunning home to photograph Gia.  I absolutely love how their photos turned out! As you will see, they are one genetically blessed group!  Especially those pooches! <img src='http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   Enjoy!  Isn&#8217;t she precious!?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello friends!  I can&#8217;t believe how long it&#8217;s been since my last posting! Between a family vacay to NYC (stay tuned!), a trip to my hometown to spend some time with family and a little one to care for, blogging has clearly taken a backseat, understandably! However, I have some time now and am excited to share this session with you!  You may remember Kevin and Natalie, who hired me to do their maternity photos for their first child, Cameron (excuse the old watermark!)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/blue3-copy2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1099" title="blue3 copy2" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/blue3-copy2.jpg" alt="" width="906" /></a></p>
<p>They then had me take some pics of their beautiful baby boy, Cameron</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/big-comfy-chair1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1101" title="big comfy chair1" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/big-comfy-chair1.jpg" alt="" width="906" height="598" /></a></p>
<p>Well, since that time, Kevin and Nat have introduced another member to their beautiful family, Adam Michael. Adam was born prematurely and my goodness, was he ever tiny!  As for Cameron, he&#8217;s not so little anymore!  They grow so incredibly fast!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/family6BW.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1102" title="family6BW" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/family6BW.jpg" alt="" width="906" height="656" /></a></p>
<p>I had an absolute blast spending some time with them in their beautiful new home and as always, they emulate nothing but happiness and love for each other and for their beautiful boys!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Adam7.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1103" title="Adam7" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Adam7.jpg" alt="" width="906" height="673" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Adam11.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1104" title="Adam11" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Adam11.jpg" alt="" width="906" height="606" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>I wanted to share some pics with you from a recent session with a beautiful little girl named Jocelynne and her mom, Heather.   Miss Jocelynne is quite a mover and a shaker! She definitely kept me on her toes!!  Even though we couldn&#8217;t go outside to play, due to a blustery snow storm, we made the best of the space we had and I spent a good few hours following a toddler around (a glimpse of things to come&#8211;a great way to keep in shape, that&#8217;s for sure!) and trying to capture her essence.  She read us a story, played in her crib, coloured and had some snuggles for mom!  Getting a toddler to &#8220;smile!&#8221; is no easy task and while there are few shots of her looking directly at me, (she was having none of that!!  I bet Lauren will rebel against the machine too! haha!) you&#8217;ll see that we still managed to capture some tender moments.  Enjoy!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve chosen mostly black and white images for this post because I think they look better than the colour versions, but that&#8217;s just me!  I&#8217;ll start with two personal faves!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1085" title="J14BW" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J14BW1.jpg" alt="J14BW" width="906" height="692" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1069" title="J13BW" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J13BW.jpg" alt="J13BW" width="906" height="611" /></p>
<p>She likes mommy&#8217;s hair ♥</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1086" title="J15 copy" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J15-copy1.jpg" alt="J15 copy" width="906" height="667" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1087" title="J12BW" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J12BW1.jpg" alt="J12BW" width="906" height="606" /></p>
<p>Trying to get away!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1072" title="J17" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J17.jpg" alt="J17" width="906" height="725" /></p>
<p>Showing me her crayons!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1073" title="J18" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J18.jpg" alt="J18" width="906" height="581" /></p>
<p>Storytime!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1078" title="reading" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/reading1.jpg" alt="reading" width="906" height="606" /></p>
<p>Peek-a-boo!  I see you!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1074" title="J26BW" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J26BW.jpg" alt="J26BW" width="906" height="606" /></p>
<p>Adoable and bright smile! (and gorgeous, shiny blond hair!!)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1075" title="J28BW" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J28BW.jpg" alt="J28BW" width="906" height="662" /></p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t sure how this would turn out because there was actually a fan in the background that just didn&#8217;t look good in the picture!  Since there was really no posing or placing of any kind (ok, except for storytime haha!) I had to be ready to catch cute moments when and where they happened!  I was hoping I could rescue this shot and am pleased with the result! I just thought it was too cute not to use!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1079" title="J8 crop and blur" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J8-crop-and-blur.jpg" alt="J8 crop and blur" width="906" height="725" /></p>
<p>By the end of the session, she had had enough <img src='http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1080" title="J1 BW" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/J1-BW.jpg" alt="J1 BW" width="906" height="660" /></p>
<p>Thanks for having a look!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone!!</p>
<p>I realize that it&#8217;s been over a month since I last posted&#8211;shame on me, I know!! However, I&#8217;m back today after having shot the most beautiful and fun family!  I got so excited to start editing the photos that I thought, I&#8217;ll just start with a few, maybe 5&#8211;3 hrs later&#8230;by no means done, but I went though and could pick out which ones I thought would be the best of the bunch and this is what I&#8217;ve come up with so far!  This family was truly a blast to work with.  They simply were wonderful to work with and as you&#8217;ll see from the photos, they are all gorgeous!  The girls are 6 and 8 (Katarina and Isabella) and the baby, Adriana, is 5 months old! These girls were absolutely adorable and a dream to shoot because they were pure naturals in front of the camera! Even Adriana, who was a little fussy at times, was a great model! Once we put her in the basket (and took her out of her cute red dress) she was completely contented!!  The best part about today&#8217;s session was that the whole family was game for anything!  The little ones had a bubble bath, monkeyed around like silly sisters in their bedrooms and had an all around good time, which is reflected in the photos! Not to mention, Bella and Kata, as they go by were fabulous with little Adriana! They took such good care of her, held her closely in the photos and helped to make her smile and laugh when the tears came on!</p>
<p>Overall a fabulous shoot with even more fabulous results!  Thank you Musca family for welcoming me into your home to capture the true essence of your family!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-caption-dt">Well actually, it was a little cat named Princess!! Before the holidays, I had the pleasure of spending some time with Mary, her parents, and pretty Princess.</p>
<p class="wp-caption-dt">As Mary is quite young, it was somewhat challenging to get her to look at the camera, let alone pose for a photo.  Candids are the best shots in my opinion anyways, so capturing children in their element is what I always try to do and in some cases, it&#8217;s really all you can do to get the best shots possible!  We did manage to get a few cute family shots though!  We usually had her attention when Princess was around.  I had to say a few times &#8220;Princess is up here&#8221; to get Mary to look at me&#8211;that trick didn&#8217;t last long! She caught on pretty quickly!  Here are some of my favourite shots from their session!!!</p>
<p>A Kiss for Princess!!  (I think Princess might be wondering why she&#8217;s got him by the neck! haha!)</p>
<p><img title="a kiss for princess" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/a-kiss-for-princess.jpg" alt="A Kiss for Princess!" width="906" height="673" /></p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-421" title="giggles" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/giggles.jpg" alt="giggles" width="906" height="606" /></p>
<p>I thought this was really sweet! Nothing more adorable than children playing!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-422" title="pull toy" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pull-toy.jpg" alt="pull toy" width="906" height="606" /></p>

<p>And finally&#8230;all smiles!  She&#8217;s looking at the camera AND beaming!!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-426" title="all 3 smiles copy" src="http://www.amysymes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/all-3-smiles-copy.jpg" alt="all 3 smiles copy" width="906" height="660" /></p>
<p>Thanks for taking a peak!</p>
