Kind Words

“Tonya did a lifestyle shoot for our newborn and we could not be happier with her work!! She is very easy going and makes the environment relaxed and comfortable for everyone. We are thrilled with the photos she got of our growing family and we will be sure to use her again and again!” – Laura Gordenier

“Tonya did our newborn photos for our first born and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product! She travelled to our home in Toronto, arrived on-time and ready to go. She was energetic, personable and overall just very excited and happy to be a part of this moment with us. The photos came back in a timely manner and were easy to download. The best part was that there was no photo or time limit which really reduces stress on the day of, and worry that you will be missing out on a great photo! We would definitely chose Tonya again.” – Ashley + Derrick Tse

“Tonya is an amazing photographer with an incredible eye for detail. Her creativity comes naturally and shows through her quick camera work. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and is able to capture beautiful shots, even when your newborn isn’t being the most cooperative. I look forward to working with Tonya in the future and would recommend her to anyone.” – Carley Brook

This session is done in the comfort of your own home and will be documenting natural moments in your day to day life with the new baby. Don’t miss out on all of the fresh memories with your new baby. I will capture all of the details including the baby’s nursery and of course their teeny tiny adorable toes! With this session we are creating a story with you and your baby (and older children if you have them) that you will be able to look back on time and time again.

FAQs

When is the best time to have lifestyle newborn photos done?

Typically, I would suggest within 10 days of your baby being born. However, we all know births don’t go as planned, and sometimes the recovery for mom is quite long and painful so I usually say within the first month of your babes being born. I will leave that decision up to you based on how you’re feeling.

What does a Fresh 48 session mean?

Fresh 48 sessions are done within 48 hours of your baby being born. Typically, they are done in hospital unless you are planning on having a home birth. The photos are taken AFTER the baby has been delivered and will capture those sweet, intimate first moments and details of you and your new babe.

Do you offer a discount for booking a maternity and newborn session together?

Yes! You have the option for newborn photos to either book a Fresh 48 session (in hospital) or a lifestyle newborn session (in your home). If you book a maternity and newborn session together you will save $50 off the regular price.

Help! What should I wear?

This is by far the most commonly asked question. Make sure you are comfortable! This is SO important because if you’re not feeling comfortable in your outfit it will reflect in your confidence during your session. Try and stick to neutral colours and stay away from anything to vibrant, large graphics and/or wording and logos. Clothes that have a lot of texture and depth such as knits, denim, corduroy, patterns, etc always photograph nicely. It’s nice to coordinate outfits but remember you don’t have to completely match (a little contrast is great)! As for Fresh 48 sessions you can stay in the hospital robe or some clients like to purchase a different robe to put on for photos. Usually you’re not up and moving around to much for these sessions, so anything comfortable in bed is great. As for babes, we can do a variety of photos (some in just diaper, swaddled in a fav blanket, outfit, etc) it is entirely up to you and what your preference is.

What if my baby doesn’t cooperate?

The only thing I can say here is… DON’T WORRY! It happens more often than not! Babies are so unpredictable and especially when they’re first born there is no such thing as a schedule or even knowing how they will behave at this point. So what do we do? We embrace the chaos, the snuggles, and capture all of it. I promise I will get a couple of ‘posed’ family photos so you have as a keepsake and the rest of the time will be spent shooting candids and details of what unfolds in front of me. If your baby gets really fussy we will take a break and can do some breastfeeding photos as well if you wish. I just totally go with the flow and you can expect a super relaxed, casual session with great memories to look back on!
