Toronto baby photographer - Something a little different

Recently at a portrait party I got the opportunity to photograph a different kind of subject. It's not my typical newborn baby portrait but still super cute. For those of you who don't know me I do love silly pictures. Of course I strive to capture beautiful images of your family but I love the silly pictures of you and your children as well. When I was asked to photograph a little girl and her pet I was happy to do it. Then I got the idea to pose the little one similarly to how I would pose a newborn. I think the image is fabulous and of course a little silly.

York Region Baby Photography - York Central Hospital

So if you happen to be having a baby at York Central hospital in Richmond Hill you will get to see some of my work hanging in their new labour and delivery ward. Near the nurses station in the hallway is a large 40x20 canvas pictured below. There are also images in some of the delivery rooms. I will be adding more images over time.

If you are having your baby at York Central Hospital in Richmond Hill than Eye Am Photography is happy to offer you a complimentary 5x7 when you book your newborn session.

Toronto baby photographer - My new website

So I am completely excited to share with everyone my new website. This has been a long time in the making. Words cannot describe how happy I am.

Please check it out. www.eyeamphotography.com Turn on your speakers because I have some amazing music by some very talented artists on my new site. Also, it is best to view it in full screen to get the full effect.

If you see yourself or anyone in your family on the website, please email me and I would be happy to provide you with a web sized digital file of the image.

And of course I have to include a picture because what fun is a blog post without a picture.

Toronto newborn photographer - My new logo

I am so excited to show everyone my new logo. I just adore it and hope that everyone else loves it too. It is unique and colourful. I love colour. Don't get me wrong I love my black and whites too but there is something for bright beautiful colours that make me so happy.

Also, I'm playing around with trying to post larger images so please humour me as I may be trying some new things for the next few posts.



And these are my new stamps. I'm using them for my round stickers. Super cute!

Toronto maternity photographer - Simply Stunning

When this gorgeous woman told me she didn't really want any pictures of just herself I was so surprised and practically begged her to let me take a few pictures. Between her husband and myself we managed to convince her to let me take a few pictures of her to capture her stunning pregnant figure.

All kidding aside, I always tell people that it is better to let me take the pictures than not to. You can always choose not to buy an image but sometimes I cannot go back and take a picture at a later date. With pregnancy and newborn sessions usually there is not the opportunity to go back and recapture images.

And of course I'm showing an image of the family which is part of what "J" originally wanted when she set up her portrait session.

Toronto baby photographer - Beautiful eyes

This sweet little baby was only a few weeks old but he gave me the most intense eye contact. He was so interested in everything that was going on and didn't want to go to sleep in case he missed out on anything. In the end though, he finally gave in and went to sleep.

Toronto family photographer - Sisters

These girls are so gorgeous. Their entire family is absolutely gorgeous. I had the pleasure of photographing this family as part of the baby plan. The first session I photographed mainly their little sister but during this session I got to meet these twin girls. A baby plan is a great way to capture your baby's first year. You can also use the sessions to capture some family images as well. Here are some images from the 6 month session of this family's baby plan.

Toronto twin newborn photographer - Double the Fun

I just adore photographing twins. It is simply the cutest thing the way they cuddle up to each other. These little girls were so sweet and beautiful.

Toronto family photographer - The Beaches

I've been meaning to get down to the Toronto beaches to photograph for years and really don't know why I haven't been there before now. I had the pleasure of photographing this fun family. We had such a great time and I think their images really showcase what a happy family they are.

First Birthday Cake Smash - Toronto Baby Photographer

What a fun session I had with sweet little "A". I have been photographing her since she was a newborn. She just couldn't get enough of the cake. Such a gorgeous delicious cake and too bad it ended up in a big smooshy mess.

The cakes are made by Simply Smashing Cakes and are available in custom colours and designs.

Cake smash sessions are available on their own or as part of the Baby Plan.

Please contact the studio at 905-882-1459 for more details.

Toronto teen photographer - Contest winner image

"K" was super sweet to photograph and came with an enormous amount of scarves and hats. We had a great time so I wanted to share one of the images from our session.

I absolutely love photographing teenagers. Our neighbours to the south of us have a great ritual of photographing teens during their final year of high school. Not your typical yearbook photo but a full photo session dedicated just to your teen. Eye Am Photography also photographs teenagers as well as children of all ages. If you are interested in booking a session, please call the studio at 905-882-1459. Sessions are available around the GTA or in the studio. As well if your home is in Toronto or the surrounding areas you could have the session in your home.

Gift Certificate Sale - Toronto family photographer

As everyone is well aware the new HST is coming. What this means for customers of Eye Am Photography is that as of July 1st you will now be paying 13% tax instead of 8%. I am offering that anyone who would like to purchase a gift certificate now may do so and only pay the PST. Gift certificates can be used for you own session or given to someone as a gift.
The minimum denomination of gift certificates is $500 plus pst. This accounts for the $250 session fee as well as the $250 minimum print purchase.

Contest Winner - Toronto Children's Photographer

It has been a while since I posted about a Fresh Faces contest. Shortly after posting the contest things got super busy and I have been too busy to even contemplate scheduling in a winner. As well there were so many beautiful children that I found it hard to choose a winner. In the end I couldn't choose and had my children pick names out of a hat. Since I have two children we have two winners. Those winners are being contacted by email. Once I have done their sessions, I will post their pics.

Thanks to everyone who entered.

I also wanted to remind everyone about the International Charity Model Search for the Cutest Family.

February is currently booked however I do have a couple of spots left in March.

And what would a post be without a picture. I love this image. It reminds me of my own two children.

Portrait party sessions - Toronto family photographer

Before the holidays I decided to try something new and blogged about Portrait Parties. I am thrilled to let everyone know that portrait parties were a success. I thought I would share some of the beautiful families and children that I had the pleasure to photograph.

Beautiful family - Toronto family photographer

I absolutely fell in love with this image and of course had to share. I'm looking forward to our next session. Little baby "O" and I share the same birthday so I feel a special connection to her.

Newborn Cutie - Toronto Newborn Photographer

It's been so long since I've posted anything. What a busy end of year 2009 ended up being. I am just finally getting caught up. I have a fabulous contest that I am taking part in that I will be announcing in the next few days. And yes, I'll finally be announcing the winner of the last contest.

As well, I will be posting some images from some of the sessions that I've been so busy with.
