I was super excited when Alysha emailed to see about joining the Watch Me Grow program.  I clearly remember these two when they were dating in highschool, and I was privilege to capture both their engagement and wedding photos so now to be able to watch them as they embark on they journey into parenthood is really fun.   They are both such wonderful and kind people that I know they will make awesome parents!  Alysha has always been a bit nervous infront of the camera, but I think her nerves were completely unfounded as she looks just fabulous!

The last shot is for her little sister who has entrusted Alysha with her extensive collection of high heels while she is travelling and working in Europe.  Alysha & Brandon I wish you all the best for a safe and speedy delivery and I can’t wait to meet Baby O when he/she decides to make an appearance!!  Good luck!!

I couldn’t resist posting these today!  My niece & nephew were here this morning and they are too cute not to share with all of you right away!  Love these little munchkins!  Let me start with Basil…. at 9 months old he is so darn squishable!

I couldn’t resist taking the next one!!  For the first few months he was alive he was known only as “Basilbear”

The next photo is for his Dad & mine … two of the biggest Hab’s fans around!!

And now onto Miss Gloria.  Sweet as a button and definitely on the shy side.  After almost 3 years she’s sort of warmed up to me… she still won’t go anywhere near her uncle Chris…. but Aunt Sandra always has cookies and milk for her   Here she is with her favourite “Pink Baby” – that’s her name…. not overly creative, but accurate.

Never a dull moment with this girl around…. squirmy is an understatement.  I asked her at one point if she had ants in her pants…. she answered “No, my bums just slippery.” – too cute!

And here are a couple of both of them… not an easy task my friends!!

Thanks Loretta for bringing them out!  It was great fun to chat and chase your babies!!  Big Hugs to all of you!  Love Aunt Sandra

I’m certain that Alicia and Trevor agree that this little sweet heart was well worth waiting the extra 11 days for!  Derk was just 9 days old when he came to the studio for his first photo shoot.    Usually babies that are less than 10 days old are pretty sleepy….. but I think someone forgot to tell Derk as sleeping was really not on his agenda.  I think we did get some lovely photos of him.  Such a tiny little man.

Alicia was a week overdue when she called to see about a maternity session.  I was so excited and spent the next two days praying she wouldn’t go into labour before our session.  Thank goodness she arrived at my door a full nine days overdue and ready for some photos.   Two days later they welcomed Derk into their family.  I can’t wait to meet their lovely little son a little later this morning!   I must say her positive outlook and patience really impressed me.  I was overdue with 4 out of my 5 pregnancies, and I hardly think I was nearly as content as a Alicia… in fact I was probably what one would call a little grumpy.  Congrats Alicia & Trevor!!

I was excited to have Cole and his mom and dad come in for some baby photos.  It almost broke my heart to wake him up from such a peaceful nap, but unfortunately his schedule and the rest of ours were not in sync.  Thank goodness he woke up happy.

It was great to meet little Sophie and take some photos of her.  I grew up with her Dad and shared lots of highschool classes with her Mom so it was really neat to see their little girl.  Sophie was a great sport and for the record has quite a vocabulary for only being 2!  Here are two of my favourites from her session.  I can’t wait to meet her baby brother or sister this spring!
