This past Friday I headed to my daughter’s daycare in Ajax to photograph her and her tiny friends.  It was an uber fun, fast paced and crazy day.  I have to say that “N” the beloved owner of our cherished home daycare (Merry Tots Daycare) is another “she-ro” of mine….. she manages to keep these little ones engaged and happy with the most creative activities and her beautiful spirit, it is truly amazing to watch.

I normally work with no more than two children at a time and they are usually sleeping babies.  So you can imagine  my initiation into the world of 5 little ones, 19mths-2yrs old!

Here is just a quick sample.  More to be added to my portfolio in the next 2 weeks.

Natural beauty what is it really?  To me it is the ability to capture a real moment, raw and unstaged the essence of who you are on the inside that is what makes you beautiful.  For the longest time I have looked within myself and tried to determine what i want the world to see when they see my photographs and what has spoken to me most loudly is the natural beauty within us all.  Our laughter, and our tears, triumphs, and failures as that is what we all have experienced and is the common thread that we share as humans… we are all the same in spite of our differences.

I have posted some of my favourite captures of what I consider to be natural beauty.

As a girl I always thought it would be cool to have twins, once I became a mother of one…not so much.  I have to say I have a profound respect for mothers of multiples as being a mother is one of the hardest jobs on the planet and then multiply it, wow!

So with that being said I had my first opportunity to Shoot “J & J” who were 10 days old and I was able to truly experience what life is really like with twins.  I really want “A”, mother of the twins to know how much she is my she-ro.

I also had to include a shot of her older children “E & A”, as they were so helpful and are beautiful little people.

Have a beautiful day
