Thank you all for your continued support during all these fab years of business! What a whirlwind it has been, and I have loved meeting and cuddling all your babies and kids through the years. Such fun to watch them grow and celebrate their milestones with photographic art.
Please check back often for our re-opening…
Such a crazy fall. Something always has to fall by the wayside in the busy season, and this year, like most, it’s the blog! I haven’t had a minute even to rebuild and rebrand it as the new Jane Photo, but I am hopeful that by January 1 everything will be retooled for the new year with a fab new focus on digital collections! To those I’ve promised blog entries, I’m sorry that I haven’t been able to get to them yet. Hopefully I’m getting caught up on sessions, though, and orders for the holidays!
And meantime, thanks to all you wonderful families who supported the biz this year and made it the success it is…such an honour working with you all.
This lil’ tyke has the sweetest darn family, I swear, the loveliest parents and the loveliest big sisters who were just meeting him for the very first tme at our photo session! They were sooo good with him. He was just four days old, and only contented wrapped up tight…too adorable for words. I put him in the cool new sweater I had just finished knitting, but it was a bit small for him at over 8 pounds. Otherwise, he just loved all the soft warmth.

Beautiful shots Jane! Love the sibling shots and the baby in the basket – that is precious!
Awww…these are wonderful! What a gorgeous little baby, and those girls – they are so beautiful!!
These are all fabulous – I can’t even choose a favorite. What a gorgeous family!
Oh, what a beautiful session!! I love to see newborn sessions outdoors and these are so dreamy. Just perfect for a newborn session. The older girls are so much fun too. I tried to get my little one to throw up harts this spring, but they didn’t turn out as I had envisioned…these are inspiring me to try again:) I love these!!
aaaw…how special to be able to capture the big sisters meeting their baby brother! That’s wonderful.

Here is sweet Mr J at 7 months. I photographed him as a newborn, when he was uncommonly lovely, and he is still an amazingly gorgeous boy. He has awesome doggies at home, and he also has awesome parents.
His mommy shares these words:
Your gorgeous little guy has been growing like spit. How much does he weigh now at 7 months?
22 lbs – yes that is a lot, but he is also quite tall at 28.75”. In terms of weight and height, he is in the 93rd and 94th percentile respectively
Your family was able to visit from overseas. How was it for them meeting their grandson for the first time? Tell us about their visit.
They were absolutely delighted to finally meet Mr. J and could not believe that I was able to hand him to them to hold him at the airport and he did not cry but gave them a great big smile. They did not want to let go of him! We totally enjoyed their visit, especially Mr. J who got to spend so much time in his Opa’s arms, listening to him telling him all about the birds, flowers, etc., going for long walks with my parents and getting lots of cuddles from Oma. My parents and us could not believe how much Mr. J had grown in the 7 weeks they were here. They were happy to have been around when he learned to crawl, eat solids, pull himself up to stand and cut his first two teeth. It is amazing how quickly they develop! It was wonderful for us as well, because we got spoiled as well with wonderful cooking, help with chores around the house and great company. It is always great to have helping hands when you have a little one around, and it was difficult to have them leave again. We are looking forward to their next visit already!
Can you tell us a few of Mr J’s favourite things?
Mr. J loves his stuffed Bernese Mountain Dog and his two real Bernese Mountain Dog friends and playing peek-a-boo. He likes to constantly be on the move and enjoys listening to his mom sing to him. Mr. J also likes to cuddle a lot with his mom and dad! He also likes to eat solids, and sometimes also likes to wear the food. Bath time is one of his favourite things as is an important part of his bedtime routine. Skip a bath and it is tough to get him to sleep!!
How has it been for you and your hubby as new parents? Are their any joys or challenges you’d like to share?
It has been absolutely great and enjoyable – better than we ever imagined. Some sleepless nights, when the teeth are cutting through have been a challenge, but thankfully it did not last too long. The nice moments definitely make up for the hard times. Especially when he lies in bed besides me and then turns to me, puts my face in his hands and plants a great big kiss on my cheek! Or when we play peek-a-boo and he giggles so loud and hard that he almost chokes on his own saliva – just priceless moments!
What are your hopes and wishes for Mr J over the next, say, two years?
That he continues to grow and thrive like he is doing right now, as well as that he stays as healthy and happy go lucky as he is.
Do you have any advice for other moms of little boys?
Enjoy them as much as you can – the hugs, the cuddles, the kisses, the laughs and giggles. I am sure when they are older there will come a time when they don’t want to be seen cuddling with mom anymore!
And make sure to cover them when changing their diapers to avoid a surprise shower

I have a 7 month old fella, too! This little man is adorable! Love them all!
I feel like I know him from these pictures – there’s such a variety of expressions. The close-up shot and the mirror photo in particular are stunning.

Wow, just wow! These are wonderful. Love the pumpkin shot!
This lil’ darlin’ came to see us at three weeks…a little bit on the senior side for newborn images, but such an adorable little pumpkin. I just lost my heart to him and to his beautiful big bro, too!

Say hello to the brilliant Mr M, my sweetie-pie nephew, who made his way into our world in early September while Joy and I paced like anxious dads in the waiting room. We got to chat with the most awesome 12-year-old, Amanda, who wants to be a writer when she grows up, and she really helped us pass those wee hours (and Amanda, I hope your mom and the baby are doing well). When we went in to greet little Mr M after he was born, our hearts just swelled with love and pride. Way to go, J and R! It was a hard delivery, but my sister-in-law was really amazing through it all. We took my father-in-law, 88, back out to meet him a couple days later when the new family was safely home, and at dinner afterwards, Dad was heard to exclaim that little M was very good looking. Not just regular good looking, but special good looking! Joy and I totally agree. He is the first grandson on both sides of the family (though Joy’s dad has five grown granddaughters).
Here are some words from the brand new mama:
Your new son arrived a little late…what were your thoughts and hopes as you waited to go into labour?
We were getting anxious to meet our baby and hoping that everything was ok. We were booked to be induced on Sept 2nd and sure enough I went into labour the night before and he came on his own time on Sept 2nd.
Were you working right up until the end?
Yes, I actually worked past my due date. I always felt, right from the beginning, that he would be late.
How did you know you were in labour?
I was feeling a little unsettled when I went to bed that night and by 1 a.m. mild contractions started. I walked and walked all through the night to keep things progressing (I did not want to be induced).
Did you have a natural birth?
Yes, we were very happy that everything went ok and we had a natural birth. It was long and painful but knowing that we would soon have a baby kept us both going.
How long was your labour? When did you go home?
My labour was about 22 hours from start to finish. Since he was born at 11:29pm Thursday, they kept us in until Saturday afternoon.
How was the first week at home with little Mr M?
It was crazy, we were both going constantly and there was so much to do for this new little person.
Were you surprised by anything in the experience of new parenting?
I would say that we were unprepared for how demanding it really is and how tired we would be.
Is there a time you watch your hubs with his son that just melt you completely?
It is so cute when they are hanging out and watching sports together… baby is feeding and hubby is watching sports.
What is your favourite thing, so far, about being a mom?
Having this little person depend on you for everything and watching them change and develop every day.
Is there anything you’re finding challening about being a mom?
Lack of sleep!
Is little Mr M keeping you up at night?
Oh, yes.
Do you have any advise for other pregnant moms about to be in your shoes?
Relax and don’t be too hard on yourself.
What do you wish for Mr M as he grows?
We want him to be happy and to enjoy whatever he does.
