A beautiful little gem I discovered…

I received a phone call from a lovely lady asking me to come take a look at her beautiful old family home beside Dundern Castle in Hamilton.  She is thinking of offering it out to photographers (for a fee but quite reasonable) Her idea is for small intimate wedding photography or unique engagement photography.  I don’t really do very much wedding photography but I think it would be so charming….I’m thinking how cool it would be for some of my older children and families too…perhaps with some of my gorgeous vintage dresses for little girls!  Absolutely no way could we do toddlers or babies…too many little things everywhere…THAT would be my worse nightmare…and the parents too, I’m sure!

If anyone, is interested or would like to inquire as to her rate, please get in touch with me at kelly@kellywilk.com…Local photographers too!   I think it would be a great alternative in case of inclement weather and her property literally is right beside Dundern Castle…Her house would not work for large wedding parties though…  I was in vintage heaven this afternoon!   The house just throws out positiver energy!

Introducing…7 week old baby Reyse…Mississauga newborn photographer

Reyse’s sisters had their newborn pictures taken at 7 weeks so her mom thought it was best to be consistent with all three.  I have to admit, 7 week olds are trickier to photograph then newborns but, wow, you can get some absolutely gorgeous shots that you just don’t get with day’s old babies! It just takes alot of patience…Reyse was wonderful when she wanted to be and that’s all I needed…Fortunately her big sisters were ANGELS and Reyse was on her best behaviour with them (for the most part…lol!) You have three beautiful, sweet little girls Connie! I had so much fun!

Welcome baby Luca…Burlington newborn photographer

So wonderful to meet your lovely family Jennifer!  The girls were wonderful and Luca was a dream! Enjoy Grampa Tony and Gramma Sandy!

Michelle’s family…Burlington, Ontario on location photographer

Can you believe the weather last night?  Torrential rain about half an hour before our session!  We had to change our plans at the last minute but the rain held up for the most part and we got some lovely shots…Overcast is truly a photographer’s dream! Not so much for the lady’s hair though! lol!   (Although these ladies looked gorgeous!)  What a beautiful family! I feel like I’ve known you for years! (that’s ’cause I’ve known you for years!!!)

Congratulations on reaching a milestone! Happy 50th wedding anniversary!!!!

Gorgeous boy…gorgeous family…

Roxy & Ginger…Burlington on location photographer

Last night was fun! Two of my favourite little girls modelled my new dresses for me for this “stylized” shoot!  They were such troopers! The mosquitoes were CRAZY and the girls didn’t complain once!  I am IN LOVE with this session!  Thank you girls and a BIG thank you to Vanessa, Matt, Chloe and Colton for letting me use their beautiful property…I was on a hunt for a pretty flowering tree and this fit the bill perfectly!!!

Katherine & Joanna’s family…Burlington family photographer

The girl’s daddy phoned me to set up the session.  I photographed Katherine about a year and a half ago and they now have a new little girl. He told me Joanna was 8 months old…Easy peasy!!!…My favourite age to photograph! Well…..Joanna  is not your typical 8 month old! lol! This little girl is quick..never seen a baby crawl away so quickly! Lol!  Still, she was a little doll and her big sister was a sweetie too! I’m in love with these pics!  Happy Mother’s Day Laura!!!

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love them all!

Sweet little Charlie! …Burlington newborn photographer

All of my newborn sessions are special…some babies just make me work harder then other babies! Charlie was the most co-operative little guy I have had in a very long time… I think the secret is that he really was so young!  He was born 4 weeks prematurely and he was three weeks old for his session so that makes him minus one week old gestationally. I’m not saying bring in your babies that young! lol! But, they truly are so much easier to work with when they are days old rather then weeks old. It was such a pleasure to meet you Michelle and Derek!

Cassie’s 9 month shoot…Grimsby baby photographer

People often ask me …..”What is your favourite age to photograph?” My answer is always, between 7 – 9 months! Babies can sit up on their own, they are usually still not that mobile and they are so proud of themselves and usually just smile, smile smile! I love the little pouty faces too! Cassie was a ton of fun…started out with huge smiles…and finished with huge smiles when she got to stand up! See you in three months Cassie for your BIG #1!!!

Morgan’s new baby brother…Burlington newborn photographer

Morgan was a great helper with her little brother and quite the ham in front of the camera!

Welcome baby Henry…Burlington newborn photographer

Henry had a bit of a rough start his first two weeks but he is all better now and was pure joy to photograph! I have had a run of wonderful little newborn boys lately…no girls on the horizon though! Funny how that happens! Congratulations Mom and Dad! Life has really only just begun!

Andy’s family…Burlington family photographer

Some of Andy’s family were visiting from as far away as Hawaii! You can imagine that our lovely Easter weekend weather was a bit chillier then they are used to! Wonderful to meet you all! Of course, Holly was the scene stealer!
