While it is always best to have newborns in to the studio for their newborn session within their first two weeks of life, that is not always an option. If it comes down to photographing a baby at over 2 weeks old or the parents having no pictures of the early days of their baby’s life, I’d never turn a baby away! Older than 2 weeks old we may not get the curly squishy sleeping poses that you can when they’re very very new, but we can still capture some adorable memories of your slightly older newborns. With a little bit of luck you can get both some sleepy images and some “just learned how to smile and giggle” images too. Please meet the very special Baby J at two months old!

World Prematurity Day 2016
World wide 1 in 10 babies are born prematurely, that is before 37 weeks gestation. Here in Canada that number is 1 in 12. Today is World Prematurity Day which celebrates these extra tiny miracles! Four and a half years ago my oldest daughter arrived 9 weeks early at 2lbs 15 oz so this day is a special one for us. We will be forever grateful for the amazing staff at the Royal Alex NICU in Edmonton, Alberta who took such great care of our girl – and so many others each and every day. It is amazing however tiny our girl was to look around and see other babies who were more than half her size! Preemies are fighters and we our thankful for our little fighter!
Happy World Prematurity Day to all preemie rock stars!

A Poppy is to Remember
This Remembrance Day we will be thinking of all our friends and family that have and are serving in the Canadian forces. Thank you to all who have served for the protection of our country and protection of those in other countries that are unable to protect themselves. Wear your poppy, thank a veteran and pause for 2 minutes of silence and think about those brave Canadians who went to war – those who never came back, those who were physically injured and those who came back forever changed by their experiences.
Leia’s cake smash – Ottawa child photography
Today was a big day here at K McCadden Photography. Our very first in studio client here in our new studio Barrhaven studio was Miss Leia, who came for a custom styled first birthday cake smash! Her beautiful cake was made by Mundy Mundy Cakes Leia wasn’t too sure about the sweet icing but she loved the cake, and especially her bubble bath after to clean up!

Ice Cream 3rd Birthday
This ice cream third birthday milestone session was so fun! We started out with some toy ice cream at the ice cream stand and then moved on to the real thing! Little Sis was so worried that her sister didn’t have an ice cream that she invited her in for a taste!
We had so much fun doing this that I’m thinking of offering a limited edition Ice Cream Parlour session at the end of August/beginning of September. Contact me if you’re interest in some adorably messy pictures of your little ones!

Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day from K McCadden Photography! Especially for all those first time Daddies who are celebrating for the first time this year and those who are missing celebrating with their families due to service to our country.

Childrens Christmas Portrait Favourites 2015
Now that Christmas is over and everyone has shared their pictures from their Christmas sessions with their friends and family I get to share some of my favourite images taken back in November! Sign up for our newsletter here to be the first to hear about our children’s Valentines special holiday sessions!

Kali & Ashton in the Fall
I’ve had my first photo shoot with somebody I didn’t know already! I had so much fun photographing these two girls in the fall leaves. These sisters just adore each other; big sister loves kissing and giving attention to her to her baby sister and baby sister’s eyes show how much she loves her big sister! I had a very hard time narrowing down just a few pictures to post here on the website!
Launch Day
It’s Launch Day! After much encouragement from friends and family I’ve decided to go from hobby photographer to professional photographer. Thank you so much to my friends who’ve helped me expand my portfolio in the past couple weeks (and those that have allowed me to use pictures I’ve taken for them in the past few years), my fantastic photographer friends who have passed on advice and helped me to improve over the years, and most of all, thank you to Dan, Keira and Brenna who have put up with me sticking my camera in their faces over the years to capture memories and in turn improve my photography skills.
