Cute as a button

As a new mom, I spend my days soothing, burping, rocking, singing, changing diapers, and occasionally I find a window of opportunity to take a few pictures of my son. The casual snapshot will not suffice my creative side, so out comes backdrops of various textures, colours and patterns, clothing options, hats, and my baby voice. I've been blessed with a happy little fellow who is getting to know the camera pretty well for a mere 9 weeks old.

My prince

My husband and I are proud to announce the birth of our beautiful baby boy, Julian Mario Joseph Colalillo. Born August 24th at 9:45pm, weighing in at a healthy 10.8 lbs. And as usual mommy couldn't wait to start snappin!

Many thanks to Dr. Nascu, Dr. Hancock and all the wonderful nurses that took care of us at Stratford General Hospital.

Too PHat to PHoto

Well it seems I reached my breaking point and must put a halt to my photography for the next couple of months. Unfortunately I will not be booking any new sessions for the remainder of the summer and early fall. I plan to enjoy the rest of my one and a half months of pregnancy finishing up my full time job and enjoying the growing munchkin inside of me.

I am currently working on my new website to launch in the fall, which I am really excited about. And I look forward to booking many wonderful and creative sessions soon after that.

Thanks for all the well wishes. Nataal

Little Jack

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything new. Due to my own pregnancy (now 6 months along!!), I'm finally feeling like I've got my groove back. So it's back to doing what I love, photographing babies and children. Here are some from a recent session of Jack and his yummy mummy.

Some of my fav's over the past year.
