LOVING WHAT we DO

Whether you’re expecting or just had a new baby, I’d love to take a moment to welcome you into our studio. We photograph newborns under six weeks of age and pride ourselves on speaking the language of new parents who want lasting, unforgettable photos of their newborns.

We’re known for our newborn composite images and stylized setups which allow us to capture dreamy photos of your newborn without compromising their safety. By combining two or more images through special editing techniques, we have dozens of backdrops and props for you to choose from. Before your eyes, you’ll see one image transformed into another!

I am a fully-certified newborn photographer and Oakville's very first accredited posed newborn photographer trained in newborn safety with Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International (APNPI), so you can feel confident that your child is in great hands. I’ll pose your child using established and trusted practices specifically for working with your precious newborn.

My style has been defined as light and bright, but I also love capturing earthy, moody photos. To me, children are precious and what I love most is the care and attentiveness it takes to capture their first moments. Since my journey started with photographing my son’s early days, to me, taking photographs is a part of showing my son how much we’ve loved him through every stage of his life.

Several of my clients have called me a baby whisperer because we can always put your child at ease so the session is relaxing, fun, and full of great moments. I would love to make you feel right at home in our studio in Oakville.

Our newborn photography sessions are for babies from 3 days to under 6 weeks of age.

02.

We recommend booking your baby's session early in your 2nd trimester to avoid disappointment as we offer a limited number of sessions each month.  Please book 2 to 3 weeks after your due date or if scheduled for a c-section, please select a date when your newborn will be under 6 weeks of age.  We do have some last-minute openings from time to time, if you have not booked already, please feel free to reach out to us to see if we have anything last minute available.  We keep our calendar up to date for availability on the website too which you can find HERE after clicking on one of the BOOK NOW buttons.

03.

That's ok!  Please contact us if you are delivering early or late and we can discuss any opportunities for possible schedule changes.

Our photographer, Tricia is the first photographer in Oakville to be part of the Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International (APNPI).  This means she has undertaken a course to ensure she is fully qualified to pose newborns safely.

McLelland Photography is known for safety even prior to the pandemic.  Both Tricia and our Studio Manager, Anita still wear face masks for all their sessions.  They also have high end air filters in every room in the studio too.  And all items and props that are used for a session are fully cleaned and sanitized after every use.

All clients that visit the studio which is located in the basement of Tricia's home, are also required to fill out a COVID-19 Agreement prior to arrival and if anyone (including Tricia and Anita) is sick/ill, discussions will begin to reschedule your session right away.
