As a Kelowna Newborn Photographer, I have never had a baby come into my studio with one name, and leave with another name.  This is the case with little Gunner.  Named Jax Thunder at birth, his mom and dad weren’t convinced he was a Jax.  When I met them at my studio, they told me they were considering changing it to Gunner….because he laughed like a little gun 🙂   During the session, I started calling him Gunner, and by the time they left….they said he had a new name!    Although I don’t deserve any credit in the new name…I’d like to think I had something to do with it.

Mom had been dreaming about little Gunner’s session for months and came with adorable props.  I loved the little teddy bear hat and had always wanted to do an image where baby was snuggled with their own teddy.  Gunner loved his little teddy so much…he slept right through the excitement.

Mom was the one who also brought in the autumn hat and she couldn’t have picked a better time for Gunner’s little photos.  My studio is situated at the historic Caetani Centre and in the fall the yard is sprinkled, actually drenched better describes it, with gorgeous yellow and orange maple leaves.  It couldn’t have been a better backdrop for his hat if we tried.

A very important image for mom and dad was Gunner with his three older brothers.  These three boys are so enamored with their new little brother and were perfect subjects to work with.  Oldest brother Aidan, took his job very seriously and was a perfect prop for Gunner to sleep on.  I wish Michael and Melissa all the best in having a house of 4 boys!  Talk about an expensive household to raise when they are all teenagers 😉

Thank you to this beautiful family 6 for entrusting me with your beautiful family.
