It can be very daunting when you are shopping for maternity clothes for the very first time,…read moreespecially when you loathe clothes shopping like myself. The store can be slightly hard to find if you aren't familiar with the West-end; however, it is on the same strip as Sawmill -- just the very end of it. I really like the quality of the conservative stretchy work pants and dresses that I can wear at work. You have to get the popular nursing/maternity bra that comes in black, nude or coral, which you can sleep in. Once you get it, you won't want to try on any nursing bra from Walmart; it's really comfortable since it doesn't dig your ladies. The sales clerk was very knowledgeable and helpful in finding what I needed; i.e. styles I like and that I didn't want pieces that emphasised the belly too much and pieces that can last throughout the entire pregnancy. Very relaxed environment. Come prepared to spend more than $200 though. Merchandise is high quality, therefore, at boutique prices. I found that the brand Bellyssima fit me really well for petite build. Be ready to be tempted by the amazing belly cream (scented with lavender and has Shea butter) that is right beside the till. There are sale items near the front of the store, but I found them to be a bit too casual for office wear. Maybe I should tell Santa that I could use a gift card to this store. Hint, hint.

I've known about this store for a little while and had been meaning to go inside. I was impressed…read morewith the variety of merchandise they had available. The store was jam packed and well organized. You can find your basic baby essentials here. They have clothes for babies and mothers, nursing bras, breast pumps, baby carriers, nursing pillows, baby eating utensils, baby skin care products, toys and so much more! I found the prices comparable to other baby stores in the city. A couple weeks ago, I had my baby via C section. When I was discharged home, I wished I had gotten more disposable mesh underwear from the hospital. I can't wear my regular underwear due to my tender abdomen and the location of my surgical scar. In this store, I found a box of Frida high waist disposable post C section underwear. A box of 8 was a little over $30. The lady at the store said this underwear was a better quality than the ones given in the hospital. The underwear is made of good quality material, fits me perfectly and is so comfortable that it doesn't bother my incision at all. I'm a happy customer! I will be back to visit this store and I recommend other people to check it out. It's a great place to find some basics and maybe even some gifts for new parents. Give yourself some time to really check out the various items. There's some cool stuff here!

Bosom Babies is a cute store that sells adorable things for teeny-tiny babies. Everything in the…read morestore looks carefully selected, from baby blankets, clothes and shoes to toys, towels and bedding. The store is extremely small but houses many products which are a pleasure to browse though. The clothes and little shoes and socks are just adorable. The majority of bedding is bright and cheerful, and many sets are made of organic cotton. If you really want to spoil a baby, there are silk blankets for sale. Toys and accessories such as tiny toothbrushes, sippy cups and baby car seat covers are equally sweet. I am sure that any woman who shops here gets that warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

After doing a ton of research for maternity/newborn photography, I finally found Teagan photography…read moreonline. Her website was easy to navigate and There was a lot of options for picture packages. I chose the first years package with Teagan photography which included maternity/newborn/6 months and one year. That was definitly a great decision on my part. The maternity portion we first met with Allison the photographer in the river valley and she made you feel at ease. She gave us a little sneak peak on the camera and a facebook sneak peak shortly after. I was so excited with the pictures. The newborn pictures were done in our house and I was just blown away with how patient she was with our little girl who pooped and peed all over. Being a brand new mom she took away the stress and was very relaxed and just worked so well with us and the new baby. Again we loved our pictures and she was quick with all of the sneak peaks. We have had our 6 month session and I have just been blown away with the great pictures she has taken and how well they all work together. In a few months we will have our 1 year pictures but they will not be the last! In the end she will bind all the photos in a book and we will have an awesome keepsake of our little lady. Again so over the moon with Allison of Teaghan Photography. She is just the perfect blend of professionalism and talent!

Biggest mistake hiring this photographer. Completely ruined capturing in memory one of the biggest…read moreoccasions of my life. Promised gallery of photos to be delivered within 4-6 weeks of taking them. Took her 5 months to show us that she is still working on editing photos. Absolutely massacred the photos editing them. Not a single time in these 5 months did she update us herself that she would be unable to meet her promised deadline. We had to keep asking her and she just came up with random excuses for more than 5 months. After receiving absolutely poorly edited photos after 5 months, she refused to provide us the original photos just so that we can at least have unedited photos for our memories. She promised to fix her edits for 7 more months until she decided she would not do them. Completely ruined the biggest occasion of my life.

We hired Roberta to take…read morenewborn photos of my baby shortly after she was born and I could not have been more pleased with the experience and the photos we received. Her studio is super well set up for newborns - super warm, an endless supply of blankets and towels for any accidents and what seems like a warehouse full of props, headbands, baskets, background blankets and wraps. Roberta is highly skilled at wrapping newborns and ensuring their utmost safety while at the same time capturing beautiful photos. I did not hesitate to leave her with my newborn third child while I attended to the older siblings. She has a lot of patience for fussy newborn babies who will just not sleep for the session and older siblings who are not so co-operative for their portion of the session. I wouldn't want anyone else to photograph these early moments with our babies.
