Amy Montgomery – Photographer :: Burlington Ontario Children's Portrait Photography bio picture
  • thanks for stopping by!

    I am a children's photographer based in Burlington, Ontario. The pages of this site are designed to celebrate the people I meet and photograph. As I leap into their lives for the duration of a session, I'm impacted by their version of "family"... and I bring that home to mine ~ I have two children; both growing up much faster than I'd like... and an extremely supportive husband; he's a fantastic Daddy too!

    Have a peek at the galleries above or scroll down through a post or two. Drop me a note or leave a comment. Please know how much I love to hear from you!

    Enjoy!

The Best Mom :: Burlington Children’s Photographer

The other day, I popped up to my 9-year-old son’s school during Track & Field Day to bring him some sunscreen and a hat and a water bottle (kind of missed the fact that it was Track & Field Day in the first place! oops!) While I was handing off his things, there was the expected mix of comments. “Is that your mom?” and “Hi Mrs. Montgomery!” and someone who thought the whole thing was totally un-cool (which I guess it was!) announced “She came up here just to give you a water bottle?” But then there was this one kid who I didn’t know and he piped up and said, “My mom’s the best! Cause SHE plays video games with me!” It got me thinking… would my kid say I’m the best? I know that he’ll write it in my card on Sunday and I’ll be pampered and feel totally loved, but when I’m not there, I wonder if he actually believes it? I don’t care if anyone else thinks I’m the best Mom, but I sure hope HE does! I hope he knows the overwhelming love I feel for him and how much I want the best for him. I hope he feels that I’m genuinely interested in his world and that all my nagging and teaching and being preoccupied doesn’t overpower my affection. And I’m taking a hint from that kid on the school yard, cause this weekend, there’s going to be a mommy-kid battle on the wii! Happy Mother’s Day weekend everyone!

Mama’s boy :: oakville children’s photographer

A baby boy who loves his mama is something I have a sweet-spot for. I remember when my now-nine-year-old son was little. Something about his “needing me” made my heart race faster. On one hand, I felt exhausted by the constant carrying and sleepless nights. But deep down I felt proud of our connection… knowing it was something special and hoping it wouldn’t change. This session has it’s fair-share of mama’s boy shots which is appropriate given the comfort he found in having her near. Hoping these images will solidify the memory for both of them!


Amy Montgomery - Thanks Christy! Nice of you to stop by!

Christy - Your work is stunning!

fist pump :: burlington newborn photographer

It’s true, the bar for this new babe had been set fabulously high by his big sister just a few years ago. Her newborn session resulted in one of my favorite all-time smiley-baby shots and I REALLY wanted a match! So, I hovered over his sweet little self and waited… and waited… until finally he flashed me a little smirk and threw in a “right-arm-over-the-head-fist-pump” for good measure. Big sister is still beaming, but this time for an extra special reason. She’s fallen in love with a sweet little bundle and he seems quite happy to soak in the affection! Congratulations S&J!

steal the moon :: burlington children’s photographer

When this little tie-wearing boy jumped into my rain boots, I couldn’t resist a picture. He had me wrapped around his finger the minute I laid eyes on his lashes. Aren’t they GORGEOUS? And like many boys his age, he’s found something to obsess about. But today it’s not trucks or cookies or puppy dogs… it’s THE MOON! He popped up to the window and pointing outside he pleaded, “MOON?” “MOON?” My melting heart wanted make like Gru in Despicable Me and steal the moon for him right then and there. But the best I could do was clip a little sliver out of post-it paper and tape it to the window. To my surprise, it did the trick!
