One For The Grandparents

I had a last minute booking a few days before Christmas for some friends of mine. They wanted to have a portrait done of their family for their parents. Since they were all here the D family decided to take the opportunity to have a family shot of their own done as well. I photographed their daughter for her 1st birthday and this time Daddy was with them so it all worked out! I have the pleasure of playing volleyball with both of the Mom's and am fortunate to have them in my life! I hope your parents loved the portrait!

My Son and His Dad

I recently took a photo for my son to give his Gran for Christmas with his Dad. Here is the one they picked out for her.

Miss M Is Here!

I had done this Mommy's maternity session literally days before she gave birth. About 10 days later I met Miss M for the first time. I love doing newborn sessions and this one was especially sweet because Miss M's Grandma was here too. I love the shot of her hand in her new granchild's hand. These are definitely moments for this family to cherish. Thanks for sharing your baby girl with me!

My Sister and Her Family

Having a sister is amazing. You inevitably argue as kids and teenagers, but once you move out on your own you become great friends. My sister is someone I am so proud of. She deals with her kids with such patience. My nephew has special needs and for any of you who have ever met her you will know that she has embraced everything about C and her determination to always advocate for him at all times is simply amazing to me and sometimes leaves me speechless. She is one of the best Moms I know and I love you and your kids! These photos to me really are C and K. The love my sister has for her kids is certainly displayed here. Thank you for all of your support with my business.

My Kids

When I started this business I put my kids through alot. They were there to try out new props, new lighting, new backdrops, poses...pretty much everything. Whether it was my 15 year old, or my 4 year old they have always stepped up when their Mom needed them. I struggled with whether I would share personal photographs on my blog. I came to the conclusion that I should. They are the reason I am doing what I love. They started it all. They are my favourite subjects and will always be. I am so blessed. I mean that in every sense of the word. They are both happy, healthy kids who actually get along and love each other. This post is for them. I love you both very much. I am very proud to be your Mom!

Mommy To Be and Grandma of 13

Not only was I happy to have a friend of mine from volleyball to my studio who is pregnant with her first child, but I had the good fortune to meet her Mom. She was visiting from out west so she could be here to meet her 13th grandchild! It was so nice to hear how excited she was and just how moved she was being here with her daughter. A couple of the shots had her in tears as well as me! What a special time to share with your Mom. Thanks to both of you for making my day that much better!

Twins

I have never photographed twins until this family arrived at my studio. I was very excited to see how different these two boys would be. They were both adorable. I had so much fun with this family and I hope to see them again in the future as the boys get older. Here are a few for you to see.

The T Family

I have known this family for a while. I met them both separately through volleyball and now they are happily married and have two great kids. Miss A kept us very busy, while Mr T was a real trooper being ready for every shot. I am sorry these have taken so long to post. I know you have been anxious to post some shots on Facebook. Here are a few of your favourites.

The G Family

I have been photographing this family for their annual Christmas card for the past few years. It is amazing to me as I look back to see how much K and M have changed and grown up. I love them all dearly, and loved having them in my studio for the first time.

Baby Boy Z

Baby Z is here! I did Mommy's maternity shoot and now I had the pleasure of photographing Z for the first time at 5 days old. The idea behind photographing a newborn in the first week or so is to get them when they are sleepy alot. Well, Baby Z wanted nothing to do with sleeping! We were still lucky to catch some gorgeous shots of him. Hope you both enjoy these.

Beautiful S Family

The S Family was one of my first sessions during my portfolio building. It was so nice to see them again and this time Mom and Dad came along for some shots. They are a stunning family, and so easy to photograph!! I love capturing memories for you and hope to see all of you soon! Thanks for all of your support and referrals.

The M Family...and My Daugther

When the M family came to my studio for their family portrait I guess it was inevitable that my daughter would somehow "join" their family. Mr L and Connor are great friends and we couldn't help but get a few shots of the two of them together. Thank you to G and L for being a great support to me with my new business venture. It means the world to me!
