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 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!

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.

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!

Family Portrait Time For the H Family

I first met this family at my Halloween Fundraiser Event. I was thrilled that soon after I heard from them to book a session for a family portrait as well as some shots of their absolutely adorable girls. I had such a good time with these girls as they twirled in their pretty dresses. Hope you enjoy some of my favourites from this family session.

1st Annual Halloween Charity Event A Success!

On Saturday October 31st we had our first charity event. Food items as well as cash donations were collected in exchange for a free 4X6 for each family who attended. We had no idea what to expect, but were thrilled with the turnout and generous donations. Thanks to everyone for the generosity and help. All food and donated money were given to Feed The Need Durham. For more information on this group please go to their website. www.ftndurham.ca

3 J's and Lacey

I have photographed this family many times before. I think this is my 3rd consecutive year. When I look back to the first time I captured them, I can't believe how grown up the girls have become. They are great girls with a wonderful Mom. I love them all! This time they brought the newest addition to their family with them. Lacey was a perfect model.

Beautiful Dancing Sisters

This was a first for me. Anyone who knows me knows that I am about as far away from a dancer as you can possibly get. With the help of their Mom I was able to take some beautiful dance poses of these stunning girls. We then got casual and did some relaxed shots of the two of them being just girls. Hope you like them Mom! Miss T and Miss B are wonderful young ladies!
