Always a pleasure to photograph someone beautiful, talented and smart!

This gorgeous singer has a fantastic personality, is taking off to Europe to sing for some influential people in the Opera community and she has her B.Mus as well as her M.Mus.  Wish her luck on this amazing journey.

Just having some fun.

I was setting up for a session and my kids came down to find me.  They wanted to help so I had them sit where I was going to have the baby positioned.  They can either be the 2 hardest people for me to photograph or the best.  This night they were great.  It was a bit of a serious session but it was about 10:30 at night so bears and PJ's seemed to be the best attire.

We had a spashing time!

This little man was only 10 days old when he came into the studio with mom and dad.  One thing is for sure, he knew how to make a real splash.  Even though this happens at just about every session in one way or another, it isn't always captured.  Sometimes you just know it is happening but you can't see it and you hope that it is just wet. 

At least at this age it is pretty much just water.

Love the images with a parent and their new baby.

Thanks for stopping by.

First Communion

It is time for First Communions and here are a few images from this year.  They all look so lovely in their clothing.  It was fun to chat with them about what Communion means to them and how they were preparing.

Darling little girls

I just love to photograph this family.  There is a large print on my table of this family back when their oldest daughter was about 9 months old.  They will get stopped in the park and people have asked them if I am their photographer as they recognize their daughter.  She is a doll and now she has a mini-me of herself.  Here they are.

Rub a dub dub.

I just loved this image when I took it.  The backdrop had such a fun colour to it and I just had to play with it.  It reminded me of rain and water so I brought in other elements to enhance what I saw.

Have a great day!

Check out those eyes!!!

These girls are just so lovely that I wanted to share them with you.  I love images when everyone isn't always wearing a toothy grin and often not even looking at the camera.  Seems many people I meet with will love an image but want everyone looking directly into the lens.  These girls are clearly looking directly into the camera but with two very different expressions and I love them both.

I also really like the image at the bottom where no one is looking at the camera.  It kind of reminds me of opening squares from the TV show, The Brady Bunch.  Everyone looking around checking out everyone else.

I so enjoyed working with Sandy and her family.  You may recognize her from her earlier headshots.  Sandy Hatzis is with RE/MAX Aboutowne Realty.  A very smart lady and fantastic Real Estate Agent.

Time to log off so that I can meet a new family in the morning.

Bella is 6 months old now.

I get so excited when I am going to see a baby on my first year program.  I can see the baby features from when they were newborn and how their eyes have gotten so big and round.  I can enjoy all of the stories of how they are growing and what they have been up to and it is all so exciting for me.  I am finished growing my own family but it feels like I still get to participate in the growth of my client's families.  I enjoy it too when they come back with a new sibling that is joining the family.  This little sweetheart is the first baby for this family, but a cousin to two other clients all who had their babies within a couple of months of each other.  The grandparents are so proud.

This little doll is 6 months old and it was so delightful to see this family again.

Thanks for checking in.

3 Beautiful Girls

Brad is one lucky man.  A beautiful wife and 3 gorgeous daughters.  I have had the honour of photographing this family since the youngest was just an infant.   I love capturing them!  We headed out to my favourite outdoor location because it has so much to offer and we had a sunset session.  The light at this time of the evening is just fantastic!
