Sisters

These 3 beautiful sisters came into the studio this week and they were so much fun.  They had great attitudes and were comfortable in their own skin which added to their lovely personalities.  I can't wait to show them the rest of the images from the session!

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.

9 months again

I got to photography this little beauty again today for her 9 month session.  Her sister had a similar session back in 2008 and we attempted to repeat a few of the images.

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.

The Firefighter and his family...6 months later

Do you remember this stunning couple?  I couldn't wait to see Baby A sitting up and moving all around.  What a doll with the most captivating blue eyes!  She is such a happy baby and it was wonderful to catch up with them and see how everyone is doing.  I love my job!

Brothers

Little M reminded and his older brother J were a delight to photograph earlier today.  I shot one of my favourite images today.  I just loved how this one converted to black and white.

Big brother J is always a joy to photograph and now his brother joins him.

These two will have the phone ringing off the hook when they are teenagers.

 

I think this look is "Don't mess with my brother or you will be dealing with me."

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Guy is ready to give 110%

I got to meet Guy Buchanan recently when he came to me to create some headshots for his real estate portfolio.   Guy is an energetic and fun person and he was great to interact with.  He had a wonderful story about how he met his beautiful wife and I hope that they will be back to photograph their family in the future. 
Guy has some great ideas about how to start his career in real estate and with his energy and innovation I am going to watch for his signs around town!

I met this lovely family when they came to allow me the honour of photographing their newborn son but I had the added pleasure of meeting their daughter who was a doll to have fun with.  She just loved the big teddy bear and gave him some great big bear hugs.  Kids at this age are unpredictable and full of energy and that is what makes photographing them so much fun.  My job is never the same on any given day and I would not have it any other way!

I had posted a few of these photos on Facebook but just noticed that I had not posted any here so I thought I would love to share them with you.

Thanks for stopping by.

Main Street Quartet

I had a terrific afternoon getting outside with Shantelle, Jenn,  John and Frank for some photos for their portfolio.  They were so much fun and it was a chance to get out in the middle of the day for a couple of hours and have fun without having to worry about anyone jumping in the mud before it was time or falling in the water :).  Check them out at www.mainstreetquartet.net!

 

Check out the frozen water behind them!  It was a beautiful day and there were birds walking on the pond a bit further back!

One Year Later...

Well here we are.  One year later.  Little Baby M is one and it has been such a wonderful pleasure to photograph her over this time frame.  Here are some of her latest images.  Little Miss M always shows me many sides of her sweet little personality and has no fear of the camera and the lights.  It is usually a bit of a challenge to keep a hat on a toddler, but not this one, she loves to play dress up too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Some time for my Family

Over the holidays I had an opportunity to capture some images of my family.  It has become something that my children understand they just have to do every few months.  It always starts out fun but at some point there is no more listening or too much goofing around and it all breaks down.  That is when I call it over as we are just not all on the same page and eventually everyone succumbs to doing as mom asks.  I may have had to fake tears or heartbreak, but I usually get at least a few shots that I really love.  This year was no different.
