I have know Irene for about 13 years.  She is my amazing massage therapist based out of South Mississauga.  I always know that she will be able to fix me up when I am all knotted up.  She has a gift for being able to locate some tiny spot on my back by my neck, even when I have not told her.   I was so excited to finally get the chance to photograph her and her great looking family.  Her son and daughter are all grown up now which was a surprize to me as I had not seen them in a few years.   Thank you all for coming in and sharing Valentines Day with me!

 

  

  

This family is growing fast!

Natalie and Andres are expecting their first child in mid-April and Andres' sister is expecting her second baby any day now.  The cousins will be only a couple of months apart and we are going to photograph them together which is just going to be so adorable.  Chatting with them about my experiences brought back lots of memories for me.  I wish them a smooth and "easy" labour.  I told them that my daughter ended up being breech so they offered to turn her and I was not open to that idea at all!  Her delivery was an unscheduled c-section.  My son came along only 16 months later so he was a planned c-section. 

 

  

Look at these beautiful sisters!  They are so happy and delightful and it was a real pleasure working with them.  This is the first baby for their family and everyone is very excited.

My Practice Models

I was really looking forward to a one year photo session with little Maya who I have had the pleasure of photographing from her time in her mom's tumming, and right through to 9 months.  She was not feeliing well yesterday morning so we decided to make use of the time by letting my kids have some fun with the new backdrops I had picked up.  Josh got into his Tux.  That was the best $60 I have EVER spent on children's clothing.  I purchased it when he was 2 for my sister's wedding but they only had a size 4 so I had to take it up quite a bit.  Then, when he was 4, I let it down a bit.  He has worn it to his nursery school graduation, Christmas concerts, dress up events and now even for a photo session with mom.  Now at age 6 it is starting to look like he won't get much more time out of it but it has been great to have. 

 

 

 

 

Isn't She Lovely?

Sandy Hatzis is a Real Estate Sales Representative withREMAX Aboutowne and we had a great time creating some headshots for her but we also did some casual images just for fun.  She is just too cute!

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.

   

He was 5 weeks early but look at him now!

Originally I was going to photograph this beautiful baby boy before he left the warmth of his mom's tummy but he surprized everyone and arrived about 5 weeks early.  I finally got to meet him when he was a month old and he is doing beautifully.  He liked to be warm so we kept him that way as much as possible and he did everything we asked of him.  He had a good workout.  Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. C on your beautiful baby boy.    Thank you so much for the pleasure of photographing your family.

Mom and her son have a fun photo day.

This mother and son team were so much fun.  They were so close and so loving that is was a pleasure to spend time with them.  It was great when Mr. C told me that he had so much fun during their session.  It really made my day.  I stive to make each session personal and a fun experience and I love receiving feedback that I accomplished that goal.
