This newborn session felt like a real full circle moment for me! I have had the privilege of photographing S&N’s engagement session, wedding and now their first baby! Baby N was a delight to meet. Just hitting his one month birthday, we saw lots of facial expressions, big eyes, yawns and finally that perfect newborn sleep. What a perfect addition to their family!

This was a really special day.
On the most beautiful of April days, in an intimate ceremony with family and close friends in attendance, Linda and Hugh made it official and tied the knot! It was a lovely ceremony that included the Groom singing to his bride and their children speaking a few words from the heart to bless the union. I felt their families love, witnessed their laughter and heard the light poking of fun, that only family can get away with. I felt privileged to be part of their day.
All the best to the new couple!

When I shot at the graffiti wall a few weeks ago, I just knew I had to bring the M Family here for their yearly photoshoot. As soon as we rounded the corner, their faces lit up and I knew I got it right! Mom loves skulls and the kids are a pretty creative bunch. With the art and vibe, it felt like we were shooting an album cover. So much so, I had a hard time getting the D12, “My Band” lyrics out of my head. It’s a definite ear worm.
As usual, I love this family and I think we picked a great spot.

I have had the honour of photographing the G Family for many many years now. I’ve watched them grow up in front of my lens, during all seasons of the year – mom has booked them all! While together, we couldn’t help talking about how much the kids have changed and all the exciting things happening in each of their worlds. Time moves fast, and mom gets it.
Did you know that this generation, with our cell phones in our pockets, is the most photographed generation ever, but have very few printed photos to show for it? What will they pass down to their kids? How will they look back on their family memories as technologies change? Show their grandchildren?

The G family understands this. Their house is full of the photos we have taken together and I can’t help but smile when I see all their sweet faces proudly displayed. It gives children a sense of belonging and a confidence that they know they are loved.
So, I will say it again.

When I arrived home after our session, mom sent me a photo from one of our first times together. (this is a photo of a photo) Gah! Where does the time go? I had to include it in this post, just to show how time marches on, when you might not be looking. But wow, to have this reminder displayed everyday is the most precious thing ever. I love what I do.
Just look at them now!

When it feels like you’ve exhausted all of your favourite fall locations and want something different, hit up a graffiti wall! It adds an instant pop of colour to your photos and let’s face it, it is just so fun!
The P family is always up for a little fun and I love that they were up for this adventure. The art changes constantly, so you never know what you are going to get. But the kids were so happy and just loved the gorgeous skull, classic car and what I’m calling, mother earth!

Newborn sessions are always so special and I love photographing them!
Capturing a new family in their own home, really makes the images feel intimate and unique to them, which is something I always aim for. Wrapped in the warmth and comfort of their beautiful home, T & G were able love on their new baby girl, while I enjoyed every moment preserving these moments for them.

It has been a few years since I’ve photographed this wonderful family, and in that time, their little girl has grown from a tiny baby to a happy, cheerful girl full of some of the best smiles I’ve ever seen!
After rescheduling our session earlier due to rain, this day was calling for more of the same. I was truly worried that we were going to have to reschedule yet again. But I think little I, and her smile, pushed the rain aside to make this incredible afternoon happen.

When you get to leave school early for a family photo session at a graffiti wall, how can you be anything but, “too cool for school”?
I’ve been photographing these boys their entire lives and it has been amazing to watch them grow up and see the relationship they have with each other. They really know how to be silly and make each other laugh!

It is always a treat to meet up with the P family every year. Each time I see the kids, they have grown a little more and have a little more to say to me! In almost ten years of photographing them, I’ve really come to enjoy our sessions and to catch up on what they have been doing for the last year. I get to hear about their classes and friends, their likes and the things they are doing. I think that is pretty special.

If you got engaged in 2019, there was no way to plan and prepare for a wedding, knowing there was a global pandemic looming around the corner. So many couples were faced with hard decisions in 2020, including Sarah & Nathan. As their wedding date drew closer, in the summer of 2020 they made the decision to delay their day a full year, with the hope of better and safer times ahead.
And it was totally worth it in the end! On a day that called for rain, not a drop was to be found. Surrounded by friends and family, on the beautiful Orchardview Wedding site, south of Ottawa, Sarah and Nathan said their “I do’s”. The saying “all good things come to those who wait” certainly proved to be so for these two. Congratulations S & N!
