If I were to be asked what my favorite part of photographing is, I would have to say, my clients. And I truly do mean that! Family after family, I am always amazed at how happy, thankful and truly awesome they all are! This latest family was no different, or actually, they were. They were even “awesomer” Take some extended family, a language barrier that actually wasn’t a barrier at all, a teenager, a preschooler, a photographer that left her brain some equipment home, some mosquitoes, humidity, a grey flat sky and then add rain to it all. You might think: what a disaster! Well, it couldn’t be further from the truth! These fine people were all about being happy, going with the flow and trying things without a negative word in sight! It couldn’t have gone better! Don’t take my word for it, check these out!

Remember little “L” and this maternity? Well, meet baby R!! She was just absolutely GORGEOUS! I mean, just LOOK at all that hair!! And there is NO taming that. NONE. It just flares out naturally! lol She was just a doll awake and asleep. Full of smiles already (barely 1 month old too!) and just putty once asleep. A-dorable. Merci la famille pour une superbe journee en votre compagnie! This is my favorite so far and I couldn’t resist posting it asap!

Remember this fantastic double maternity? Well, THE BABIES ARE HERE!! They were due about 2 weeks apart (18th & 27th) and were born just 4 days apart! As luck would have it, I got to photograph this little man yesterday at just 10 days. He is SUCH an awake baby! Aware of everything around him, not a fusser AT ALL. Can I order 3 of those? Once we finally got his tummy full {hello growth spurt feedings} he was OUT. I think the best moments of all, to me, was when he would just fall back to sleep in my arms (mom smelled WAY too good to sleep ) and when he would hear either mom or dad talk, you could totally SEE it in his eyes that he recognized their voice. AMAZING. I LOVE my job!

Because I REALLY couldn’t help myself!!

I had the unique pleasure of meeting this family just yesterday morning. Gorgeous, all of them I tell you. I may have to share a little more soon, because the grandparents were there as well and it was a tremendous success all around in my opinion. See for yourselves!

It’s been a long while since I’ve been here. I’ve been busy busy! Working on revamping my brand and hope to slowly incorporate it to the new website. Yep, new website coming, all custom made, courtesy of my very talented husband!

I had an absolute BLAST this afternoon with two very good friends of mine. They probably couldn’t have planned on timing things so perfectly, but fate had another idea. They found out they were both pregnant at about the same time with only a week or so between them! DREAM come true for these best of friends! They are expecting a boy and a girl between them, but don’t be fooled by their shirts As soon as they figured they would go through this pregnancy together, they immediately wanted to share their maternity session ! Both beautiful women with beautiful features! 

This year is all new and fresh! Nothing like a good cleaning to start things off right! I’ve gone through the calendar year and selected the weekends I will be available to photograph your family. Be quick to select your day as there are only 22 session dates available this calendar year. Exceptions can be made, babies aren’t born when we want them to now are they so there is leeway, but for those that can plan, go ahead and call to reserve your weekend session!

Also on this year’s agenda, an upcoming Newsletter, if I ever figure those out, to let you all know about the latest specials and products and what’s been happening around here. The new pricing is already in effect, just enough to cover taxes which I started paying being as this is a legitimate company and all Be on the look out for pre-made packages as well as BYO packages. What?! Build Your Own Packages! Yep! Lay down your budget and pick what you want at package pricing. Cool, right?

And what was that about new products? How about accordion books, lay flat albums, full session albums?? Did you know we already offer Gallery wrapped canvas? How about framing, well that last one might be nearing year’s end, but the thought is there. Talk about a full service photographer!

All that said, I’m just looking forward to expanding the options, while still giving to eacha nd everyone one of you the personalized service you deserve! In home photography or location of choice, personal viewing session, private online gallery, choice of personalized products, custom photographic packages, surprises and gifts depending on your package selection and then to top it off!! Personal delivery of your order to your home. Yep. All true.

Hope to meet you this year and photograph your amazing family and show everyone how truly beautiful you all are, inside and out!

I’m wishing you all the very best, very happiest and very healthiest year yet!

So here we are, the first of the new year, and where are my Holiday Cards you may be wondering… um, apparently in Toronto somewhere on some parked Purolator truck. I’m hoping they get here before Valentines Me thinks next year, they will be done and ready to send come December 1st. There’s my New Years resolution right there!

Although the calendar has been staring at me all year, and the date never wavered, this Holiday season still crept up on me. After having a very full summer, then a quite slow start to fall, I was suddenly booked solid through November within the last week of October! Usually, November is shopping month for all those last minute gifts and ideas I didn’t find throughout the year. This year, it was quite a scramble and once we hit mid-December, I realised I hadn’t even done my Christmas cards!!

Of course, as in all things last minute, I sent them to print a mere 48 hours after the print cut-off and may or may not receive them back before the year ends! We’ll see, but since this IS Christmas, here you go, our Holiday Card! Hopefully it’ll grace your mailbox before the new year, otherwise, well, it’ll get there when it can *insert sheepish grin here*

Bonjour la jolie famille!

I had the immense pleasure to get a phone call from this very French and very bubbly family. She had the sweetest voice and wasn’t expecting anything from me at all when she called three days before my official “holiday vacation” was to start. After hearing her out, I just could NOT refuse. No way, no how. And how glad am I that I didn’t!

The only very sad part… that they must go back to their native France until further notice. I’m holding out hope that they’ll be back within the year and hopefully for good
