One of the more exciting parts of being a wedding photographer is getting the news that past wedding clients of mine are now expecting their first baby. It seems to be happening a lot lately, and I totally love seeing everything come full circle… the love of two people now transitioning into the amazing world of becoming parents. It’s a whole new dimension of love – one that you cannot prepare for and one that you cannot fully appreciate until you’re right in the middle of it. Having recently experienced it for myself, it’s totally way beyond anything my husband and I could have ever imagined and it’s nothing short of mind-blowing. And to photograph it for other parents is truly a huge honour.
Introducing Gemma – this beautiful little pink bundle of cuteness is the pride and joy of Courtney and Cole. Their love is growing into a new dimension and it was awesome being able to capture it for them. Congratulations you guys, she totally lit up the room!

When my daughter turned 1 year old, we did a fun photo session at the studio to mark the occasion. After we had finished our “main” photo session (seen here), we were getting ready to leave and I just couldn’t resist catching some of these candid moments in her little white diaper shirt. She is so unbearably cute – and YES, even though I’m with her practically 24 hours a day, her cuteness just never gets old!! These photos are from a while back, but as part of my catching-up-on-blogging goes, these get posted today, on Valentine’s day. She has my heart. Je t’aime beaucoup, beaucoup, beaucoup.

In the past year and a bit I’ve had some new opportunities to photograph my aunt’s family. My aunt (who’s married to my mom’s brother) is the type of person every family needs. She’s got spunk, she says it for what it is, yet she’s sensitive to people’s needs and has a heart full of grace. And, in the past year, it’s like she “discovered” me as a photographer and has been hiring me for several family shoots on her side of the family! I know she’s always been a fan of my work, but it’s just lately that she’s been planning all these awesome photo shoots. And never a dull moment with them! I love it!
This was a multi-family photo session at the Legislative building on Christmas Eve, and although I have many, many photos I’d love to blog, here is a small(ish) preview. Let’s start it off with my “cool” uncle and his understanding boys. (Um, or should I say men? Those are my KID cousins and now they’re in suits and are all clean-shaven! I remember holding the tallest one as a baby and babysitting them! Ack! Am I old or what??!)
I hope you enjoy. And I hope to have a chance to photograph these guys many more times. Love you all!

I’ve been waiting FOREVER to post these photos on my blog and today is finally the big day! These photos were taken of my lovely little niece earlier in December as a surprise Christmas gift for both sets of grandparents. I was under strict orders not to blog this set (let alone talk about this cute shoot!) to my parents until after the photos were given at Christmas. Well, Christmas came and went and the busyness of a new year and falling behind on blogging came my way… which explains the long delay. So without further ado, here she is in all her irrisitable cuteness! Je t’aime Léonie!! (and no big surprise, these photos were a huge hit as a Christmas gift… wouldn’t you agree? Look at those EYES!)

Well, I took the Etsy plunge and opened a store today! I’ve seen some of my artsy friends open stores before and they seem to love being able to sell their artsy goodies online – plus, Etsy is one of my favourite go-to places on the web for creative inspiration. So the decision was an easy one! I took some photos of my fine art greeting cards this morning and had the store up and running within a half hour. I love how quick and easy it was! (and how cheesy are these! super romantic mood-lighting on cards!)
Oh, and don’t forget to stop by and say hi. 🙂
