2012 has been a year that has been both fantastic and beautiful, thanks in full to all my amazing clients! I’ve had so many wonderful opportunities to meet new people and embark on their journeys of love and joy. It is a huge blessing being able to capture so many of these treasured moments and I can’t wait for many more in 2013! THANK YOU to everyone and have a happy new year!

What’s better than photos of the grandkids? Photos with the grandparents too! The grandchild-grandparent relationship is a super special one-of-a-kind bond. When everyone is together, smiles are big and the fun is endless! I love seeing it!
When Kelly contacted me about doing another photo session with the grandkids of the family (this time on her side of the family), I was thrilled to be getting the chance to photograph her boys again. I first met her two little guys over a year ago, and although they have grown a lot in that one year, they are just as much fun and just as photogenic as ever! Now we were adding some girl cousins to the mix, and the fun doubled! (as did the cute factor!)
We were lucky to have picked one of the last beautiful weekend mornings of the Fall. The air was cool and crisp, but the sun was goldeny warm, and there was ample room for the kids to run around and have fun in their grandparents’ backyard. I had so much fun with these guys and our time together flew by so fast! Here are photos of our morning together… enjoy.
This might sound cheesy… but after I spend a full wedding day with a couple they sort of come to take a special place in my heart. And that’s just what happened with Paula & Trevor! We first met on a cold November day last year, and their September wedding seemed so far away… but the day finally came, and although it was still quite cold, they definitely warmed my hearts! (aaaawww)
Despite the chilly air, they had a gorgeous day – the leaves in the trees were just starting to change colours and every location they picked added such a great look to their wedding photo collection. Paula was absolutely stunning – her dress was fabulous and her enormous bouquet (made by Floral Elements) definitely had the wow factor! The best part was seeing Trevor completely struck by her beauty – he couldn’t stop looking at her and kissing her – I loved it! His love for her is apparent and Paula definitely shines in his presence. They’re perfect for each other!
I was with them for 10 hours – from the getting ready photos all the way to the dancing at the reception. The fun never stopped and it was an absolute delight being present at their beautiful wedding. I’ve had fun making thank you cards for them and next up is their album design. I can’t wait!
Congratulations you two – I wish you nothing but the best for many years to come!
After a couple meetings with these guys this past summer I had a good hunch that they were going to be an absolute delight to photograph. And I was right – they are completely enamored with each other and their love is so sweet and super fun! Engagement sessions are a great way of getting to know a wedding couple even more and I definitely got a good vibe from them. I know their wedding will be an amazing day and I can’t wait to be there to capture it all! We will be taking a lot of their wedding photos in St. Boniface (my childhood home!) so that will add a lot of meaning for them as much as for me. We put together a solid photo plan for their wedding day, and I can’t wait to shoot it with them. It’s going to be fun!
It’s been great connecting with them this year and now I can’t wait to continue with more photos in 2013! Félicitations Chealsea et Justin – votre amour est un vrai cadeau et j’ai hâte de vous photographier encore une fois… à bientôt!!
September is a lovely month for weddings in Winnipeg – the leaves are changing colour, the air is getting cooler and the sun is a little more golden. There definitely was romance in the air and Rachel and Daniel’s wedding played out oh-so perfectly. Rachel was a radiant bride – always smiling, always elegant and ever so beautiful. Daniel was also grinning all day, and when these two are together, sparks fly! It was an immense honour being able to witness their marriage – especially since Rachel is a long-time friend of mine and being their photographer allowed me to experience their wedding in such a meaningful way. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with their families and wedding party – everyone that is near and dear to them has a strong presence in their life and it was moving to see.
Congratulations Rachel and Daniel – the love you share is so beautiful to see and you definitely made a statement to all that was present! You are an inspiration and a blessing and I look forward to seeing your love grow in the many years to come!
