Baby Thomas: 5 weeks old

Back in July I had the chance to meet a beautiful little baby boy named Thomas. At 5 weeks old, he was still so small and cuddly, and absolutely adorable! I went over to his house to take the photos and it was such a delight seeing his parents beaming with such joy – they are head over heels in love with him and it’s easy to see why! We took some photos inside the house, but we also went out in the yard for a few shots, and he was completely mesmorized by the bright sky and the tree leaves moving in the wind! What an absolute cutie, and together with his parents they make such an adorable little family.

Félicitations Nathalie et Scott, Thomas est un vrai trésor!

Family Portraits with the Dunsires

For the past 3 years I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Candace and Craig’s growing family and it’s been such a treat seeing their little boys grow up! This year, they chose a few spots around Wolseley as their backdrop and we had a ton of fun getting formal and informal shots of the whole crew. It was particularly hot an humid, but the boys did amazingly well (as always!). They love running around and having fun for the candid shots, but they also listen so well for the posed shots – so great!

Candace has also been following the progression of my growing family too, doing our family portraits over the past 3 years as well. It’s awesome having such a talented photography friend like her! Soon you’ll be seeing my photos online soon… I can’t wait to see what she pulled off with us at our shoot!

For now, here are some highlights from their photo shoot… enjoy!

Lisa + Matt: Wedding at the Winnipeg Art Gallery

I had the great pleasure of taking Lisa & Matt’s wedding photos back in July on a picture-perfect summer day in Winnipeg. These two guys were absolutely gorgeous together – Lisa radiated elegance and beauty, and her spiffy groom Matt was a perfect match for her! I spent the day with them and their wedding party, having fun with photos at the Legislative Building, the Hamilton Building and at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Everyone was having a blast together and it was awesome to see their friends and family coming together with them to celebrate their love.

We started with a first look, followed by family photos and wedding party photos, and we finished the afternoon with a beautiful rooftop wedding ceremony at the WAG. Every little detail had come together so beautifully, and when the time came for Lisa and Matt to exchange vows, everyone’s eyes were glued on them. They are absolutely adorable to see together (couple portraits were my favourite!), but seeing them exchange their vows certainly didn’t leave very many people with dry eyes. Their love is deep, genuine and heart-felt – it’s hard not to get wrapped up in their story and celebrate alongside with them on their big day. They’re the perfect duo and I couldn’t be happier for them. Congratulations Lisa & Matt!!

Gross Family Photo Session

 

Earlier in July I hopped in the car and headed a few kilometres out of Winnipeg to the Gross family home for a multi-family photo session. When I arrived I was greeted by a super warm and welcoming family in a huge house with an abundance of kids, activity and lots of love! Everyone had come together for a summer family gathering and it was the perfect occasion to get some photos of the whole crew (minus one person missing – but 26 out of 27 ain’t bad!). It’s always so special being able to get such a big family all in for photos, especially all the cute grandkids with their grandparents. It was a beautiful session and it was awesome to see them enjoying their time together so much. Here’s a snippet of the photos we took on that day!

Roslyn + Brett: Wedding at Fort Gibraltar, Winnipeg

Early July was packed with weddings and I’m so glad that I was able to fit Roslyn & Brett’s wedding into my schedule on short notice! Their wedding day turned out absolutely perfectly – no rain, which meant the ceremony at Fort Gibraltar was a go outside in an absolutely stunning setting. The guests arrived and the intimate ceremony played out beautifully on the East side of the Fort walls. The lunch reception followed immediately after and everyone enjoyed the delicious meal (and the hilarious speeches!). We then took some fun family photos just outside la maison du Bourgeois followed by “just married” photos of Roslyn and Brett in and around Fort Gibraltar. We continued the wedding portraits at the impressive Dalnavert Museum downtown and then we finished on the patio of Stella’s Café. Absolutely delightful! I loved every moment of it!

Not only were the locations fantastic, but Roslyn and Brett are such lovely people to spend time with and even more to photograph! It was such a pleasure being able to see them get married and to celebrate with their closest friends and family. There was a warmth and ease to the whole day, and the love that was felt was not just between the two of them – it was all around everyone at the wedding and it’s evident to see they have an amazing community surrounding them.

Roslyn and Brett – you are an impeccable match and I’m honoured to have been able to capture your wedding day! I hope you will cherish these photos for many years to come… congratulations!
