Month: September 2009

Some children are just meant to be photographed - and quite often it is the shy, quite type, like Maryn. These two offer up some serious beauty. ...

This cute shot of little Sophia just had to be blogged. She was photographed as part of our annual mini-session day. It was a special session as I photographed her parent's wedding two years ago and it was great to have their new addition in front of the camera. If you know her mom and dad, you...

Tia and Shaun were a last minute addition to our summer schedule, a welcome addition. A week before their wedding they found themselves without a photographer. Tia's maid-of-honor  Darragh, put a 911 call in to me on the Monday before the Sunday wedding - saying no just wasn't an option,...

Christine and Richard chose Sarah McLachlan's song Ordinary Miracle as their wedding song. John and I were just listening to it and realized it is a perfect wedding song. I am actually quite surprised I haven't heard it before at a wedding - I like that it isn't your typical wedding song, as it...

"The best birthdays are those that haven't arrived yet." - Robert OrbenTrue or False?Well in Maggie's case you could argue either way. Today Maggie turns 8. Today the quote is false , today is her best birthday. However, a few  years ago I would have argued true. There was a time when Maggie's...

Just a quick sneak peek as Grayson's mom is coming to the studio in just a few days to view all the photos. This is my fave. We have lots of smiley ones, but I often gravitate towards the images with that show just a little peak of a quirky smirk - just like this one. What a handsome fella'. Thanks...

A little gift came our way this week in the form of Lisa and Dru. For over a year Theresa and I have been having phone chats about their Miracle Beach elopement and her bubbly fun-loving personality and excitement for the day was contagious. As Christine and I headed out to meet them I was telling...

I have wonderful clients. They are kind, fun, beautiful and they care about others. So, when Eva called and asked if I could help her out by spreading the word about the fundraiser she was involved in for Ovarian Cancer of course I was in.In talking with her I realized how unaware I was about...

I love my job! I could list the reasons, or you could just hop down to the photos of the beauty that is Tara + Daryl and you will know why. But first, let me digress. My blog serves many purposes. In my opinion, when choosing a wedding photographer there are three many things...

This morning I sent off a child to Grade 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 - plus John went off to college. It is quiet. Normally I am very sentimental on the first day of school and excited about the fall routine, but today I am just kind of bummed. This summer was one of the best. With John not at school or work...

August 29th was going to be part of my holiday time, so I did not take any wedding commissions, but then Jane called. Jane, who seduced me with her passion for photography, great style and sense of humour, was marrying Patrick at the Kingfisher and I just knew this was a wedding I didn't want to...

My heart skips a beat when I head off to shoot a grad session, maybe it is because while hanging with the grad I get to pretend I am a teenager again. I know a big part of the thrill for me, is that I find grads always have so much expression and are eager to let loose and play. Jess and I had a...

I popped out of my car covered in dirt from my previous session and I think it set the playful tone for my session with Neesja, Grant and Maya. Grant headed off to Afghanistan the morning after the session so there was a little bit of extra love in the air. This first image is a classic - the...

Early last week I had a facebook thread going and we were all hypothesizing about when fall would be here. Here's a news bulletin - it is here and I got to enjoy it while photographing Erryn, Marc, Sydney and Greer. They are a stunningly handsome family and yes, they are just as nice as they look....

I have a lot backed up to blog, as I was holding off until the new blog was up.  If you haven' t caught on yet, I am a pretty sentimental person. So as I break in the new blog, I had to start with something special.  Jen + Dave + Cody = SpecialFacts about Jen- I photographed Jen and...

This is my third incarnation of a blog and of course the one I am most thrilled with. The big draw towards this new format is the large photos and clean layout. What do you think?A few housekeeping notes:- If you are looking for the old blog you will find the link above - If you were a blog...
