Family Portraits (My Sister's Family)

My sister, Hilary, and her family were in town last month
(she lives in the U.S. and I LOVE it when her family comes back to Canada!)

We scheduled in some time to do family portraits while she was here, and despite an injured toe (poor little Sierra!) and a wandering Brooklyn, we managed to get some keepers :)


I love this one of Sierra with her beautiful, wispy hair floating in the breeze, and that cute, real little smile on her face- busy with her own thoughts, not distracted by my camera :)


The adorable miss Brooklyn (she has grown so much since these!)







Still just as gorgeous as they were the day they were wed ;)



I'm glad we got the chance to do these :) Hope to see you guys again real SOON! :)

Baby Laura

At Home
3 Weeks Old

My friend Frieda had her second baby girl last month and I was excited that she wanted me to take photos of their new arrival. She's a sweet, tiny little thing, and I'm looking forward to watching her grow up, and getting some more photos along the way :)


For whatever reason, I just love this shot. There's something about that little baby head being cradled in a parents' hands that I love.



It doesn't seem like too long ago that I photographed Laura's sister, Grace, when she was just 2 weeks old. Look at her now!





Well, I'm off to work on a Parts Poster for Laura now. I just wanted to share a few of my favourites first. I'll be back with a few before & afters to share from this session in a day or two.

I was really glad that I did a little photo shoot of my daughter this year, before Halloween, in her costume. She wasn't really in the mood for photos on the 31st, so I'm really happy that I have these shots of her in her fairy cuteness. This was her 3rd Halloween, & first time choosing her own costume.

Janet contacted me about having family pictures done last winter in time for Christmas. Well, life got in the way and we finally got to do her family's session this month! They are a gorgeous, happy family and it was a lot of fun to take pictures for them. We got rained out at the end of the session, but I think we managed to get a lot of keepers while we were there. Thanks, Dan & Janet, for having me do your photos- I hope you love them!

I couldn't resist this shot showing Janet's face when it started to pour on us!

I'm Thankful For...

In the spirit of American Thanksgiving, one of my favourite wedding photographers (Jessica Claire) put on a photo contest through her blog. I decided to enter a photo of my daughter as a person that I'm thankful for, and although I didn't win the contest, I was excited to see that my photo showed up on her blog!

If you want to check out all of the 'thankfulness' photos that she posted, you can check it out here (and see if you can find my daughter among all the other cute little kids ;)
