Josh, Brandon, & Vanessa

Josh
Pre-Mission Session
with Brandon, Vanessa, & Sherry
June 18, 2008

I am very proud of two young men I know (my brother Brandon & his good friend Josh) who have chosen to put their 19-year-old lives on hold for 2 years to serve a 2-year mission for their church. In just a few weeks, Josh is headed to Ireland, & Brandon to California. It was a lot of fun to get together with them to take some pictures that Josh's mom had requested, of them before they leave for their missions. During the session we also got a chance to take some pictures of Josh's sister, Vanessa as well as their mom, Sherry.

There were so many photos from the session that I loved, but I tried to narrow it down to just a few favourites for the blog.

My husband & I had a busy day on June 7th, sharing Jenna & Colin's wedding day with them. I loved being there to be able to document the special moments of the first day of their married life together. They are back from their honeymoon now, so I'm letting out this sneak peak for them before they get to see all of their proofs. Congratulations to you both, it was so lovely to be a part of your wedding!

The younger kids were having a blast dancing!

At Home
2 Weeks Old

Almost exactly one month ago, I did a maternity session with Frieda. I was excited to be able to take newborn pictures of her baby, Grace, and boy was she cute! I couldn't believe how little she was.

Sad! Right as Frieda soothed her with her finger to suck on
(the picture above is of the happy Grace that followed ;)




I don't always like selective colouring, but I tried it on this one & kinda like it :)




Here is a Parts Poster that I designed with some photos from this session:

Brantford, Ontario

Brandon & I went downtown Brantford to get some urban shots. I've been wanting to play with textures a little bit, & thought this would be a good opportunity. Unfortunately, it was very cold, so we'll have to do this again sometime when it's warmer! .

Due in 3 days!

This morning I did my first maternity session. It was great! I was happy to arrive at Frieda's place to see brightly coloured walls & a frosted-over window that would make great backdrops! It didn't hurt that she's one of the cutest pregnant ladies around.

Ben's Parts Poster

In December I was contacted by the father of 'Baby Ben' who I photographed in October. He was ordering a Parts Poster for his wife for Christmas. Now that it's January & I can safely post it without ruining the surprise, here is the Parts Poster I designed for them:
