Kitchener Waterloo Family Portraits. West Montrose covered bridge

I've done a few sessions at the West Montrose Kissing Bridge, but never one quite like this.  The weather was... well, questionable most the day.  Melanie and I talked on the phone about what we should do and the forecast changed for the better as we spoke.  And it turned out that the sun came out, the winds calmed and it was truly beautiful light for a family session.  This family is funny, spunky (ahem Miss L), kind and really wonderful to work with.

Melanie and Mike, it was so lovely to meet you and your 2 kiddos.  I really had a great time running around and getting to know each of you a little better.  Please enjoy a few of my faves from the session.

Elmira Family Photographer. Growth in every sense of the word

I have the pleasure of photographing this family nearly every year and I love working with them.  They bring their best to every session and it makes me happy to have that level of commitment from them.  Some people would say that it's only photographs - but they realize that we're doing more than capturing the likeness of their children.  We are capturing their true selves - their spunky, independent nature, their fun relationship with dad, their gravitation towards mom at this age, and their beautiful smiley faces.  We don't say cheese in my world - we actually laugh. 

Jeremy and Kelly,  Thank you for bringing me into your world and for allowing me to capture your kids - Jamie's reserved cuteness and Kate's complete takeover of her world.  It makes me happy to see your family displayed on the walls of your home and the way you value it as art - they truly are pieces of art in every sense of the word.  Please enjoy a few of my favourites from our session.

She smiled, he laughed - West Montrose Wedding Photographer

She beamed as she approached him.  He stood, waiting for his future bride.  His gorgeous, wonderful bride.  They had been planning this day for a long time, but this moment is the one they will remember.  As she grabbed his arm, he turned and saw his bride for this first time that day.  They hugged, and kissed and he cried - for she was the most beautiful girl in the world! 

It was a day that couldn't have gone better.  Full of wonderful moments, joyful experiences and friends and family to enjoy it with.  Their day was bright, fun and completely Natasha and Brad - down to the simple white cake and the bright summer colours!

Natasha and Brad, It was an honour to document your day.  Thank you for inviting us to be a part of it.  I really loved everything that was your wedding - natural, beautiful and who could beat the location?  It was a perfect, wonderful day.  Thank you!  Please enjoy a few of my favourite images from your day.

West Montrose Photographer: Winter Wonderland

When Natasha, Brad, and I first met - it was like love at first sight!  Their wedding sounded incredible, fun and exactly my style.  I do a select number of weddings each year, and theirs is at the top of my list.  When I suggested "winter wonderland" photos for their engagement session, they jumped at it.  In fact, I think it was actually their idea!

So when the fluffy white stuff started to fall on Sunday, we went for it.  We frolicked, we threw snowballs, but mostly, we had fun!  Lots and lots of fun.

Natasha and Brad, It was a pleasure to photograph the two of you.  I had a great time and I can't wait to continue the fun this summer!  Please enjoy a few of my faves!

Elmira Children's Photographer - West Montrose covered bridge photography

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.  ~Anthony J. D'Angelo, The College Blue Book

Every year in June or July, I meet up with Amie and Pieter.  It always seems to be one of the hottest days of the year and I secretly wish we were having ice cream during the shoot.  This year was no exception.  With temps and humidex soaring over 40 C (over 110 F for our neighbours to the south) for most of the week, it was a hot photoshoot.  But Amie and Pieter are always so amazing to photograph.  They laugh, they play with little A and they allow her and I to have some amazing photo time, just the two of us.  It makes for some spectacular images.  Each year little A seems so different, yet so much the same.  Her cute shoes, adorable blonde hair and special touches: this year it was the rose in her hair and her curls.  It's something amazing that Amie and Pieter can hold onto as she grows up, and something she can share with her own kids some day. 

Amie and Pieter, I had so much fun shooting with you and your little beauty again this year.  She was awesome and fun and so adorable.  Can't wait to meet your newest addition in the fall!  Please enjoy a few of my favourites.
