Elmira Family Photographer. Family Wall Gallery 2014

I love photographing families and the special connections they have.  And one of my most favourite parts of my job is helping them design and build a family wall gallery so that they can enjoy these moments everyday.  I use a state of the art design software so we are using their walls and their images all sized to scale!  My clients walk away with a great plan and if they choose, beautiful products that arrive ready to hang.  Here are a few of my favourite wall groupings from 2014.

My clients send me a snapshot of their wall from their phones and then I can upload it into the software and together we create something amazing for their home. 

Elmira Family Photographer.

I'm still catching up on all my fall sessions here on the blog.  It was a windy day, but the sun came out and the resulting images were gorgeous.  The Yun family are the sweetest people and so much fun to work with.

Elmira Newborn Photographer. Loved From Head to Toe

Christmas has come and gone, however I was fortunate enough to work with a special organization this year.  Loved From Head To Toe is a newly registered charity hand knitting beautiful Santa hats for NICU babies.  Everyone needs a little Christmas cheer.

Back in the fall, we invited 4 new babies to my home studio to photograph them in LFH2T Santa hats for use in their marketing, website and fundraising campaigns.  It was a fun session with lots of mommy talk and 4 beautiful little babies.

Congratulations to LFH2T for being granted full charitable status.  They continue to seek donations (financial, yarns, knitters) for their continued projects.

Blue Mountain family photographer. Sisters!

I would consider this family my friends - and yes, that may seem weird considering that I've likely only talked with them a handful of times.  But they are quite literally awesome!
They welcomed these 2 beautiful girls into their lives in the last couple of years and created a family.  The girls are fun, spunky and so kind!  They love each other the way any 2 sisters would and I don't think that could ever change.  Please help them celebrate  adoption awareness month with 30 ways to celebrate adoption.

Amanda and Ken, thank you for allowing me to photograph your family at Blue Mountain.  What an amazing time we had! Please enjoy a few of my favourites from your session!  And enjoy them with your new{ish} family.

Guelph Family Photographer. From belly to baby

Ahhh!  I just love this family.  They are so kind, friendly, and pretty much wonderful.  I was so honoured to photograph baby H when he was still inside mommy's tummy (and it wasn't known whether he was a boy or girl - at least to me) and then again once he arrived!

We spent an evening at Riverside Park in Guelph and ran around in the grass and played on the playground and I found a beautiful spot along the trail to photograph sweet little S - those curls!

Then I came back to their home for H's newborn session when he was less than 2 weeks old.  He needed lots of feeding and cuddling and so I had some time to photograph their 9 year old lab and of course sweet S again.  We also needed some time for clean up when, not once, but twice, H decided to wee on daddy.

Rebecca and Chris,  Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home.  I really appreciate your kind words about my photography, my business and listening to my sometimes crazy ideas.  Your feedback is invaluable and I will continue to use the word "artistic-ey" and credit you, Chris.  Please enjoy a few of my favourites from our 2 sessions.

Kitchener Photographer. The Generous Host

I'm so excited to partner with The Generous Host for this years Christmas Card Special.  I had a chance to meet with Renee Peers (who is as generous as her business name) and visit her shop  on Saturday.  She is located just steps from the Kitchener Market and she offers adorable single serve desserts, custom hand painted pillows and beautiful home accents and gift ideas. 

Although I only had my phone when I went to meet with her, I couldn't resist capturing a few of the items in her shop.  Also, you may notice I don't have a photo of those desserts I mentioned...well I ate my sample up pretty quickly!  But you should go check her out and have a taste!

If you like what you see, please visit her at 18 Eby street south in Kitchener.

Elmira Family Photographer. Rain, Rain, Go Away

I didn't just get to photograph this family once but twice.  We can thank mother nature (and a tornado watch) for causing us to cut our first session short.  And we were working on a time frame because some of the family was visiting from beautiful British Columbia.  But rain it did, so we met a few evenings later to catch some sunshine and more great photographs. 

Humes, not only are you an awesome family, but an easy one to photograph.  Thank you so much for the fun evenings.  The kids were great - the big kids too.  Please enjoy a few of my favourites.
