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.

Elmira Family Photographer. Special gift

This family is pretty much awesome.  They have come together because of love and I couldn't be prouder to photograph them.  I think it's pretty apparent how much fun they have together.

E and D, thank you so much for trusting me to photograph these very important moments for you.  I was a pleasure to chase your sweet girl around.  Please enjoy a few of my favourites.

Elmira Newborn Photographer. Big Brothers

To say I've neglected, forgotten paused from the blog over the last couple months is a huge understatement.  Honestly, just like all of you, my August and September are very busy prepping and starting the back to school routine again.  But here I am, back at the blogging and with two gorgeous newborn sessions.And both with older brothers!

I love newborns and being able to create stunning wall pieces for my clients.  These sessions were just as fun to capture the baby as it was to capture the older, and very energetic brothers.

Please enjoy a few of my favourites.

Waterloo Family Photographer. Grandma's Experience.

What do you give someone who has everything? Someone who doesn't have the space to have "stuff"?  Someone who you love so dearly?  These were the questions that Lydia had when her grandmother turned 90 years young. 

Lydia contacted me and we made a plan to give her grandmother a great experience and some amazing photos of her with her great-granddaughter.  Lydia, Steve, Abigail and Grandma visited at her retirement residence and spent some time in the lovely patio area and in her room. 

Honestly Grandma was fun and so sweet.  She reminded me of my great grandmother.  I wish I had thought to have that experience with her before she past away. 

Lydia and Steve, thank you for sharing your wonderful family with me.  I was so honoured to meet your grandmother and little Abigail was the sweetest.  Please enjoy a few of my favourites from your session.
