growing families

I've had the pleasure of knowing this couple since we were in jr. high... (yes all the way back then!) Throughout the years we've maintained contact and it's been fun watching their family grow. Now with baby number 3 here, I was asked to take a few pictures to celebrate this occasion before his arrival. This absolutely gorgeous family was a dream to shoot. The interaction between them was so loving and calm, exuding love and adoration for each other. These two were pro's in front of the camera, feeding off each other and creating connections only real love can convey. We also included their two other children and had some fun family style. Lots of laughs and fun. Pure family sweetness. 

We did the majority of the session in their master bedroom which had windows all across the one side. This amount of light helped create such a light and airy feeling that keeps the focus on them.  Truly a dream setting and I can't wait to get back there this weekend to capture some some more with their new little baby.

I will start to blog again.... I will start to blog again...

I will start to blog again

I could write that 100 times. I SHOULD write that over and over again until it becomes a normal occurrence. 

Hey guys,

it has been too long. I have been really terrible at keeping up this end of things. I'm not sure why it happened, being too busy shouldn't be an excuse, but really thats the only thing I can think of. 

I've just recently purchased a brand new MacBook Air, and now have no excuse. I can work from anywhere. So I will. I always love going through other photos blogs, seeing the photos, reading the posts, feeling the emotional connection to the story they are telling. I understand that blogs really do make a difference. So without further ado, I will be back blogging... (once I have my files transferred over to this) 

I have lots of shoots to catch up on, and lots of upcoming ones to be excited about. I will be back and will have something up (with photos) soon!

Sweet baby Maisie

I have the pleasure of knowing this beautiful family through my main man... (haha) Michelle is one of his cousins.  I was pretty happy when she asked me to take their maternity and newborn photos. We had had huge success at our maternity one, I loved the way the photos turned out, showcasing their love, and Michelle's amazing bump. 

Miss Maisie was born june 1st and we scheduled the photos to be done on june 13th which just happens to be my birthday! I was super excited as well to be one of the first ones to meet this little girl, and man was she sweet. Such a petit little girl, with very delicate features. She cried for a little bit at first, but then was so good for her first shoot. if you know me, you know I love to capture a good screaming shot. I feel like this is what these babies do for the first little bit. Scream, exercise their lungs, so I like to showcase a couple of those shots. They're definitely fun to look back on! She soon settled down and and the rest was smooth sailing, big brother Rowan was super sweet and cute with so much love for his little "mae mae'  We were even able to go outside to their garden for a few photos, which was so nice! That extra little personal touch to their photos is something I always try to do. 

Here's some of my favourites from the day
