In Bloom Maternity Session

So I’m a little behind in posting or toasting the New Year. 2011 brought many wonderful memories and I had an amazing time growing the business. For those who know me, I’m a graphic designer first, and continue to build the photography end of it. Maybe the two shall meet and join forces one day. I love them both equally and I love meeting all the wonderful clients this line of work introduces me to. Each day is different and creative.

After this year past year, I’ve decided to make some changes on the photography end. I found out that the wedding biz is not for me. I praise all you wedding photographers out there ~ it’s tough work! Creative but tough. The weddings that I did have the pleasure of shooting were amazing! I loved my couples! But what I found in my journey, was that I really like to focus on the person/family, the details of the shoot, and locations. So, for 2012, my direction will centre around families, babies & children, maternity, and new this year ~ teens/seniors! Oh and I will also be offering the LOVE shoot for you newly engaged couples.

And to launch the new year right ~ a session special dedicated to the moms-to-be, and to-be-again! Happy 2012.

 

sticks and stones

It’s true what they say… you learn from your children. Yesterday, we set out on an adventure, wagon in hand (he just likes to pull it), to explore our great surroundings. Fower, a rocka, eaves, wata, a birda, beeeeeeeg twee, a tick. No these aren’t typos, this is the wonderment in a two year olds voice. We see these same things everyday on our walks, but to him, the excitement he expresses, is like he sees them and their beauty for the first time, each time. A little lesson we could all learn from.

just another day on the farm

When I found out I was invited back to the McMullen farm for their family shoot I was e-lat-ed! I geared up in appropriate farm wear (really all I had were my red hunter wellies, I fluffed the rest) and hit the road for Goderich. The McMullen soybean farm is not only a kids playground full of exploration, an adults as well. I found myself frolicking in fields like a 5 year old scouting out locations to shoot. And there were a million of them. Here’s a glimpse inside the lives of the warm-hearted McMullen’s.

First up… Sally, Jeff and da boyz

better together

Pregnancy is such and incredible experience, and how lucky are these two that they get to do it together. Diane (the killer curly hair) is also my stunning sister-in-law due in January, and her BFF Sue, expecting baby number two, is due any day now. The colours are so rich this time of year, pair  that with the glowing light from the lovely mamas-to-be, made for a perfect session.
