Mr and Mrs. Moloney

From the moment I met them, I felt liked, not just a little liked, a LOT liked. And I really liked them back. The entire wedding day I felt like I was a part of the family. Rachel and Sean, I could feel your love radiating towards each other. You two are so extremely loved by all of your family and friends. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day. It is a day I won't soon forget.
Here are some of my favourites from the day.

Love this shot of Rachel and her daddy.

My balcony view.

Trust me, it was not difficult AT ALL to get these guys to take their pants off!

Eskimo Kisses.

Seriously, best gift ever. Sean had this gift sent over to Rachel while she was getting ready. He had saved each and every love note that she had given him and made a collage and had it framed. Good thing I had the camera to hide behind! *tear*

Classic. Soooooooo pretty.

America's Next Top What? Week 2

So this week on America's Next Top Model, the girls had to be suspended in midair, while looking like a fallen angel, all the while hanging off of a hot piece of man meat (one of the girls called him that). Unfortunately for you, I did not have a man to hang off of, and fortunately for me, I was not able to get anybody willing to suspend me. So, here is my interpretation of this weeks shoot. Shoot? Seriously, shoot me now, whose dumb idea was this anyways?

Wee 'lil men

Brogan and Lennon are so close in age that their mommies decided to have their photos taken together.
So much fun. Little Lennon got his first taste of sand, and Little Brogan got his first hate on for the camera. He warmed up to me though, it just took a while.

America's Next Top What?

I hate having my picture taken. There, I said it. I am a photographer and I despise having anyone take my photo. I will hide behind others, I will turn my back, I will literally run if I have to, all to get away from someone with a camera. If I'm with my girls and I've had a couple of beverages, I can do it, I don't like it, but I'll do it.  I have decided that I would like to LIKE to have my picture taken. I think it will make me a better photographer and it will show to those I photograph that if I can do it, so can they. SO, here is my project. I am in love with America's Next Top Model.  Not the reality, catty girls being girls part, but the photography. I love watching an ugly duckling transform into something of sheer beauty. My project is for me to shoot myself doing the same photoshoot that the girls are doing each week. It will not be perfect, it will be dorky, you may even laugh out loud. But, if I gain just a teeny, tiny iota of self-confidence from this, then it is totally worth it.

This week was "Bully Week". Each girl had to choose a word that they felt was used towards them growing up that make them feel small. Then, they had to pick a word that gave them freedom from that word, no longer making that flaw something ugly, but turning it to beauty.

My childhood teasing word is "FRECKLE FACE". My freedom from that word would be "BEAUTY MARKS".

Here I go, here is my first self-portrait, feel free to turn back now, ready?

The Bennett Family

These kids are stinkin cute. Blue eyes (and brown), blond hair, and flawless skin to boot. (I'm going to have to google that saying now as it does look odd in writing...to boot....).  Thank you so much for having me to your gorgeous home, you have beautiful surroundings and a stunning family.

Logging off

I am logging of for the weekend as I'm spending the weekend with my BFF's doing our annual "girl's weekend" This year we are heading to Blue Mountain to go Zip Lining and many other fun stuff.

Chow for now. And with that, I leave you some of my favourite photos from "girls weekend" past.
Now the funny thing is if you zoom in to this photo you will see that I've dropped my oar and I've already started to plug my nose, knowing full well that we are not going to make it. And lo and behold, we didn't make it!!!!

Wellman Family

The Wellman family were a lot of fun.  They came referred from Rhiannon, a recent client.Three teenagers and lots of giggles later we got what I thought were some fantastic photos of their personalities. Someone spray painted our beach lighthouse which I'm so not impressed with, but we made do.

Kelly Rocked the Frock

Kelly got married and had one of my most favourite wedding photographers out there Mark Rideout shoot her wedding. Such a lucky duck. I was super excited when she asked me to shoot her Trash the Dress or what I prefer "Rock the Frock" session. It was so much fun. Kelly was willing to do anything I asked of her and more. I think she got a little more than she bargained for when a great big, ginormous, rotting white fish floated up beside her. Hehe, sorry, but it was Lake Ontario.

The Grattons

Sometimes I scare children. I don't mean to. I don't try to. BUT, I think I do. I have a big black "Canon" stuck to my face and I'm aiming it at them.  I don't blame them one little bit for not liking me sometimes.  These sweet girls didn't really take to me the first time we got together. The second time, they were much more accepting. Thanks girls.
