Quemby Family

I had the pleasure of hooking up with the Quemby family yesterday down at the Nuwatain Conservation Park. There were snapping turtles, snakes, and loads of hissing geese. We were surrounded by God's beauty and not so beauty (holy moly geese poo!) Thank you Quemby kids, you were true troopers, and it was a pleasure taking your pictures. I'm so happy you finally have a family picture after all these years.

Family Fun

Tanya and I were what people call "fast friends". As soon as we starting talking, we both knew that we were going to hit it off.  Tanya was newish to the Cobourg area and joined the women's soccer league, which landed her on my team (sorry for your luck!). Right away, we were friends. Then, we were lucky enough to score being on the same team again last year. Hopefully our soccer convener will be reading this, and put us on the same team again this year..... (hint, hint Yvonne).
Well it was time for Tanya to get her family portraits done, so we headed to Cobourg Beach just as the sun was going down....sooooo pretty. Look at all of these gorgeous girls. FOUR to be exact!! Poor Wally has to live with 5 girls (no wonder he works so much) :)  Thank you so much for letting me capture these memories for you. I hope you enjoy. xoxo

Oh the Anticipation!

Being pregnant can be one of the most wondrous and magical adventures that you can ever experience.

You look forward to your baby's arrival in this world with huge anticipation.

You long for the day when you can finally physically carry your baby in your arms and look at your baby in the eyes.

This day is coming very soon for Sonia.  I wish you a healthy and love-filled life little one!

Hurry up and get here, your mama is waiting!

I have some exciting news to share!! Late last Thursday evening I received a rather cryptic phone call from a highschool friend. She asked if I could dress kind of nice, bring my camera, and meet her at Victoria Hall at 2pm. Since I no longer have a day job (yay me!) I said "of course". Arrangements changed a bit beforehand and I met her at her house instead. I had let myself in and was waiting for her. Upon her arrival there was a bustle of activity, her two daughters were super excited and dolled all up. They told me they were heading out for a very special fancy dinner date. My friend asked me to take the girls upstairs and get their dresses on. A few rushed moments later, the girls were dressed and ready to go. THEN, the big surprise! My friend walked up the stairs in.......her WEDDING GOWN. Sandra was eloping!! The girls were sooo excited, they were crying and shrieking shrieks of joy! We headed to our town hall where her groom was patiently waiting (we of course were late). It was a very sweet ceremony and I was honored to capture their special day. Sandra, I wish you and Max the most glorious days of your lives. You truly, truly deserve it.











How sweet are these two girls???





I love her face in this shot!

First Post

Wow! Life is a whirlwind! This is my very first post for my very first blog. Since I am the world's biggest procrastinator and I can't seem to start a website, I thought I'd give blogging a try. Please be patient with me as I truly will just have to wing it. I'm going to post a few of my summer and fall shoots and then will update regularly with my whirlwind life :) Stay tuned....

This most recent shoot was loads of fun. The wee little guy definitely kept me on my toes. I was entertained with skateboarding, biking, and LOTS of leaves.
