Worth the wait! {Brampton Family Photography}

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Meet Jen & Shawn (which, coincidentally are the names of my husband and I):

SP06

First came love. They met 8 years ago. Then came marriage (5 years ago)!

Then came Chase, a beautiful Golden Retriever!

SP01

Then came Hayley and Hannah in baby carriages (but not at the same time!).

I really adored photographing this family today. We were supposed to get together back in June but due to rain & illnesses, today ended up being photo shoot day. We had perfect weather for it too, and the girls enjoyed watching the ducks and playing in the river! Thanks so much for having me out today! I look forward to many years of pictures with your family! I hope you love your sneak peek!

A Beautiful Family {Milton Family Photographer}

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

Today I went out to Milton, Ontario to photograph this gorgeous family!  Melanie was referred to me by my friend Maureen, (go visit her new website) and I am so thankful for this opportunity!  Turns out Melanie and I attended the same high school, although we never met.  I was in the same grade as her sister though.  Small world, huh?

Anyway, on to the good stuff.  Their beautiful daughter is just 8 weeks old and decided to take a nap half way through our session.  Her big brother Dante was a superb model, and mom and dad weren’t too shabby either!  Thanks so much for having me out today Melanie and Lawrence!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Happy 25th Anniversary! {Brampton Family Photographer}

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Last week I was contacted by Julia.  She had a fabulous idea for her parent’s 25th anniversary – family portraits!  It truly is the gift that keeps on giving, you know.  Every time you look at the wall, you see your gorgeous children every day.  This is especially important when 2 of your 3 children are away at school most of the year!

Tonight we had our session.  What a lovely family, and such a beautiful backyard!  You can tell that this house is full of love and joy.  Not only can you see it in their faces, but in their home also.  Thanks so much for having me out tonight and for choosing me as your photographer for this wonderful gift!  I hope you love your sneak peek!

First, mom and dad:

Now, with their three beautiful daughters!

Individually – for their Facebook profiles of course!

Last but not least, one of their beloved cats, Nala.

A LIttle Fall of Rain {Bolton Baby Photographer}

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

Today I headed up to Bolton to meet Stella and her family.  We went to Dick’s Damn Park to capture these sweet shots!  I had to mention the name of the park because it was just too funny not too!  When I checked the weather on Friday, we were all clear for a nice day for pictures, however, mother nature had a mind of her own today.  We managed to get the pictures done in about 20 minutes, and that’s about the same time the sky opened up on us!

Thanks Vince and Paula for having me out today and for braving the rain with me!  Stella is getting more and more beautiful every day!

Rock n’ Roll!!! {Burlington Family Photography}

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

Today I had the pleasure of photographing Tiffany of TravelFamily.ca and her lovely family! Tiffany was the lucky recipient of a free family session through a contest I ran in conjunction with Wondermoms.ca which is a family resources website based in Oakville, but becoming known EVERYWHERE!

I really wanted to do a beach session, and being that Tiffany had agreed to meet me half way between her home and mine, I choose Burlington. I don’t really know the area that well, so when I arrived at the location I discovered that it was a very rocky terrain…in other words there was no beach, just rocks. Can you say ouch? Tiffany and her family were great sports though, and we got some fabulous images! I’ve put together a collage of some of my favourites for their sneak peek.

Now, let’s see some of these close up, plus a few candid shots I got!

Thank you so much Tiffany and family for meeting me in Burlington for your session!  I had a fabulous time, and it was a real pleasure to meet your family!  We must try to do coffee some day.  I think you and I would have A LOT to chat about!  :)

Evening light! {Brampton Family Photographer}

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

I was so happy when Despina said she wanted to do an evening session.  It truly is the best light!  As you’ll see, it just warms up the skin so lovingly, and you can get some awesome sunflare too.  Despina and Dave have two gorgeous children, and I had a great time chasing after them with my camera.  They did stay still long enough for some pictures, and here are a few of my favourites!  Thank you Despina and Dave for inviting me into your world tonight.  I hope you love your sneak peek!

All done Jr. Kindergarten!

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I can’t believe an entire school year has passed and my sweet baby girl is done for the summer. She did very well on her progress report, and we are all very proud of her!

As I watch my kids grow, I am amazed every day by the new things they learn how to do. My daughter is able to write simple words like hat, cat, mop, etc., and my son who is 18 months can feed himself very well with a fork. The spoon, on the other hand, is still a bit of a challenge! His personality has changed so much in the last couple of weeks. He shakes his head for no and nods for yes, and still ignores me when I tell him NO! Typical boy, right?

My husband and I are so proud of both of them. They are awesome kids, and here are a few pictures to prove it!

Stella!!! {Bolton Baby Photographer}

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Oh Miss Stella – you are a cutie patootie all right!  You were a doll smiling for my camera with the help of mom and dad singing “itsy bitsy spider”!  It makes me want to bring a video camera with me to photo sessions so I can capture what moms and dads do to make a baby laugh!  We were having so much fun that Paula and Vince were making me laugh too!

Thanks so much for having me out on Saturday.  I’m so glad the rain stayed away for us too!  I hope you love your sneak peek!

Say Hi to Chloe! {Bolton Newborn Photographer}

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Today I had the lovely pleasure of meeting Chloe and her wonderful family.  Chloe has the most adorable big sister who I can tell is going to be like a 2nd mom in the house!  She loves her little sister so much – I think she mentioned it at least 3 times while I was there.  Chloe also has two wonderful parents who so warmly welcomed me into their home.  Thank you for having me out today!  I hope you love your sneak peek.

A gift for mom! {Brampton Family Photographer}

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

Today I had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family.  Angie, sporting her little black dress (gorgeous isn’t she?) is a lovely friend of mine and the owner of In Bloom, a floral design company specializing in weddings.  We have been talking about doing family pictures since last year and finally we were able to get together today to get them done which was a birthday gift for her mom from the whole family.  We It was a pleasure to meet her brother and his family also.  Thanks so much for having me out!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
