When it is all so right...

The rain doesn't matter one bit.

Beautiful bride, great family and a ton of fun.

Sweet sisters

I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones. ~Author unknown, attributed to a 4-year-old named Lauren

I adore the relationship between sisters. Most likely because I didn't have one.

I am back... and catching up

I have been really busy this month with sweet little newborns. Here is a beautiful little girl I had the pleasure to meet this week.

Before I head off...

I am escaping for a little romantic getaway with the man I love. Before I go I thought I would post a few from yesterdays session. Serious and obviously full of profound thoughts... a very pretty little girl with a quick mind.

Teeny and Perfect

Since deciding that our family of 6 is big enough... I now live vicariously through my friends and clients. I love watching their families grow. I can hold their babies and relive those sweet moments with my own children. Thank you N and J for being sweet friends. I am really going to enjoy watching your family grow up :)

Two boys and a little lady

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy these clients. The sweetest, most down to earth bunch... and now a family of five!

I had a great time with you this morning. You guys make beautiful babies :)

Blessed...

The title of this post sums up my mood and spirit. How can you not feel blessed when you are surrounded by the constant reminder of life's renewal. It fills your heart with a joy for life and a great need to squeeze out all the precious moments you can from it.

Yesterday we were waiting for clients at their home and while we waited we discovered their trampoline! We spent some time jumping and laughing until we couldn't even stand up. I know I will cherish that memory for years to come because it was so real and unplanned.

A sweet baby boy, a sweet mom, and a loving grandmother allowed us in today to create these images.

"I'm married"?!...

That is what the bride said to me while we were starting the post wedding photos. A stunning bride... but mostly a beautiful mother. This wedding was a tender reminder of what a wedding commitment really means. I shed a few tears watching them,watch their little daughter play by their feet while they exchanged vows.

What is it about hats?

I adore hats! I adore them, but personally I own very few. My hats are all practical hats. The kind of hats you wear in the rain and snow. So, when I have a chance to photograph a little one in her hats... how could I not be in my glory!

Sleeping Beauty

Sessions like this one send me home with the desire for another baby. She slept and stretched her beautiful long limbs the whole time.

A breath of fresh air....

and a head full of hair. Quite possibly the most delightful little baby I have had the pleasure to know. With the added bonus of this terrific hair and excellent sense of style. Sometimes I feel quilty for the joy my career brings me. Aren't we supposed to hate our job?

Some families touch your heart and you are changed because of it. This session was with one of those families for me. I felt very at home in their home and I felt accepted like an old friend. Thank you, I know that I am a little better a person having met you. D was a blast of fun (and I imagine the three of you sleep very well at night :)

A new begining

In the sheltered simplicity of the first few days after a bay is born, one sees again the magical closed circle, the miraculous sense of two people existing only for each other. –Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Kim and Jean Francois , thank you for allowing me to share in that magical place with you.

The light stuff

A vintage scale and a sweet baby... what more could a photographer ask for? I have the honour of photographing this beautiful little angel throughout her first year. Each time her mommy has brought this gorgeous vintage scale with her to the sessions. Just for the record, the scale will not record a babies 'actual' weight if that baby is bouncing up and down. I am pretty sure we caught several motion blurred needles swaying from number to number. Her bum never actually left the scale but we were all laughing so hard we might have missed it.

A new Year... and a fresh take.

The holidays have come and gone and the New Year is fresh with promise. I look forward to this on-line adventure in blogging.
