Yeah, I did my first newborn shoot and it went off without a hitch!!!

Thanks to Caroline and Russell I was able to do my first newborn shoot.  It was great with tons of lessons learned for future shoots.  Caroline and Russell have such a beautiful family and they were so laid back it was a relaxed time for all....well except their gorgeous toddler, Isabelle, who was a total little firecracker and loved being in front of the camera (although her parents said she was forever running away from the camera....not today she wasn't LOL).  After many fun shots with Isabelle, it was finally time for two week old Abby to make her appearance and she was worth the wait.  You'd think at two weeks old she would settle down and sleep but not this little beauty...she was awake through it all so we got some awake and what looked like asleep pics.   I plan on following these two precious sisters as they grow and getting the "birthday cake smash" pics of Abby when she turns 1 (I should probably let her parents know my plan LOL).

Can't forget a shout out to Tanya for hooking me up with Caroline, Russell and the girls.  Your family are next Tanya so get ready :)

First Maternity Shoot

Well, I finally had the opportunity to do my first maternity shoot and I'm pleased to say it was a success.  It was terrifying, exhilarating and over all awesome at the same time.  Many many thanks to Christine Kolynko for being my willing model.  I was super excited to have Christine wear the beautiful dress I bought from Taopan - Ana Brandt (exceptionally talented photographer and over all amazing woman).  My vision is to have all mum's-to-be feel like a princess for a few moments in their pregnancy - they deserve a few moments of pampering and glamour don't you think?  Can't wait for Christine's beautiful new baby to arrive so I can get my first newborn shoot under my belt too. 2014 is starting out amazingly in the photography world :>)

Ice Storm December 2013

This Christmas sure turned out to be quite a surprise for all of us.  Who would have expected so much of the City would be without power for days, some even without it on Christmas Day?  We were lucky enough to be in one of the pockets in the City where there was still power, which was a blessing for sure. I'm happy everyone survived the storm with minimal damage to their property and without too much disruption to their Christmas....hopefully we were all able to make the best of it with family and friends.  Here's to a great, warm New Year to everyone....may 2014 bring us all much love, happiness and good health.

Here's a few pics of the ice storm...I chose to post only what I thought were some pictures showing the beauty that mother nature can throw at us instead of all the damage that was caused...who wants to remember the bad stuff - I know I don't.
