Zoey, Dakota & Cohen visit the CI Studio!

I once again had the sweetest little munchkins visit my studio! I had so much fun with these three! The girls were full of energy (in a good way!!), were very entertaining, and baby Cohen was so sweet. Check out those adorable cheeks! It's photo sessions like this that keep me loving my job!

Thanks for bringing your crew in, Melissa! I truly enjoyed having you all!
Cheers, and Merry Christmas!

On location at Westland Greenhouses...

Wow...what an awesoome location for a photo shoot...a greeenhouse! I could not have asked for better lighting, and the colours were beautiful! What an awesome family to work with, as well! Paul and Anita and their four kids were so much fun, and it was nice to see them take a break from their usual hard working schedule. I was in total awe of the thousands of Anthuriums blooming around me - I could have stayed all day! (check them out at www.westlandgreenhouses.com )
Paul and Anita - it was so great to reconnect with you and your family! Enjoy your pictures!
Cheers!

Ready for Santa...

I love this time of year...I miss the days when my girls' eyes would light up and sparkle at the sight of Santa in the mall - it was always totally worth the wait in line for pictures. That was the best part of Christmas for me - true magic! Times change, of course, but there are still so many things I love about Christmas! Now I also get so much joy from watching other children with Santa, and on this particular day, Jaime & Ryan came into my studio to practice seeing Santa. I love all the Christmas colours in these photos, and of course, most of all, my two oh-so-cute subjects!!

Enjoy this sneak peak, and Merry Christmas to you, Hooper family!!

Cheers!

Welcome to the world, Ora!

I was truly blessed once again when baby Ora entered my studio. Ora is very special to me, as she is also a niece...another girl in the family! Ora is 8 days old in these photos, and try as she might to stay awake, modelling finally got so tiring she couldn't stay awake anymore - lucky for me I got to photograph sleeping beauty! Nicole and Jason - you have an absolutely gorgeous baby girl! Dave, Alyssa, Maranda and I congratulate you, and wish you so much joy.
Cheers!

The Insley/Windsor Families!

I recently welcomed the Insley & Windsor families to my studio - indoor and outdoor! You can tell by Grandma's smiles that she is so proud of her family - look at her beaming with her grandkids! They were such a terrific bunch to work with, and I so enjoyed photographing them. Here is a sneak peak at some of their photos. Enjoy!

Cheers!

Happy 90th Birthday!!

One of the things I love most about my job is meeting wonderful people - and this family was no exception! The cause for this celebration was a 90th birthday party - for a beautiful lady that definitely does not look her age! I could tell that she was adored by all - from her children down to her great-grandchildren.

Here is a sneak peek of a couple of the pictures I took. Enjoy!

Cheers!

Brittney & Brandon...Engaged!!

Another beautiful fall day created the setting for Brittney's and Brandon's engagement photos. The sun was shining and the autumn colours were spectacular! This photo session took place at the bride's home just outside of Nairn, Ontario - a beautiful property complete with waterfalls, hills, rocks, a bridge, and so much more. The wedding will take place here next September, as well, and I am so looking forward to photographing it! Brittney and Brandon are such an awesome couple, and have been such a joy to work with already!

Enjoy your preparation, Brittney & Brandon - it's going to be a fun year and we all look forward to a fantastic day next September 10th!
Cheers!

Sneak Peak...Rader Wedding at Hessenland Country Inn

Wow! Another beautiful fall day creates the backdrop for this spectacular wedding. Derick and Shareen's day was nothing short of a fairy tail - a beautiful princess marries her dapper prince, surrounded by family and friends, and happiness everywhere you looked. How lucky for me to be asked to photograph this wedding, which took place at Hessenland Country Inn, located just outside Zurich, Ontario. So, when you combine this beautiful couple with a most picturesque location, and such a joyous occasion, you can't help but capture stunning images. I truly enjoyed my entire day spent with this fanstastic couple, their family and friends.

Congratulations, Derick and Shareen...may you live "happily ever after"!

Cheers!

Baby Jess...

One of the most joyful things for me to be doing is photographing babies. Where else can you find such innocence, simplicity and beauty? Little baby Jessica was such a pleasure to photograph. She was so peaceful, and even at 4 days old, sometimes quite alert! Those beautiful eyes will have mom and dad wrapped around her little finger in no time!

Welcome to the world, baby girl!
Cheers!

What a pleasure it was to photograph beautiful Sarah! Sarah came into my studio feeling somewhat shy, but brought the lights to life in no time! Check out her gorgeous eyes and her graceful poses. And, now she will have these portraits and memories forever!

I hope you enjoyed your photoshoot, Sarah! You are a true gem!!

Cheers!

Nothing says summer to a child like a yummy slice of nice cool watermelon! As you can tell by the smile at the end, Olivia loved hers!

Hope you're enjoying summer, everyone! It's not over yet!!
