No more waiting...

Not too long ago we were waiting for Oliver. Well, it seems Oliver didn't want to wait for anything and arrived 3 weeks ahead of schedule. I had the pleasure of meeting this little guy today and did he make me work! Can you tell he wasn't too impressed with me...


Afraid of missing something, this little trouper stayed awake for most of the shoot (would someone please tell these babies that we like sleepy shots). I'm stubborn though and won't let these babies win - no matter how good of a fight they put up. I'm posting this the night of the shoot because I'm afraid mom didn't think we got any - we did!

Yet another cutie...

Gorgeous blue eyes, chubby cheeks, that amazing baby hair that just stands straight up... this little guy has it all.

His mom contacted me months ago about coming to Stouffville for this shoot. I suggested we wait until he could sit on his own. I love photographing this stage... they can sit, are ALWAYS cute and still stationery (which makes my job a whole lot easier). How adorable is he!








And after loads of smiles, several wardrobe changes and a little snack, he decided to take a bit of a nap. Who can resist a sleeping baby?

Sand in your toes

Have I mentioned I love repeat clients! This is another family I photographed last year and went back to Toronto this past weekend to see how much they had grown. It's amazing what can happen in a year! These kids are adorable - in fact I'm secretly hoping to set this little girl up with my oldest in a few years : )

Thanks for a fun evening at the beach.

Starting to catch up...

My computer is back after a week and a half of repairs which means I am going to be BUSY! Here's the first of the 3 sneak peeks I've yet to post.

I photographed this family last fall and it was one of my favourite shoots of 2008. They came back for another shoot a week or so ago and we had a great time again. I love photographing them - not just because mom is a friend of mine - but they're so fun and are always open to anything. And look at these kids... too cute!

My big guy...

One free hour on a nice summer night. One camera. One willing boy (willing to be bribed that is). And one bag of skittles...

It is a happy day!

Just had to share... I got my dream camera today (ok, well there's always an unattainable dream, this was the attainable one). AND a new super lens. I've only shot a few images with it but wow - look out! So excited to try this baby out on some upcoming sessions.

I've made it through the first year and a half with a great camera, a kit lens and another fabulous (albeit very modest) little lens which I have used about 80% of the time (that's my 50mm 1.4). NOW I have power. This opens a whole new word and I know the camera does NOT make the photographer, but I'm definitely hoping it helps the photographer out just a wee bit!
