'Nothing but the whole wide world...'

When Shannon of Shannonview Photography asked me to help her out with an upcoming wedding, she sold me on the fact that the couple getting married was cool, fun and up for anything. How could I say no to that? Well, the wedding was this past weekend and it did not disappoint! It was in the most adorable country chapel and inside I witnessed such an intimate, warm ceremony that was different than any other I've been a part of. Simple, real and full of heart. It wrapped up with a song sang by the groom to the bride with a little help from some of their friends and then everyone headed outside for a little champagne under a full, perfect moon.

Air, land and sea...

Back in March I ran a little contest for a free shoot and digital package. I was amazed with the number of entries and thrilled when I drew the winner - an old friend from Toronto who I met right after I had my first son. We'd meet at a coffee shop or park with some other moms, let our babies play and chat about everything under the sun (what I wouldn't do to have just a couple of mornings like that again - no schedule, just a wee baby tote to around and some friends to visit). Well, her baby is now almost six and she's since added another. 

We've made a few attempts at fitting this shoot in but her hubby is on the road a lot and when home and the weather is nice, these two fill their days jumping out of planes. So, this past weekend we made it happen... toured around their hometown of Port Colborne and of course, ended the shoot at the drop zone. 

And I PROMISE to come back in the spring - not to shoot but to jump!

Love this age!

Check out this this little guy's cheeks and big eyes... seriously adorable. I could have watched him all day!

Hard to believe but it's time...

Double the cuteness...

Meet Benjamin and Bianca. Two sweethearts I met earlier this week. I LOVE photographing newborns so I was in my glory with two of them! And they were so good - their mom said they are daytime sleepers and she was right (good for me, bad for mom). It was a super warm day so we decided to take the second half of the shoot outside. Huge thanks to Kelly Gemmell for her help - a second set of hands is so nice when there are two involved (which I'm sure Benjamin and Bianca's parents are discovering).
