There will be changes made to the website and also some VERY exciting news coming soon... thank you for your support as these changes take place :)

Twins!!!

How amazing is it that you can be expecting twins, and to get a boy and girl the first time! It's the perfect family and I wish Theresa & Matt all the best!

Vrooman Family

Thanks to the Vrooman's for coming from Ajax and allowing me to take your family photos. It was nice to see you and the kids were loads of fun!

The Big Red Door

Erin & Mike had a beautiful day for the wedding at the Corbyville River Inn. We found an old red door with ivy growing everywhere, that used to be an entrance to part of the distillery years ago. It made an interesting backdrop and Erin definitely looked like a model! Congrats to you both :)

50 Years to Celebrate!

Congratulations Margie & Pat on your 50th Wedding Anniversary! How amazing it was to watch friends & family gather together to reminisce about the wedding day... thank you for having me be a part of your special day!

Prom Date!

These three lovely ladies invited us to take prom photos for NDSS (our second year in a row!) and it was nice to see all of the grads dressed up and enjoying themselves. We had a good time and even though my dad was my 'prom date' for the evening, it was a lot of fun! Thanks ladies and good luck :)

Georgia on my Mind

It is amazing how fast all of these babies are growing, and I love having the opportunity to capture some photos of them when they are still tiny. Georgia was wide awake for her photo-shoot and I can't wait to get some more of her as she changes & grows!

Mr. Benjamin Barry (a.k.a. Cutie Patootie)

New Software

I have been trying out different kinds of software to display some photos in a slideshow. I thought I would try it out with the photos already on my 'blog' as a test-run! I will try to upload a variety of photos from your very own session, so keep your eyes posted!

More 1st Birthdays!

Happy Birthday to Kennedy, who also turned "ONE" recently! It's amazing how fast she has grown and I am so happy that I have been able to take photos of her since she was a very young baby. Her beautiful blue eyes were glowing when she saw her birthday cake and it was nice to be a part of her special day...

Happy 1st Birthday Chloe!

It's been a busy few weeks and I have been trying to post, but it has proven to be quite difficult! I had the pleasure of meeting wee Chloe, just before her first birthday and she was absolutely adorable :) She loved the camera and also the pink balloons, and we had fun capturing some "precious" moments, as she reminded me of one of the girls from the Precious Moments collection. I hope you had a wonderful 1st Birthday Chloe!

Congratulations Beth & Mike!

Friday proved to be a perfect day for an outdoor wedding, and Beth looked stunning in her gown. It was so nice to be a part of their special day and the entire wedding was very elegant and romantic. The path to the wedding site was lined with lavendar bags, glowing with candle light and the white lights added a soft touch. The colours were beautiful and we only hope that we captured each and every moment for them :) One very memorable moment was when the bride & groom cut the cake with the assistance from Don Cherry! Congrats to you both and we wish you all the best as you begin the journey of becoming husband & wife...

Erin & Mike

It was also nice to meet Erin & Mike for their engagement photos! With Erin's dutch background, we found the cutest little spot beside the old windmill... you could tell they only had eyes for eachother :) Looking forward to your big day as well, and wish you both happy planning!

Congrats to Ashley & Adam!

It was nice to meet Ashley & Adam for some engagement photos, and we had a bright & sunny day for it. They warmed up to the camera and were very easy to work with! Looking forward to the wedding day in 2010!

Tulips & More Tulips!

A few more photos from our visit to the Nyman Tulip Gardens. I would love to have my very own tulip gardens that could be this beautiful year after year, however travelling to see them does make it all the more meaningful. I will be offering the same sort of sessions next season, so keep your eyes out for dates & times!

Tulip Time

We ended up having a beautiful day for photos in Bloomfield yesterday! The tulips were in full bloom and so colourful. Thank you to all of the families who came out and also to the soon-to-be-married couples :) Thanks to the Nymans who were very gracious in giving the kids a tulip, and also for allowing us to use their beautiful gardens.

Ste.Anne's Spa

Yesterday I had the opportunity to feel like royalty myself! Along with three lovely ladies, we booked an entire day at Ste. Anne's Spa in Grafton, ON. As you drive up the gravel road and the 'castle' comes into sight, you can already feel your body starting to relax. Especially after you sign in and receive your white robe and are given a tour of the grounds. We took full advantage of the natural spring pools, the eucalyptus steam room, wellness activities (our leisurely walk to visit the wild mustangs was well worth it!), and the other wonderful amenities that Ste. Anne's has to offer. In the afternoon we had our treatments, and I experienced the "Caribbean Therapy". It was my first time being wrapped in seaweed and it was amazing! I am pretty sure that I dozed off on the table and could have spent the entire night there on the heated massage table. I highly recommend going there for at least a day, and plan on spending a night there the next time I go. What a nice Mother's Day treat :)

Queen for a Day!

I was honoured to be a part of MYFM's Mother's Day radio contest "Queen for a Day" where mom's were nominated to win a day full of pampering! I met up with Angela (the Queen) at Hooked on Hair and watched as she received the royal treatment. The winning package included breakfast, shopping, lunch, spa treatments, etc... etc... etc! After she had her hair and make-up done, she was escorted back to her luxury vehicle and headed to change into a dressy outfit, then made her way to the Loyalist Golf & Country Club where we took some time for a photo shoot. The Queen looked fabulous and you could tell she felt like royalty! Thanks to MYFM for involving me in such a great contest!

Belly Shots

Anna & Mike are expecting their first baby very soon, and I was so happy to be able to capture memories for them before the little one arrives. We can't wait to meet him/her and we know you will make wonderful parents!

Upcoming Marriage

Congratulations to Sarah & Jeff on their upcoming marriage! It was nice to have them in the studio for some engagement photos, and I hope the planning for the 'big day' continues to go smoothly!
