46 and fabulous! Kimberley's Boudoir...

Tonight I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Kimberley for her boudoir session. I can't get enough of her - she was just amazing to work with! You'd never know Kim was a day over 30, she is just beautiful and absolutely awesome... the shots turned out better than I could have imagined! And it helped that we had a glass of wine or two to wind down a little!

As luck would have it, my little girl woke up about 5 minutes before Kim came by, so we had to listen to her babbling and occasional yelling during the shoot, but like a veteran mum, Kim was awesome about it!

Thank you so much for letting me take your photos, they are gorgeous, just like you!!

The Bornino Family

This morning, not so bright... but early, I met up with the beautiful Bornino Family at Sunnidale park.  I tried a new location in the park this time, and wasn't disappointed by the gorgeous backdrops! The Arboretum is just amazing, and I'll be keeping it in mind when future shoots come up!

Ashley, Nick and Aliya (sorry Ashley, if I'm spelling it wrong) assured me that they were NOT photogenic, but my camera begged to differ. We got so many beautiful shots, there will be no shortage of photos to hang on the wall!

It was great meeting Ashley and Nick, and really nice to chat about cameras and business with Nick (by the way, if anyone needs a graphic designer... he's your guy!) and even more fun to take pictures of their beautiful family!

Sexy Sara's Boudoir

My first shoot of the day was with Sara. Sara found me on Kijiji Daily Deals and booked right away. I'm so lucky she contacted me, because I couldn't have asked for a more photogenic and beautiful model! Sarah got into the pictures and knew how to make them smoulder!

About halfway through the shoot, Sara's beautiful Lab/Collie mix jumped in, and some great impromptu photos arose, with the biggest smile on the beautiful model's face!

Thank you so much for inviting me to your home Sara, I hope you're going to love the photos!

Scarlett's Cake Smash

It seems like yesterday we heard about Scarlett's birth, but here we are almost celebrating her first birthday! Sara brought Scarlett over today with cake, cupcake and tutu's in tow for Scarlett's cake smashing session. Let me tell you, Scarlett didn't disappoint!

We started with the cupcake, but Scarlett was so enamoured by my little one, it was tough to get her to stay put for the pictures! But with a little coaxing and a bigger cake to get into, we managed to capture some really awesome shots! Scarlett got into the cake like it was nobody's business, and here's a teaser to prove it!

Just Married! Will & Julie's Wedding

Today I had the pleasure of photographing Will & Julie's wedding. I said to myself as I was driving home: I'm not going to blog tonight, I'm exhausted. Yet, here I am, blogging this beautiful day!

Will & Julie were married at Tudhope Park in Orillia, the weather was overcast, and it threatened rain more than once. But they had eyes only for each other, and the pictures are looking beautiful!

The morning started out at Julie's house where the ladies were getting ready. I'm so glad I was able to be there, because I was able to get a better feel for everyone, and really enjoyed getting to know the bridesmaids, Dana, who is due with her first baby at the beginning of August, and Laura who was celebrating a birthday!

The ceremony went off without a hitch, although I've never seen so many shad flies in my life! The picture portion was fantastic, although like with anything, I'm sure the bride and groom were ready to be done long before we were finished. And the reception was amazing, complete with a couple tear jerker speeches.

Thank you so much Will & Julie, for letting Steph and I capture your day for you, I hope you love your honeymoon, and I promise to have a bunch of teasers for you when you return... ok... maybe I have a couple now :D

Taming Toddlers! - The Mathurin Family

Today I finally met Deb Mathurin and her family. We've had a shoot booked forever now, and we had to keep pushing it back and pushing it back for various reasons, weather being the main contributor. But today, the sun shone down and it was a fantastic day for park photos!

They have the most beautiful little girl - Kaitlynn (sorry Deb, I didn't ask if thats the right spelling!), and she is FULL of energy. She wasn't a fan of sitting still for photos, so we made the best of it and got lots of 'chasing' photos!

Such a beautiful family, and such a pleasure to photograph!

Itty Bitty Reighley

On May 30th, my dear friends Kary & Bob welcomed their daughter into the world. I was so blessed to be able to be there, and see the little angel right after she was born, all squishy and wonderful! Reighley is the most adorable little girl, and small!  She's only about 6 and a half pounds, but she's tall as can be!

Today, I drove out to Bowmanville to visit and take some photos for them - getting Reighley to sleep was a bit of a rough go, but once she was out, we went to town! Her sweet little sleeping face made my day, and seeing my best friends with their long awaited baby, made it even better!

So, congratulations Kary & Bob, and thank you so much for letting me photograph your little angel - she was a pleasure to work with!
