Happy Hat Man

I know, as a professional, that I'm not supposed to have favourite clients; but when someone has been in front of your camera multiple times, it can be hard not to have a soft spot for them. Arlo is one of those people... probably because I've been taking pictures of him since before he was born when I did maternity pictures for his wicked cool parents, Seana & Braden. I swear, he gets cuter every time I see him! And he has the *best* collection of hats I have ever seen! The shots from this mini session were a gift for his dad's birthday, and very well received by the whole family.

Happy Canada Day 2013!

Tying the Knot

The first weekend of this month was the season's first formal wedding; I ended up being with the clients all day, from 9 am with the girls getting their hair and makeup done right to midnight when the reception was just getting into party mode, so by the end I was pretty exhausted, but excited to have been a part of it all. The bride Sarah and I met in public school (we even were in Girl Guides together when we were younger) so our families have known each other for a while, and it was nice that I already had a great comfort level with everyone. Plus her now-hubby Taylor is such a genuinely nice guy it was hard not to be happy around them, and all their family & friends. The ceremony and reception took place at the beautiful Nottawasaga Inn, and we made a short trip to the nearby heritage house of Sir Frederick Banting for some couple shots afterwards. It was a day full of love, laughter and tears, as well as a learning experience when shooting a full day wedding! :)

 

Young Love

My youngest sister, Tatiana and her boyfriend Brandon wanted some couple portraits done, so even though it was the hottest day of the year, we set out to spend some time at Harborview Park in Collingwood.
