Sleepy Smiles

My first newborn of the 2014 season was this little guy, whose awesome parents hired me to shoot their wedding last year. Casey & Amy are laid back and fabulous to work with so I couldn't wait to share these images. It gives me so much joy to photograph clients on multiple occasions, because I really feel like I get to see their family grow and evolve over the years.

Baby Elgin decided he wanted to come a week early so we had to do some shuffling to book the session but once I got there, he was so smiley and charming. And that hair! I have never seen a baby with a fauxhawk, until now!

Welcome to the world, Elgin George Hollema.

Military Engagement

Kim & Grant met up with me a couple weekends ago to sign the contract for their wedding later this summer, and while we were together we did some engagement shots on Base Borden. They both have connections to the military so it was the perfect spot, although it certainly was a chilly day to be outside! My favourites are the ones with their dog, how cute is that handmade sign around his neck?!

Backyard Bliss

Somehow I missed posting these shots a few months ago when I spent an afternoon with this adorable family in their backyard here in Creemore. Ashley & Phil are so easygoing and their daughter Anneliese is becoming one of my favourite kids to photograph. She absolutely loves being in front of the camera, and always gives me huge smiles. Expect to see a lot more of them in the future, they hire me for everything!!

 

Easter at the Log Cabin

Consider this to be my belated Easter post - though the long weekend has just passed, this collection of adorable shots was taken the week before, when I decided to hold an Easter themed photo event at a historic log cabin in my hometown. The cabin's rustic interior was the perfect backdrop for my vintage chairs, and I borrowed my sister's bunny so the kids could interact with him for the photos. It was a great day for mini sessions, a little on the chilly side, but I made lots of new clients, and enjoyed seeing a few of my regulars. Happy -belated- Easter all! :)

Berry Nice

It's the perfect time of year for finding little jewels hidden in the garden. I love the sweet bursts of flavour that wild strawberries offer, despite their tiny size. Sometimes you are perfectly  content to nibble on a handful while enjoying the sunny summer days.
