    Tammy and Jason are engaged!

    Tammy and Jason came in for their engagement session on a gorgeous early evening  in July. They were dressed very casually and wanted very relaxed portraits to reflect who they are as a couple.  We had a great session, the weather was overcast which is the best lighting conditions for outdoor portraiture.

    Fairy sisters!

    I photographed one little fairy when she was 5 years old and her parents have a beautiful wall portrait hanging in their home!  It was so nice to see the little sister come in for her fairy photos!  (more…)

    Karen and Mark and their “kids”

    Karen and Mark called me in December looking to get a casual portrait of them and their dogs!  Their dogs (Tyler and Jake) are a big part of thier lives. They wanted photos in the snow, and so we had to wait for the perfect day!  (more…)

    Jodi’s kids!

    Jodi brought in her 2 beautiful children for portraits.  Little Danica was quite happy to pose and smile , but her little brother wasn’t so happy to be out of mommy’s arms so we had to work quickly! (more…)

    The Stulp family just like the Brady Bunch

    Wow, what a beautiful group of kids! The Stulps have 6 kids, all blonde hair, all so sweet and loving! We had a great time doing their photo shoot.  So much energy!  So much going on in that household every day! Jane is a melaluca product representative.  They carry all natural products. Great stuff! We use alot of their products. This family looks like they could be poster children for good health!! Thank-you Stulp family, it was so great to see you all! img_0583.jpg

    Teen photos

    Teen photos

    Teenagers are always hard to wrangle up to get them in for portraits.  They are just too busy! So much on the go , with sports and lessons, school and friends….Jackie wanted some photos of her 2 kids, and finally managed to get them in!  I asked if they could bring whatever they are involved with!  Erik does Judo and Rachel plays the violin, so we did some creative shots of them which they enjoyed! Thanks for coming in guys!

    Try walking a mile in these shoes!

    Try walking a mile in these shoes!

    I was going through my files doing some organizing and came to a realization that 2 brides this summer had the exact same shoes!  I absolutely love these shoes.  They are shiny, sexy, and a really neat color, but I know I could never walk in them.  Funny thing is one bride bought hers in Ireland – she came to Niagara on the Lake for a destination wedding and the other bride bought her shoes here in Niagara!  Some people can just walk in high heels and look great!  Both of these brides were shining examples of making it look easy.  Neither complained of aching feet and both walked around in the grass without getting their heels stuck in the ground like golf tees!  I was very impressed!
