Joanne and Eric Nuptials

Joanne & Eric

Joanne and Eric contacted me to capture their wedding. 

It was small and intimate and you could feel that they were so happy to have found each other.

The wedding took place at Rodman Hall.  It is the arts centre for Brock University.  The building was built in 1863 and is very well maintained; the grounds are meticulously maintained and have beautiful flowers and foliage.  

Joanne and Eric wanted their wedding shot in black and white to have that timeless look.

I gave them the photos in black and white, but being the lover of colour, I put a couple in here to show the beautiful flowers and that red door.  I love that red door.

Congratulations Joanne and Eric!!

I wish nothing but love and happiness for you both!!

Paige's First Birthday

Meet Paige

Paige made it to another milestone in her life. 

She turned 1!!

I was a wonderful morning outside and I could not help but go out there and capture this little princess in all her wonder.  She was having a blast exploring the numbers and letters I brought.  Once she finally stopped chewing on the letters, we were able to get a cute picture.

A big thank you to her Daddy, Mike, for making the wonderful chalkboard.  That's right, I said Daddy.  He did a fantastic job with it all.

Look at this adorable smile!!!

Another shout out to Picture Perfect Props by Mich (Facebook) for the wonderful headband and adorable tutu.  If you have not checked out her store, here in Welland, then I suggest you do.  She does amazing work.

Congratulations, again, Paige!!  I can not wait to watch you grow up!!!

Hodges Family

Meet the Hodges Family

What a great bunch of people.  They welcomed me into their home to get family photos while they were having a Valentine's family dinner.  They did have other things to discuss at dinner, but it was sweet how they all came together.  

They were so fun-loving and laughter was echoing off the walls that day.

It was so fun that even Grandma got in on the action. 

Thank you for letting me into your home to capture your family.

I could feel the generosity and love emitting of everyone that day.

Chicks and Bunnies 2014

This years turn out was fantastic!!  I had the privilege of meeting a couple new families and also got to catch up with some families I have shot before.

Karl was nice enough to rent the chicks and bunnies to me again.  We were lucky enough to have 2 bunnies this year, Humpty and Dumpty and about 6 chicks.  

I want to thank the parents and children that came out and had their pictures taken.

Here are some cuties from that day!!

                                 

Thank you all once again and I look forward to seeing you all again!!

New year, New me

Happy New Year to you all!!  I hope all of you had a fun and relaxing Holiday season.

As 2014 rolls in, I have found that I need to graduate into a more professional photography business.
I am getting away from the shoot and burn business that I have built my business on and into the consultations and ordering appointments.

I am looking forward to this big change with my business.  I am ready for this stepping stone.  I do understand that I will lose some clients and I am very sorry if I do.  My intention is to be able to provide affordable photography for everyone.    I hope that you appreciate the craft as much as I do and still call upon me for your family, children and wedding photos.

I appreciate all the families and couples that I have gotten to know and I look forward to meeting all of the new families, children and newly engaged.

Thank you all very much!!!   I am very excited for this!!

Findlay Family at Happy Rolf's

Shooting the Findlay family always means it is going to be a fun time!!
We met at Happy Rolf's Animal Farm in St. Catharines, on a beautiful day.
The dynamic this family has is just fun to shoot.  They are up for anything and sometimes they come up with some of the funnest ideas too (you'll see what I mean later)!!
I must say it's so wonderful to see this little girl grow up; I have been taking her pictures since she was just a couple weeks old.  I can't wait to see what the future brings.

Here are some from that day!!

Thank you for letting me capture your family again!!

I always feel so welcomed and loved while around your family!!

Alexis & Kevin

A Birthday Party Surprise!

10-10-10

Alexis and Kevin contacted me with an unusual, yet really fun idea.

They were planning a 'surprise' birthday party for Kevin but in all reality it was a grand surprise for the party guests.  They showed up in a bridal dress and tuxedo and in turn surprised the guests by getting married.  

Alexis asked me to do the photo guest book portion.

I have to say that the group was a fun bunch and had a blast during their turn.

Here are some of the photos from the guest photo book..

Kevin and Alexis,

I hope the past two years have been just as fun as your wedding was.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your surprise, special day.
