Mini Sneak Peek

I was just going through the pictures of a photo shoot I did yesterday with one of my favourite models.  This one is so adorable that I had to post it right away!  Isn't she a sweetie?!  Stay tuned for more pictures of this little cutie pie.

Happy Birthday

My love of photography actually started with wanting to be in front of the camera when I was younger.  As I got older and the wrinkles started to appear, I preferred to be behind the camera!  :)

I'm always bugging my family to let me take pictures of them so i thought it was my turn to get some pictures done.   I decided to have a Birthday photo shoot for myself (not an easy task! :)).

Here I am at the age of 38, wrinkles and all......

Christmas Card Outtake

Every year, the kids and I have a blast taking pictures for our Christmas card.  Thought I would share an outtake from this year....this one didn't make it onto the card :)

Remember

My good friend Steve's father was kind enough to come and talk to my son's cub troop this week.  He's a world war II veteran and it was so interesting to hear him talk.  I can't believe that he joined the military when he was only 16 years old!  He's such a sweet and caring man and I feel honoured to know him!




the boys were very interested in his medals

beautiful family

I had the pleasure of photographing the family of Marlayne Hardy,  a consultant for Stampin Up! who is a successful business woman and very talented at creating gorgeous cards...you can check out her website here: http://sparkledaisy.com/




The weather was really cold for our session but you wouldn't know if from looking at these pictures...they had such great style and are so photogenic!  We managed to find a fantastic location that still had some nice Fall colour.

Thanks Marlayne, hope you enjoy your sneak peek!  :)

 I love little piggies!  :)
