One month ago today, perhaps to the very moment, Kate walked back up the aisle to cheers and applause – a newlywed. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and I was overjoyed to be part of it. Congratulations again to you both!

I am so lucky that in the relatively short time I’ve been photographing families, so many of my clients have chosen to be repeat customers. In late June I met up with Melanie for a one-on-one photographer chat* – we talked about tips and tricks for getting great shots of children, and Melanie brought her favourite subject to practice on. As for me, Gillian has grown so much since the last time I photographed her, of course I couldn’t resist getting more images!

*If anyone is interested in this kind of informal one-on-one workshop with me, get in touch!

There are so many more where this comes from, but yesterday was the bride’s birthday and I wanted to give her a little treat sneak peek. I just can’t wait!

Kate you are beautiful, and you were a beautiful bride. I’m so excited for you to see the rest of your images, but for now…

Alexis was born in January, six weeks before his due date and just 12 days after I had photographed what was supposed to be only the second of three photoshoots charting Annik’s pregnancy. Apparently he was anxious to be in pictures ;) I’ve been waiting a long time to get to meet him, but finally in early June we had our photoshoot. Here he is at 20 weeks.

The weekend before my trip to Alberta I photographed Paul’s 70th birthday. Family and friends gathered to celebrate life (and fabulous weather) with each other. And with Chinese food. Lots and lots of Chinese food. Bon anniversaire!

I reconvened with Vincenzo and family again this past weekend, and my how he has grown :) Part of the session was Easter themed, and Sam (aka Mom) had so many excellent props and clothes! I’ve put the rush on to get these done in time to be enjoyed for the holiday. I hope that everyone has a fabulous extra-long weekend, and I’ll be back with more from this session soon!

Long, long ago, in a kingdom far, far away (more specifically October 2009; Moncton) I attended a portrait workshop with Maurice Henri as part of FotoExpo 2009. I didn’t really take many photos that day – the photographer to model ratio was something like infinity to 1, and jockeying for position really isn’t my style. I got home, looked at the images I shot, and then abandoned them. I figured I’d wait until some late winter month when business was slow and the blogging intermittent. Now is that time.

This session is unique because Kisa will probably never see these, and it’s a shame because I think she may have liked them! So I’ll send my thanks out to the universe and hope she gets it. Beautiful girl, stunning model.

And she had the patience of a saint. Oy.

When I met Annik & Chris in January it was for the second of a planned three maternity shoots to show the progression of Annik’s long-awaited belly baby (see previously: 21 weeks).We hung out at their house, took some shots of the nursery, just relaxed and captured some images of the happiness, the distinct… dare I call it a glow, that Annik had. It was a mini-session, and as I said, we figured we had one more session to go.

These pictures were taken at 32 weeks. Alexis was born 12 days later.

So have you all gotten your flu shots? I did! And I think I’m glad, because I’m just coming off a week of some crazy wannabe-swine-flu… thing. I’m not saying it was or wasn’t swine flu, I’m just saying that I got the H1N1 and seasonal shots but all my symptoms matched up with swine flu and it was not. pretty. Um, anyway.

Point is, Annik has had to wait longer than usual to get the first sneak peek from her session. The wait is over!

I have more surprises coming soon, so stay tuned :)
