Leah - Headshots

I've known Leah, this gorgeous lady in the pictures, for many years through my sister in law. She was just a little, fresh teenager when I first met her and now she's a beautiful young woman and a mother. Laura (my sister in law) is in school for cosmetology and needed a model for an assignment, and she asked me to photograph Leah once she was finished with her hair and make-up. This was the first time I had done a session like this one, and it was a lot of fun! I didn't spend too much time with editing these as the entire purpose was to showcase the hair and make-up application, and over-editing them would take away from that. 

So here is Leah, all glammed up!

Hair and make-up was done by Laura Szoke and yes, she is available to do hair/make-up on my future clients as well!

Noah and Olivia

I've known (and loved!) both these two little firecrackers since they were born. They live right next door and it's been so amazing to watch them grow from inside their mama's belly all the way to these beautiful, wonderful kids that they are today. I'm looking forward to seeing how much they continue to change and grow over the years.

Their session was hilarious because these two monkeys just didn't want to settle and have their pictures taken - especially not together! But even the photos that aren't "perfect" are an amusing reminder of their true personalities, and if you have the pleasure of knowing this family you will understand just how "perfect" these photos really are because they totally reflect their true colours.

Here are some pictures from Noah and Olivia's session! Enjoy!

Dylan Eva Lynn - Newborn Session

I know... it's been forever since I've posted on my photography blog! There are a few reasons for that, but mainly I took a break for the month of December and spent time with my family, rather than spending my time with my photography. I did a few shoots, but nothing ended up on the blog. My apologies for that. I have a bit of a collection of studio equipment now and will have a Mini Session promo coming up VERY soon. Keep an eye on the blog and Facebook so you won't miss out! But seriously, this one session was worth the wait... I promise!

Now, let's get to the goods.

My best friend Brittany and her wonderful husband welcomed a beautiful, precious baby girl on January 20th and I had the tremendous pleasure of getting to do her newborn photos this past weekend. Although she was a very stubborn (but oh so cute!) little gem and did not want to sleep for us, persistence paid off and she eventually gave in and snoozed so we could get the adorable, memorable shots that we were hoping for. I am so thrilled with how they turned out and can't wait to share them with you below!

Brittany and Tyler, congratulations on your little miracle. She is absolutely perfect, amazing, and gorgeous. I hope you love these photos as much as I do, and cherish them for years to come. 

Here is a little sneak peek at just a few of my favourites from the session. I am madly in love with this sweet little soul! Welcome to the world, Dylan Eva Lynn!

Breaching Vista

This past weekend I had the enormous pleasure of doing a band shoot with Breaching Vista. When an old friend of mine (thanks, Kirsty!) helped to set up this shoot, to say I was psyched about doing it would be a vast understatement. I was admittedly nervous about the idea since it wasn't something I had tried before, but I am beyond thrilled with how their session turned out! The guys were all super nice and laid-back, and I honestly think this was the most fun I have had on a shoot yet. Anyhow I really could go on and on about this session, so I'll just get to the goods - here are a few teasers. Enjoy!

Camryn and Morgan

I have known these two little sweethearts for several years now and doing this photo session was just an absolute delight! Camryn and Morgan were total naturals in front of the camera and certainly made my job easy. Here are a few samples from their session.

Mel and Chloe

A while back I ran a giveaway on my Facebook page when I hit 100 likes. I was thrilled when I used Random.org to find a winner and it happened to be Mel! We have known each other since high school and her daughter Chloe is just so sweet and adorable. Congrats on winning this free mini session, Mel! Here's a sneak peek of Mel and Chloe's session.

Maternity Session with Lizsi

I've known this pretty mama-to-be for probably somewhere around 15 years. I was so happy to see her and catch up since we hadn't seen each other in years. I really enjoyed doing these photos with her, and I can't wait to see her adorable little girl when she makes her debut which will be any day now! Congrats Lizsi and your entire family on the new addition! A little peek at Lizsi's session can be seen below.
