Journey through life

February 16, 2012

It is such a joy to meet a couple on one of the happiest days of their life, their wedding day, and then follow their journey through life. This is exactly what happened with Suzie and Andrew. We had the pleasure of meeting them back in 2006 when they were married and I was honored to capture their growing family this year.

Being themselves

I am so glad to have met Ruth at Pet Value this year when I was the photography sponsor during the SPCA Santa Pix fund raiser. Ruth, Ian, Jayne, Luke, and their dog Jessie were fabulous at the session and we had lots of fun.

One of my favorite moments was when they were walking together over a bridge and just being themselves. Ruth and Jayne smiled like they have done 100 times before, Luke walked confidently with the group, and Ian and Jessie look happy to be in the middle of it all.

What a great day.

It was really fun to sponsor the SPCA Santa Pix again this year. Photographing pets is a lot like photographing children. Sometimes with shy ones you have to go slow, and sometimes with excited ones you have to let them burn off some energy before you start taking pictures. Either way, I love winding them up and then sending them home :)

Check out our team at the Santa Pix at Pet Value on Larry Utek Boulevard below. Thanks to CBC and Colleen Jones for stopping by!

Last year we photographed over 80 dogs, cats, and bunny rabbits in three hours at the Sunny Side Mall in support of the Metro SPCA Santa Pics fund raiser. After a lot of silly noises, stomping of feet, and squeezing of squeaky toys, I am ready to do it all over again this year! It is so much fun being a Halifax pet photographer for the day and getting to visit with everyone and their furry babies.

This year I will be at the following locations:

Bark and Fitz - Monday, November 28th from 6-9pm
5431 Doyle Street, Unit 104

World Wide Furniture – Thursday, December 1st from 6-9pm
3377 Kempt Road

Pet Value – Sunday, December 4th from 1-4pm
75 Peakview Way (Larry Utek)

It was such a pleasure hanging out with Chelsea and Katie.We got together because they are both graduating university and soon Katie will be going abroad for a year. It was really cool to watch their transformation from quiet  and everyday to super star!

It was a pleasure to see Suzanne and Andrew again after photographing their wedding a few years ago, and to meet the new additions to their family: Gavin and Ethan.

Nadine and Byron told me during our session about how cute “scrunchy nose” is, and we were not disappointed. Julia is a very happy, very cute baby!

I feel blessed to be able to get to know some fabulous families through photography.

Here are a few of my favourite images of some wonderful babies, children, and families.

When Jane and I talked about how we wanted the images to look, sunset on the beach just felt right. Donnie was in the Navy most of his life and the ocean is something he had always been connected with.

We canceled our session twice due to weather, but when we finally got together with Jane and Donnie and their fur babies on the third try, the wait was so worth it!

When Anne and I started teasing out what her and her family really enjoy in life, it was obvious that they have a really strong bond.

Everything to do with the session had a meaning. We went to the beach where her and her husband Greg grew up, and later where he proposed. We brought a picnic with cheese wedges and wine which pulled in Greg’s background in food and beverage industry, and this is also something they liked sharing together. Lastly we added a little whimsy with some farm fresh sunflowers.

Anne, Greg and Gillian: Thank you for a wonderful evening!
