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!

We met Janice and her family, her parents Elly and Don, and her brother Andy and his family at the park on Friday. Andy and his family where down for a visit from Toronto, and it was the perfect opportunity for some great family photos with all the kids playing together.

Some of my favorite moments where when Andy and Marisa threw their son Connor up in the air, when Janet’s daughter Lucy gave her brother Ben a kiss that made him smile, and when Elly and Don got together for some warm and snugly time.

Thanks folks for some fabulous Friday photography!

Ramey and Justin had a beautiful, small and intimate wedding with 18 family members at a Tangled Garden in Port George, Nova Scotia. The cottage they were married in was situated in the middle of a field of flowers and was modeled after a chapel.

Thank you for letting me play a small part in your wedding day.

Ben is one of the most beautiful giant shelties I have ever seen!  He is full of energy, his coat shimmers, and he loves to play.

Colleen if you find Ben missing, you will know who has him… ME!  (just kidding)

Ashley is very near and dear to Cheryl’s heart. She is a beautiful golden retriever who loves to swim, eat cookies, feel the grass between her toes, and run in the opposite direction from the car. This beautiful older girl is Cheryl’s friend. During their session, one was never far from the other.

Ashley is older now, and has a few health issues and it was more important than ever to capture some memories of her while she still has lots of energy and mobility. I was honored to help.

We had so much fun chasing 4.5 year old Colton and his dog Jake around Cleveland Beach on Monday night!  We played tug of war with the leash, threw stones in the water, counted fish in a pond, and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the beach!
