Pete, Karen & Alyssa ~ Newborn

As promised, here’s the followup newborn session.  I’ve got to tell you that I love these sessions.  They are just so incredibly fun and have a sweetness factor of ten.  Not to mention that Pete & Karen are two really special people that I have had the privilege of knowing for a number of years.  If you’re a longtime reader of our blog you’ll recognize Karen’s face.  She’s been working with me as a model for some time.  Get the two of them together, add a sweet new baby and let the good times roll.  Pete’s always quick to lighten the moment and Karen’s wit & kindness gladden your heart.  This session was a joy.  Thanks Pete & Karen for the privilege of working with you to create lifelong memories.

We love hearing what you think.  Post your comments and tell us which image is your personal favourite.

Christine, Carina & Patrick – Family Portraits

As I recall there were no complaints form the peanut gallery when they had to spend a good chunk of the afternoon with me in the park while their friends were all at school.  We had a blast at our outdoor fall session.  The leaves were great once we got to a park that still had them.  I had scouted this great location the day before our shoot.  It was filled with leaves from these beautiful old maples.  The ground was awash with colour and there were other elements that added so much to the scene.  The morning of the shoot I showed up to find a City of Ottawa crew just finishing up leaf cleanup.    D’oh!  One of the workers was both insightful and  kind enough to inform me of a nearby park that wasn’t scheduled for cleanup for a few days.  Off we went!  Once there, we raked, we threw the football and we laughed.  Along the way we captured some really fun, natural, fun images.

Check out some of the highlights for our time skipping school.  Hey!  Yeah that’s right, YOU.  If you’re reading this drop us a line in the comments and tell us which image is your favorite.  Thanks!

The Wilsons – Portraits

Hey I said I’d do better and here I am back again already.  Thing are looking up!  :~)  To say this one is overdue is more than an understatement.  

Let me tell you about an awesome family that I had the privilege of spending a sunny afternoon with.  The Wilsons rocked the park and we got some great family portraits, laughed, played, had a leaf fight.  There were a few times I could hardly hold my camera as laughter got the best of me, thanks Rob!  You know things are gonna turn out great when joy is at the heart of what you’re doing.  

Thanks for a fantastic session guys!  

Urban Ladies

This is just a quick post.  Here’s a few shots from an urban shoot that I did earlier this fall with five lovely urban ladies.  I had a blast working with this group.  I think they all look stunning, but I may be just a little biassed.  Please have a look and tell me what you think in the comments.

I love babies!  They’re so darn cute and cuddly.  It was some time ago that I had a chance to photograph sweet Jacob.  He was 6 weeks old at the time and what a handsome little man he is.  Mom and Dad we’re gracious and fun and we all had a blast.  Here’s a look at some of the images we created for the family.
