I have been so blessed with beautiful, warm, sunny days for my sessions this spring. This particular Saturday was no exception when I met up with this family at Lemoine's Point. Dorene had contacted me wanting to capture some pictures of her parents, two sisters, and all of the cousins who would be visiting Kingston to celebrate their mom's birthday. We enjoyed the morning, walking through the trails, exploring the woods, and eventually making our way down to the water where the kids were not disappointed, the ducks were there. Enjoy your preview:)
I always love to photograph newborns, but little Liam was extra special. Three years ago I photographed his big sister Caitlin when she was only 6 days old, and it was so great to do the same for Liam on his 9th day. Liam's parents, Sean and Catherine are such wonderful parents, you can feel the love that they have for their two little ones. Miss Caitie was also a very proud big sister. Liam is one well loved little man. I hope that you enjoy these photos of such a sweet newborn.
Spring is here! There is nothing better than a cute
couple to photograph, beautiful weather and gorgeous downtown Kingston
as your background. I met up with Lindsay and Travis on a Saturday
evening as they wanted to capture some photos to celebrate their
engagement and upcoming anniversary. We weaved in and out of limestone
pathways, with their dog Zoe (who was so well behaved I might add). In
between lots of photos, treats for Zoe, and several giggles we managed
to capture a snapshot of a wonderful young couple. I hope that you
enjoy your preview Lindsay and Travis!
January 11th, through the 18th was pure bliss. My husband and I traveled to the Dominican Republic for his brother's beach wedding. It was great to leave on Andy's birthday (how can I top that next year??!), and as much as we were going to miss them...we left the kids with Grandma.
You know that feeling, the rush of warm air that runs over your face when you step out somewhere tropical? I love it! It was as though relaxation completely took over my body the minute we arrived.
We stayed at a beautiful resort while in Punta Cana, the Riu Palace Macao. Our resort had all of the old world charm that we love. It was a huge group joining Tim and Kat to see them married, forty three people in all!
The week was amazing! We quickly slipped into the routine of waking late, hitting the beach, then pool, heading back for a siesta and then dining way past what would be acceptable if we had our kids with us.
We arrived on a Wednesday, and the wedding was scheduled for Saturday. We woke to blue skies and a warm breeze - perfect. Kat and the girls spent the day lounging by the pool followed by some pampering at a neighbouring resort. Tim took it easy, and hung out with his brothers for the day.
Every last detail fit beautifully with their beach vision. The chairs were covered with flowing white linen, and wrapped with turquoise sashes. Kat walked down a sand swept path, lined with towering palm trees. She met Tim through a double arch of palm leaves, dotted with tropical flowers, while a local trio played Dominican music on the beach. Fuschia flower petals were scattered down the aisle admist the sand and everyone was barefoot. The officiants stood with their backs facing the resort, so as not to block the amazing view of the ocean found behind Tim and Kat. The ceremony was short, sweet, and full of love. Many other people gathered at the perimeter to witness Tim and Kat take each other as husband and wife. I was so grateful that my husband and I were able to be a part of their special day.
The party continued on into the night. They had reserved an open air restaurant for their reception. The entire building was made of a local dark wood, lanterns hung from the posts, and the same white and turquoise linens carried through the tables as well. The food was delicious, the speeches heartfelt, and the music was a pumping into the night. Everyone was having such a great time, Kat's father was able to convince the resort to let the party continue for another hour past the supposed end time.
Congratulations Tim and Kat, and thank-you for inviting us to be a part of such an amazing event. We love you guys and are so fortunate to have you in our lives.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas from our family to yours. It's been crazy busy for me these last six weeks, so it sure is nice to sit back, relax, and enjoy the holidays with my boys.
Andrew and Natalie were a lot of fun to work with. They truly enjoy each other's company, and I think that you can see that through their photos. They've been together for over ten years, and they've officially become engaged just recently. We met on a Saturday morning, and walked around our beautiful downtown Kingston. The market was buzzing, the streets were packed, and the weather was beautiful. Congrats guys, I hope that you enjoy your photos:)
