Urton Family

This really is the best job! I especially love it when I am able to meet up with dear friends and take some photos of them and their loved ones. This family has to be one of the kindest families around. It was a pleasure to photograph them. Enjoy!

Family

Another amazing family, who also happen to be close friends, that I had the opportunity to photograph. This family is so vivacious and full of life, they were a joy to work with. I just adore these kids!

Adorable Abigail!

This little girl was the perfect mix of girly and tomboy. She has the sweetest personality and was beyond amazing in front of the camera. I think that I could follow Miss Abigail around any day! It was so nice to see her mama and grandma as well, I always love it when generations get together to have their picture taken. It was so nice to meet up with you ladies. Enjoy your photos and I`ll hopefully see you all again soon!

Three Months

I am just so in love with this little baby! He melts my heart every time he smiles, and he is the best snuggler in the world. Nate`s personality is really starting to come out and it is amazing to watch him change everyday. He is so alert, very smiley, and he has discovered that he has hands - and that they taste delicious! I already have so many pictures of this adorable little man, but here are a few ones taken over the past couple of days.
The shirt says it all...

Being Present...

Last month I did something that I've been looking forward to doing ever since I found out that I was pregnant with Nate, had our whole family photographed. I contacted Elizabeth, from Fulton Photography in Ottawa to see if she could squeeze in my family for a session, while she was down visiting her mom for Thanksgiving weekend. Luckily, she made room and everything worked out. I am not used to being on the other side of the camera, it's a little stressful to think about. I think that it's good to remember all of the effort that clients go to in order to prep for their sessions. Anyways, we(I) got our outfits ready, made sure that the boys were clean(which is no small feat some days in our house), and awoke to rain that Saturday morning. Thank god that the skies cleared, and it dried up a little bit for us to fit in our session. Elizabeth was wonderful with the boys. Max doesn't always warm up to new people easily, but somehow she worked him! It was nice to have Elizabeth behind the lens for a couple of reasons, for one, I have known her for a long time as her brother is one of my husband`s oldest and dearest childhood friends. Secondly, she rocks, I am so in love with our images. I think that it`s very important for everyone to be present in photos. So often, it`s the mom taking the pictures, so it is so special for me to have these photos of my boys and I when they are little. Next step, I am waiting (attempting to be patient)for my big canvas of one of our family photos to arrive in the mail. We`ve just have our family room painted and I can`t wait to create a photo wall with the images that Elizabeth took above our couch. Thank-you Elizabeth, for capturing my family so true to form, and for giving me these images of them so little to smile at every time I look at them.

Rod & Erin are getting married!

Rod and Erin were so easy to photograph. They, along with their beautiful daughter met up with me to celebrate their engagement, by capturing some images of their family. Enjoy your photos and I'm excited to shoot your wedding this spring!
