Meet Aiden. He is exactly as cute as his big brothers. A little longer session then usual, but so worth it eh mom? I’d say we got an albums worth of images for you to scrapbook. :)

Capturing the time

Posted on August 26, 2009

This handsome guy is almost 18 months.  This age keeps parents on their toes as toddlers seem to get into everything (see prior post). It’s neat though how curious they are and how they discover and learn new things every day.  At this session a simple stick and my new wagon kept him quite entertained. :)

Love this shot of him looking for the stick he lost in the boardwalk cracks…

Wedding Florals and Decor

Posted on August 20, 2009

I’ve really been enjoying my work with My Bouquet and Simply Beautiful this summer. We’ve captured some of the most beautiful florals I have ever seen and gorgeous linens and elaborate decor at some of the finest Niagara venues! (I will add that the owners of these businesses and their staff are the BEST people you would ever have the opportunity to work with!)

These images are from a wedding at Chateau Des Charmes in Niagara on the Lake. Florals by My Bouquet and decor by Simply Beautiful.

Prior to the reception the ceremony took place in the vineyards at Cave Springs in Beamsville. I thought it was stunning! Total elegance!

A Toddler amongst us

Posted on August 3, 2009

You know you are living with a toddler when:

you think a bum is cute….

IMG_0407-51

you admire little shoes and then actually buy them …

IMG_0477-73

you’re always lending a hand (or finger) …

 IMG_0735-10

you are always on your toes (ESPECAILLY when they are)…

 IMG_0466-70

watching a game of fetch is actually entertaining..

 IMG_0411-54b

you see old things through new eyes again…

IMG_0332-29

and again….

IMG_0355-39

an old borrowed toy that entertains for 40 minutes feels like a (another) gift from heaven…

IMG_0715-7

you take the extra, extra, extra long way home even with ice cream in the trunk….

IMG_8692-10

you tell your teenage daughter to keep applying MORE make-up … 

IMG_0307-22

your heart overflows with joy OFTEN ….
