A little Banana

Miss “C” is one of my banana newborns. Nice and bendy (7 days fresh) and jaundice (yellow). Does this affect the ubber cuteness and perfection of a newborn? No chance. Just look at these wonderful pics….

Twins Boys

I have once again had the good fortune of shooting newborn twins! A little trickier to get both boys to settle at the same time during this session, but sometimes you only need a split second to capture a great portrait (even if you cheated to get someone’s eyes to close )

Sweet peas…

I’d loved this photo for mom and dad’s expressions… I can just imagine some of the thoughts that run through their mind as they get used to the new family additions… ‘lucky’, ‘crazy’, ‘blessed’, ‘help’ – at least their still smiling

Two Brothers

How adorable are these two? I recently met these boys when I needed someone to practice some new lighting techniques on (great timing mom). My newborn model was great, but his big brother was an unexpected bonus for me. He was very friendly and happy to pose for me. Here’s a few of my favourites;

*Someone* figured out how to get to the snack cupboard.

and yes, my kitchen is a little dated. Wedge-wood blue and butcher block – I loved the early 90’s! (No decorative cows or chickens though LOL)

Image with a story

I loved this picture taken by Sarah of Black ink Photography in Montreal (who assisted me) at Mandy and Tim’s wedding this past saturday. That’s me in the middle with my snazzy photographer boots and (totally awesome) Shootsac. The location is downtown Niagara on the Lake, a very popular tourist destination – hence the additional shooters behind me.

More wedding images later this month……..

Wedding Products

I was so excited to receive the custom wedding album from Nicole and Markus’ Wedding. These images don’t do this album justice. The colour is yummy perfection (not on this post though). The construction and quality is hard to capture here on the web, but trust me, it’s simply STUNNING. It was hard passing this over to the bride but I will bring in more samples to have on hand. I’m just so impressed with the album.

We took one of the best portraits and created the cover……..

Then inside, we told the story of this special day. The album is 12×12 and made with Italian leather. The pages are not photo paper or magazine like but much thicker (this is where I have to email my album maker to get details). When open, the album lays completely flush. The binding is flawless.

The following are samples of some of the album pages. My style is simple and clean. These are the 12×24 spreads, so you are looking at 7 examples of the left page and right page. I hope that makes sense?

and I thought it would finally share the 5×7 custom cards created last summer. Two styles since we could not decide on a favourite wedding portrait. (These pictures were not shared in the original wedding post since we wanted ’save’ them for the cards.)

Everlasting, timeless memories preserved forever. Love it.
