Smith Family

This is what it's all about -- family. Being together, preserving the moment. Being able to look back and wonder at how much the kids have grown.

Robinson Family

Just look at this gorgeous family! But it's no surprise...mom is in the business of beauty -- she's an awesome hair stylist and owner of Creative Images Hair Studio. I must have had something funny hanging on my camera lens, because the kids caught a funny case of the giggles -- which I love! Thanks to Dad (John) for playing portrait with us -- won't make you do it again for a little while, ok?

Barrey Family

This was such a fun family! It was so great to meet them and have some fun with the camera :) This was our second location shoot and little Ivy was so thrilled to get to 'model' for me. She's already looking forward to next year's pics!

Shelly's Belly

I have the best neighbours! This neighbour in particular is also a great friend -- wasn't it nice of Shelly to get preggo with bubba #4 just so I could take more belly pics and have another gorgeous newborn to snap!? What a woman :) Again, another gorgeous gal and photogenic family. Sure makes my job easy!

Stay tuned around the end of October...gonna be a bumper crop of newbies filling up my lens by then! Ahhh... I can smell the baby powder already :)

Baby on the Way!

This gal, Tina, is my best friend. (Doesn't she have a gorgeous family?!) She is about to join my ranks as a mom-of-three. She is in a league of her own, however, when it comes to strength, courage and faith. At about the same time they were blessed with pregnancy #3, Tina and husband Mike found out that their son Gabriel has leukemia. Gabriel is strong though (like his mom) and we know he is at the beginning of a long journey back to health. This is an unimaginable time in their lives and I feel very fortunate to be able to help in the smallest way -- by preserving this moment of celebration in photos.

Please take a moment to reflect on the blessings in your own life.

3 Little Loves

Connor


Abby


Ryan

These three kiddos are my little loves :) They are my go-to models when I want to try something new...they are used to posing for Mommy's camera now after all these years. I will be photographing hair models soon for the new website photo gallery of a talented local hair stylist. These shots are my 'work in progress' in arranging a background and lighting for the shoot. I couldn't resist sharing them here though. I love Connor's apprehensive smile, Abby's wistful glance and Ryan's straightforward stare.

Serenity Yoga

I was thrilled when my yoga teacher, Annette, asked me to do the photography for the new website that she and her business partner, Lisa, would soon be launching for their Serenity Yoga studio. Here is a sneak peek at some of the pictures! They are both skilled yoga practitioners and knowledgeable teachers. If you live in the Woodstock area and have ever thought about trying yoga, I highly recommend taking a class with Annette or Lisa -- you'll love it! And they have classes to accommodate beginners to advanced students. For more information you can reach Annette at (519) 532-9528.
