Kids! March 3, 2010: Holly walked into my studio and was immediately "working the camera"! She was more then ready and willing to have her photo taken first. She was amazing with the poses, just look at these images! Her brother Zane was a bit more shy, but once he realized it didn't hurt, we had alot of fun and in the end I ended up letting them take a couple photos of their mom! Zane and Holly, you guys are amazing, you can come back anytime...and your mom ain't so bad either...lol, love ya Jod!!!

Wedding Videos February 1, 2010: Everyone should check out www.epic-videography.com Amazing videographer and I highly recommend this company! Check them out...tell them I sent you! =); So pumped that my images made it on the cover of Your Wedding Imagine magazine! This was on our Don't Box Me In session that we did this summer - which was such a blast and can't wait to do more this summer! The hot model is my BFF Melissa!! If you are interested in boxing or getting more info about a Don't Box Me In session - give me a call I'd love to tell you more about it!; I didn't think it was possible - it's suppose to be "fun in the sun" not "fun in the snow"...but this afternoon I attempted to bundle up...for those of you that know me must be laughing already at the thought of this as I hate winter! But I took my camera with me and had alot of fun with my nephews. I had to prove to them that Auntie Mar could drive a quad, and took them for a few quick rides before Auntie Laura took over...thankfully!! Anyway, here's one shot (of many) that I took this afternoon of Darren attempting to start a snowball fight with me!; Wow how time flys...that makes me sound old doesn't it?! lol On December 27th I did this photo session for the Johnson and Bedard family. They were all getting together for a Christmas gathering, and what a perfect time to get your family photos taken! I brought my studio lights over to their house and was able to take photos of each of the family units, as well as an entire family shot! There were lots of laughs...and thanks to Leon for being my translator as I can not speak french, or at least not yet! The special thing about this family is that there were 5 new babies born in 2009 - they are called the "Fabulous 5" - so needless to say, getting their photo was quite entertaining! I'm just posting 2 images from this session as there are so many I had to narrow it down to 2! Enjoy.; Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe 2010 is here! I am truly looking forward to this next year - we get possession of our new home this February where I will be able to have a studio in my home!!!! Just before Christmas I was able to photograph Rosanna and Scott as they are anticipating the arrival of their first baby!! What made this session so special to me was that a few years back I photographed their wedding. It was so great to catch up and hang out - although I did promise Scott it would only take 1 hour...and I stuck to my word and it took one hour EXACTLY...lol!! Thanks for being such a great sport Scott! You guys look fantastic and are so much fun to work with!! Thank you for allowing me to capture these memories for you. I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks to photograph the newest member to your family.; Tis the Season for Family!!! These are some of my favorite images from our 30 minute photo session! It was fast and it was fun! Christmas seems to always creep up on us, but so glad we got these done in time...and in time to print some Christmas cards! Merry Christmas everyone!; Wes, Stella & Olivia were a blast to photograph! I mean, come on, look at Olivia, how can you not fall in love with her? By the end she was tired of me and my camera, but she did fantastic! We even managed to get a few family photos in as well! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your family for the day!; Isn't he precious? Congrats to Jody & Mark - Ethan is perfect! Thanks so much for allowing me into your home to capture some of these fleeting moments with Ethan! I look forward to watching him grow!!

Don't Box Me In August 8th 2009: Inside everyone women is a supermodel that is dying to be let out - Don’t Box Me allows this to happen. It is a photo shoot designed for the Bride that wants to do it all over again...I mean the dress, hair and makeup...not the wedding part! Don’t Box Me In allows the bride to wear her dress again and do things she wouldn’t have done on her wedding day - climb a bale, go swimming, ride a roller-coaster the list is endless. It’s time to let loose and have fun without the stress and the pressure of the wedding day. You can be as creative as you want to and get some amazing photos out of it. Don’t Box Me In is a chance to wear the dress again...you paid enough for it, it begs to be worn again and to “not be boxed in”. Check out www.epic-videography.com for video footage of this event as well.
