On Halloween day I had the special privilege of photographing my super sweet photographer friends Tiffany & Alex from Life Images with their most adorable little boys, Jomei and Tayus (aka “Tay Tay”). Can I tell you how cute they are? Just take a look at them in these photos! We ended up shooting the entire day!……until the sun came down (which resulted in some pretty dramatic images which you’ll see below). The boys’ various and ever so cute expressions were so much fun to capture. Take a look at what we got……Enjoy!
The adorable Jomei enjoying his lollipop!
Little Tay-Tay!
Both Tiffany & Alex were so easy going in front of the camera…..being awesome photographers themselves, they know how to work it…….love Tiff’s natural laugh in this one!




The boys strolling down the alley
Tiff & Alex…It was so much fun spending the day with you all. I had such a blast photographing your family….you are truly blessed with the most adorable little boys.
Love you guys!
(and big squishes for the boys) :o)

12 years ago I photographed Jessica + Jonathon….2 adorable little children who were 6 years old at the time. I recently was asked to take some updated photos of the kids……..who are now 18! I just couldn’t wait to see how they had grown. So I showed up at their home and was greeted by a tall, handsome man! It was Jonathon! And I couldn’t beleive how Jessica had grown! She is a very sweet, beautiful girl. They are both so gorgeous. I just couldn’t get over how much time has gone by. Here are some of their 1996 photos… and now their 2008 photos! (Even back then I was into the “grungy” ruins look)

Ahhhhh……the good ‘ol days! I dug up the old negs and dusted them off. Do I miss the days of cutting and taping each neg onto appropriate Masks from A-E according to how much you wanted cropped?…….hmmmm……..no. But then again, photoshop was never touched, and what you see is what you get!

I had to scan these negs to even be able to put them on the blog. Back then, I shot most of my casual sessions in Sepia. The negs had a magenta colour to them. To get the sepia, I actually processed XP2 B&W film in C41 (colour). It’s crazy when I hear that some photographers have never worked with, or even seen 2 1/4 inch negs! (I’m feeling really old now)

How adorable? If you havn’t noticed yet…..Jessica and Jonathan are twins, and she will tell you that she is very proud to be the eldest twin………by a whole minute!!

You can’t see it in this photo, but Jonathon’s teeth are still the same! I could not get over how much he reminded me of David Blaine! (the magician). His voice and entire demeanor were identical! It was crazy! (by the way……just kidding about the teeth thing…….ha! :o)

Spring is here! Time for snails and silly things!
I am starting to feel especially refreshed at this time, and so I am including a special gift to anyone booking their children’s lifestyle session over the next week….until April 6th. (Photo session may take place anytime this spring).
Let’s go out…..breathe some fresh air…..and have some fun!

I took a 2 week break out in Nova Scotia where the air is fresh! I needed to rest my eyes from computer overload and the craziness of the season. My sister and her family live just outside of Halifax, so it was great to connect again and see how the kids have grown! (Alot of the following photos were taken with my point-and-shoot since I hadn’t planned on shooting, and so didn’t bring my entire gear with me….but I had to shoot…couldn’t help it!)
Somehow I always experience the really neat stuff……..like being there just in time to see “Noel” wreak havoc. I thought the house was going to come down! Here’s a shot I took in Queensland, NS.
During the last day of my stay, I took the car and started driving. Where? I don’t know. I wanted to be surprised. And I needed to shoot again since I was feeling a little deprived. Well….I experienced so many things along the way, and met lots of kind people. It was just beautiful! 


This is the bottom part of the Bay of Fundy. The tides come in and out……and when there out…….they leave quite an interesting display of PURE MUD.
I had such a great conversation with a farmer, and the owner of these vintage tractors, which he still uses! Eugene was such a sweet man who so happily gave me the entire history of all his equipment! (I’ll try to post a photo of him later). The middle one is a 1964!



This is by far the largest Rubix Cube I’ve ever seen !
Mr. Cow kept a close eye on me in case I got too close to his herd.
And here is sweet Bianca. (She was practicing for Halloween night)

Now Darius was quite interesting. The last time I saw him, he could barely walk on his own. Now he can read this entire book in one day! He has a collection of books, really thick ones, which he reads in less than 2 days!

And so it’s Halloween……I don’t normally participate in this, but the kids were really looking forward to their Auntie walking with them. Well, my sister walked, and I took photos!

As you can see……we had a “Wizard of Oz” theme going on. My sister was quite creative in making all of their costumes….from scratch!

And here’s Darius as the “Tin Man”. (Poor guy could barely move)
Here is Kristian! What a happy boy. He is the beautiful blessing of Diane & Richard……..whose wedding I photographed back in 2004, and now had the pleasure of forever capturing their little boy’s adorable expressions. What a cutie!

I loved the colour scheme in Kristian’s room


Uh….oh…..not a happy camper……
