A couple of weeks ago I had a family portrait session with the owner of my daughter’s daycare and her family.  This is definitely the time of year for family portrait sessions as the weather is getting warmer and flowers are starting to bloom.

Most of the people that I work with  value the moments that they have as a family and want to capture that in print.  I am honored to be able to help families document their history/her-stories to pass on to the future generation.

The keepsakes and photographs that we pass on to our children will mean so much more to them as they get older.

I have this really old photograph of my grandmother and me as a baby.  This  photo means so much to me because I  never got to know her, she passed away when I was about four and a half.  Growing up, every time that we pulled out the photographs and landed on that one,  my parents would tell stories of how much my grandmother doted on me and took me everywhere and loved to spoil me rotten.  Now every time I look at that picture I remember the stories and always feel that my grandmother is with me, still loving me always.

When was the last time you reminisced over old photos or added new ones to your life story.

I have added a few shots from the session.

Take Care,

This past Friday I headed to my daughter’s daycare in Ajax to photograph her and her tiny friends.  It was an uber fun, fast paced and crazy day.  I have to say that “N” the beloved owner of our cherished home daycare (Merry Tots Daycare) is another “she-ro” of mine….. she manages to keep these little ones engaged and happy with the most creative activities and her beautiful spirit, it is truly amazing to watch.

I normally work with no more than two children at a time and they are usually sleeping babies.  So you can imagine  my initiation into the world of 5 little ones, 19mths-2yrs old!

Here is just a quick sample.  More to be added to my portfolio in the next 2 weeks.

As a girl I always thought it would be cool to have twins, once I became a mother of one…not so much.  I have to say I have a profound respect for mothers of multiples as being a mother is one of the hardest jobs on the planet and then multiply it, wow!

So with that being said I had my first opportunity to Shoot “J & J” who were 10 days old and I was able to truly experience what life is really like with twins.  I really want “A”, mother of the twins to know how much she is my she-ro.

I also had to include a shot of her older children “E & A”, as they were so helpful and are beautiful little people.

Have a beautiful day
