Destination Wedding -Montreal

2009-09-22T05:43:00.000-07:00

Roxanne & Cory

My first destination wedding and I'm so glad my partner/husband

was with me to share in this fantastic experience. This 3 day event

was so exciting, I had never been to Old Montreal and it was as

beautiful as the bride told me it would be. I can't imagine pulling

off a destination wedding and having all those loose ends to pull

together but they did a phenominal job and it was fun for

everyone. Take a peak. Oh, btw...it was no easy feat going through

1800 images and trying to pick out the best for this couple.

J&J Sneak Peek

Jaiden & Justin
Jaiden loves the camera, and her violin...I couldn't wait
to shoot photos with the violin once her mother told me she
played. Then there was Justin, little Justin. Only 3 but
he was determined he had his own agenda. And in the
end I got a hug. I was pleased as punch. Can't wait to
work with these 2 again. They made my job so easy.

Tea Parties and Teddy Bear Picnics

Specializing in on-location photography is where I feel most comfortable with children. Forget the studio, let their imagination run wild and nurture those fun, innocent times. My friend Lynda contacted me about photographing her grandchildren, and it was so much fun watching these children at play. I've never seen a grandma with so many props, it was awesome. Feel free to contact me to book your own special childrens' day shoot and get creating those memories.

Roxanne & Cory Sneak Peek

2009-08-14T06:36:00.000-07:00

Well, my first time in Old Montreal and doing a destination wedding for a friend couldn't have turned out any better. Roxanne and Cory did a splendid job at planning things from home to make sure their special day was perfect. This 3 day event brought my husband and I insight into what it takes to plan a destination wedding. Our first day in Montreal we ran into Cory at the hotel. We spent the next few hours being taxied around by this young couple finalizing last minute details. Then the day of the wedding. No matter how much you plan for a beautiful day, you can't make the rain go away. But go away it did right after the ceremony, just in time for post ceremony shots through Old Montreal and a 3 hour cruise around the harbour. Thanks Cory & Roxanne for an unforgettable experience. Congrats again. You deserve it.

ps, mobile photographers at your service...give me a call to discuss your destination wedding.

ok, how adorable are my grandbabies...can't resist an update every now and then.

Kim & Dave
With the perfect weather for an outdoor wedding, this couple couldn't have had a better day. You need to know their sense of humour to get a jist of how the day went, but you couldn't ask for a more fun couple as a photographer. Thanks for letting me be a part of it guys. You were fantastic, and all the best.

Ballerina Kelsey
After a photoshoot with Kelsey and her mom, Kelsey donned a pink tutu to amuse me. These shots were taken, and a natural she is.

Baby A

Ok, now you've seen my first sneak peek of baby A. She is so adorable. I can't believe summer is so far underway and Im just updating now. There has been such a variety of photo shoots it's kept me busy. (I'm not complaining lol).

Wedding Season

Ok, now for a wedding update. I'm excited to put a challenge out there to my friends far and near. If you live anywhere in the US or Canada and need a photojournalistic wedding photographer, don't hesitate to contact us. Have camera, will travel. (note: travel expenses will apply)

But I could think of nothing more fun than to be where you are on your special day, capturing your memories.

Retro Fest was a hit as it is every year in Chatham Kent. We are so fortunate to have RM Classic and Dukes H-D beside each other. Due to the "Retro" theme, I've decided to edit in retro style. Here is a sneek peak at some of my favourites from Dukes, car photos and more from Dukes to follow at a later update.

With spring colours inspiring us, even if things are just waking in bloom. Outdoor photoshoots are my favourite, this one with a touch of rustic. Relaxed, Jake, Jess and Kharington had fun. Thanks guys for coming out on such a windy day.

introducing...Kharington Grace

2009-02-17T17:48:00.000-08:00

my newest granddaughter arrived a week early, and we couldn't be more elated. Mommy, daddy and baby are doing great. Here is a sneak peak at Kharington Grace. Hopefully as she grows you see her spirit, and personality captured. From grandma's point of view of course.

Michele & Dan

2009-02-01T18:35:00.000-08:00

You would think January would be too cold to think of a wedding. Not for Michele and Dan, they not only picked a freezing day but pulled it off with flair and warmth. Their love was shared to keep everyone warm at heart. Thanks for letting me be part of your day. The bride donned a beautiful red dress and the grooms' tux was white with the entourage in black. All the best in the years to come.

Trash the Dress

2009-01-15T18:12:00.001-08:00

Stephanie was my first "Trash the Dress" bride. While most couples are on their way to their honeymoon the next day, Stephanie was braving the cold waters of Lake Erie and trapsing through forests for these wonderful shots. What a lot of fun. Thanks Stephanie for the great shoot.

Cards, Announcements

2009-01-15T17:46:00.000-08:00

I've never had so much fun outside of photography as I have creating these cards. Each one custom to the individuality of each person/child.

Baby It's Cold Outside

2009-01-15T17:28:00.000-08:00

Seasons come and go but winter does not slow down the production of those cute, cuddly little creatures we call: babies. How fun it is to photograph them. Keeping up with the artistic side of photography, I'll add some of my custom made cards. Each photoshoot for children will include personalized cards. Enjoy, and I'm sure this will be updated frequently.
