This photoshoot was taken at the family home in early Autumn.  I’m always nervous before a photoshoot, will the clothing work, how is the light, what is my background, but I’m never really nervous about the kids.  I haven’t had a session yet when I haven’t been able to work with the children.  For me my first task it to create a connection with them, so that they relax and I can direct them while still having some fun. Matt & Laura’s kids were an absolute delight, the clothing was perfect and their were several options around the house to shot from. To View More >>

What is it about fun and laughter that is so contagious?   Justin and Sharon’s wedding had such fun and hilarity that it still makes me smile whenever I think of it.  I started the morning capturing Sharon getting ready and the giggles started there. The fun intensified at the ceremony at Edgewater Resort, with an awesome boogie down the aisle (one of my favourite shots). Love and gales of laughter punctuated the whole day and being able to capture such joy in their photos was a real treat.  This beautiful wedding was about them, their love for each other and for life itself.

Turning 13 is a big deal, your life is changing, you’re moving from being a girl to a young woman. What a wonderful idea to capture that time with a photo shoot. For this kind of photography, I always sit down with the client before the shoot and talk through what a lifestyle shoot is about and what should be included.  For Libby this included who was to be part of her shoot, what things where important to her and where her favourite places are.  My goal is to incorporate this in the shoot and to use the time to create a feeling of trust, familiarity and comfort between us.

I often take snaps of my children but don't often take time out of my busy life to take those special images that will go into albums, be sent to grandparents and go on my walls.   Inspiration comes at all sorts of times, but for my somewhat impromptu family shoot, the location and the bed formed into a plan while I was on a run.  The bed was outside someone’s house with a sign "take me" and that’s what I did - well with my husband, Dale.  He did think it was a bit odd when I told him I wanted to take it down to the lake. It was the end of summer, golden hour, so beautiful To View More >>
