Women have a boudoir shoot for a variety of reasons , for themselves as a confidence boost, celebrating their body after a change, a gift for their loved one, because they deserve it.  I even have husbands requesting shoots for their wife’s, so that “she can see the beauty that I see”. Boudoir photography is a genre of photography where a women is photographed in the most flattering way, while being sensual and seductive.  It is classy, modern and an experience that I recommend to all women.   It’s so rewarding and empowering.

What is a lifestyle newborn shoot?  A lifestyle newborn photoshoot is generally at your home and is all about the connection and love between the family members, including siblings, and the baby.  This style of shoot is less posed and more natural.  Think of it as a photographer looking in on your environment and capturing those special moments as they unfold.   It’s about capturing your story with beautiful natural images of your new baby.

(“Mum, don’t you dare get out of the car!”)  One morning I woke up feeling slightly on the wrong side of the wonderful and I donned my less than vogue PJs/Trackie pants outfit to drop off the kids. As I arrived home I decided that a mood change was required and the morning was too beautiful to be wasted, so I grabbed my camera and my hairy children (the dogs) and off to lake we went.

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.
