Timeless...

There is nothing that needs to be said about this image. It entirely speaks for itself.

A Little Fun in the Studio





Some of these guys are just too much fun. It's always quite funny to hear the commotion and antics coming from Jerry as he works the camera to catch these images. Sorry Jerry...I have to say that he loves his job! When the day is done and the parents view the images, it's definitely all worth it!

On The Move


This beautiful little girl was just go go go...so fun to capture her spirit and energy. Imagine how precious this collection will be a few years down the road. Or when this little one has her own little ones!?

Boy, Oh Boy!

Have to say that catching this moment was a bit of a challenge...but so worth it!

Tiny Treasures

It's awesome to be doing portraits for some good friends. Just had to post this adorable collection from their baby session.

Up To No Good...

Check out this mischievous look! This is just precious. I'll bet that mom and dad are familiar with this look...

Pretty Awesome Winter Portraits!



Who says portraits aren't the best in the winter. Both of these sessions were in the last few weeks and the images turned out amazing. The yellows in the grass add just the right touch for a winter portrait.

These guys flew in from England for the weekend and managed to fit in a family portrait session. It was awesome how it just worked out perfectly to get the family together. We were able to catch some really great moments in there session too. This one is really special.
It's always exciting to capture a moment like this one. It's a pretty awesome portrait.




Being a horse lover myself I just had to post this panel. Erin was a winner of a grad session and chose to include in this a super fun session with her horse. Gorgeous portraits. I love these!

There is something amazing about this image. The light reflecting softly on the water as the sky opens up in the background. It's absolutely beautiful.



These families had the right idea including their old trucks in their family portraits. These are totally awesome!! You can see in the top panel that it was just starting to rain but still ideal for the shot.

Grad Portraits




We recently enjoyed photographing grads from the NIC Nursing Program. The portraits turned out fantastic. And so deserved after all the student's hard work . Congratulations to all the grads!

Despite some unpredictable weather conditions we've been taking some great shots. This portrait session at Goose Spit turned out totally awesome!
