He Had My Heart At The First Giggle!


I have had the opportunity to photograph Ethan from birth, 3 months and now 6months. I would have been able to photograph his mom's maternity shot if he hadn't decided to not wait around any longer and came pre-mature.

Everytime I see him I am amazed to see him becoming the "little man". But when he looked at his mom and dad and started to giggle and laugh, my heart went out to him. Such a little bundle and already so full of laughter and love. Life is amazing!

Wow, I'm Excited

It has just been announced that two of my salon prints entered in the Professional Photographers of Canada National Image Competition at London, Ontario have won Awards of Merit. A panel of Master Photographers from across Canada judged the prints prior to the Annual National Convention.
The print - I Love You Too - captures the raw emotions of the bride's grandmother when she viewed her granddaughter for the first time on her wedding day. This print holds special significance to all of us, for within one month of the wedding, the grandmother suffered a severe loss of her capabilities. It was as if she was holding on to see her granddaughter on her wedding day.
The second image - Final Touches - was a magical moment as the early morning light outlined the blacksmith and her horse as she clinched the shoe. The light was softly difused through the dust that had been stirred up just moments before in the indoor arena. This was captured in the Catskills, New York.
