Please forgive the absence, our family has been having f.u.n. in Rapid City, South Dakota for the last week. And apart from getting completely freaked out by a radio announcer who told us that we would be smack dab in the middle of a probable tornado within five minutes, it was a great trip. But, […]

When I asked who pursued who, Dieter quickly responded with, “Kate did.” very matter-of-fact-like. She blushed and couldn’t deny it. They both found themselves lifeguarding at a local complex and Dieter longingly referred to Kate as ‘one of the Kathleen’s’ to his friends. It wasn’t long before they fell for the other and 5 and […]

Some of us have celebrities who we follow, wondering if we’ll ever get a chance to meet any of them face-to-face. Now I’m not really one to follow and gawk at those capital-C “Celebs,” but there are a few obscure people whom I consider “famous” in my world. This past week I got a chance to not only meet one of […]

They met years ago and soon afterward became boy(friend) and girl(friend)….and when they met again on May 1st, 2010, they became husband and wife. Every wedding that I get the honour of being a part of makes me think of the magnitude of this commitment. These vows that a groom whispers to his bride as […]

This recent tropical weather has got me feeling like we’re living in another time zone. I won’t complain. There’s something to be said about seeing buds on all the trees and tiny perrennials popping up from the ground on your way to the library, or a picnic. A neighbour of ours went swimming out at […]

This girl shows up with her mama and big sis in tow, to have a little photo shoot all her own. She decides to come to my house (maybe at my suggestion) where I’ll set up our portable studio. And, seeing as how her mom and I are pretty good friends, and my boys and […]

I had the most wonderful privilege to document two very dear friends as they welcomed their little girl into the world. What an honour it is to be in the presence of two people as they go from man and woman, husband and wife, friends and lovers to mom and dad. The beautiful moment when […]

Shooting a commercial with LUX was an experience that left us wanting more. More dresses please! Luckily for us (ahem, me), they’re receiving new styles all the time and with the graduation season coming up, I’ve heard through a little bird that their are some pretty amazing things to be seen over at this little […]

It was cold, but it was still mild enough to not have to bundle up in winter hats and scarves. Is anyone else thankful for the amazing weather this year? These guys were trying to hide their shivers from me, and if I didn’t see their fingers shaking, I would never have known how cold […]

Pulling up to this couples’ home was surreal. They live in one of the most picturesque parts of Thunder Bay. I’ve been excited to do these guys’ pictures since we met on that blistery night in Starbucks. The excitement that they both had in marrying the other was all together refreshing and beautiful. I’ll be […]
