Baby Josie

Before the holidays i never got a chance to give baby Josie a proper Blog post. I had it all prepped and ready to go and actually thought i had posted it already. While slowly getting back to the grind i discovered i hadn't actually posted it yet.

So, without further ado here's a 2010 session rolling into 2011...

I had the pleasure of photographing lil Josie who is in some ways part of my family, well she's a part of my sister's family, which makes her my part her mine :)

She's such a lil doll and was an absolute joy to photograph! Here are a few images from our session in Mel's and Jay's beautiful home.

She could have hung out in the bucket and dresser drawer all day, such a content & happy baby.

Survivorman {Daxton}

It's easy to lose perspective this time of year, easily forgetting what the holidays are about, losing track of what truly matters. Busy running around getting ready for Christmas, overspending on gifts, overindulging on food and drinks.

Funny how it only takes a lil guy like Daxton to remind us of what really matters, something we all take for granted... life.

A little over 3 months ago Daxton Oliver McKenzie came into this world, first baby born to proud parents Jessica and Clint McKenzie.

Daxton appeared to be the picture of health until a nurse noticed his coloring was off. They discovered Daxton was born with a heart defect called transposition of the greater arteries (when the aorta is where the pulmonary artery is and vise versa).

He was quickly airlifted to Sick Kids Hospital where he underwent heart surgery a few days later. Thanks to the very capable surgeons at Sick Kids Daxton survived. After the intense stress and worry the family endured they were ecstatic and relieved to find out that Daxton is now healthy and strong. Daxton and his family were given the best gift a family could ask for... life.

Survivorman... this is what they call him.

He was so content in this bucket... i almost think he enjoyed being in there.

Precious feet.

Hamming it up for the camera...

Nothing better than baby giggles...

Daxton in the Christmas spirit.

Such a happy baby boy.

Auntie Christine came along for the shoot... had to get a shot of the sisters with Dax.

The Drysdales

I'm loving this rainy day Friday. I feel like i need a couple days of rain to really get some work done indoors. It's been so hard to spend hours in front of the computer screen editing while the sun is beaming outside.

A couple weeks ago when the heat was absolutely unbearable (i swear it was the hottest day yet this summer) i spent the afternoon snapping some shots of the Drysdale family. Despite running after the two cuties while sweating buckets, i had a great time. I'm really surprised they lasted that long outdoors, it was literally a thick wall of steaming hot humidity!


I have to say i've never seen such fabulous curls on a little girl, Jada's curls are just wild!

Peek - a - boo

Such a lil man Logan is.

Big Browns eyes.

Siblings

Bonjour!

I'm still here! I know it's been ages since my last post but i'm back!

June was such a hectic month for me. Between the road trip, patio sangrias, long wkds with the girls by the beach and family time by the pool; it's hard to fit in a spare moment to blog... let alone edit all the fabulouis shoots i've had in the last month!!

This is a shoot i did a few weeks ago of Andrea and her siblings. They wanted some pics of themselves as a gift for their mom on her 60th birthday, what a great idea!

I've known Andrea for a few years now and it was great to meet her sisters and her Harley driving brother. I had such a great time shooting them in Hillsburgh, especially since the afternoon turned out to be a beautiful one filled with clear, sunny blue skies.

I also snapped a few of 'lil Leah who was tagging along for the shoot, what a cutie she is!

Adorable 'lil Leah!

Sporting her amish-esque hatwear.

Just like a sunflower...
