This little munchkin could melt any heart. Little Lexi is only eight months old and I can already tell she’s going to be a heartbreaker: she was definitely breaking mine! Of course her handsome older brother got the best smiles out of her without even having to try. We even got some bonus photos him too. [...]
When I was a kid I loved Halloween and not for the dressing up part, although that was pretty fun too, it was the candy. I loooooved the candy. When we got home from trick or treating my sister and I would dump our pillowcases of sugar filled heaven out on the the living room [...]
Matt and Genevieve met through her sister. He never thought she’d fall for him but of course she couldn’t resist his charm. During our session, it was easy to see how much fun these two must have together. Genevieve’s beautiful smile could put anyone at ease and there was a certain gentle manner they shared. [...]
We were so lucky that this Fall day ended up being so beautiful. With another location originally in mind, we switched spots just in case we needed to take shelter from the rain and possibly the snow. Fortunately though, it was bright and sunny and perfect and warm so we ended up taking all of [...]
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is an animated television special, based on the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. It was the third Peanuts special (and first Halloween special) to be produced and animated by Bill Meléndez. Its initial broadcast took place on October 27, 1966, on CBS. I was surprised to learn that [...]
These photos remind me of the ocean. Maybe it’s something about the eldest daughter’s windswept red hair but Cape Cod comes to mind. Hmmm, what a great idea for another session. Anyways, this gorgeous family of six was a whirlwind of fun to photograph inside and out. We started with calm time inside and then [...]
This was one of those incredible weddings where the bride and groom go with the flow and as a result there is a laid back feeling of ease, happiness and of course love. It didn’t hurt that the sun was shining like crazy and the fall colours were everywhere creating a crisp and cozy feeling [...]
When I got home last night there was an adorable little package from Jose Villa waiting for me. I guess I should start thinking about packing but really what will I need? Me, myself and my camera - YIPEEEEE! Now this kinda school is right up my alley. In case you weren’t around yet when I [...]
Do you have old keys lying around the house but no idea where they came from or what they open? I love old keys. They remind me of one of my all time favorite children’s movies The Secret Garden. I found this one recently in an antique shop and it’s so tiny you could wear [...]
These photos were taken on 10.10.10. When written in binary it is 101010, which is 42, which is the meaning of life, the universe and everything (so says The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). Which is all very fitting seeing as these three people (four if you count Farley who thinks he’s people) are a [...]
On our wedding day my mother-in-law handed my husband his grandfather’s pocket watch. It was a surprise to him and one of his most cherished parts of the day. We’ve since discovered that it was made between 1867-1881 by a company once called the National Watch Company. The name of the company soon changed to Elgin [...]
I love these photos. Is it okay to say that? I guess I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: each time I meet a new family and their precious children I feel like the photos that come out of it are my new favorites. These little twins were only two of the star [...]
My great-grandfather Merritt Heaton lived to be 98 years old. He was a farmer in Illinois and lived in a white house on a hill not un-similar to the one in the movie Psycho. But this house was calm and sweet, with a water well in the front yard and 235 acres of beautiful farmland [...]
