Year in Review

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to a wonderful 2011!

Well, I have been trying for a couple of days to upload some of my favourite moments captured in 2010...with little luck! The uploader has allowed far fewer images than the 50 I picked to share. So, here is a very quick year in review from some of my sessions in 2010 (excluding the first few months of the 2010 - which were already archived) Enjoy!

Best shoes EVER!

Okay, so I could have done an entire post on sexy pink shoes...but, seeing as how I might be the only one who would enjoy that I'll share a few more shots from Deb and Donny's November wedding. It was a gorgeous day and a beautiful location. The wedding was fantastic...and the bridal shoes were to die for...take a peek! :-)

Congratulations Deb and Donny!

Where did October go?

Okay...I did one blog post in October...which means one of 2 things - nothing to blog about or no time to blog. The reason for my lack of blogging is simply my busy schedule. I am currently working at my full-time job, taking a university course one night a week, spending weekends with a camera in my hand and trying to spend time with my family. So, I figured now that November is here I better post something before this month slips away from me too. So, here are a few photos of an adorable little girl. I have photographed Mariah 4 times in the last year and a bit...and she gets cuter EVERY time. Just check out this little GAP ad baby! So adorable!

Deidra is ONE!

When Deidra's mom invited me to capture some special images of her 1 year old I was more than happy to do it. Mom was totally prepared with a cute little onsie and tutus to match. She didn't care about backdrops or the perfect pose or location...all she wanted was to capture her little girl as a one year old. She was such a sweetie!

Editing Process

When it comes to photography and the editing process one of the first things we do is edit out the shots that didn't work - the subject was moving, looking the wrong way, etc., but sometimes those photos are MY favourite. The pictures that really capture the personality of a child, family or event aren't the ones that are directed and posed - they are the ones where life unfolds in front of the camera. After going through Isaac's role I found a few that may have been sent to the trash by some photographers, but to me they represent everything this little 2 year old is! Enjoy!

Isaac having a moment with mom - a few tears were shed, but mom was there to comfort him.

Isaac covered his mouth with giggles when I snapped this shot and even though you can't see his whole face I think it's more playful than just a smile!

Isaac was standing in front of this brick wall when he saw a tractor that was more interesting, so off he went!

Summer

As you may have noticed this summer my blogs have been far and few between. A hot summer meant lots of vacation time for me and my family...so I spent very little time on the computer. I did take a pile of photos this summer though, of families, babies and weddings...but instead of sharing those with you I decided to make this post a little more personal. These are a few of the moments I captured this summer with my family. I like to capture our life in photos...and they don't have to be stunning, posed or perfect images...they just have to capture a glimpse of a memories we have made as a family! Enjoy!
