I was super excited when Alysha emailed to see about joining the Watch Me Grow program.  I clearly remember these two when they were dating in highschool, and I was privilege to capture both their engagement and wedding photos so now to be able to watch them as they embark on they journey into parenthood is really fun.   They are both such wonderful and kind people that I know they will make awesome parents!  Alysha has always been a bit nervous infront of the camera, but I think her nerves were completely unfounded as she looks just fabulous!

The last shot is for her little sister who has entrusted Alysha with her extensive collection of high heels while she is travelling and working in Europe.  Alysha & Brandon I wish you all the best for a safe and speedy delivery and I can’t wait to meet Baby O when he/she decides to make an appearance!!  Good luck!!

Jen had emailed me back in December to see about getting some engagement photos in the snow.  We set a date for early January and boy oh boy snow it did…. snow and wind and basically an all out blizzard.  We decided to reschedule for February…. hoping for snow, but not quite that much snow.   Mother Nature decided yet again to drop down lots of white stuff, but the wind was a bit more friendly so we decided to give it a shot.  It was so much fun (and a bit cold I might add)!  We met up at one of my favourite country locations – my in-laws farm – and tromped around to capture these.  Meet Jen & Darrell

When I started editing through there photos I first thought the next photo was a mistake.  With all those flurries in the air, my autofocus lens was having a hard time keeping it’s focus on Jen & Darrell…. but after looking again I decided I quite liked this “mistake”.

Love this shot!  Jen has such a great smile!

I hope you had a fabulous Valentine’s date after our shoot!  It was so much fun to work with both of you!  So looking forward to your wedding at Hessenland in July when the temperatures will be a lot more friendly!

I couldn’t resist posting these today!  My niece & nephew were here this morning and they are too cute not to share with all of you right away!  Love these little munchkins!  Let me start with Basil…. at 9 months old he is so darn squishable!

I couldn’t resist taking the next one!!  For the first few months he was alive he was known only as “Basilbear”

The next photo is for his Dad & mine … two of the biggest Hab’s fans around!!

And now onto Miss Gloria.  Sweet as a button and definitely on the shy side.  After almost 3 years she’s sort of warmed up to me… she still won’t go anywhere near her uncle Chris…. but Aunt Sandra always has cookies and milk for her   Here she is with her favourite “Pink Baby” – that’s her name…. not overly creative, but accurate.

Never a dull moment with this girl around…. squirmy is an understatement.  I asked her at one point if she had ants in her pants…. she answered “No, my bums just slippery.” – too cute!

And here are a couple of both of them… not an easy task my friends!!

Thanks Loretta for bringing them out!  It was great fun to chat and chase your babies!!  Big Hugs to all of you!  Love Aunt Sandra

You’ll have to bear with me over the next couple of weeks…..  I’m working on putting together a photo album from our Aussie adventures and editing through photos that I haven’t looked at literally in months.  It’s wonderful to relive our trip and bittersweet as it makes me miss Eileen & Ian who are living there now.  Here is a beauty that I think may have to be a canvas in my stairway…. what do you think?   Cheers

Last week my good friend Anita from Westland Greenhouses brought her beautiful daughters and her lovely Anthurium plants to my studio for a session.  It was a lot of fun to work with Anne & Jette – two very pretty girls if I do say so myself!!  Hopefully you’ll soon be seeing their lovely faces on the side of the Westland Delivery trucks!

Thanks so much ladies!  I hope you had as much at our session as I did!!

It was great to meet up with Dan & Elisha a couple weeks ago to take their engagement photos.  I always find outdoor shoots in the winter both a delight and a challenge.  The light is so different this time of year, and can actually be a lot brighter than in the summer due to the reflections off the snow, but I love the challenge of something different!  Not too many people are willing to brave the elements for an outdoor winter shoot, but they sure are fun!  At any rate…. we met at Elisha’s parent’s home which is also where their wedding will take place this coming summer.  It is really a neat property and I can’t wait to see how their wedding day turns out, and to see how different everything looks when it is green instead of white.  We started out by walking out to the location where their cermony is going to take place.  It’s at an old barn foundation.  Really cool.

There is also a stream and a bridge and all sorts of cool spots!  Love this location!

And of course our shoot wouldn’t have been complete without including Kyra in a few!  She is their adorable little girl and I absolutely fell in love with her.Thanks so much for a fun afternoon Dan, Elisha & Kyra!  I can’t wait to see you all again soon!
