It was more than a year ago when I met with Justin & Amy and they asked me to capture their wedding. It seemed like it was so far away, and now here it is in just a few short weeks! We decided to meet up in Goderich. Amy and I had chatted about a few different ideas before we got together. Amy I hoped I managed to capture things just the way you wanted. I think you both look great and I can’t wait to work with you again soon!

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’m certain that Alicia and Trevor agree that this little sweet heart was well worth waiting the extra 11 days for! Derk was just 9 days old when he came to the studio for his first photo shoot. Usually babies that are less than 10 days old are pretty sleepy….. but I think someone forgot to tell Derk as sleeping was really not on his agenda. I think we did get some lovely photos of him. Such a tiny little man.

Alicia was a week overdue when she called to see about a maternity session. I was so excited and spent the next two days praying she wouldn’t go into labour before our session. Thank goodness she arrived at my door a full nine days overdue and ready for some photos. Two days later they welcomed Derk into their family. I can’t wait to meet their lovely little son a little later this morning! I must say her positive outlook and patience really impressed me. I was overdue with 4 out of my 5 pregnancies, and I hardly think I was nearly as content as a Alicia… in fact I was probably what one would call a little grumpy. Congrats Alicia & Trevor!!

I’ve known Sofie’s mom for years so it was really neat to get to meet her little bundle of joy! Sofie was just about 8 weeks old when she came for her first portrait session. Here are a few of my favourites. I’m really looking f0rward to all the watch me grow sessions. I can’t wait to see all the babies growing and changing!
