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!

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!

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.

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!

I’ve know Jodie since highschool.  We had a lot of the same classes and both played in concert band.  We’ve seen each other here and there over the years but it had been a while.  I was so excited when she stopped by my studio to tell me she was engaged!  I had the pleasure of meeting up with her and Shane in Bayfield a few weekends back for an engagement session.  Here are a few of my favourites from our time together.

I can’t wait for their beautiful fall wedding at Ben Miller Inn next year!

I can’t begin to tell you how amazed and pleased I was with my grand opening on Friday night !  Thank you so much to everyone who came out and made it such a success!!  An extra big thank you to my wonderful husband Chris who has been a huge help at getting my studio set up and who is always my number one cheerleader – I couldn’t do any of this with out you babe!

Another big thank you to my fabulous friend – partner in crime and amazing photographer – Krista Jefferson of Edison Photography .  It couldn’t have been a better fit – a photographer who loves to dress up convincing other people to do so…. I might add she did managed to get in quite a few photos herself!
