It’s always fun when someone you’ve never met turns out to be related to someone you went to school with. This happens all the time in my business- there’s always a degree of separation that you never predicted! Here’s the lovely S family in the Irving Centre.
Met up with the H family for a shoot at the park at Scotian Gold. Despite living here for my entire life, I’d never actually shot there. It proved to be a perfect little spot for running around with kids- and there were a bunch of them in this group! Turns out the H family...
A good friend of mine and his lovely wife (a new friend of mine) invited me to the Irving Centre to have some fun with their one year old baby girl. And some balloons. She was absolutely perfect and it was one of the most fun photoshoots I’ve ever had.
Erin Costelo is an unmistakable talent, and one of the hottest things in jazz / blues / soul singing. I met Erin during a photoshoot for Occasions Magazine and not only is she talented, she’s humble and kind. We had a blast getting creative together at the Chickenburger and True North Diner. Check out her...
When you get to photograph someone you care about, it’s a really special experience. This is always the case with TK, who has been one of my oldest and closest friends for 20 years. Here she is in her pregnancy glory, almost ready to pop- and taking some time to read a special book to...
I photographed the wedding of this beautiful couple last year, and right on schedule they called to have maternity photos done! The baby is actually here now- stay tuned for her beautiful pics.
Meeting a new baby is always fun- they’re so sweet, and usually good and quiet. This little gem was no exception. Her family was the winner of December’s Images of Gratitude contest, and I was delighted to meet them.
My good friend Lindsay of Lindsay Best Business Consulting invited me over to create some holiday cheer with she, her boyfriend, and their cat Seamus. Last year we tried to create the cheesiest holiday photos imaginable- and I think we did a pretty good job. Had to up the bar this year, however. Here are...
One of my regular clients, the B family, had the idea that this year we would do some photos with cookies for Santa. Amongst the other cute moments, this one is my favorite from the day.
I have some cousins who live fairly close to me, about 20 minutes away, that I never see. Life gets busy, and you know they’re out there, living an equally busy life. So when an opportunity comes to reconnect after many years, it’s always a pleasure- especially when there is a new cousin to meet!!!
It’s always a delight when a beautiful, sweet couple invites me to be a part of their wedding day. Amanda and Tyler called and wanted to meet up for some engagement photos, as a warm up for their wedding next year. We spent a very COLD morning together out at Scots Bay- but they proved...
I had the pleasure again this year of photographing little beauties at the awesome Fiddleheads Kids Shop in Dartmouth. I’ve developed a really nice partnership with this award winning kids store. A lot of beautiful little families and faces came through their door- here are just a few of my favorites.
This little treasure and her family were brave enough to shed their jackets and go for a waterfront walk in late November- and it was COLD!! I couldn’t get enough of her blonde curly mop- and the smile that went with it!
Images of Gratitude: October winner: Shannon Eastman and her husband Mark. Offering foster homes to German Shepherd rescue dogs, Shannon and Mark are very active with the East Coast German Shepherd Rescue, as well as the Kings County SPCA. I loved seeing them in action with all their dogs- thank you, Shannon and Mark, for...
This past month, 48 amazing women from the Annapolis Valley got behind my crazy thought of doing a portrait collection of women wearing moustaches and men’s clothes in support of Prostate Cancer Canada. Our take on Movember, shall you say. My wonderful friend Kristy Taylor from Taylored Memories Video Editing put together the finished product....
By the time I’ve gotten around to sharing these pics, baby T has already arrived in the world! Stay tuned for his newborn photos to come next week. This is a lovely couple whose wedding I photographed last year and I was so pleased they invited me around for a few maternity pics.
When I was living in Halifax, I developed a great little partnership with the amazing Fiddleheads Kids Shop in Dartmouth. We worked on all kinds of fun projects together and one of them was a full-day of Holiday photos at their store. It was so popular that we are doing it again this year! I’m...
The lovely Farrell was one of my math tutors in high school. (As you can tell I’m better at the artsy stuff!) She was always sweet and patient, and I was thrilled when she contacted me to spend a morning at the research station with her growing brood. Her two little girls were so much...
When I met this family three years ago, I never dreamed that our relationship would grow and continue the way it has. Heather, Thomas and little D are my most loyal and regular clients, contacting me every six months to go to a new location with a new prop. This time, they wanted to come...
A few months ago, I got a phonecall from my friend Cheryl. She told me the story of her friend Melissa, who owns horses, and who was having her longtime horse put down that week. She wondered, would I go out and take some photos of them together on their last day? So I drove...
For August’s Images of Gratitude contest, I asked people to tell me stories about a grandparent in their life who was deserving of a special photoshoot with their family. I had four wonderful, loving grandparents who helped raise me and who are all gone now, and I miss them and their influence in my life....
My longtime friend Angela and her lovely family came up to Wolfville for a visit. We headed for the Irving Centre and were immediately met with rain! We discussed stopping early, what to do, etc- and then all of a sudden the most beautiful perfect, clear, sun came out! Her sweet girls were such a...
This is one of my favorite families, and I’m so enjoying getting to know their sweet girls as they grow up. The H family wanted to do a shoot at the home of a family friend- who happened to have a large, beautiful farm with tonnes of places for photos! Everyone was happy and cooperative...
My very favorite thing! I absolutely love this time of year, and it seems to be the popular choice for outdoor photos. Everything is crisp and fresh, and our little province is rich in places to hide and play! Here’s a little sample of a fall photoshoot I did last week- can’t wait to share...
One of my favorite gigs as a photographer is being asked to photograph the birthday party, or family event, of a friend. It’s a great excuse to do what I love but also to hang around people I love. Double fun! In this case, the double fun was at the birthday parties of D &...
I say it every day, but I love my job. And this photo shoot is a perfect example of why. Tinka is a rescue dog. She was found abandoned and abused in Louisiana, where an organization called Puppy Love scooped her up and brought her back up to Maine. My friend Tanya, her husband Derek,...
Last week I had the joy of photographing Michelle Sampson and her family. Michelle was the winner of June’s Images of Gratitude contest. Here is her story, and the family photo: “I would like to nominate my mother and siblings. Next month they will meet their brother for the first time! My grandfather was stationed...
One of my favorite clients, who has also become a friend, is the awesome Celine Gabrielle, owner of Happy Day Spa and an all round fitness, health and wellness expert. We had a great time this summer when she invited me out to do some photos of her awesome family at her home and business...
A few weeks ago, Alicia asked me to do a photoshoot with her family at York Redoubt on Canada Day. I’ve known Alicia since grade school, and it was really wonderful to see her and catch up with she, her fiancee, and his wonderful family who were visiting over the holiday. Here are a few...
This post is a little different than most others. As many of you know, I’ve been doing a lot of boudoir photography lately- which means, women and men celebrating themselves through photographs that are tasteful, classy- and partly or mostly nude. I was extremely nervous the first time I did a shoot like this- and...
