Schofields in the Snow

Heather Rushton — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:03:54 +0000

I’ve known this family for as long as I can remember. The Schofields grew up a few streets over from me and our parents were buddies in college, so they’re kind of extended family. I was thrilled when they invited me out to Port Williams to play in the snow for a few hours, to celebrate Doug & Kathy’s 40th Wedding Anniversary. The kids are all grown up now and there’s even some new grandchildren around… so lots to celebrate and lots of fun!

A brave bride!

I had the pleasure of photographing J & A’s lovely wedding ceremony just before it really turned into winter. However, it was still very chilly and windy, and our brave bride was a great sport about having her photos taken outdoors! (I think the groom was keeping her warm.) I love the way he kept making her laugh- he did this all day, during the ceremony, the photos, and I suspect, for the rest of her life… (AWWW!)

Out in Great Village

Heather Rushton — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:06:45 +0000

I knew Mike & Kaylee were going to be a treat as soon as we met last year. I had been looking forward to their wedding in Great Village for months! Turns out I was right (as usual- *wink*) and they were even lovelier than I could’ve wished for! Completely smitten with each other, relaxed and lots of smiles. I really enjoyed getting to know these two and the location of their wedding was a beauty as well, at Mike’s family floral nursery. They even did an amazing choreographed dance together to wow the crowd!

Loving the Landry’s

Heather Rushton — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:02:22 +0000

This summer I had one of the most fun days I’ve ever had at a wedding shoot. Erin & Rene were super fun to spend the day with- they were up for anything! We had a blast returning to their old high school (Horton) to muck around in the classrooms and play. I loved the creativity and joy coming from these two!

Christmas Kids

Heather Rushton — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 01:50:57 +0000

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the day at the amazing Fiddleheads Kids Shop in Dartmouth. I set up my holiday themed backdrop in their lobby, and we had a steady stream of cute kids and wonderful parents coming in all day to have their photos taken. I met a whole bunch of little sweeties and was thrilled with the results! Here are some favorites.

Silver wedding bells

Heather Rushton — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 13:20:53 +0000

Jess & Kyle’s wedding day was a beautiful summer afternoon, with the ceremony and photos happening in the amazing backyard of a family friend. They were so sweet together, and we had a lot of fun exploring the huge, sprawling property together! However in the end, you can’t pass up the chance to do photos in front of a truck!

Engagement shoot with M&M

Heather Rushton — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:44:04 +0000

I’m very excited about Matt & Meredith’s wedding next summer. I’ve known Meredith’s family a long time, and it was a treat to hear from her. Meeting up with them at Kingsport Beach proved to be just as wonderful- they have two big dogs, so we bonded over that quickly as well. Can’t wait for next summer!

Michelle’s model morning

Heather Rushton — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 18:41:40 +0000

Had a great morning with Michelle, who wanted to do some fun portrait shots on the waterfront. Her lovely personality and gorgeous face made this an easy task for moi!

Paige & Jon’s October wedding

Heather Rushton — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:29:50 +0000

Had a wonderful October afternoon in Onslow, NS with Paige & Jon. They were beautiful and completely in love- very cute and we had a great time together! One of those amazing fall afternoons where the colours are perfect and everyone is smiling.

Family fun!

Heather Rushton — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 13:26:05 +0000

I love meeting new families. This time I had the pleasure of meeting the M family at the Irving Centre! We had a delightful afternoon and the weather was perfect.

Fall at Mt. Uniacke!

Heather Rushton — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 15:23:14 +0000

One of my favorite families and regular clients! They always take me somewhere new and special- this time we visited Uniacke House, which I had never been to before. The beautiful fall colours, combined with their great spirits and smiles, made for a perfect autumn morning!

D&C at Lawrencetown

Heather Rushton — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:55:20 +0000

I had a great time getting to know D&C. We corresponded for quiet a while before our initial meeting, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know them (and their cute doggie Bailey!) We had the most perfect and beautiful morning at Lawrencetown Beach.

Airhedz Afternoon!

Heather Rushton — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:33:31 +0000

A while back I was lucky enough to get to work with Airhedz Airbrush Tattoos- (check out their Facebook page here). Below are some examples of their super hot models showing off their amazing work!

E & E

Heather Rushton — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:48:07 +0000

My first Jewish wedding was an incredible experience. It was probably the most joyful wedding I’ve ever photographed. Erica is a total goddess, everything about her was classy elegance and I really enjoyed getting to know she and her new hubby Elisha.

On the dykes before the ceremony. The boys. This is my favorite moment from the entire day. After the ceremony, the bride and groom go into seclusion for a few minutes. When they return, they are welcomed by a joyful, noisy, party-filled crowd- ready to dance and celebrate with them. This is the groom and his father, who grabbed each other and danced their happy hearts out. First time up in the horah- wow!Sneaking away for a sunset moment.

Mud Creek Days

Heather Rushton — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:55:50 +0000

I was lucky enough to photograph the Mud Creek Days Challenge and Dance this summer in the lovely little town of Wolfville. I had a blast- there was no shortage of activity and lots of fun! Here’s a few favorites from the day.

Cooling off under the firetrucksThe winners of the muddiest team!Mudley, the town mascot- what dance moves this guy had!

Blomidon in Summer

Heather Rushton — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 22:44:19 +0000

One of my favorite spots to photograph. Feels like I was just there in the spring- the seasons change so quickly! Here are two of my favorites from the last day of Summer- early morning sunrise.

Beauties on the beach

Heather Rushton — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:35:23 +0000

Sometimes you just really connect with a family and that was the case with the C gang! Mom & Dad seemed completely in love and the kids were darlings and a lot of fun to get to know!

Cutie pies

Heather Rushton — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:31:49 +0000

Had a great time with these two and their parents at Shubie Park!

Beautiful Brianna

Heather Rushton — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 00:55:45 +0000

How lucky am I? I got to spend a beautiful morning at the Little Prince’s House in Bedford with Brianna, a local actress. She’s now all finished up in NS and has headed to Toronto to make her mark! We hit it off right away and I can’t wait to hear how her new career is coming along!

Love on a boat!

Heather Rushton — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:36:12 +0000

My friend Jenn and her husband Trevor very kindly included me in their beautiful wedding day. Starting at the Dingle and finishing up with a tour around the Arm on a boat, the entire day was spectacular. These are some of my favorites from our day together!

Down in Bridgewater

Heather Rushton — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 19:31:00 +0000

I was invited to come down to the south shore to capture some family photos of this cute bunch. We explored their grandparents’ never ending farm and I had a wonderful time with these two cuties!

On the shores of Lunenburg

Heather Rushton — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 15:21:16 +0000

I was very lucky to be invited down to the shores of Lunenburg for a beautiful cliffside shoot with this amazing family! By the time I left I literally felt like I was part of their gang- they even fed me supper- and I enjoyed the scenery tremendously!

Wedding Bells for the Bells!

Heather Rushton — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 19:39:29 +0000

Okay, cheesy title, but awesome couple! I was super delighted to meet Jennifer (who I knew from a wedding last summer) and her fiancee Lee and photograph their fantastic day. Bright smiles all around and a great party! They were up for anything despite the rain and their smiling faces show it all! Here are a few of my favorites from our day at the Chocolate Lake Best Western.

Hangin’ with the boys- I told them to pick on him!

The girls relax before the ceremony.

The gang struttin’ their stuff in between the raindrops. They really had to twist my arm to get theses photos in front of the Mustang! Fighting over the bride!

Running through the woods

Heather Rushton — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:34:22 +0000

It’s always an easy fix for a non-smiling kid to have them race their brother or sister!

Sunset at Sullivan’s Pond

Heather Rushton — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 19:58:38 +0000

I met up with the R family one sunny beautiful evening at Sullivan’s Pond. Actually, it was prom night- so they were very good sports about maneuvering around the high school kids! Their own little munchkins were very sweet and we had a great time chasing ducks, etc!

Wedding at Mountain Gap Inn

Heather Rushton — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:28:16 +0000

Sometimes I don’t get to meet the bride & groom before the wedding- so I’m not sure what to expect. However in Brittany & Jonathan’s case, I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier, more wonderful couple. The Mountain Gap Inn was a perfect spot for their perfect wedding, and we had a great time exploring the beaches, the fields, and the quaint old wedding chapel. I wish these two all the best as they return to Alberta and hope to see them again someday!

Love in the valley

Heather Rushton — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:25:47 +0000

Had a great time with this lovely couple exploring Miner’s Marsh in Kentville. They were super sweet and just wanted photos of them being relaxed- and they certainly were. They had a lovely easiness between them and I enjoyed my walk in the woods with them!

Georgie’s family

Heather Rushton — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 16:23:59 +0000

I met Georgie while volunteering at the SPCA in Dartmouth. Her mother’s 90th birthday was coming up, and they wanted to celebrate with some family photos. We ended up getting rained out of our original choice, so we spent a lovely morning in the Keith’s Brewery (which has surprisingly nice natural light!). Here are a few faves from our day.

Birthday girl

Heather Rushton — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 20:51:51 +0000

It was little M’s first birthday and I was lucky enough to get to spend it with she and her family! They brought a pretend cake, some beautiful tutus and her amazing smile!

My awesome godbrothers

Heather Rushton — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 22:02:57 +0000

These two are the closest thing I have to brothers- and they’re pretty amazing! I spent a fun morning with them out on the dykes in Wolfville last summer and as always it was a delight to spend time with them.
