Whew... what a week!

I had the amazing opportunity to photograph the students at my kids Montessori school, to help raise money for The Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes, as my 6 year old son has Type 1 Diabetes. I am thrilled to say it was a successful project in all ways, and we managed to raise $3300 for Super Team Niels in the process!

All in all I photographed 26 kids over 4 days, and had a lot of fun doing it. All the kids were totally game for the project - some a little more shy than others :-). I have chosen a handful of photographs (below) to share from that project.

On a side note, if you would like to see our 2009 YouTube video 'The Fabric and Faces of Diabetes', you will find it here...

Last Official Studio Session...

...and this little monkey made it soooooo easy. Not only was she so super cute to begin with, but she was just so darn happy! She must have known it was my last studio session (read 'My Path' below if you don't know what I'm referring to :-)), and she wanted to make sure it was a great one. The pictures speak for themselves in terms of her vibrant personality.

A New Son & Brother

A good friend of mine just had baby #2 - and I couldn't resist popping by to take some photos, as I had done the same for baby #1. To get the two boys together (which is always tricky with a toddler) - I simply chatted about Thomas the Train and the Backyardigans with big brother - and voila - a sweet picture was born :-).

#3 - Sweet boy...


#4 - Making use of a great nursery...


#5 - Who could resist...
