A Girl and a Tutu

Okay - so I have had this tutu in my arsenal of 'stuff' for quite some time, but I don't think I've had a subject such as this little girl, who just looked so darn cute wearing it!!

Just had to share...

#1 - The Princess


#2 - Having a good time...


#3 - What's down there?
(She was really just annoyed with the tutu, and was trying to take it off :-)).


#4 - Cute as a button.

Some Lovely December Surprises

Both these babes were born toward the latter part of December. What a lovely gift for the parents to receive these beauties over the holiday season!

As a late December baby myself (December 30th), I can tell you that there was one major advantage and disadvantage for me having a birthday so close to Christmas. The advantage for me was that by being born a couple of days before the the next calendar year, I started school one year sooner than I would have if I'd popped out at the beginning of January (even though I was always the smallest in the class :-)). The disadvantage, however, was that my birthday often fell through the cracks being so close to Christmas and New Year's Eve.

So...to all parents of late December babies - don't forget to make a big fuss on their birthdays!

Happy New Year everyone! May 2008 bring many wonderful things.

A Brother's Love

This young boy was lying beside his new baby sister, and she was fussing and crying, which made him uncomfortable. I asked him to place his hand gently on her chest, and it immediately calmed her (and him), and she reached toward him. It was a perfect moment, and hopefully representative of their relationship in years to come.

Thanks for looking.


Hope everyone is managing their pre-Christmas madness!

Little Miss Squeaky Shoes

I recently shot a 1 year old girl and her 4 year old brother. Suffice to say (and as the first picture below CLEARLY demonstrates), she did not stop moving for most of the entire shoot. The picture of her walking away with her arms in the air cracked both me and her parents and brother up - as it captured her spirit perfectly. The reference to 'squeaky shoes' referred to some sandals that she wore with squeakers in them. I understand now why her parents had those sandals, because she was off and out of sight in the blink of an eye!

As for her brother, he was the one who liked to explore, as can be seen below as he peeks out from a jungle of sorts. All in all, we all had fun and survived amidst all of the chaos.

SEASIDE, Florida

I just returned from an amazing trip in Seaside, Florida, with about 15 other photographers from Canada and the United States. We shacked up in two great houses and hung out, ate, and talked shop for 2 1/2 days. It was so great to meet with people who work in the same business as I do, and who share my love of photography. Many, or even most, of these photographers gave up previous careers (in law, family therapy, personal training ;-) - to name a few), to pursue their love of photography and make it their career. As well, almost everyone there had children (not with us :-)), and there were 5 buns in various ovens who gave the gathering an even more magical energy.

Thanks for a fantastic few days Ladies. This is definitely something I would love to do on an annual basis. Finally, an extra thanks to Marla and Tara for getting up at 5a.m. to take us to the airport, when we discovered that our shuttle dude slept in!

Here we are in all our glory :-).
