Tara, Mark & Tatianna ~ Portrait

Tara and her family came to me as a referral, as most of my clients do!
We met up at the Nature Park and used the almost winter-ready yellow fields and breezy beach area. They say you get a "Glow" when expecting a baby. I never knew the meaning of the word until I saw Tara's gorgeous face! Who knows, maybe she is super lucky and that's just how fabulous she looks all of the time. Either way, she certainly is beautiful!
Tatianna is a shy, sweet, and adorable young lady. We had some fun walking through the fields to get her to relax a little in front of the camera. We did get some genuine smiles and her gorgeous eyes loved my camera!

There were so many, I could not choose, so I guess I'll just share them all!





Update: Congratulations to this sweet little family for the addition of their new baby boy James!

Stacie, Matt, Alex & Rhea ~ Portrait

Stacie is another client of mine who lives right around the corner! Her children Alex and Rhea are like two little peas in a pod. Both beautiful and energetic for sure!
Our session was held at their home where we set up a mini-studio and had a little fun outdoors as well. Matt stopped in on his lunch break to get in on some of the photo action. A very sweet family for sure.
Here are some shots from our session together ;)





Anything for cooperation! :) Alex took a mini-break for a yummy cupcake his mommy made during our session which of course made for a cute little photo op.

Alexis's First Birthday!

Where did 2009 go? It certainly flew by for me and I missed quite a few blog posts in the midst of an extremely busy Fall and Winter Season. In an attempt to get somewhat caught up I will be mass-blogging this week some of my older work from the fall as well as some new announcements and new shoots!

I stopped in to visit my very good friend Rosa in Moncton in the Fall at her parents place. Perfectly manicured land, with matching barns and office areas for their business surround their beautiful home. It was nice to meet the rest of her family, which I had no doubt would be as friendly and warm as she is. Her little baby Alexis was celebrating her very first Birthday! I have done quite a few photo shoots with Rosa, she's just that kind of beautiful and it always amazes me how she can look so effortlessly gorgeous without even trying.
I was not prepared for the cuteness of her daughter Lexi though! Oh my goodness! Those baby blues, her little teeth, and curly hair... There are no words. I could not choose a few so here are a bunch from our session ;)

Thank you SO MUCH to the wonderful and talented lady who made these for me! I literally gave her pictures of the ones I wanted and some yarn and Poof! These were made!

Mr Stubbins lives Happily Ever After

A few weeks ago when I went into the Saint John Animal Rescue League to drop things off to the office, I met Mr Stubbins. He was sitting on the chair beside Cathy like he owned the place! He was beautiful. His creamy soft fur, deep bronze colored eyes and white puff-ball cheeks were irresistible. He had been brought into the league in October with a broken tail which was amputated right away at the vet's clinic. Sadly, he was hit by a car and god only knows what else he went through before they found him.
I picked him up right away and knew right then that I had met him for a reason.

Coincidentally my sister had been asking for a cat for months. She also kept referring to the one that passes through her yard often with no tail and said she wanted a cat to call "Stubby” that also had no tail.
I quickly told my parents all about him and I guess his pictures and story won my father over! They agreed to welcome him into their home and life. I was so excited for him to be part of the fam! ;)
A few days later, he was united with my sister Samantha and they cuddled all night. This cat has such a personality, he walks with a bit of a limp and no tail but also has no care in the world.
Some things are just meant to be in life, and I believe this is one of them.
Thanks to everyone at the Saint John Animal Rescue League for taking such great care of him!


If you are looking to adopt a kitty or pup, please consider adoption ;) There are TONS at the shelter looking for homes now. Visit their Website to adopt or donate www.SaintJohnAnimalRescue.com

Michelle, Tim, Amelia, Franklin & Daisy +1 ~ Portrait

I met Michelle and Tim years ago when she purchased designer collars from me for her beautiful dog Daisy. Over the years I have watched her family grow, from her first little girl Amelia, to her second, Franklin and now they have a third little bundle on the way! They certainly keep making beautiful and extremely cute babies!
Our sessions are usually relaxed and fun. I love her family and cannot wait to meet their new addition next year!



Aww...

Chris & Laura's Dark N' Dirty Birthday Bash - Studio 54, Saint John


Chris booked me a few months ago to capture his Epic Birthday Bash in November which was appropriately called the "Dark N' Dirty Birthday Bash (Black Party)". He rented out STUDIO 54 nightclub and had two fab DJ's make the night happen. The Birthday Boy also shared the night with fellow Birthday Gal Laura. The theme of the party was of course "Dark N Dirty", so everyone was asked to dress in fine black attire and the birthday duo were in red.

We set up a photo booth area and had some fun with the VIP's.

DJ MIZZ MAXINE and DJ EVICTION kept the night going with their mad DJ Skills.


Colors and light were amazing, so many different shots.

To view the rest of the event click here for a SLIDESHOW!

Chris & Laura, thanks for having us capture your event! It was something a little different and certainly fab! ;) Happy Birthday to you both!

2010 Wedding Notice ~ Southern New Brunswick & Desitination Wedding Photography

While all great things do eventually come to an end, new and exciting things are always just around the corner.
It is only December, however I have already been meeting with brides and planning weddings for 2010 and 2011 over the past few months! If you are considering having me as your photographer you should contact me now. I already have 14 confirmed weddings for 2010 and 4 for 2011!

I am excited to announce that I have released my new 2010 Booking Kit. Here is the cover below :) I believe choosing a wedding photographer is a very important process and not every wedding photographer is a fit for every couple. Let's meet up and see if we are right for each other and get started on planning your day!
