Busy Busy!... as usual :)

Busy Busy!... as usual :)
I know, I say that many times, but it really is true!

If you have not joined me on Facebook - please do so! I update my page quite often and it's a great way for me to interact with my clients.

Where has the time gone? It seems it was just before Christmas and I was working on my new website. Yes, I really was. Then, client work, life and everything in between got in the way. I DO promise, the updated Portfolio site IS on the way! Just working out a few tweaks here and there :)

Just this past week I had the chance to capture some beautiful faces. Here is a peek at what I've been up to. We (Marc, I and the fur-kids) are Currently still in Shediac as I have one more Engagement and a Family session tomorrow before we head home.
Stay tuned... Wedding season starts NEXT WEEKEND! Yay!

My client Lyndsay reminded me last night that YES, people actually DO read my blog. while I do check my website stats and can see hundreds of hits every week. I just wish more people would comment, you know? *hint, hint*.
When I have time, I usually like to prepare a perfectly well composed blog with a full story and images to match. I guess that is the perfectionist in me. From now on I will try to post odd ends here and there, just because I know some of you really do visit and well, I have to keep the audience entertained, right? ;)
Here are a few images from just last week!

Michelle + Tim ~ Engagement

I'll start this post with a few words from a recent note from Michelle...
"Tim and I just love you, to us you are more than a photographer, you are a consultant, a wedding planner, mostly, you are a friend. We just trust you completely and know we are in good hands. Cannot wait for the wedding."

I LOVE getting emails like this. It just melts my heart :) I do really care about my clients and I am glad Michelle feels that way too.

There are no other words to describe Michelle & Tim other than; SUPER CUTE, SO MUCH FUN and SO IN LOVE! They way he looks at her, the way she looks at him. It's that kind of tender, playful love that when you see it, you know they are just meant to be together.

I remember last year when Michelle first contacted me. She had a million questions - which in my mind is a good thing. It meant she was interested in knowing all the answers about her investment and getting to know me better. When we met, we hit it off right away. I remember thinking they were a very warm, friendly couple and I knew we would have a blast together. She was in awe of my albums and I was so excited to work with both of them.
During the months after our initial consultation, we exchanged hundreds of emails about everything from designer purse shopping in Boston, her extravagant travels all over the world for work (lucky gal!), to her wedding cake and decor. Before we knew it, their engagement session date was here!

Originally, Michelle wanted to do their shoot in a park like setting, but after seeing Chris + Tammy's session last month she opted for Uptown Saint John. We wandered the streets and I used the architecture, landscape and lighting to inspire my shots.

We met at my office on Canterbury Street and picked out their initial wardrobe. My hubby Marc was nice enough to come along and assist. He took some great shots too and we got to spend some time together with a fantastic couple. What more could a gal want? ;) We also ran into Tim's parents, which was great because usually I don't meet parents until the BIG day! They seemed very sweet and I am looking forward to meeting the rest of their family.

So cute.

Saint John GROOM-A-THON #2 - Shelter dogs get TLC

Last Friday I volunteered along with 6 fabulous Saint John Groomers for our 2nd GROOMATHON event this year.
The shelter staff brought the dogs to Tina Standing’s grooming shop in North Saint John, where the fabulous groomers (Tina Standing, Amy Hunter, Kim Leblanc Nunes, Carla Bagley, Amanda Yoston, Stephanie Eilersen, & Kelly Wilson of "Nothing But Rewards Dog Training") show the shelter dogs what a little TLC can feel like and return them to the shelter sparkling clean and ready for a new home. I took some photos of the dogs after their “grooming sessions” to complete their makeover and hopefully get the word out to get some adoptions this week!

If you are thinking of adding a new family member to your home, please consider Rescue! Please forward on to anyone who you think may be in search of a new fur-child! ADOPT at www.saintjohnanimalrescue.com
