My answering machine says I’m booked up until the end of June… What that actually means is, I’m shooting between 1-3 shoots per day. What that actually means is… I’m busy. Very busy…but who isn’t really!!! I am really enjoying photographing so many wonderful families, and fabulous people! Here are a few more family images from Denise and Steve’s family session last week. To all of you waiting patiently for your discs, and your finished products… I am incredibly grateful, as it means that I can continue to capture these images for other families as well!!!

Our session started off with great big crocodile tears, and ended with laughter.
It was an incredibly windy day accross from the Salmon Point Pub in Oyster River, but we decided to go ahead with the session anyway… The boys were so spirited and fun, that it made my job, incredibly easy!!! Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Perfect. Beautiful. Amazing. Babies are just soooo wonderful.

Last summer a great couple, Amanda and Curt purchased a gift for their equally amazing friends Shauna and Gene. Last week, I shot their family photographs, loved them, and loved their images too!!! I thought I’d share a few of my favorite images, from a fabulous family session last week. What a great family!!! What wonderful children… what a perfect shoot.

He’s loved dogs since… forever.
Loved our dog Brandy that accidentally bit a little girl, and wound up on a ‘farm’… has begged for more family dogs ever after… no one would get him a dog.

He moved back to the Vancouver Island from far away baseball playing shores… and that’s when it started. The obsessive dog talk. Suddenly, he had the entire family convinced that we needed to buy a dog for our mom. I was apprehensive, as my mom had clearly stated that she did NOT want a dog. He was most certain, that she was delusional and really did want one.

He called me daily with dog finds, he texted me with every new breed, new location, new idea… he finally succeeded in convincing mom she wanted a dog. “ok” she said more confused than anything. He found the perfect dog…. he was going to get it for her… the phone calls stopped… no more texts… where did he go? Everyone thought he must have given up. I knew, however, that it was never about getting mom a dog. But more about filling a childhood dream, of a boy and his dog.

A week later, I got the call. He had driven to Gold River from Nanaimo (directly past our family home in Campbell River, Vancouver Island) picked out “Digsy” and knew instantly that he would NOT be dropping him off in Campbell River, but keeping him forever.

That’s the thing about boys and dogs, sometimes, it just makes sense for them to be together.
