She wanted images that captured the good stuff. The real stuff. No dressing up and posing. Just her beautiful, quirky, unique, loving family making a pancake breakfast.
I.WAS.THRILLED. Nothing better to me, than a family… doing what they love to do, and something as natural as curling up to sleep each night.
Everyone with their usual roles. Clarke cracking the eggs. Libby cutting the bananas (and sampling the batter) Celeste making the icing, Garrett peeling apples (perfectly) and assisting me withe the artistic direction, Riley manning the griddle and mom (creative soul and master planner at Dolphins Resort) and dad (culinary genius and head chef at Dolphins Resort) offering loving hands and sweet and funny words along the way. The breakfast was delicious, the company divine and the home oozing the warmth and love. The kind of love that can only be created with a wise, passionate and vibrant family.
Blessed.
Thank you for choosing me. xo

To have a family. To be a family. Such a precious gift.
May we all soak up every. single. remarkable moment.

A recurring theme lately in my images has been my amazing wedding couples creating AMAZING children and then me having the immense pleasure of photographing them all over again. In a totally different way. Remember their wedding?? Refresher HERE.
A perfect evening at McIvor Lake, with sweet Cora and her loving parents.
This baby girl is surrounded by all sorts of love and just oozes sweetness!
Wishing your beautiful family an abundance of awesome this year and always. xo

It appears April 5th is a perfect day to be born.
Not only was my little Maisie Lu born on April 5th, but my mom was also born that date (a few years prior).

I didn’t want her to be born on my moms birthday. Not in a mean way, but in a “ohhh, I want her to have her OWN birthday.” However, now that it has in fact happened. I realize how special it is. People are born every day. Every single day. In each moment, someone is born. There is no “new” day to be born. It’s all been done before.

When your baby girl is born on your moms birthday. Consider it special. I do, now. I hope these two girls will continue to share many, many happy birthday’s together for years to come. I want to do a photo shoot every year on (or close to) April 5th, to celebrate a unique Grandma/Maisie connection and to serve as a constant reminder that life is truly awesome.

Here is my baby girl and her grandma, born one year ago… on my moms birthday.

I love when people are awesome.
I love when three kids conspire to surprise their parents with family photos for their anniversary. So thoughtful.

A beautiful family, perfect session and hilarious dad Ken who wouldn’t stop telling stories about the ducks! I bring to you, the wonderful Brown family.
