Kimberley and Carlos are one of the happiest couples I have ever worked with. Neither of them stopped smiling all day and they were having so much fun celebrating their day together.  They were married during a beautiful ceremony at St. Joseph’s Church and celebrated into the night with their family and friends at the Four Points Sheraton.
Kim and Carlos, thank you so much for making my job a breeze! You were both fabulous to work with and it was a delight to have a little glimpse into your love and happiness. May you enjoy many many many more years of joy together with your beautiful growing family. Congratulations!! :)

Chris and Mony were married during a beautiful ceremony at the Holy Family Church followed by a delicious dinner and a night full of celebration and dancing at Ban Righ Hall. They are such a beautiful couple and it was an honour to document their special day. Congratulations to you both.. it was an absolute delight working with you and I wish you all the happiness in the world. Hope you have an amazing time on your honeymoon!!

I am absolutely thrilled to be photographing Mony and Chris’s wedding next month! They have been together for 9 years and it is wonderful to see that they are still so completely in love with each other. Their session was filled with giggles, smiles, hugs and lots of kissing :) They are so natural in front of the camera and I can’t wait to see them happily married. They have an adorable dog named Simba who they’ve had since they’ve been together so we of course had to include him in their photos! Enjoy a few sneak peeks…

They both have the most contagious smiles.. my cheeks were sore by the end of the session!

It was an absolute delight to photograph beautiful little Maya today on her very first birthday! Just had to share a quick one since it’s her birthday and all :) More to come soon…

I want to say a HUGE thank you to all of the fabulous moms that participated in my Mother’s Day mini session promotion! It was a huge success and it was such a pleasure to capture so many beautiful moms with their gorgeous kids! I can’t wait to do it again next year! Here are just a few photos from the day… enjoy!

Wow… I had so many touching stories come in that I just found it too hard to judge them. So I asked a few different people to read them and vote for the winner. The vote was unanimous.. the winner of the 11×14 fine art print is Bernadette! Thanks so much to everyone who participated!  All of your stories will be featured on my blog at some point or another. Without further adieu, here is Bernadette’s heart-felt story.

“When I was in my second trimester of my pregnancy I developed a rash on my arms and neck and none of my Doctors could tell what it was, what was causing it or how to fix it.  It turned out that three days before the birth of my daughter I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus, an autoimmune disease that attacks blood vessels throughout the body.  The most amazing part of this, is that it could have impacted the development of the heart of my daughter, which did not happen and she is the healthiest, happy baby going.  She is my miracle baby on so many levels and since her birth my health has deteriorated to some degree and it looks quite possible that my husband and I may not be able to have any more children.  This being the case, I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to be a mother to the most amazing miracle in my life. She brings tears of joy, laughter and unending feelings of elation to me daily. For this reason having our family photos captured is important because we are so blessed to have eachother and we can conquer anything that life throws at us, even if we are only to be a family of three.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you fabulous moms out there!
