  • behind the camera

    if you have stumbled your way here or are just catching up, greetings...snapping photos of friends & family or capturing memories for others, i love looking at life through my lens...i have the honor of sharing some of the most intimate & memorable moments in a person’s life...i am blessed to be one of the few people who can say they truly love what they do!

    i enjoy creating images that leave you with life-lasting memories and my approach is laid-back & stress-free...while having fun i am able to capture you being you...

    in this little window to my world you will see favorites from my sessions, weddings, and a bunch of personal moments that i can't help but share...if nothing else, you get to peek on my little munchkin as he grows & follow all his little adventures...he is definitely cute enough to keep you coming back all on his own! that's my little family to the right...josh, my heart, my rock...& my munchkin, niklas, who redefined my definition of love...

    thankyou for peeking in and come back often...i hope you will leave a comment if you like what you see or just want to say hi!

    love, hugs & kisses

words cannot capture the greatness of this day…family, friends, love & happiness are but a start…thankyou for the beautiful day & congratulations…

Love

I love you
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.

I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;

I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,

And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple.

Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good.
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.

You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.

You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

a treat for you!

busy busy day…to keep it short & sweet it was one of those days where i was constantly going from one thing to another…at least i feel like i am slowly getting back on top of things! i even got treated to a mani/pedi today courtesy of josh’s mom for sarah & chris’ wedding this weekend, (sooo excited!)…it took my mind a bit to take in that i was to be in relax mode but what a treat! Milena was fantastic & i left feeling rejuvenated & refreshed, (a huge accomplishment considering my 4:30am-7:30&9:00am sleeps the past 2 nights! note the clock reads 5:09am…o well)…

so here is where your treat comes in…i have three referral cards that offer you $20.00 OFF yup for grabs!!!! Milena works at Hair Connection Salon in Kincardine and offers esthetic services involving nails, facials, waxing & tints…i was pleased to find out she even uses a vegan line for manicure & pedicure treatments…just wait til you smell the ginger moisturizer…mmmmmm….so good…

so the rules are super easy…all you have to do is be one of the first three people to leave a comment under this post on my blog & let me know which image i have posted of niklas that you love & why…so simple! 3 minutes of your day for $20.00!!!

tidy toys

i have been shooting & editing & visiting family i don’t see as often as i would like…o…& nik & i made a long overdue cottage trip with my kw crew, (pics soon…i promise girls!)….there…now you know what i have been up to lol…i promise to also post an update on my munchkin next week & will definitely get the peeks up so you can see what i have been working at, but for now you will just have to settle for me bragging in this quick post, (yes, i have been a blog slacker…i will make it up to you;)

on the up side i FINALLY got around to going through nik’s toys!!!  no longer will we be constantly tripping to get through our living room, & now nik’s room is what it should be…a toy-filled playroom for a little boy..& when we can’t get those toys picked up right after playing we just shut the door…:) …nik was so excited when i showed him his surprise this morning! he just kept going around his room checking out where everything now belonged and he even put most of it back in the correct place afterwards!  now if i could only get around to placing a personal order to WHCC for his walls i would be set!

and yes…those are nik’s new cloth diapers!!! i cannot express how nice it is to be using them again…& they are super cute lime green designs…i will post some colour shots in next weeks update! until then…

Susy + Jeremie {eSession Peek}

i can’t even begin to tell you how excited i am for this couples wedding…but for now you will just have to settle for a peek:)

    
  

i had such a great time out at the lake with you both! can’t wait for the dock wedding & boat ride to come!!! enjoy;)

laura + angelo {peek}

so the first of my summer weddings i was especially honored to be apart of…my dear friend laura married the love of her life angelo…they are such a great couple, who were completely laid back & just enjoyed their day together, (which many know is easier said than done!)…the bridal party was a hoot & put up a brave front, even though the girls had goosebumps the entire time we were at the park!  i will never forget my first greek wedding & enjoyed learning new customs & traditions…not to mention the reception! how much fun is traditional greek dancing!!!!

laura you looked beautiful doll & i hope you enjoy your peek back at your day!

how cute are laura’s parents?!?  neither had seen laura’s dress before this & they spent a good couple minutes passing the camera back & forth, fighting with it to capture this moment forever…not sure how their shot turned out but i love the what i captured…

both josh & i LOVED their cake

…simple, classic, elegant…

thankyou for allowing me to be apart of this great moment in your journey together through life…
