B&W family portraitPIN

Another wonderful family welcomed their second baby just a short while ago.  I’ve had the great pleasure of photographing several of their greatest milestones over the years and have become close friends with them.  Their newest addition, Brooklyn.

Her adorable nose and lips, features that I can’t pass up photographing.  Looking back and my own children’s newborn features, I can still see that they look the same.

And then there are those adorable baby smiles and I know exactly what that means

Baby portraits are the one thing that lasts a lifetime.  If you’d like to give a gift that they will cherish, consider giving them a gift certificate toward a newborn photography session.

We had the pleasure of photographing Ray & Rox’s beautiful maternity session.  We met up in Dundas ON in the late afternoon and we welcomed the warmth of the setting sun.  Exploring some trails and even dipping our toes in the water, we had a wonderful time getting reacquainted.

Maternity pictures are a great addition to your newborn photos.  Ray & Rox are coming back in as soon as she delivers so stay tuned for their upcoming newborn photos.

I’d love to chat with you if you’re considering maternity photography.

I was so happy for my friends John & Mandy.  I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding a couple weeks back.  Their wedding ceremony was in Niagara but we headed to Liuna Gardens for a small reception with their friends and family.  I’ve had the unique opportunity of knowing John for several years, working with him on multiple occasions.  He runs Reel4Real, a cinematic company specialising in weddings and events.

Portrait of the groomPIN

One thing that I love about photographing weddings is the morning prep.  Chatting with the guys, photographing details and getting some great portraits of the groom is a must, it’s not all about the bride.

Just as photographing the guys is fun, we always have a blast with the ladies too – Including this one with John’s sister playing around 🙂

Just spending a few minutes after the wedding ceremony, we took a few images of John & Mandy around the grounds.

When you’ve gotta snack, you need to snack.  John and Mandy stopped by a McDonalds before getting to their reception.  How cute is this photo of them sharing a drink.

And of course, Mandy getting her Big Mac in too.  Who’s not going to love a bride eating a Big Mac, yum.

If we’re photographing your wedding at Liuna Gardens, you’re going to be coming outside at some point in the evening for some wedding photos along the waterfront.

It’s always a pleasure working with you John, exept this time it was extraordinary.  I’m so thankful to you both for having me photograph this importaint day for you and creating a memory for you that I hope you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Check out Jeff Rocchi’s wedding video he shot and cut together for a same day wedding video played at the reception.

Beautiful newborn photos – I can’t think of anything else I’d want other than a healthy baby and more sleep 🙂  I’ve had the pleasure of photographing several life events for this family including their wedding and their first baby girl Amelia.  Amelia was on hand to help and cuddle Michaela and it was adorable.  Always a pleasure Mike and Amanda, I can’t wait to watch her grow over this first year.
