Meet Amber.

She’s going to be a ballerina. She saw one recital, and now she has the dancing bug. She spent much of our time together twirling, jumping, and spinning. What a doll!

She is soon going to welcome a brother or a sister and there is no doubt she will entertain her new sibling for hours!


Mom is simply glowing and Dad is one proud Poppa.










Congratulations! I can’t wait to hear if it’s a boy or a girl!
Meet Rylie.

I took pictures of little R. when she was just weeks old. She is now two and so full of energy, curiosity, and life (she can also dance it out to Beyonce and The Black Eyed Peas…a girl after my own heart).

Meet Rylie’s little sister Jordyn. Isn’t she adorable?











Near the end of our session we tried for a quick family shot, but sometimes kids just aren’t in the mood for sitting (especially when they are two years old). You just have to roll with it! Personally, it’s these types of pictures like this last one that I enjoy most because it just speaks of true life, and life is so good!

Amy and I jumped at the opportunity to capture Tawny’s spirit. Tawny is one of those people that light up a room when she enters. She is reflective, passionate, vivacious, but also carries with her a peaceful demeanor that just puts others at ease.
These pictures signify a place that she has come from, but most importantly a future that she is embracing with a spirit of promise and enduring power. The blanket of clean fresh snow represents the new, the tree represents a time in her past, and the red is all about empowerment .
This is Tawny’s Spirit.













Thank you Tawny for sharing your beautiful spirit with us!

He has the best personality!


I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We are back home again after a relaxing trip to see our families. We spent our Christmas Skidooing, skating, eating, visiting, lounging, card-playing…ahhh it was such a good Christmas.
When I returned home, the B. Family’s pictures were calling me just waiting to be edited and blogged! Check out Part 1 here.
Again, I have to say this session was a great way to end the year. I had a blast photographing the fun connection within this family (who happen to be very dear to my heart) even though we couldn’t feel our fingers when we were done. I see Christmas cards for next year all over these photos












Happy New Year! I’m looking forward to capturing more life and love in 2010!
This is my last session of 2009! It was a bit last minute, but when my friends contacted me to capture their family having fun on the tobogganing hill, I was so excited! They are such a fun family, so these pictures really fit their personality.
Here is a quick sneak peek! I will blog a few more after Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone!




I can’t believe it’s been 3 months since little Sawyer entered the world! He sure has changed and is so alert and full of smiles now!

The K. family also wanted some family Christmas photos!














Thanks for coming over and spreading your holiday cheer! Merry Christmas to you!
Meet miss Kaylee.

Kaylee is 9 months and full of personality…such a fun age! This will be her first Christmas! I’m sure she will have fun ripping into all that Christmas wrapping and will most likely prefer playing with the boxes to the gifts inside.




In March she will be a big sister! So much to be thankful for this Christmas!












Thanks for spending the evening with me! Merry Christmas
Meet the H. family.

They also happen to be my family
Lee is my hubby’s brother. I was back to my home-town Vermilion for a family reunion, so I had the opportunity to shoot their family. It’s been 3 years since we last had a family session together, and Koti has sure grown up since then!

The morning of our session was beautiful. I have spent so much time this year shooting at sunset, I forgot how much I loved the sweet light of the morning. Dreamy light filtered in through the trees and created the perfect conditions for some fun with shadows


I love capturing the love between married couples. Love, Love, Love.











Thanks for spending the morning with me! Love you!
My friend beautiful friend and fellow photographer Heather asked me to capture what could be her last baby belly! What an incredible Christmas gift they will have this year!
Meet the D. family.


A little pregnancy glow of beautiful Heather.















Congratulations D. family! I can’t wait to meet the newest addition to your amazing family.
