“We never dreamed…”

“We never dreamed you’d be so beautiful…

In all of the times we tried to imagine

every last detail of who you would be,

thru all of the nights we spent quietly thinking

of how we would feel

when we first looked at you,

we patiently waited

and silently wondered.

We hoped and we prayed

and we tried to imagine…

but we never dreamed you’d be so beautiful.”

This week was a wonderful week.  I was blessed to capture not just one but TWO newborn bundles of joy!

Here is little mister “L”.  L is a wonderful, happy bouncing baby boy.  He was the perfect little GQ model, quite happy to pose for me in any way I chose. L is also my husband’s tiny 3rd cousin!  What a wonderful addition to the family

Thank you C and J for inviting me in to meet your new cutie pie.  It was truly my pleasure to spend time with both of you and to enjoy cuddling L.  I don’t think there is a better job in the world!

I had the most incredible, fun afternoon yesterday!  The R family invited me into their home to capture a small part of the story of their lives.

I absolutely love these three boys!  They are sweet, thoughtful, adventurous and LOVE to be outdoors!  We had so much fun playing games and trekking through a gorgeous wooded park.

Thank you, R family for your kindness and trust.  I could not think of a better way to spend a beautiful fall afternoon!

I met the sweetest family on Sunday.  B and her boys came all the way over from Michigan to do this amazing shoot with me.  Her boys are so adorable and we had so much fun playing games, exploring and running up and down the hill!  I truly enjoyed every minute.  We discovered snails, a fuzzy  caterpillar and glorious colours of autumn!

Happy Happy 7th birthday on Wednesday O!  I hope all your wishes and dreams come true

Thank you B, O and A for such an enjoyable afternoon!  You guys ROCKED this session!

What a beautiful autumn afternoon!  I met with the most wonderful family at the beach for a photo shoot and it rocked!  Mom and Dad are dear friends of mine and are  so sweet and the kids, well, they are amazing!  What a truly nice family.  I don’t think I have ever seen such luminescent blue eyes!

Even the furbaby was photogenic!

Thanks J and G  for asking me to capture your family today!  It was truly my pleasure.   Here is your sneak preview:

Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

I am truly thankful for friends like you

What do you get when you take 2 border collies, 1 Aussie, 1 rat terrier, and a very cute (border collie) puppy out for a photo shoot?

FUN,  lots and lots of  FUN!

It was a gorgeous autumn afternoon and the setting was perfect.  Essex county has wonderful scenic back roads and my great friend B found an excellent spot.

B has the most sweetest dogs I’ve ever met.  They are incredibly  smart and excel in obedience and agility.  She has done a fantastic job teaching  each of them and they absolutely adore her!  They really enjoyed the walk through the woods and stopping to strike a pose or two! Although photographing five dogs at once may seem a bit daunting, these guys were so well behaved, it was a piece of cake!

Thanks B for inviting me over and allowing me to capture your gorgeous, fun, and smart furbabies.  Did I mention SMART?  I had a blast! And I almost did sneak a very adorable border collie pup into my camera bag

She almost fit into my bag!

Today I had the joy of meeting a very new little person.  Baby “D” is only 8 days old and just the sweetest, most precious little boy ever!  He is blessed with the most loving mommy and daddy who are so in love with him, you can feel it as you are welcomed into their warm home.  Thanks D and M for entrusting me with the capture of these precious memories.

I can hardly wait to show you your sneak peek!  Amazing, simply amazing.

Congratulations, he indeed is wonder, hopes and a dream come true!

Yesterday I met the most wonderful, happy, beautiful baby girl!  “B” is sunshine, rainbows, smiles and happiness!

A perfect little Princess, from her sweet fuzzy head to her twinklie little toes!

Thanks mom, for allowing me to capture these precious, wonderful moments.  I had a wonderful afternoon.

It was a wonderful day!  The weather wasn’t very cooperative, but we still had a blast and met some really nice people and their pets!

Thank you once again, to all those who came out to meet me and have a pet portrait taken on Saturday!  I appreciate your kindness and support of such a great cause.  The Humane Society is in desperate need of expanding their facilities, and the money that I raised will be donated to the expansion fund!  Almost $400.00 was raised, and although it fell short of my goal for the day, I am still very pleased with the total   I am hoping to do a few more doggie sessions in the park this week to help bump up that amount!  If you missed me at this event, please email me for another shot at it this week, – angie@angiechauvin.com.

Here are just a few of the wonderful furbabies that came out to strut their stuff!

Thank you again Tecumseh and Windsor!  YOU ROCK!!!

I had the pleasure of photographing a most wonderful, kind, sweet family this past weekend.

We went to the beach and I watched as they laughed and enjoyed each others company.  It was a great photo session and I truly enjoyed meeting your mom and dad “S”!     They are such fantastic people – so friendly and warm.

I can easily see why you are such a wonderful person!

Thank you for asking me into your lives.  Here is your sneak peek!

What a beautiful  morning!  It was perfect light, perfect wildflowers, and pawsitively perfect dogs!

I had the pleasure of capturing wonderful moments in the lives of two very special Irish Wolfhounds with hearts that match their immenseness.  (Their combined weight is 360 lbs.!)

D and H are the sweetest, gentlest canine giants I have ever met.

They are  beautiful creatures and constant companions.

Thanks L for this great opportunity and such a fun time!  I left your home and softly whispered, “Amazing…”
