“Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.” — M. Brown

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!

Aussie Fun Day!

Happy Sunday everyone!

No, I didn’t just get back from a trip to Australia, (although, that would be nice!). But this was definitely the next best thing.

My family and I were invited to attend a totally fun FUNDAY to benefit the Michigan Australian Shepherd Rescue.  It was such an “Aussisome” day and there was so many great things to do and watch.  Agility, duck herding, fantastic raffle with amazing prizes – (my daughters luck won us a beautiful basket filled with tons of doggie toys and treats).

The lunch was delicious, the company warm and friendly and the canines, incredible.

Our rescue Aubree had the time of her life and thought she was in Aussie Heaven!  She ran like the wind with dozens of fellow Aussies and absolutely loved the agility.  The weather held out for us and I got to capture some amazing, wondrous moments at a wonderful event!

Thanks Morna and the ARM for your warm hospitality and for doing all that you do to save these sweet sweet furbabies.

Many more images to follow soon on my website.  Special thanks to my talented son who also shot lots of the action!

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!

Little Princess “A” ♥

Once upon a time, in a land not-so-far-away,  there lived a very beautiful little princess.  I’ll call her Princess “A”.  She loved to dance and romp  outside the royal castle  wearing her most favourite  pretty  ballerina outfits and sunny summer dresses.

Princess A was very happy, gentle and kind.  She loved to sing la la la la la all day long in the sunshine.  She loved to play peek a boo,  and “He loves me, He loves me not”  in the royal gardens.  Flowers were, after all, her most treasured possessions!   Her mommy and daddy loved her very much and watched in amazement  as their sweet little princess grew preciously  before their very eyes!

…..And they all lived happily ever after ♥

Thank you Princess A for spending the afternoon with me!  I am truly honoured!

“If I have a monument in this world, it is my son.” — Maya Angelou

Last evening I met the most amazing, beautiful,  gracious little family.  We had been trying to schedule a beach shoot for a few weeks, but the weather just wouldn’t cooperate.  Until yesterday.

I fell in love with little L. as soon as I saw him.  He is adorable, funny, and loves a good game of peek-a-boo.  His eyes are luminous and many times during the shoot, I actually had to catch my breath.  It was one of the best sessions ever, and it ended even more wonderfully than it had begun.  With two little arms outstretched to me asking for a hug.  Does life get any better than this?

Thank you M  family.  I had a fantastic time!   🙂

“Two souls, ♥ One heart…”

What a gorgeous day!

What a beautiful  moment in this couple’s new life.

I was honoured to be asked to photograph R. and B.’s wedding in beautiful Amherstburg!  They are  one of the sweetest couples I have ever met.  R. was radiant and adorable  and B. was handsome and kind, in spite of the fact that  he was under the weather.  They were surrounded by close family and friends.  It was perfect simplicity.

Thank you for inviting me in and allowing me to capture the magic of your wedding day 🙂

Special kudos go out to my bro Tom, and my son Kevin for their wonderful help!  You guys rock!

Last evening, I had the pleasure of meeting two wonderful families and photographing the four sweet cousins.

A, L, J and G were so much fun and even though it was sweltering hot, they still managed to have a good time and be amazing little models for my camera 🙂  We played in the sand, chased bubbles, walked along the water and finished off with some good climbs and swings on the play equipment.  I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a summer evening!

Thank you moms for trusting me to photograph your beautiful children.  Here is your sneak peek!  (Be sure to click on thumbnails for larger view 🙂

My son Kevin captured this shot 🙂
