“A boy’s story is the best that is ever told.” – Charles Dickens

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!

Here is your sneak peek!

“The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing.”

Have you ever had a day where you felt you could almost burst with joy?  Have you ever been working and realize how immensely lucky you are to be doing something you absolutely LOVE to do?  Today was that day for me.

The weather – perfect, the light –  glorious, the lens…..well, nothing short of magical.  This was my first photo session using my newest Canon  lens,  the 85 L  1.2.   I could hardly wait to upload the images.

And the children  – Wow – amazing, beautiful, sweet and so much  fun!

The greatest compliment I could ever be given is to have a little sweetie who wants nothing more than  to hold my hand and walk with me.

Thanks Moms, for trusting me to capture these wonderful moments today.  It was truly my pleasure.

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 🙂

I met the most wonderful little furbaby yesterday afternoon.  Bobby is a beautiful,  sweet  Pappillon with a heart and soul much larger than his little being.  Bobby  lives with his sweet little playmate Molly.  His is the 2009 Pet Idol here in town!  I had the pleasure of being the “dogographer”  to shoot his first glamour shots.

We had lots of fun going for a walk to the beach and lounging in the window of their cozy home. Bobby and Molly are two very lucky dogs to have such a loving, kind person taking care of them.  Thanks “M” for inviting me over and allowing me to capture some very special moments.  More images soon!

Meet Bobby (and Molly)!

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!!!

“It is hard to be brave, when you’re only a Very Small Animal.” – Anonymous

Yesterday I met three wonderful furbabies.  There are so,  so, so,  many at the shelter.  People move away, abandon their pets, many treated as though they are simply disposable.  And then there are the very sad ones who have lost their masters.  I can’t even imagine how they must feel being in a cage day after day after day…..waiting…..hoping.

If you have room in your heart and your home, please consider a visit to the shelter to see the great companions that are waiting for a kind person  to give them the great life they deserve.  I guarantee that you will get much more than you give when you give a helpless animal the gift of life.

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!   🙂

There is a wonderful young family that I was blessed to meet last night.    Mom –  beautiful, kind and warm.  Dad – gentle, fun and loving.  And baby G. – beautiful, sweet, graceful, oh – so very graceful!

I had the pleasure of capturing some of the fleeting moments that pass all too quickly.  They are such a joy to be around and I truly loved spending time, snapping away in the early evening glow.  Thank you M family for allowing me to photograph this incredible time of your lives.  Baby G is simply gorgeous ♥  Enjoy enjoying her 🙂

It was a gorgeous Saturday  morning  and I met with the most wonderful couple for an engagement shoot.  I am very flattered that they traveled over the border from MI to meet with me here.

S and H are so in love, you can feel it in the air when you are around them.  They are so sweet, funny and warm, it was very easy to have fun!  We walked along the beach where  I was able to capture some beautiful, tender moments they shared.

It was a picture perfect photo shoot with a picture perfect couple.  Thanks S and H for allowing me into your lives.  I wish you lots of love, health and happiness on this wonderful journey you are about to embark on.

Here is a small sneak preview of the captures:
