Thanks to all the early birds out there that have booked me, and to those of you who even considered booking me.  I'm so sorry I can't take you all, but I try to keep my wedding numbers down to ensure my clients the best possible photographer I can be!  Nobody wants me showing up tired for their wedding day!  

I still have lots of room for grad, maternity, and family portraits, just send an email my way!

Thanks again, I can't wait to start sharing these 2010 weddings with you all.  

So, finally, here's a few pics from my Spring session with Jordana:

With that, I have a little announcement.  There will be more changes coming in the future, but for now, just this;  I will no longer be doing children's and newborn sessions.  It's not that I don't love a challenge, or equally love the feeling when the photos turn out great despite the struggles to get to the end result, it's just that I want to make more room for the things I really love.  I will still be doing family sessions, including family sessions with your newborns, during which I always capture a few individual shots of your children, I just won't be doing individual children or newborn sessions.  

The sessions I will be focusing on now are:

Family

Graduation

Maternity

Engagement

Wedding

Back to School

and any type of "Just for Fun" session with anyone over the age of ten.

I'm excited to take on 2010 with new energy and excitement!  Please contact me for pricing.

And, since a post is boring without a picture, here's a tiny sneak peak from my trip:

This super cute little girl shared her chips with me!

Our cabina on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua

I am the proud owner of three sisters.  Yup, one of four girls in my family, and no brothers (my poor father!).  Growing up my two older sisters were my hero's, but not exactly my friends.  They were my baby sitters, my role models, and sometimes my enemy, but as a kid I wouldn't say we were close.  Of course as we grew older that all changed and now I am blessed with not only three sisters, but three great friends.  My relationship with my sister Kendra changed when I entered highschool and she was in grade 12.  Suddenly I wasn't just her twerpy little sister, but somehow became someone she respected.  She recruited me to work on the yearbook that year, as she was the editor.  I partially credit that yearbook work to the beginning of my passion for photography.  When she moved out after highschool I spent many weekends visiting her in her Winnipeg apartment, exploring the "big city".  When I finished highschool and didn't know what to do with my life, I moved to Halifax to live with her for a year while she went to college.  We spent Christmas that year just the two of us and our two foot Christmas tree.  When I started spending my summers in Sioux Narrows, she came to visit often to spend time with me at the lake.  I spent 6 weeks in South America in 2005 and she met me in Costa Rica at the end of my trip for a week of what we called "the beach bum tour".  She moved to Toronto and I went to visit her and get a taste of real city life.  We rode the subway and she made me try sushi.  I bought a house in Winkler and she moved in so I could afford my mortgage when I went to school.  Our lives have been constantly affected by one another in so many wonderful ways.  We fight like sisters, and we love like best friends.  

These days our lives lead us in opposite directions more often than not.  Real life gets in the way, work is busy, we are constantly making plans and rescheduling them.  I miss her constantly (as I miss my other sisters as well).  We connected one gorgeous day in October for a just for fun photo session.  It was so great to just hang out, not talk about all of our problems and our busy lives, but just have fun.  We drove around in the country for a couple of hours exploring the gravel roads, seeing where they would take us.  We had such a great time we were almost late for our date with two of our favorite men, our Dad and our nephew Tristan and an evening of trick-or-treating!

Here's what we ended up with...
