Whitby,Durham Region Children Photographer:: Toddlers in the park

Finally getting a chance to blog some sneaks from the last few sessions.  WOW..what a busy week let alone weekend :) Oh my goodness was all I kept thinking during this session. Look at all these adorable little faces.  I, met with Sharon on Friday morning for our session.  Sharon planned a wonderful session for 5 toddlers!  5 yes you read that right!  You see Sharon is expecting her 3rd child ( looking forward to our newborn session) and is having to let go of her daycare babies.  So this session was a WONDERFUL momento of how she has grown with these little ones. Helping to raise them to be the smart little ones they are today.  God Bless ya girl. xo

I took everyone to a park where I know things would be in our favor and my experience was right.  It was FUN!.  Busy and face paced but FUN.  Just look at some of these beautiful faces I was blessed to photograph the other day.

Favourite monkey stole the show!

Love the old time feel to this one

Big puffy heart this face!

Bubble bounced right off her forehead. Yup, couldn't have done a better job! :)

Thanks so much Sharon. You are awesome!  SO can't wait for our session this fall!

Enjoy!

Ajax, Oshawa, Children, Family Photographer:: 3 little monkey's...

One of the highlights of being a photographer is the pleasure of seeing your  repeat clients and watching their families grow.  It's truly is an honour to walk with you and steal some precious moments together once again.  This was the case earlier this week when I met this sweet young, fun family from Oshawa.  A little over 2 years have passed since I've seen them last.  As I photographed their middle daughter's newborn pictures.  How she's grown and what a little cutie she is.  Talk about personality.  Sure rings true that the 2nd child is SO different and fearless to a first born! Both girls are brown eyed beauties.  Funny I see a lot of what I used to look like at age 5 in the eldest! Curls and all :D Well now there's 3.  Sweet little, laid back Stephen!  He sure is pretty cool with his sisters adoring him and showering the hugs and kisses. How cute is he!  I look forward to seeing him grow!  We had fun, the girls did their own thing as they do and we just went with the flow.  Les, and Karin, thanks so much for allowing me to work with you once again!  Your family is awesome!

 

LOVE this one...singing us some sweet songs... :)

Durham Region,Ajax,Whitby,Oshawa,GTA Photographer: Clothing choices

Hey all, I hope that you are enjoying your summer so far?  Hot enough for everyone? We certainly have had our share of hot and humid already!  Certainly makes for fun in the sun though.

It's a topic that arises so often these days.  "What should we wear?"  Since it's been a while, I thought I'd post some ideas once again. Just remember, these are ideas only.  How you envision your session to feel and look depends on what you bring to it.  Not just material items too.  The clothing choices you decide on, you need to be comfortable in.  The aura that you emit while in front of the camera needs to emulate you and your personality. Love yourself and no matter what you wear you will be RADIANT in your images!

I've come across an awesome blog by another very talented photographer Karlen Kleinkopf.  She offers wonderful aids for those in the "baffled stage" on what to wear to your session.

Check it out...

 

Need some more info? Check this earlier blog post found HERE.

Enjoy and look forward to our sessions together!

Thanks Karlen for the visuals!

Ajax,Durham Region, GTA Family Photographer:: Fashion Friday!

Been a little while and now that we are welcoming Spring with open arms, it's about time for a what to wear post now that the questions are more frequent :) Here's a few ideas and visuals to help.

 

 

A few tips to remember:

Be comfy- when we are outdoors we will have fun, be prepared to lay down in the grass, sit on a tree branch or stump,run! You need to be able to move around freely in your clothing. Kids especially. Uncomfortable children = cranky children and we all know how it goes from there ;D

Layer- looks wonderful and gives depth to a photograph!

Coordinate- clothing should coordinate with your location and type of session your are aiming for. Your choices of clothing should be coordinated together.  This is where it all ties in.

Don't be afraid of colour, however please omit the matching tops or bottoms.  Matching clothing can result in a not so wonderful photo.

Don't stress- I want this to be a fun experience for you and the family.  Don't stress.  Should you have any questions, just drop me a line and I'll glady help out.  You are going to be awesome! No worries.

Feel great- feeling comfortable about your clothing choices and yourself makes all the world in LOVING your images. I want you to LOVE your images too.  Being yourself and feeling beautiful allows the fantastic person you really are shine during your session!
