It’s Christmas Eve…my family’s favourite day of the entire year. We have a wonderful tradition. My sister’s family and my parents always sleep over at our house Christmas Eve. It all begins with an incredible meal including calamari, pasta with clams, shrimp, seafood pasta, stuffed mushrooms and much, much more. It’s truly a meal we all look forward to all year round! We open up gifts after midnight and usually end up watching a movie that the kid’s received for Christmas. On Christmas Day we attend mass and then gather at my sister’s house for yet again another incredible meal!

To all of my clients and friends, I wish you a wonderful Christmas filled with family, tradition and love.

The studio is now closed for the holidays - reopening January 4th.

Here’s another session taken at a client’s home. Meet 2 week old Alexander who was well over 9 lbs at birth…wow.

Look at his fingers in this photo…..adorable.
I love little piggies…

I looove taking photos in my clients’ homes.It allows us to get a bit creative and use items throughout the house in the photos…like in this case….on the piano.  Meet sweet Gabriella:

This workshop with Nico (SYTYCD Canada Winner Season 1) and  Kayla (SYTYCD US Top 4 Season 5) was such an INCREDIBLE experience for the girls!!!! It was small and intimate with only about 25 dancers in each class. It was an experience they will never forget. There were a lot of screams, tears of joy, nerves and laughter. Quoting the girls “It was the best day of their lives!”.

I think I was the only mom that asked to get a picture with Nico lol! Ummm….can my smile be any bigger?!

Kayla is sooooo beautiful and the girls really enjoyed her class.

I took more video than photos. Here’s a clip from the class with Nico. Alex is the one on the right with the white long-sleeve

I recently photographed a beautiful little girl and her family. Four year old Alivia is just the sweetest little thing - full of smiles and pure sunshine. Last December, Alivia’s parents found out she had neuroblastoma, a nerve cancer. She has been battling this for a year but still has a long road ahead. Alivia goes in for surgery on December 18th to have her tumor removed. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Although I only met Alivia for the first time at the photo session - I know she’s a fighter. She exudes positive energy…seriously.

Like I said….. pure sunshine

Mom is expecting baby #4……love this photo.

What a beautiful family!

At the end of the session, Alivia wanted a photo of her and Hershey.

Hershey’s used to being in front of my camera so she had no problem with it!

Chantal and Craig - it was truly my pleasure photographing your beautiful family. I want you to know that I’m sending my prayers and positive energy Alivia’s way.

I have so many amazing photos from this session….I wish I could share them all! Meet 2 week old Charlee.

Charlee is such a gorgeous baby!

omg….look at those eyelashes and those squishy lips!

Jodie and Rich….gosh you make beautiful babies! I can’t get over how much Nolan looks like his older brother and sister.

He was so good during the session and didn’t mind all the hats we put on him….he suits them don’t you think?

Look at those adorable lips!

In this photo he’s showing his rocker side:

Mom…you have the cutest hats and clothes for your children…I can’t stand it!
