snow princess | niagara teen photographer

We received a beautiful blanket of snow on Sunday and the sun was shining as well. All I wanted to do was go outside and take photos! Thank goodness I had a willing participant…..thank-you Alex I may be biased but I think she is stunning. She is my muse.

The first image is by far my favourite. Her crystal blue eyes are just mesmerizing. And for the record….her eyes are untouched! They are actually kind of freaky…they literally illuminate when they catch the light.

I wish more parents documented their children at this age. Do you remember being 21? You’re entering into young adulthood and the world is at your feet. Your future is bright, promising and ready for you. Ahhh….to be 21 again.

Can I just tell you how awesome this family is? I love them to pieces. They’re wonderful friends and amazing people.

They brought their little cousin along for some photos….how adorable is he?

siblings + prom + urban | fonthill teen and prom photographer

This session was a sibling plus prom session wrapped into one. I photographed Kendal and Mitchell around 6 years ago….wow time flies. Mom wanted some updated photos of them. Kendal was also attending prom this year so we took lots of fun photos of her and her boyfriend. There are so many from this session I LOVE….I wish I could share them all. Mom loves modern and was completely into the urban look…..which makes for a very happy photographer!

We started off at the studio with some outdoor shots. How gorgeous are these two?!

Then off to an urban location for prom pics. Kendal you are BEAUTIFUL!!!

O.K. seriously – how cute are they

Mitchell is sooooo photogenic.

Then back to the studio for some indoor shots…

17 + beautiful light | niagara teen photographers

Guess who’s 17 today?! It’s crazy….I have a 17 year old. Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter Alex.

These photos were taken last week. I was outside sitting on our patio having a drink. I looked over to the wooded area right next to our house and saw this gorgeous light filtering through the trees. I quickly asked Alex to throw on her tutu so we could take some photos quick….I knew that light would not last. She obliged and got ready literally in 10 minutes. We didn’t have time to put her pointe shoes on, as I knew we would loose the light….next time. I loooove these and thankfully Alex loves them too (she came out of the wooden area with at least 20 mosquito bites – looked at me and said “this better be worth it”). I think it was!

Anthony attends college in the states on a baseball scholarship. He came to the studio during Christmas holidays for some photos.

Such a good looking boy!

a girl and her horse | niagara photographers

Katie wanted to document her love and relationship with her horse Allegro. I met her at her parent’s beautiful home in Smithville to photograph Katie and Allegro as well as her mom and her horse Kismet. They’re such beautiful animals and I could tell immediately how much Katie loved her Allegro.

Nevada Family | st. catharines family photographers

Daniela — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:59:05 +0000

This family is originally from Niagara but now live in Nevada. I took photos of the kids about five years ago…..wow time flies. It was so great to see them again all grown up! Deb – loved seeing you and your beautiful family….thanks for booking a session during your visit back home. It was great to see you!

Don’t you love the yummy background? These were taken in the carriage house studio!

family, hockey, riding and a dog | niagara family photographer

Daniela — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:20:26 +0000

We covered a little bit of everything during this session with this Erie PA family. We had a separate session a few weeks prior for Ava and Sarah. For this session we focused on family photos, son Trey and their adorable yorkie Crosby!

It started to rain, so we took the rest of the photos in my new carriage house studio. It’s not quite finished but I just HAD to use it for a session. The photos with the 130 year old barn board are just yummy don’t you think?

I have a very special connection with this family. I photographed Ava and Trey about 4 years ago. Their mom, Deb, fell in love with my yorkie Hershey. When Deb found out I bred Hershey and that she was having puppies, she immediately knew she had to have one. I remember her saying that it just felt right. Deb picked Reese, one of the male pups, from my online photos. They had Reese for 6 months when a very unfortunate, fatal incident happened. Reese licked antifreeze from their truck in the driveway. Antifreeze is very sweet tasting but very deadly to a dog that size. It’s a story worth re-telling since it’s something that could happen to any dog….especially small ones.

I was so excited to meet their new yorkie – Sidney Crosby (do you think their hockey fans?!). He is sooo adorable and oddly enough, Crosby looks more like Hershey than any of her pups!
