This holiday I received some beautiful news: Christa & Jorden, a couple whose wedding I photographed last Summer on July 5th, 2013, are expecting their first little one this July 2nd! Warmest congratulations, you two! I’m so excited for you, and your child will be absolutely blessed to enter a home filled with so much love.
The Giacca Kids – Family Session
Monika approached me with a really sweet idea: she and her brothers wanted to get some portraits taken as a special gift to their parents for Christmas. They decided they would print one of the photos super large and frame it, and put the rest into a special album. (Can you guess which one they wanted to frame?) What a beautifully sentimental gift, and wonderful way to celebrate sibling love. I’m sure their parents will be so touched. It was a pleasure, guys!
Julian’s 1st Communion
What a gorgeous Sunday for a family event! Julian’s parents asked me to photograph the reception portion of their son Julian’s 1st Communion – what a nice day. The sun shone brightly and it felt like Summer. The patio doors were wide open and guests enjoyed themselves both indoors and out. The kids were having a blast, and the adults were in a playful mood. Definitely a great way to spend a Sunday!
Mason’s 1st Birthday – Cake Smash!
Mason’s mother Alyssa contacted me after finding my page on Facebook – she wanted to get some photos taken to celebrate her son’s first birthday, and she loved the idea of a cake smash. The concept is adorable: baby’s first cake – watch them go wild. Alyssa made the cake herself, and Mason was definitely a fan. At one point he was shoving fistfuls of cake into his mouth, and then just decided the best way to go at it was to put his whole face into it – hilarious! It was a pleasure visiting with Alyssa and Mason – we had a blast!
Before things got messy.
Before things got messy. This was hilarious – Mason just sat there for a while, arm up on the balloon as if it was an armrest on a recliner – looking at the cake, just chillin’. Finally, after some prompting from his mum, he dug in. And BOY did he dig in! More photos from Mason’s 1st birthday cake smash to come!
Mason’s 1st Birthday – Sneak Peek!
Hey y’all! My goodness, I met the *cutest* baby boy today for a photo session celebrating his first birthday. Here’s a sneak peek; full blog post (with a cake smash!!) to follow!
Ariana & Jamie – Fall Family Fun
Ariana wanted to do a shoot with her son Jamie at the height of the colourful Autumn season, and we had fun frolicking about in the forest, marveling at the stunning Fall colours. I had so much fun hanging out with this wonderful, abundantly energetic pair. Between frequent kisses and hugs, and many impromptu play fights, it was easy to see that these two share a very special bond.
