My Crew

I am one lucky lady! Every time I look at the beautiful pictures of us all together and the 4 people that mean more to me than words can describe I am reminded of how very lucky and blessed that I am. I never could have dreamed up a more wonderful existence than the one that has unraveled as my life.

It wasn't hard for me to choose a photographer at all! I knew from the moment that I met Bonnie it would be her. She is not only talented but she is so kind giving and generous. And once again I feel so lucky that we have crossed paths. Thank you Bonnie for these images that we will cherish always.

In the moment

When I photograph my children I am always after a certain shot. The best way to describe it would be a soulful gaze or stare. I want one shot of each of my kids, THE SHOT, and I'll know when I get it. In pursuit of my gaze shot I have gotten many other great ones and sometimes a picture really, really pulls at my heartstrings. The first picture here of Grace does just that, when I look at the pure happiness on her face I can almost hear her laughing, it's just her and it's lovely. So as I write this entry I am reminded that it's great to have dreams and goals but the moment, the now is a pretty precious place to be.

New Chapeau's (French for hats)

I know it's been a while since my last post buttttttt I have excuses...... good ones! My first excuse is that I was away in Edmonton and attended the Sandy Puc, Bellies & Babies Seminar, which was fantastic. I can hardly wait to try out some of the posing and lighting techniques! My other excuse is i'm feeling a bit limited with my blog and my little pictures..... I check out other photog's blogs and drool over the big pictures. Needless to say I am shopping around for a new blog, if anyone has suggestions i'd love to hear em! Okay so excuses aside I picked up the boys some new hats from H&M and well they are just too cute in their new hats. If you look closely at the first picture you'll notice something white in Smith's mouth, it's a little marshmallow, I had to put them on the chair in order to get stillness for a moment. This stage is so tricky to photograph, they just don't stop movin!!

Delightfully, Mandi
