Rockin' Realtor Portrait

Elizabeth Lock asked me to do some new updated realtor headshots for her last week. What started out as more traditional headshots at the studio soon evolved into some relaxed & really great shot of Elizabeth. What fun. Thanks for trusting me Elizabeth & letting me take you outside your comfort zone a bit. I think we created some awesome images.

Ridiculously Adorable Rex

You know when you see a little kid who's too adorable? When everything they do is super cute & when they smile your heart melts a little & you find yourself saying 'aaaahhhh' in a voice a few octaves higher than normal way too many times? Even if they puke or cry it's still stinkin' cute? Rex is that kid. Shannon & Mike are wonderful people & parents & their little king is a reflection of all their best parts poured into a gorgeous little baby boy. Check him out at 7 months old.

Naughty & Nice Nolan

4 year old boys can be notoriously difficult to photograph & with Nolan's shoot last week this definitely was the case. One moment he was super sweet - kissing him mom, saying please & thank-you & the next minute he was off running, cranky & un-cooperative. I've been photographing Nolan for years now & as we wandered around the park Shannon & I laughed about his stubborn streak & as she wanted me to, I captured him for just who he is - a wonderful, strong willed, stubborn, loving, sweet 4 year old boy. Enjoy the photos Shannon - you have so much patience & love - you're doing an amazing job!

Andria & Braidon's Juicy Details by Lynn Fletcher Weddings

‘Miami nightclub’ was the theme of Andria & Braidon’s gorgeous reception at Spruce Meadows & the room was transformed. While the band, ‘Living in Swing’ was playing in the background guests were swept away enjoying delicious appys & candy liquor drinks. Crazy pinks, green, purple, turquoise set over black accentuated with butterflies & feathers adorned the room. The color slowly changed in the room as it was illuminated behind floor to ceiling translucent drapes from blue to green to pink to purple providing amazing ambiance. The custom designed crocked wedding cake was a feature - as was the monogrammed ice luge for martinis. Though we were only there to take photos for a short time the events of the evening included Chilean & burlesque dancers & more live music along with the traditional first dance & cake cutting. Lynn Fletcher from Lynn Fletcher Weddings was the master planner behind all this & wow - I know it was a night to remember for everyone who was there!

Nancy & Jeff e-session

I have been waiting to shoot an e-session with these guys for over a year and last holiday Monday we finally got together down at Fish Creek park. Nancy & Jeff were super laid back and really seemed to have a great time just being together.As you can see from these awesome shots, they were all smiles and laughter and very affectionate.
