Mom, neighbour, and fellow ‘Mompreneur’ brought her newest addition for photographs. ‘B’ is absolutely wonderful as is his mother - who is selflessly going to be participating in the Weekend To Cure Women’s Cancer. Thank you for that.

(BTW - this little guy has the CUTEST little bum - I sooooooo WANT to post pictures, but I won’t.)

This baby girl is absolutely gorgeous. Her mom and Grandparents brought her when she was very ‘fresh’ for some photographs which included traditional Moroccan outfits (for both Mom & little ‘M’.)

Can you believe her hair! Don’t you just want to run your fingers through it?!?!?

When you are uprooting the family and moving to Australia, what can you leave with the Grandparents, family and friends to remember you by? Well, photographs of course!

I have had the absolute pleasure of documenting this amazing family grow through the years. Thank you for trusting me to capture your family’s uniqueness.

Can you believe these lashes?!?!?

Yup. Pretty much the exact opposite side of the Earth.

Canadian pride!

Capturing ‘L’s special talent in a fun way!

Having lots of fun playing with some crinoline.

And then there are these lovely lashes! (Yikes. Are these parents in trouble in a few years!)

Where they are going, this cute coat will no longer be required!

So the beautiful dancer ‘L’ is back from L.A. with a new hair colour and needed a few updated headshots. Unfortunately (for me) she did not require new full body action shots for her portfolio.

She liked the look of warm backlighting, so we met as the sun was about to set one evening early in the new year.

… and of course some silliness and fun has to find it’s way into the session!

We had some ‘assistance’ with the snow

And then we came back to the studio for some more glamed up photographs (and once again, we had some ‘assistance’ with the wind blown hair too!)

Since it is a beautiful July evening, I thought I might ‘cool’ you down with some images from a fun (albeit chilly) session from this past January.

I am lucky to have amongst my friends, these 2 lovely ladies. Their Mom was turning 60 and to commemorate the special event they wanted a photo shoot. Books, Olympic mitts, and a snowball fight all made it a memorable excursion.

Happy Birthday - you are much loved!

In order to live life to the fullest, and have adventures, you must take risks and go outside your comfort zone.

I certainly have many wonderful friends. One such friend mentioned the flash mob in conjunction with the International Street Performers Festival. She told me the rehearsal details - all genders/ages/sizes were welcome. (For those who are unfamiliar - a flash mob is a surprise dance in a public place - think BlackEyed Peas ‘I’ve Got a Feeling on Oprah - it caused quite a sensation!)

My daughters and I committed to going to the practices (Winspear!)- we were so pumped! The girls chose their outfits wisely (a flamingo & giraffe for the opening Lion King sequence - not on this video.) The night before our big day I could hardly sleep - excited for creating a memory with the girls and nervous about performing in front of so many people.

Here it is - and yes, I DID go right instead of left - oh well!

This was after the performance with our amazingly talented and patient instructors from Australia Fez Faanana and Neridah Waters.

Thank you both so very much for providing ‘common people ‘ like us this opportunity.

Here is Thursday’s performance:
