Isla is turning 1!!

Isn't she just gorgeous!!   We had an awesome time!   Isla was very serious the whole time...Mom and Dad said she had a total giggle outburst when she got to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner...Always the way!  

I had an excellent time, Shelley and Tommy danced around singing songs on the beach and in the field to try and get a few smiles!   Such a cute family.

I couldn't decide if I like them in colour or sepia so I posted a few of each.


Thank you very much, and I'm so so happy that you LOVE the photos!!!

Baby Emma & Big Sis Maisy

Today I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Emma & Maisy and their family.   Emma is actually not due until Monday, however, she is almost two weeks old and an absolute beauty!!!  ....unfortunately she was not all for the camera...or maybe all to into the camera as she just would not fall asleep, against mom and dad's best efforts to keep her awake the whole drive in from Oyama.  

However, when I could not photograph Emma, Maisy kept us very busy running this way and that....and although her cheese fish were much more what she was after we did get some beautiful shots of this gorgeous little girls with eyes that draw you in to her playful spirit!! 

Thank you so much, Bridget, Craig, Maisy and Emma you are an amazing family!  

My Favourite!!!

...She sleeps!!

I love this last one!!   Maisy would was having way to much fun to lay down and lend me her feet!....but hey photos shouldn't be perfect....they should be life!!   I'm so glad I kept shooting!!!

A little Comparison!

Today....

5 months ago....

A few more Fav's

Here are a few more of Giovanni and his big brothers!!!   I love the one of all of their feet....can you imagine the retake on that one even in a year or so.....

My Fav of the session!

Giovanni in the desert!

Giovanni turned 5 months yesterday and I was honoured to get to photograph this amazing little guy again!  This photo session stems from Chrisitna's maternity session, and the Giovanni's debut.  We had so much fun going out into the desert to take most of these.....although a coyote watched only 25 feet away!!!   SCARY!!!!  -  We were all ready to grab and go...but he left and we kept shooting!   I love these photos!  This family is so amazing so full of love and Giovanni's big brothers Dylan and Kyle, have a great time with him.

Gabby & Mimi!

OMGoodness, OMGoodness, OMGoodness!   If I could ever have the pleasure of shooting not only a gorgeous couple but a gorgeous story this would take the cake.   

Gabby had arranged the perfect day to propose to ‘his wife to be’....hopefully;-)  The Australian sun was shinning bright, dinner and drinks were taken care of....and Mimi looked stunning......(for this to happen she just had to show up ;-))  A gorgeous girl housing a more amazing spirit!   

Gabby bent down at sunset to propose to the woman he adored so much.  He had made the decision to intertwine every part of her being with his. 

Mimi took no time to announce her dedicating love to this amazing man...with a YES!

Gabby’s reply......please turn around so we can get married RIGHT NOW!!   Gabby’s grandmother was their flower girl.  Gabby had the alter, bouquet and judicator arranged!!   Probably the most romantic.....risky......brave!  story I have ever heard!   They got married on a beautiful Australian beach, with the sun setting in the background...., just minutes after their engagement. 

Melanie’s (Mimi’s) mom asked me to capture the love between them that she can see in her daughters eye, but can only imagine from afar! 


To capture their love in a 20 minute session was not a difficult task at all!  The passion that burned was stronger then the winds that blew.

I had a very humbling, gratifying time. 


 Gabby and Melanie are ‘vacationing’ from Australia, and with all the snow, slate, hail, pouring rain, and glimpses of sun, they still were game to venture out to get these!

We planned for the Goose Spit Beach....however, with hurricane winds, that was not the ideal spot ;-)   So we headed to a nearby forest to hide out from the extreme Island weather!
