Spring in Boston has got to be one of the most beautiful times of the year, which is hard to believe since Summer, Autumn and Winter are equally as picturesque, but Spring really is the celebration of new life and the rejuvenation of everything around us.
Meet Baby Julian!
It wasn't too long ago that my friend Alaina was expecting a little bundle of joy...and in the last couple of weeks he arrived!
Meet the Isbouts
I am over the moon thrilled for my dear friend Alaina and her sweet husband Philip who are expecting their first baby in a couple of weeks.
Meet Baby Evie!
I'm so happy for my friends A + J who recently had a beautiful baby girl, Evie. I loved capturing this gorgeous little baby girl with a full head of hair and the rosiest cheeks.
Hello Molly: Cake Smash
Remember sweet baby Molly who we met last year? She just turned ONE!
To celebrate her big birthday, I thought a Cake Smash photo session would be a terrific idea. You get to eat your cake and smash it, too, right?
Little did we know, Molly doesn't like cake all that much....
Still, she was an absolute trooper and did an amazing job!
Happy 1st Birthday Molly!
Introducing: Theo
Introducing a new member to my sister's family...his name is THEO! He's a schnoodle (a poodle and a schnauzer) and just a puppy and absolutely adorable.
Here he is hanging out on a Saturday.
Welcome to the family Theo. xo
Hello Molly!
I had the honor of photographing baby Molly, recently. There's nothing like capturing the innocence, beauty and fragility of a new baby. Molly had just turned four months old at the time of this shoot and was a professional superstar! Her lovely Mom was a delight to work with, singing tunes that, I admit, I've been singing all week!
So, say "Hello!" to Molly! (And to Buddha, who came to play!)
Thank you to Cara and Molly for a wonderful photo session!
Greece: Santorini, RGBY
After our hike, and surprise encounter, there was time for a last saunter through the village for souvenirs and THIS!
*RGBY = Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, the colours that summarize this post.
Happy Mother's Day
My favourite photo of my Mom and me, taken by my Dad, circa 1979.
Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms out there.
Greece: Athens, Odd
Here are some odd shots from around Athens. Just 'cause.
Merry Christmas, 2011!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the holiday season! We were so happy to be able to go home to Toronto for the holidays. After moving to Boston in the summer, this was our first trip back, so it was really nice to catch up with family and friends and do not much of anything else. Except eat, of course. The following sums up our holiday fairly well. 
The Hamilton's III
I absolutely LOVE shooting the Hamilton's! Their enthusiasm and boundless energy for shoots (and for life, in general!) always amazes me, and this third time around (see I and II, here) was no different. In downtown Oakville, with a nautical backdrop (including props which I didn't even have to ask for - see what I mean when I say these guys are pros?), we were ready. An added bonus was happening upon a very cool old Dodge, which made for a fun "Cars" inspired theme. This was Baby Benny's first shoot, having featured him last as a baby bump, this time, he was a natural in front of the camera. Em, of course, is one of my favourites, I adore capturing the lil' guy, who's growing up mighty quick! Then there's K&S who are always up for anything. Be it waiting for threatening waves to break across the pier, then running away with their kids. Or....having to pretend fish for the camera then actually having to fish out one of the said props. K&S, you guys are priceless, I love you; thank you so much for your continuous support. Words can't express how much it means to me to capture your growing family. xo
Happy 1st Birthday Benny!
A year ago Bennett was born.
He was first photographed here, as a baby bump.
We've been honoured to have had annual photoshoots with The Hamiltons and a few weeks ago we did our THIRD shoot with them!
Teasers to come soon! For now...
Happy 1st Birthday Benny! xoxo
The Bright's
It was such an honour to capture the Bright family, who are dear friends of ours. The J-man and Natalie made the perfect subjects for our "bright" and early morning shoot at Springridge Farm. What complete sports they all were, traipsing around in the sandbox and on bales of hay with various props in the hot sun. Thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to capture these moments for you. xo
Lady Marmalade + Julius Caesar Part I
On Saturday I met up with some of my girlfriends for brunch at Lady Marmalade on Queen St. in Leslieville in Toronto.
A brought her bubbly 16 month old daughter Jasmine (who you've met before from their family photo shoot last June!). Jasmine is a favourite of mine to shoot, along with Anokhi, another close friend's baby. The two of them have been shot several times by me since they've been born; see them together here. I've even photographed them before they were born, at A's baby shower and K's baby bump shoot)! So it was a real treat to see Jasmine again and capture her cheery laugh and sweet disposition (can you believe she can hold a fork and feed herself on her own?) After brunch, we went to see O in a performance of Julius Caesar at Kew Gardens. Look for that in a Part II. Since we're moving to Boston in a few months, these gatherings with my girlfriends are really important to me and I treasure them, as I do their friendships. I shall miss you guys immensely.
