Another holiday mini set has come and gone. Easter minis were amazing this year! I had bunnies in the studio again. Caramel and Hopscotch were happy to play props for the occasion and were probably some of the best bunnies I have ever had in the studio. This was my fourth time using bunnies. (I had chick last year but Easter has to fall on a certain time for that work due to the time chickies are born.) I had 80+ families visit the studio for their sessions. We also had an amazing turn out for donations for Project share, which is no surprise to me. I have amazing clients who love to donate. And Project share is also so happy when I call them. Thank you again to everyone who came to visit the bunnies and thank you to those who donated. The next donation time will be November and December for Christmas. There were a lot of people who were inquiring after the sessions were done. So you don't miss out on any of the sessions and specials I offer, sign up for my newsletter. It g...

When it comes to weddings I am sure you have heard of the term 'going unplugged'. What does that mean and what does that include? In a day and age where technology is so prevalent in our lives, sometimes it kind of takes over and becomes a distraction and problem. There are some couples who invite their guest to snap as many photos as they’d like with their own cameras and phones. However, more and more couples have started asking their guest to turn off their device and be in the present with them. There are actually many benefits to put away cameras and cell phones, especially during the ceremony. For one, weddings are a sacred event and deserve respect. Your guest should be enjoying the celebration first hand, not off a small glowing screen. If your guests are more concerned with capturing a picture for Facebook or Instagram, then they are about the actual event, it shows in your photographs. Instead of smiling faces as you walk down the isle or the moment you are exch...

Well it's that holiday time of year. And I'm sure your schedule is full of events, dinners, get togethers, activities and so much more.  So that means there is are lots of opportunities to bust out the camera! So how do you make the most out of your holiday memories and images. Here are some amazing tips to help you and your camera get through the holidays. 1) Be prepared! There is hustle and bustle happening that a photo op could present itself at any moment! If you're not ready, that moment will be gone and over before you know it! It is best to be prepared with your camera. And I am talking about going beyond having your camera on hand. Make sure it is charged and ready to go for the next day. Charge it over night. Make sure you have extra batteries. Your memory card is empty for new images and your settings are prompted. 2) Get down to their level. When photographing kids especially, get right down to their level. Your go to is probably to snap a picture from ...

I have been ready for my Christmas Mini session since July! I guess you could say I am pretty excited them! And they are just about to happen! Starting this Friday my studio will be ordering these quick and adorable sessions. Like past years  I will have two sets. I tried to stick to similar ideas and colours so it would be easy to plan outfits for those parents who would like to use both sets. One is a bit more traditional with the Christmas wreaths and bulbs. I will be adding a few small trees to this set as well. The second one has teddy bears. You are more then welcome to bring your childs stuff animal along with you. It is a great idea for children who might be a little shy and uneasy around new people and in strange places as it gives them something else to focus on. Also similar to past years, I am holding a food drive for project share and offering discounts to those who come in with donations. Last year we filled just over two bins, the year before that just shy two bi...

One of the amazing things about my job is how I get to watch families grow and evolve. At lot of clients start out as wedding clients, or maternity clients and become newborn clients. They visit the studio for the mini sessions during major holidays and milestones. It's so much fun to watch the kiddos grow and learn. And it truly makes my clients feel like family to me. I knew Sarah since high school. I meet her son Wyatt late last year for some newborn photos. Since then Sarah has brought Wyatt in for every mini session the studio has offered. From Christmas and Easter to the watermelon summer sessions, Sarah and Wyatt have been there. I have been able to watch him start to it up and then walk. So needless to say I was thrilled when Sarah booked Wyatt's first birthday cake smash session with me. Now since I've known her Sarah has been a lover of all things Disney, especially Mickey Mouse. I was anything surprised when she picked a Mickey theme cake smash. Banner was mad...
