One of things I most look forward to in the new year is my first round of mini sessions. While I do these often throughout the years, noting major holidays and the like, the Easter sessions with the bunnies are without a doubt my favourite. The kids come in, all dressed up in the most adorable outfits! Their reactions to the bunnies are absolutely priceless and the bunnies themselves... need I say more? The combination is just an overload of cuteness. I often like to create my own backdrops, adding to a little uniqueness to each round of minis. This year I went with a chalk board drawing. I created a drawing with a blossoming tree and a colourful banner in the corners, Sporting tulips and dasiey's dotted the bottom between a bunny and some bright Easter eggs and wooden creates as the setting area. One of the things I look forward to most around Easter is all the yummy food, and of course those savory left overs! Sadly there are some people who are not as fortunate to enjoy thes...

Kristin's mom and my aunt have been friends for as long as I can remember. That means that Kristin and I often had play dates at birthday parties and backyard get-togethers. Later in life, we went to high school together. Needless to say Kristin has been a part of my life for a long time. So I was absolutely over the moon when she asked me to do a newborn session with her new baby. Baby Bryce arrival came late January and he was bundle of joy and a very welcome addition to the Mudford family. Kristin and her mom met me at the studio. Grandma was just over come with pride as she watched the session. During which little Bryce peed everywhere! Things like that are bound to happen when the diaper comes off! I adore how personal these sessions become. I always combine baby images with mommy and other family. It kicks the emotion behind the images up a whole other notch! This is a beautiful, emotional filled time, so why not capture it in all of it's glory! And baby always seems t...

I love weddings! So I was super excited to start my weddings early this year with a winter wedding last month. Sandy and Shane got married on a mild day in January with the stunning Vintage hotels. The day started with Sandy and her female friends and family members preparing for the big moment in their hotel room at the Pillar and Post. During this time it was important to Sandy that I captured some sentimental images of her and her niece, as they shared several different  pastimes and inside jokes together. I adore how close this family is. Prior to the wedding Sandy and Shane wanted to do a first look. As their schedule was tight and with the rapidly setting sun this time of year, first looks are a perfect opportunity to capture some intimate images of the bride and groom together and these sessions are always packed with emotions, making for some awesome images. Their ceremony took place at The Prince of Wales Hotel where they left with a magical sparkler send of...

Hiring a wedding photographer that is right for you is such an important task for engaged couples. Not only is this person responsible for capturing one of the most important milestones of your life, the highlight events, the romantic moments, behind the sense and all the emotions. But this person is also going to spend more time with you during this day then most of your guests! "Do you have my date free?" "Can I see your gallery?" There are some questions that are pretty obvious to ask your photographer; pricing, cancelation policies, what is included in packages. What other things should you be asking your photographer? Here is a nice list of other important matters you may want to discuss with a photographer before you hire them.   1) How would you describe your wedding style? This answer will vary from photographer to photographer as each has created styles and techniques that best suits their business and their clients needs. As for myself, I would sa...
