Ringing in the new year with a new look!

After a 1-on-1 training session with the phenomenally talented photographer Jamie Delaine back in October, 2009, it became clear that my BRANDING needed some attention. That became the starting point of many new & fresh ideas for my business: both short and long term. This not only involved changes to my business but also to my life and personal goals. I felt so energized & refreshed and even though I knew many changes & hard work lay ahead, I saw it as an exciting adventure and I couldn’t wait to tackle my to-do list.

Top priorities were a brand new blog and a new website and I’m super excited to show you the final product. By using Showit +Sites I was able to design a website that is sleek, modern and fresh. Please be my GUEST: over your fav cup of steaming java, stay a while, browse my site, view my portfolio, see what rocks my world and the places I search for for needed inspiration, calmness & tranquility!

I’ve so much in store for you this year.  My dreams are HUGE, the bar is set high and I’m SO inspired to see what 2010 holds in store for me!

Feel free to leave some love & any comments!

Seasons Greetings & Happy New Year

2009 is drawing to a close and what a year it’s been! I’ve experienced many highs and exciting adventures. I know I’ve been blessed to count you among my clients. I know I’m priviledged to know you all and to have associated with you. So thank you to each of my clients and blog readers for an incredible 2009.

Mari & Mariano ~ Maternity Session

I simply adored these two. They are such a stunning couple and the beautiful connection they share with each other is so real and visible for all to see. Their maternity session was relaxed and natural, a photographers dream. They had such fun they barely required any direction, thus allowing me to capture some favourite images. As we headed out we brave a few raindrops. The rain has been threatening all day but luckily it held off and actually cleared a bit as we finished our session. Then we headed to a neighbourhood coffee shop, had some warm bevvies and finished the shoot in the comfort of their home. I’m so honoured to watch families grow so I can hardly wait to meet their sweet baby boy in January, 2010.
