miss eve :: mini session

Of course I was not able to stay away for long! Mama & babe arrived home late Monday night and I was knocking on her door by Tuesday afternoon [with permission of course].

Since I will be out of town for a few days, I wanted to be sure to capture a few more of those itty bitty moments. So happy that I did. This girl is just precious and has the most adorable little expressions...melts my heart. A full shoot will be done sometime this weekend, and I can hardly wait.

Here are a few fav's from the day. I just cannot seem to decide on the first, colour or b&w...

Will be posting more upon my return. Enjoy the rest of your week...I am off for a little R & R.

miss eve.

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful little lady only minutes after she arrived into the world. My wonderful friend Michele along with her family welcomed the adorable miss Eve yesterday at 3:40pm and I must say she is every bit of perfect!

I arrived to a serene room with soothing music, dim lights and a glowing mama holding her precious daughter. It was peaceful, and a moment that I will always hold dear. I was flooded with emotion and could not hold back the tears, so I didnt. Apparently I also proceeded to ask the weight of miss Eve...three times. I was just so overcome with the beauty of this much anticipated new life that I paid no mind to the answer...which by the way was 8lbs 1oz.

Michele, thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a special moment in your life. I look forward to being a part of many more to come and feel so very fortunate to have you as a friend.

Of course, what would this sappy post be without photos. The moment seemed best suited by black & whites...however I did tack on a colour photo to show off that beautiful blonde hair!

**still working out some kinks with the link change...if you click a photo you will be sent back to the main page after. so maybe pass on clicking at this point.**

becoming a flasher.

No not like that!

I love natural light, its my fav. Although, I am biased as I really do not know much about flash of any sort. Totally wanting to learn though! So this weekend I decided to pull out my new flash, close the bedroom blinds and see what I could figure out. I am one of those "hands on" learners. However, I would love a teacher!

Far from knowing exactly what I am doing...but everyone starts somewhere! Any flash pro's that would like to share tips, I am all ears. I sure these are far from technically correct, I can of course see things "wrong"...but all things considered I am pretty happy with my second try.

Of course, my usual model was used. hehe.




just in case they are looking for a baby model!

isla at 8 months.

Its been a long winter and one which has kept me inside working on working without doing much work. Make sense?

Fortunately, I have an in house model who has only recently begun to protest. At least I got a good 8 months out of her! Now that she is moving at rapid speeds across my living room and chewing on anything and everything she can get her wee hands on, things have proven to be a little more difficult. Ah well, its a good thing she is so darn cute. And although I am sure some of you may be sick of my "miss miss" photos by now...she is a huge part of who I am and in turn frequents my blog.

A few late 8 month photos to show off those teeth and new moves...

the teeth [taken with my new flash...learning curve]

the chubba lubba

the tiger that her brother loves. wait til he sees this! i adore how she is roaring right along with him.

business.

I have spent much of my winter free time trying to get my business ideas in order. So much in my head and not enough paper in the house to get it all down! Things are far from where I have envisioned them, but slowly getting there...

I am again working on branding. Logo, web design etc. and quickly learning how little I know about computers. HTML is no longer my friend! As for a logo, I have a vision in my head...however getting it created seems to be an entirely different story. Who knew it would all be so complex. Okay, I did. But that is beside the point. hehe.

In the meantime, I gave my header a little face lift. Thanks to Michele for the photo...love it. Michele is due to have her baby February 14th, but I am thinking positive thoughts and hoping the wee one will make an appearance promptly! Cannot wait!

On another note. Weddings. I am taking only a select few this year. So if you are thinking about making a booking, please contact me as soon as you have a free moment. I only have a few spots left!

**a post without a photo...I know, I know. I will make it up to you!**
