lindsay :: unborn

Thanks again to Lindsay of Heiress Salon & Boutique for being such an amazing model. You are always a pleasure to photograph. Even with a belly, you are up for anything. I just have to love that!

I was set to go solo on this shoot as Michele was out of town and sent it my way. Luckily she made it back and we were able to work together (which I love). Miss Eve tagged along in her stroller and that girl is officially a photographers daughter. She slept almost the entire time!

On a side note...I wish I was half this stylish when not pregnant. ha.

Now of course, the goods.

lindsay :: unborn peek

It must be said, I absolutely LOVE photographing this woman! Beyond the amazing outfits and fantastic style...her personality makes her a total joy to work with. Whats not to love?

Thank you Lindsay for being such a trooper and putting up with all of our wild ideas. Michele and I had too much fun!

Hoping that tonight was the night and sending you good labor and delivery vibes. I cannot wait to meet the wee one!

Heres a little peek...

does the time go faster as we get older?

At least that is what it feels like. I can remember as a child thinking that the years of school would NEVER end. The days seemed to last forever and every birthday seemed to have an eternity in between.

Flash forward to having my own kiddies and it seems the days are never long enough and the birthdays of course come far too quickly. Although, I am sure that my kids feel the way I did as a child and they can hardly wait to grow up!

This post is to make note of how big our baby girl is getting. It seems as if I closed my eyes for a moment and poof...she turned 10 months!? Sigh.

This Friday our sweet miss Isla will be only 2 months shy of her first birthday. I am of course loving every second...the way she now claps when we say "hooray", her first real sounds of "ba ba ba", how her tiny tongue pops out of her mouth on command and of course how she fake coughs after mama.

I just find it hard to believe that she is growing so quickly and knowing that she is our last is making it the tiniest bit sad...

Someone please give me a newborn to photograph! hehe.

all about the logo.

If the experience of creating a logo has taught me anything...it may just be that I am really not as desisive as I had originally thought! I had a vision in my mind, but really had no idea how to put it to paper and have it express who I am not only as a photographer but as a person. I will never again under estimate the work that goes into something such as a logo. I will also never again hesitate to hire someone who is able to handle all my craziness.

A big thanks to Lindsay Perry of Perrywinkle Design. Not only was she able to put together my amazing logo, she was also able to put up with all of my insanity. She continued to push forward until I was 100% happy and "in love" with the end result. Thank you so much Lindsay, I look forward to a continuing friendship and possibly a little letterpress! A girl can hope cant she? hehe.

I see big things with my new look. I have already been working on colour variations for my business cards and can hardly wait to get something in print...I think I am going to get all of these! I just cannot help myself...

nearly three.

I have no idea how I got here? The mother of a near three year old boy. I can say one thing for sure...those years when by in a blink. Sigh.

This face is now a rare occurrence on my blog...not because I want it to be, simply because he has it out for my camera and trickery. hehe. I felt it was time to give him a little blog love so that he does not one day look at my work and wonder where he went! Does he look like a big boy or what...

my big girl.

Its not that I dont try to get photos of the older kiddies...they are just far less willing participants in my photo set ups! Do this, do that, turn your head, move into the light...I am sure they are thinking "is she ever NOT bossy?" ha.

The girls of this house are always my most willing by far. Of course, I am excited for the weather to change so that we can get back outside and into fun outfits, cherry blossoms and open fields. Spring cannot get here fast enough!

In the meantime, I was able to wrangle this one in for a mini shoot to show off her new cut. We are totally loving the shorter hair! Although...it sure does make her look so much more grown up...sigh...

how time flies.

Having little miss Eve in front of my camera has brought back so many memories...

It seems as though our sweet miss miss just arrived into the world...but truly we are closer to celebrating her 1st birthday than we are to welcoming her. Already moments are becoming a blur and it makes me realize how much I need to appreciate every little thing she does.

Okay...maybe not the screaming. But that is rare! Oh and whom am I kidding, I even love that little screech. Her personality is starting to show and I just adore it. She just melts my heart over and over again...maybe its something about knowing that this is our last...



I am sure many of you are wondering what has happened to my other children...ha. They are here, just far less camera friendly! I will have some of the others to share very soon!

miss eve :: session

I dont even know if I can call this "the session" as we are already chatting about other ideas for photos. Sometimes I just cannot help myself! Eve was the perfect sleeping beauty and seriously did not fuss the entire time. She let us completely maul her, switch hats, wrap her and unwrap her with no real fuss. Yup, the perfect squishy little miss...

Here are a few fav's from the day. Of course mommy Michele will be posting a few of her own. Can you believe she already has her camera back in her hands? Amazing!

I am totally loving these...talk about giving a girl baby fever. hehe.
