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.

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...

michele & miss n

We always chat about having sessions together with the kids...however it rarely happens. Truth is, when it does...its CHAOS! Michele & Miss N came over today for some girl time in front of and behind the camera. Now I know all you ladies are going to ask..."where did she get that shirt"? Oh yes, I am in line to get one as well...and when you find out where it was purchased, you are going to rush out and get one for every little girl you know [hint hint, I would like it in a 1 & 2 if you are asking...our store was all out]. Note that I am looking for blog love in order to find the store location. Shameless I know!

Of course we had fun, but man oh man...when little ones are involved, practically no light is available in the bedroom and you are attempting to hold a reflector with your toes...things become work in a hurry! By the time we were done, the bedroom looked as though a group of toddlers had been left to their own devices. hehe.

I have not had much of a chance to go through everything from the day...but at first glance I found some that are very much loved and couldnt help but share. Now dont be surprised if a few more surface over the next few days...

So here are my beautiful models for the day...

Be sure to head over to Michele's site and check out the Miss & I in front of the camera.








*note* the belly photo was edited by Michele. Loved her edit so much, I decided to use it!

michele belly :: part II

These photos were too much fun to edit. Having a fantastic model who knows exactly what to do [hehe] and put up with my silliness, sure didnt hurt. Thanks Michele for allowing to me do this for you. The only thing that would have made it better, would have been some warmth! Ah well, the things that are out of our hands.

Here are a few more favs. Now, lets get that little one her so that we can whip out all of our newborn ideas...

I dont know how in the world I am going to choose fav's?? I have resigned myself to the fact that I am going to be making another post...tomorrow that is. I just cannot help myself.

LOVING the photos against the rock wall...L O V E!

Now back to work...

michele belly :: sneak peek

Here's a little sneak from the session today with Michele and her PERFECT baby belly [love it]. So much more to come [I better get back to work].

Thanks for being such a trooper...although it was COLD...seriously C O L D. You were workin' it girl!

I cannot wait to meet this wee little one...

the "d" family

Well some of you may have figured out by now whose belly photo I shared yesterday. For those who didnt...

It is my good friend and fellow photographer Michele! I was able to grab a few belly shots while we were out for her family photos...and I love them. As for the family photos, talk about a challenge. I find it tough shooting when another photographer is in front of the camera...as I of course want to impress and be sure that I am seeing her vision as well. I am thrilled with the ones that I was able to get and hope that Michele is equally impressed...

Thanks all for trusting your family photos to me. I had a great time even with the lights struggles, a little girl who wanted her BP treats and goofy smiles (hehe). I know that I had the easy side as photographing my family of 6 will be the true challenge!

belly :: sneak peek

Oh how I love a baby belly. I adore this shot...the light, the colours, the beautiful little belly...

Will have more to share on this one, but for now I leave you with this...

(talk about a vague post...hehe)

perfectly pregnant.

Michele was kind enough to give me a call and ask me to come along for her most recent shoot. Since I have zero issues playing "donkey" I was happy to tag along and even able to get some fantastic shots! So thank you Michele.

As for our beautiful model. She is due in a few weeks and looks absolutely stunning. Talk about the perfect baby belly...what a beautiful mommy to be. Yes her belly is truly that perfect! Sigh. Okay, maybe I have a touch of envy...hehe. Thank you mom-to-be for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of your session. I had a wonderful time being a part of these moments before your latest addition arrives and of course capturing photos of your little girl Miss "A" (she is too cute for words). I cannot wait to hear all of the details on your new arrival...

a little bit of me

These days I am not doing much standing behind the camera. With a baby due in 3 weeks or less, I am not able to get up and down with too much ease and I just end up getting frustrated at not getting the angle I would want. So, other then family stuff...I am taking things easy.

I did however get in front of the camera the other day...Michele's camera that is. I am generally not a huge fan of being on the other side of the lens, but I knew that it would be well worth it...and was I ever right. Maybe I will be a little more willing to get on the other side now and then. I will need some new headshots when I have "downsized". hehe.

So here are a few...yup, I love them!
