Super Speeder...well some day soon....maybe

I knew the day would come. I was in denial when it first arrived. And now? It consumes him. ;)


That would be the brand new corvette motor that my husband finally got. 


Nearly three years ago he...lets say "injured"...the motor in his 2002 Z06 Corvette and has been dreaming of doing a rebuild ever since. Well, this March his dream came true when his brand new motor arrived all the way from Texas. 


Almost every night now, he is in the garage tinkering away. I figured he should have a few memories of this 'adventure' so I ventured in the garage one night and snapped a few pictures.

Spring Promotion 2011

Yay spring is here!! Well at least according to the calendar it is ;)

Spring is all about fresh, new beginnings and nothing is more 'new and fresh' than an adorable, wrinkly newborn. 

The session includes 1-2 hours of shooting time, a proof disc of all edited photos (these are copyrighted and not of printable quality) as well as 10 edited high resolution digital images of your choice (these are copyright free and of printable quality). This is a $275 value all for only $125plus GST.

Newborn sessions are best done within the first 10 days - 2 weeks of birth. I use natural light in a comfortable and warm environment for my newborn sessions. This session can be done in my studio or in the comfort of your own home. 

Please contact me for more information and available dates.

Yay for nice weather!

It's FINALLY getting a bit nicer out, so we decided to play a little in the fresh air before supper tonight...

Pink and Loving it!

This weekend I got to do another first birthday/smash the cake session of an adorable little girl! It was great! I don't get to do too many 'girly' sessions so I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Here are a few of the MANY pictures I took....

Smiles, Bubbles and Cake!

Well it wouldn't have been a birthday without cake...and boy did he enjoy it!!! Left quite the mess for us to clean up afterwards.....

Noah got a lot of gifts for his first birthday and one of them was this bath time bubble toy that made his birthday bath a really fun one!

Smashing Good Time

Noah will be a year old on Saturday!! Here are some pictures from the 'smash the cake' session that I did with him last month for his birthday invitations.

Sick...but cozy!

This weekend Noah was sick...so we let him cuddle his blankie during snack time! Whatever makes him happy ;)

Boudoir Beauty

Dealing With It

   Yes I am a photographer, and although its my passion, it's not my full time job. For the past year I have been on maternity leave from my full time job where I work in an administrative position.  I start back next Monday.

   I do like my job ....BUT I love being home with my son more and I don't think there is anything wrong with admitting that. There are many reasons why I can't be a full time stay at home mom...I think that these days it is really hard for any woman to be able to do that (mostly for financial reasons).

  Its hard, I won't lie. I feel completely beat up inside. I KNOW he will love playing with the other kids and I KNOW that our daycare is a wonderful place (we were so lucky to get in with her) and I KNOW that eventually my feelings will fade, but for now? I am a mess...a complete emotional mess. Its really hard to actually describe how I feel...best I can say is I feel like someone is stealing something from me. When I think about leaving him for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week I get this lump in my throat and I feel like someone knocked the wind out of me and it is so incredibly hard to breathe.

  I have 4 more full days with Noah before I start working again. 4 days. Thats it.

  I make it sound like I will never see him again, and I know thats not the case, but it feels like it a little.
I will work from 8 to 5 and then pick him up and come home and make supper and then bath him and then its pretty much time for him to go to bed...so where is the play time? The cuddles? The fun that we have everyday? THAT'S whats being taken away and that's why I am so upset. I realize he will get playtime at daycare and probably cuddles too...but I don't. I don't get to make him laugh all day, and soothe him when he falls or be there when he wants a hug...I get to sit at a desk in an office somewhere while the babysitter is there for him. And yes, I know i get the weekends with him....but its not the same and I can't pretend that it is.

  I know I sound like a crazy mom but what can I say? I am. I am a crazy mom who is crazy in love with her wonderful and amazing little boy and for that I won't apologize.

  So this is me 'dealing with it'.

  I only hope that this all starts to feel a little easier as I start back to work. It will be a process....probably a long one....so to those who are in my life day to day please be patient with me, that's all I ask.



Remember to LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. and CAPTURE everything in this life. It's the only one we get.
