CLIENT SHOOTS: A Beautiful Day With a Beautiful Family

I was so fortunate to have another session this past weekend. This one was in the Tottenham area and it was such a beautiful day.

Meet Tina and her beautiful family.

A little boy and his best friend. :)

Such a beautiful couple.

It was a gorgeous afternoon.

CLIENT SHOOTS: A Super Fun Family Session

After Addison's 9 month session, I did a bigger family session with her Mommy's side of the family. What a fun time that was! The family was so nice and all of the little kiddies, so cute!

Have a look for yourself.....

They were soooo much fun. Can't you tell?!

We took a few pictures at the house. Here are a couple of them.

Then we headed on down to the beach!!

I think this next one is one of my favourites.

Then, when we were done at the beach, we did a few more with the kids back at the house.

Thank you all for inviting me into your lives to photograph you. It was such a fun time and I hope you like your sneak peak.

Thanks for looking!

CLIENT SHOOTS: Addison Is Nine Months Old!

It's so hard to believe that little baby Addison is already 9 months old. It feels like I just did her newborn session.

This past weekend I had the fortune of photographing her again. It's so awesome to see how different she is each time I see her.

Here are some of the photos from her session.

It was great to do some of the family shots down by the beach this time. We snuck those in during the larger family session we did that same day with Kirsten's side of the family. Stay tuned for the blog post from that session.

Kirsten & Bannon, I hope you liked your sneak peak. Thank you once again for inviting me into your home to photograph you and your sweet little Addison.

Thanks for looking!

PERSONAL: Can you say "YUMMMMMM"?!

On September 8th I entered a giveaway that Fairytale Brownies was having on their Facebook Page. I know about Fairytale Brownies because when I worked at my Corporate job, one of our Sales Managers sent some of their brownies to our office at Christmas time. OMG, they were sooooo delicious.

The giveaway was for some of their new cookie flavours. I was one of the 5 people who won!! Woohoo!! And I TOTALLY forgot about it until today when UPS left a box at my door. It looked like this:

OK, so now I was excited because I had just gotten home from a client meeting and I realized that I was a bit hungry for a snack! ;) When I opened the box, there was even a note in it for me. :) What a nice touch.

And as I started unpacking the box, I felt something heavy and squishy wrapped inside some paper....what the heck?? OK, it was this!

This is the box that the actual cookies were in. Isn't it pretty? :) It was a slide off cover.

And once I slid that nice cover off and opened up the box.....I came to the tissue wrapping. OMG....the suspense was killing me by this point! LOL I think I might have been starting to salivate as well....

Really?! Would someone really go and stuff these things in the fridge for a month?! Or even worse.... the FREEZER for 6 months!!!! That just sounds a little crazy to me.... ;) Oh, alright...I suppose if you were ordering a bunch for the holidays or something..... :)

FINALLY! The cookies! And wow, I wasn't paying attention when I entered the giveaway, so I didn't realize that they would be sending me 16 cookies. YES, you heard me correctly.....SIXTEEN COOKIES! There were 4 of each flavour: Double Chocolate, Caramel Pecan, Peanut Butter and Toffee Chocolate Chip.

I said 'were' 4 of each flavour because I couldn't resist and I ate one.......

And I guess I'd better get tasting the other 3 flavours.

What?

You saw the note........ I have to let Alyssa and Hilary know which one is my favourite.....

;)

Thanks for looking.

*** UPDATE - September 19, 2011: OK, my favourite flavour is.....Caramel Pecan!! YUM! ***

PERSONAL: Ben's Back To School Photo Session

Wow! Back to school already. And it's already day 3 of school. Where did the summer go? How can it be the middle of September next week?!

We did Ben's annual back to school photo session on Tuesday while waiting for the bus. This year Maggie joined him. :)

Check out his new lunch box. It's HUGE! But with all of the containers, it's usually full too.

And here is his new backpack. :)

He has more freckles this year. And since his two front teeth have grown in but the two on either side of them haven't, he does this funny smile thing. ;)

My 'baby' starting Grade 3

And here he is with Maggie. She's a bit bored this week (Her sighs and groans are a bit louder outside my office door), but I think she might be enjoying the regular routine again...just a little bit.

I hope everyone had some fantastic holidays with their kids this summer and that everyone got off to school safe and sound.

Thanks for looking! :)
