It is a privilege and gift to have healthy, devoted grandparents in our lives and in the lives of our children.  This fall, the Howell family took me up on my offer to include Grandma and Grandpa in their fall family session, honouring two individuals who unconditionally support their children and grandchildren at home and at a distance.  The connections are real, the love, respect and admiration genuine.  Thank-you, Howell Family, for allowing me to capture one slice of the family pie that makes up your support network.  xox

Easton was just a newborn when I first photographed Lisa, Ken, Emilia and Easton.  Since then it has been a yearly tradition for us to get together in the fall to capture the changes and development in this little family.  The sessions keep getting funner, the images more amazing as Emilia and Easton play to me with their vibrant personalities and characters.  Thank-you, Lisa and Ken, for your continued trust in me to photograph your family.  It is an honour.  xox

This is what love looks like.  Family love, romantic love, love between friends - it doesn't take long to see that Melanie + Jacques are surrounded by it and supported by it.  So wonderful to see, feel and capture.  Look at the way they look at each other; look at the way they smile in each others' presence; look at the simultaneous expressions of joy reflected on the faces of their friends and family.  Every couple and family has its share of obstacles - Melanie and Jacques are no different - but what they have is a genuine affinity for each other, their kin and chosen friends that helps get them through.  Thank-you for sharing your special bonds with me, Melanie + Jacques and for trusting me to capture your connections.  I wish you much continued health and happiness in your years to come!  xox
