It's Miller Time!

It's not very often I get asked to photograph animals, but in the very rare occasion I do, it's probably some of the most fun I have.

But today was extra special. Just a couple of days ago Brittany, Dave and Brittany welcomed a new addition to their family.....Miller, an English Bulldog.

He is seriously cute. I mean SERIOUSLY cute! And so chill too. I own a Jack Russell, so you can understand how different it was for me to see this calm little guy.

Enjoy some of the photos we took of little Miller.,....and I dare you not to say "awe...." Did I mention he is seriously cute?

The GORGEOUS Krystie

The first time I met Krystie she knocked me out. She towered over me. She was flawless with big beautiful eyes and amazing, thick black hair. She's a stunner.

And it seems the modelling industry had that same reaction. Krystie is not only a very talented make-up artist with her own very successful business http://krystieann.com/ but she is now a plus sized model (which amazes me, because she doesn't look plus sized to me!).

Krystie and I went around downtown Barrie snapping photo after photo. We even went splashing around in the fountain at City Hall (don't tell the Mayor!) She's a pro! After every click, she gave me something new. It was so much fun to shoot something different.

Krystie, I know you're going to rock the modelling world and I can't wait to see you on the catwalk!!!

Karen and Jason are married!!!

Wedding days are my absolute favourite. Karen and Jason's wedding is a prime example of why I love them so much. It's because you can feel the love, the excitement and the amazing energy.

Karen was radiant on her wedding day. Having fun with her bridesmaids and goofing around with me as I took her photos. She was so excited to be getting married to the love of her life.

Jason, on the other hand, was so nervous! He is the quiet one in the couple, and Karen is the one that can bring him out.

As Karen walked down the aisle on her father's arm, Jason started to tear up, that made Karen cry. You could feel the passion in that little room. When Jason finally had Karen, you could see he felt complete.

I loved their wedding. I loved their chemistry. I love this couple.

Enjoy some photos from their wine-inspired wedding at the Gibson Centre in Alliston. Another place on my "Love it" list.

Ashley Looking Sexy!

This is an idea I really hope catches on. It's brilliant, if you ask me.

My Bride Ashley is marrying her mechanic fiancee in October, and what better gift to give a mechanic than a sexy calendar. So, Ashley thought she should be the calendar hanging in his shop! Love it! The night before their wedding Shawn will open this sweet present!

So, we spent the day with the amazing Krystie Ann http://krystieann.com who did her hair and make-up and did some really cool, sexy shots around my house. I couldn't believe how quiet Ashley turned into Sex Kitten Ashley. It made for a really fun day with my head spinning with creative ideas.

Enjoy these shots of Ashley.....and please don't tell Shawn!

The Bride and Me

I just finished editing the photos from Karen and Jason's amazing Gibson Centre wedding and I came across a photo I completely forgot about! I had to share it becuase I love that the Matron of Honour asked if she could take a photo of me and the Bride.

Karen is one of those Brides....no, one of those people, you instantly like. She's fun and bubbly....my kind of girl. And she was radiant with love, beauty and fun and happiness on her wedding day.

So, before I post photos from her wedding, here's one me and the gorgeous bride.

John Linkert Salon

I've raved about John Linkert for years....to everyone! Literally! John is one of the most talented hairstylists/make-up artists out there and I was so happy when he took the leap and went out on his own.

John is in the process of launching his new website johnlinkert.com. When it's up and running I'll make sure I post a link to his site. You HAVE to see his work...and better yet, experience it yourself. He is seriously a genius.

Ok, enough gushing for now. Here are some shots I took a few weeks ago of Jennifer and Courtney that John will be using on his site. I'm totally loving the wild curls!

PS.....I should also give a shout out to Jacinthe Pilon for designing my amazing new watermark and logo. LOVING IT!

Melanie + Dale = Baby!

There is nothing more exciting than waiting for your baby to arrive. There's the anxiety, the thrill, the wonder of the unknown.

And then there is your body that suddenly belongs to someone else. While Melanie may have a little person growing in her belly....she is certainly blessed with still being beautiful while being pregnant ( a luxury I definitely didn't have).

Melanie and Dale met me one foggy morning at Wasaga Beach to show off her gorgeous baby bump in the sand and the water. Melanie had absolutely no hestitations and even took her top off for a beautiful photo in the water. I loved it! Be proud of what your body is doing!

Melanie and Dale are expecting their first bundle of joy in August and have left the gender as a surprise. I can't wait to meet this little person!

Guys, you are going to love every moment of being parents. Even the puking and getting peed on isn't so bad!
