Alexander Despatie

We were so excited to meet the wonderful diving champion Alexander Despatie. He was so kind and gracious and such a great young man. A wonderful athlete as well and does his country proud. He won silver in the 2008 Beijing olympics for the 3m springboard. I was so proud that my son had the opportunity to meet this young man, and I think he'll be an inspiration to my son as well as many canadian children. WTG Alexander, we are all proud of you!

Tina & Andrew's wedding

This was a day that family and friends waited for a long time, and we all couldn't be more thrilled that our wonderful friend Tina met a wonderful man and they decided to get married. It was definitely a party, and the love in the room was felt with great intensity. I was honoured to be there and a part of their special day. Here's just a few shots I captured from their day.












The engagement shot I did for them is in the middle and I custom made their guest book for them.

Summer's End

It's been a very busy summer, and I want to thank you all for making this summer the busiest yet. I'm working feverishly on all recent sessions, Gina, Louise, Rina, Tina, Helen, Amy, Jenn, so all of you should be getting your online albums, or prints soon.

Wanted to announce that prices are going up in September, and I appreciate all the support I've been given and encouragement I've received about raising my prices. Prices will still be very reasonable but I need to increase them a bit to cover all the extra expenses that go with being a photographer. So please hurry and book your session now, September is booking up fast, still a few spots left for October and if you are thinking of Christmas pictures NOW is the time to book, as all orders must be in by November 1st to get them in time for Christmas. Also keep in mind that Christmas is a busy time and timelines for editing will be extended. I usually take 2-3 weeks to edit a session and closer to Christmas, that will become 4-5 weeks. So book your session NOW!

Can't believe the summer is almost over, but every year I look forward to one family activity as summer comes to an end. I'm talking about the CNE, or the Ex, as most of us call it. We went the first day it was open, it rained a bit, but all in all it was a wonderful day filled with fun and laughter and tons of food.

I need to give a couple of shout outs to my favourite spots at the CNE. While there and in the food court, because we ALL go to the food court, you must drop by and get some FUDGE from "Ye Olde Fudge Pot" near the entrance/exit to the sports arena. The yummiest fudge and I love their candy apples as well, pick up a slab or two and eat it slowly like I do, savouring each and every bite, or gobble it down right away, its up to you,lol.

My absolute favourite spot to shop at is the awesome and oh so talented Daniel Pollak booth in the Art's and crafts building. OMGosh, if you have not seen this man's work, you are missing out on exquisite and to die for jewellery. From gorgeous broaches, to fabulous hair clips and dazzling earrings and sexy chokers and bracelets, everything a girl could ask for is in this booth. I've told Danny many times, he needs a store and although he also has a booth at the one of a kind art show (Nov. 27-Dec. 7) as well, I always wait til the CNE to go get a fabulous little piece of art for myself. It's actually a birthday present from my hubby as my bday is around the corner. This year, I was immediately blown away by this sparkly and dangly hair clip that was calling out my name,lol. I looked over at hubby with loving eyes and before I knew it he was buying it for me, WOO HOO! It's yet another stunning addition to my collection from Daniel, I love this man and his talent. I will be taking pics of my beautiful hair clip and broach that hubby bought me from there last year. If you go, make sure you say hello from me and tell them that I sent ya.

Rina & her Boys

Met up with 3 beautiful boys and their beautiful mother, they drove all the way from Hamilton and all of them have gorgeous red hair and the boys are so cute and adorable. They were all loving and sweet and a bit wild and crazy too. We had alot of fun, and I had a wonderful time with all of them. Here is a sneak peak from our day at the beach.


Zane the oldest


Bram the 2nd oldest


The youngest - Jack








They all started climbing the gate and I took the shot and mom thought it would be cute do try to add some devilish wings and such, and I did, and think this turned out so cute.

Beautiful & Pregnant

Meet Louise and her beautiful belly. Met this stunning pregnant lady at the crack of dawn and was taken back by her beauty and petiteness (is that a word?). Such a tiny thing and the camera loved her as you will see below. It was definitely one of my most memorable and most beautiful sessions, and I so look forward to taking pics of her little girl (Zoe) when she makes her appearance in the end of Oct.
