Family Beach Session|| Leamington and area natural light photographer

Impromptu Beach photo sessions are the BEST!







Lately I find myself headed down to the beach, either alone or with clients or my family, and the sunsets never disappoint.  I can't wait to show mom the whole set of images we got last night, nor can I wait to see them made into canvas gallery wraps and hung on her walls!

Beautiful, beautiful family.



Thanks Tiessens for the opportunity to work with you once again!








































 Thank you for stopping in!

Total Recall | Pelee Island Women's Retreat 2011

A quick visit to the web page and you will see just what drew dozens of us to the island for Total Recall.

With a theme like courage, how can you go wrong?  We all came with open hearts and open minds hoping to learn new things, meet new people and to grow.  We had the opportunity to eat fantastic food, to try out holistic healing modalities, and dig deep into our intuition.


This is the first 'event' that I was privileged to cover with my camera in hand.  There were other women there sharing their gifts with us so freely, in a way that only kindred spirits can.  If you were there and would like to add links to your web pages and blogs, please do so!  Add them to the comment section, or send me a note and I will add them to this post.

Here are just a few of the images I was able to capture throughout the weekend.

Thank you to Ann Marie Fortner of Explore Pelee for all of her hard work and dedication in organizing this wonderful event.  As well, as a huge thank you to the founding mothers who had a vision and created Total Recall nine years ago!

Playing with the Light

Just a little reminder that MOST of the images from this blog were accidently deleted recently.  I am looking at the beginning of the school year as the first time I will have to address this!  With four kids around the house, I am bound to moving forward right now - current client edits, photo sessions etc.  Once I have a few extra moments, I will head backwards and re-post the lovely images of past clients and events!  Thank you for understanding!!


This evening I HAD to get outside with my camera.  I realized that most of my camera wielding lately had to do with work.  Although there is absolutely no complaining on my part about that - I do need to fill up my 'completely for me creative tank' every now and again.


The light was golden/orange and was just setting in the evening sky when I ran home, gathered my camera and lenses and ran out the door with M.  She's such a good sport!  Especially when we label it 'girl's night out' which almost definitely includes a stop somewhere fun after we're done. 


Tonight was no exception!  We went down to Burgesses, the local ice cream joint, and had a little treat!  Super cool?  Yes!  Because I found a five dollar bill at my feet, and used that to pay for our cones!  Awesome, eh?


I'm a chatter box tonight.  Whoa!  Time to post the results of our Light Catching Adventure;












Thanks so much for stopping in!  Be sure to find me on FACEBOOK  and over at the WEB PAGE !

Tiny Light Video

This video was created using the special Tiny Light song by Cory Woodard

Please watch the video HERE

For some reason, vimeo was all out of whack this morning, and I was unable to load it up there.

The Tiny Light Foundation is something that I am very pleased to be a part of.  The Wallace Family was my first Tiny Light family, and we couldn't have been a better fit.  The kids were adorable, and mom and dad were so loving.

Thank you for allowing me to spend time with you! I'm generally not the mushy type, but you really touched my heart.  I really believe your girls are very special little people.

Lessons Learned || Leamington and Surrounding Area Natural Light Photographer

I was trying to be efficient and organized and accidentally deleted ALL of the images on this blog.  Hy head hurts thinking about all of the time it will take to get it all put back together.  It's busy time around these parts, with my 4 kids home for the summer, and many sessions and other activities planned over the next while.  Please, check back every so often to see what's being showcased!

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a couple who are very much in love.  In fact, they have been in love for a very long time!  Decades.


I watched giggling and hand holding and cheek kissing...did my cynical heart good!  

Here's a couple of images from our time together.  You can also see a feature gallery over at Ginger Snaps!   if you can't get enough here.  ;)

Thanks for your patience!
