Sweet Sisters – Toronto Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

From three to four, this family keeps getting cuter! It is amazing to watch a family grow, to see their love expand and to witness the little things that make up their happy family. From the sweet newborn scents mom cherishes, to the casual playtime on the patio between dad and their first born. These are the footprints of their life. Congrats Katie and Jesse, you’re such an amazing team and your girls are absolutely precious! xo

Kaleigh and Brandon {The Love} – Toronto Engagement Photographer

The goal was Cherry Blossoms in High Park but seeing as Spring decided to make a late arrival this year, we made do with what we had. The sun and light were enough to allow us to pretend it was warm. Kaleigh and Brandon were troopers even though I could see their fingertips turning blue near the end. These two were brought together by a game of Scrabble so it seemed appropriate to play a game at the park. The blue gingham will be seen at their Balls Falls Wedding, I can’t wait to see all the rustic elements come together in the barn.
Kaleigh and Brandon’s love filled my frame. They are fun, easy-going and obviously made for each other. See you in August!

Pizza in the Park – Waterloo Child Photographer

Em and I had the house to ourselves last night so we decided to take advantage of a little girl time. Only girls would bring a flower to their pizza picnic in the park. I’m in love with these images and even more excited about the time Em and I spent together. Pizza in the park was a great idea, inexpensive, easy and fun. I decided to treat Em to a little flower for our impromptu photoshoot, picked up from Charmed, being in her store just soothes me, not only are you surrounded by beautiful flowers but also her artistic creations. The pizza was delicious as well, our favourite Hawaiian from Gourmet Pizza.
Admittedly, I have not been good about posting on our 365 blog this year, though I’m doing my best to take a photo every day, it’s the editing and blogging that seems to be a challenge. Regardless, this is day 117 of 365. Enjoy and Happy Friday!

A Mother-Daughter Moment – Cambridge Family Photographer

Three beautiful and strong women got all dolled up for some photos. Shannon is a fellow photographer and knows how rare it is for grown families to get in front of the camera, yet still so important. Shannon has developed an amazing brand and business, I was lucky enough to try out her new studio for this session. She believes in finding ones true soul in her imagery and because of this Shannon has the ability to capture genuine, real and poignant elements in people.
It was an honour to capture some memorable moments for the three of you. Enjoy!

Shannon Nicholson - Alicia, THANK YOU! You’ve created beautiful images of my family and I, that we will enjoy for years to come! My Mom has been wanting to do this for 10 + years..so big thanks for making this wish come true!
