Merry Christmas!

Christmas is my favourite of all the holidays. I love the anticipation, the twinkling lights, the timeless carols, turkey dinners and visits from family... all of it. The best part of it all though is teaching my kids the true reason for our celebration. The birth of a small baby that would change the world forever. "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord". Luke 2:11

My sister found a great sale at Walmart last week... Pampers diapers were half price! She bought some for herself but wanted to share this news of the sale with all the other moms she knew. She made it her status on facebook, allowing the rest of us to benefit from this knowledge. Just like any good news, people want to share it! Knowing Jesus has changed my life. I want to share the news!

I realized my need for a Saviour as a child. "I couldn't understand myself, for I wanted to do what was right, but I didn’t do it. Instead, I did what I hated." (Romans 7:14- New Living Translation). I was at a music event when the speaker gave a message about Jesus that touched my heart and I had the answer that I was looking for. I gave my heart to Jesus that day and have never turned from Him since. Life has had it's ups and it's downs but I now have a solid rock on which I can stand. Can't imagine going through life without HIM!

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends".
John 15:13



Wishing everyone a very, Merry Christmas!

11 months!

My little girl is already 11 months old... her first birthday is just around the corner! When you've got a big brother, you find yourself in situations like this:

It's funny, he pushes her around in the truck and then he forgets about her, leaving her stuck like this. The funny part is that she likes it, I find her quite often like this:)

More cousins... more babies!!

My little cousin Chantal and her hubby Josh just had their first baby! I was thrilled to photograph the new baby boy: Cashton... what a cool name, eh? What a gorgeous boy...






Congrats Chantal and Josh!

Baby Brennan

My cousin Dan and his wife Mel recently welcomed their first child into their family. Brennan is such a cute baby! I just love newborns. I wish they'd stay that way for a whole year before they start getting bigger! I love everything about them... quiet little cries, floppy bodies, cross-eyed faces, sleeping the day away... so cute.



Congratulations guys... he's a beautiful little miracle!

Fess Family

It's been so much fun doing some portraits outdoors this winter! Not too many people want to brave the cold weather but the results are so pretty when they do! I just loved these little sisters in their cute hats... so sweet!

Maeve is ONE!!!

Got to meet these A.DOR.A.BLE girlies yesterday! The baby recently had her first birthday and I was asked to take pictures of her at this adorable stage in her life! The session took place in the Perch Gallery in Port Dover... a very cool place with lots of amazing art for sale.
