I had the privilege of shooting photos for the extended Walker Family earlier this month, what a day that turned out to be! We had very little time together before it started to POUR and then thunder and lightening - crazy weather!

But we managed to capture some lovely shots, and made the best of our time together!

Enjoy Walker Family!

This little guy didn't seem to mind! It was so neat to see the love all the cousins had for baby Zachary, awesome!

I had the pleasure of photographing my sister and brother-in-law and their two boys this past weekend. We headed to Cherry Hill Gate for a nature walk!

For some reason I can't stop my obsession with black and white photographs! Thanks for letting me tag along with you guys, the lizard kisses, squirrels and muskrat were the highlight of my day!

Rebecca and Nathan - November 6, 2010

2010-11-10T14:59:00.003-05:00

The day finally came! So much planning and attention to detail paid off, it was the wedding of Rebecca's dreams! The last of the Schuurman girls is now finally married, and we couldn't be happier for her and her new hubby!

Many thanks to Eleni for choreographing a beautiful first dance complete with lifts and twirls!

Rebecca and her dad, such a beautiful smile!

I loved all the attention to detail. All the bridesmaids were wearing bird cage veils and pearls, so elegant!

Jon, Candace and Clara.

Thanks Allison for taking the photo, it's very special!

This session almost didn't happen! But thanks to my fabulous sister who became my voice, we managed to get out to shoot this adorable family at their home.

We wandered all around their gorgeous property looking for the perfect spot.

Beautiful Kate.

Leo and Ang, thanks for letting me capture your family! More to come soon!

Meet Lily and her beautiful family who travelled from all over to be together for these photos!

I met Kerri before these little munchkins came into the picture, back then it was just Kerri and Adam! Boy, things have sure changed since 2003! Since then, they have been blessed with 4 rambunctious boys, who do their best to keep them on their toes ;)

Meet Tyler Jonathan, their newest bundle of joy!

Kerri really wanted to get some shots of all the boys, doing what boys do best...

These guys made me work for those smiles, but it was so worth it!

Kerri, I hope you enjoy this little peak at your photos, more to come soon! It was so much fun running around with your boys, hot, but fun!

Beautiful Clara - 3 weeks

Rebecca is the last remaining "Schuurman girl" and she is also my cousin! I was privileged to take hers and Nate's engagement photos this morning. After some initial panic over the weather, the day turned out quite nicely!

They are two of the cutest people I know, and they didn't mind letting loose for the camera!

Becca and Nate, I can not wait for your wedding in November! Have fun planning, your special day will be here before you know it!

2010-06-05T15:55:00.002-04:00

Sue and Bryant were wed on May 15, 2010, a beautiful day for a wedding! I met the bride at her house before the wedding.

Even Tommy, her little dog got into the wedding spirit!

The priest knew how to lighten the mood!

Flower girl and ring bearer.

Sue & Bryant, enjoy your new life together. It was an honour to photograph your engagement and your wedding! Hopefully you haven't eaten too much KFC ;)

I'm an AUNT!

2010-06-01T22:36:00.001-04:00

Baby Clara entered the world at 5 am today, entrusted to my sister and her husband! She is absolutely perfect and such a blessing to her parents!

My dad holding his grand-daughter for the first time!

For Nana it was love at first sight!

I didn't have a chance to hold her yet, but my time will come. For now, I am content to be behind my camera (you can expect many more photos to come)!

Congratulations Candace and Jon, God has richly blessed your family of three!

My favs so far...

Hamilton Maternity Photography - Candace

2010-05-08T08:55:00.000-04:00

My sister Candace and her husband Jon are expecting their first child in the beginning of June! What better way to celebrate this joyful occasion than to document part of that journey in photographs?!? My parents will be first time grand-parents, and for Jon's parents this will be the third grandchild! Here is a sneak peak (until my computer starts behaving and I can finish more than just one photo at a time!). Don't you just love her little bump?!?

More to come, hopefully sooner rather than later!!

Jamie and Steph knew they were having a little boy, and we tried very hard to set up a maternity session for Steph before she had him...to no avail! So instead, she decided to wait until this little munchkin was born, and make the drive down to Hamilton so I could photograph him. Hopefully Steph, these were worth the wait!

Can you see how much they love him?

According to his momma, he sleeps all day and is awake all night...

I love this one!

Still not sleeping...

This is what he thought of me...

Nope, still not sleeping!

Jamie and Steph, it was a pleasure to spend time with you and your little miracle! Thanks for making the long drive to see me, and enjoy your photos. The rest (and your gift) is coming in the mail!

We had been meaning to get these photos done for a few weeks now...time just kept getting into the way!

These two little guys are my nephews, and if I do say so myself...they are cute!

Happy Birthday Elizabeth! - Vineland Photography

2009-11-05T11:56:00.001-05:00

I recently had the privilege of photographing an 85th birthday party at Vineland Estates Winery in Vineland, Ontario. Elizabeth turned 85 years old, and her family wanted to help her celebrate in a big way!

The venue for the evening was the famous Carriage House nestled between the restaurant and the winery itself.

Family came from near and far to help celebrate this special occasion!

I couldn't resist some food photos!

The woman of the hour. She gave a very eloquent and moving thank-you speech during dinner, what a lovely lady! I had a difficult time capturing any photos of her, as she told me "I don't really like my profile, but thank-you for coming anyway." ;)

Congratulations Elizabeth, and I wish you many more!

I met this couple at Liuna Gardens after work on friday afternoon. It was cold and windy, but they were great sports for putting up with me and my crazy ideas!

Liuna Gardens holds a special place in their hearts, as this is where they had gotten engaged!

I had so much fun with you guys last night! I pushed my camera harder than ever before, and the end result was so worth it!

Sophie Grace - Caledonia Newborn Photography

2009-10-15T18:45:00.001-04:00

Meet Sophie Grace! I waited a long time to meet this little munchkin, but she was well worth it! Isn't she just scrumptious?

YAWN!

Snuggles with mommy...awww!

Thanks Josh & Er for allowing me to capture special memories for your family!

Walker Family Photos - Vineland, Ontario

2009-10-10T09:44:00.000-04:00

I had the pleasure of photographing the Walker family last weekend! The love they had for each other and for others was evident through-out the whole session. What a truly lovely family!

Four boys...need I say more?!? I can only wish I had that much energy everyday!

So much energy, but they did sit still for a few seconds!

In the end, we did get some truly great shots...enjoy your sneak peak Noel and Julie!

Just one more...

2009-10-08T08:49:00.000-04:00

Just one more of my favourites from Steve and Carissa's wedding!

Steve & Carissa

2009-09-26T08:47:00.001-04:00

Steve and Carissa were wed yesterday! I will admit that the weather in the morning was giving me some anxiety as all the photos were to be done outdoors! However, the day turned out to be beautifully sunny and just a touch on the cool side. Carissa was dazzlingly beautiful and Steve looked striking in his tux! Congratulations you two, it was a beautiful day after all. I hope that it was all you dreamed it would be and more! Thank-you for allowing us to capture your special day for you!

Jayden - Hamilton Newborn Photography

2009-09-08T21:00:00.000-04:00

Mike and Amanda had to wait a bit longer to meet baby Jayden than they anticipated, but I'd say she was worth the wait!

I love the innocence of this sweet baby girl and her momma...

She fought sleep so hard!

But gave in eventually!

Mike and Amanda, you have been blessed with a beautiful gift from God! Congratulations!

Nic & Michelle - Vineland Engagement Photography

2009-08-30T19:33:00.001-04:00

Nic & Michelle, it was fun getting to know you (Michelle, it was fun getting to know you better!). I know that your wedding is coming up in less than 2 months, so here is a sneak peak for you!

Does she not have the most beautiful eyes? I had to get a shot of those stunning eyes!

You guys are so sweet together...can't wait for the wedding!

Again, stunning eyes!

Gwen's Birth Announcement

2009-08-20T17:03:00.002-04:00

I had to wait for Brigette to "reveal" Gwen's official birth announcement before I could post this, I didn't want to steal her surprise! I had SOOOO much fun during this photo shoot! This particular design to based on one that I had found online a few months ago, and I was dying to try it!

Gwen - Hamilton Baby Photography

2009-08-17T16:34:00.006-04:00

Good thing we managed to snap some belly shots the week before Gwen was born!

I think that newborns have the cutest smiles!

More Baby Bumps

2009-08-08T21:30:00.008-04:00

I have some of the best friends in the world! Amanda and Brig allowed me to drag them around a park one afternoon to try out my new lens, and I am happy with most of the shots!

I seem to have a thing for "foot shots" lately, I love this perspective.

Mike and Mandy, you are going to be great parents!

Brig, thanks for being so patient with me as I crawled around in the grass!

These photos were done last week, and I found out this afternoon that Paul and Brig were blessed with a health baby girl! Congratulations!

Another "foot shot"!

What better way to test my new camera than to capture this funky couple! They let me do what I wanted, and went along with all my ideas (love that!).

I loved the colour of that wall behind them, could not pass that up!

The new Mr. & Mrs. Hartman!

2009-06-27T13:22:00.006-04:00

Yesterday was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding! The weather was perfect, the location was gorgeous, and Brian & Anj couldn't have looked more happy to be together. Brian is one of Dan's younger brothers, the middle child in the family. Here are a few pictures of the day, I didn't get many shots as I wanted to enjoy the day without my camera constantly around my neck. Their photographer is an extremely inspiring nurse/photographer whose work continues to inspire and amaze me. She truly has an eye for composition and a flare for capturing the most memorable details of the day. Check out her website as I'm sure in the coming weeks she will be posting some of Anj & Brian's photos.

I forgot all about this photo...it is one of my favourites from this session that was done back in February. Isabel was so full of energy and life, and it was incredibly hard for her to sit still! I love how enthralled she was with these strands of beads!

Cool Video-Check it out!

Pink Invitation

2009-03-20T08:07:00.003-04:00

Remember this amazing couple?

I did their engagement shots last fall, and they decided to use them in their invitation! They are definitely a striking couple, and the colour choice worked out so well! This invitation is 15 inches by 5 inches, meant to be 5 inches by 5 inches square when folded. Love them!
