Emma ~ Fashion Photography in Toronto
Posted on Dec 31, 2009 at 10:35 am by Jane · No CommentsI think this may be the start of a trend. One in which I invite my friends over, and then casually mention that I’d love to take some photos of them…I’m sure they won’t mind. Honestly though, I can’t help it – they’re all so darn good looking!

What a wonderful year!
Posted on Dec 29, 2009 at 9:00 am by Liz · 1 CommentAs we approach 2010 I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how wonderful 2009 has been to elizabeth&jane photography. I have had such a great year and I want thank each and every one of my amazing clients for allowing me to capture moments in your life.
This year has marked the official launch of elizabeth&jane photography. I say “official” because we have been photographing long before we launched the business. It was very important to me to make sure that this was something that I really loved beyond just a hobby. I spent a full year photographing for many MANY charity events. Spending time learning about the industry and figuring out where our place was within it.
We encountered so many wonderful souls this year, both four and two legged. We’ve been there to document the creation of new families, celebrations of love, laughter and so much more. We are so lucky to have such amazing clients and people in our lives who believe in what we do, and where we want to go.
I want to take a moment out to thank my wonderful, awesome, amazing husband, Thomas. He’s put up with me being away for shoots as well as editing until all hours of the night. He is the coding power behind my website and the driving force behind everything I do. I could not have realized my dream of launching this business without him, and for that I am eternally grateful.
I can’t mention Thomas, without mentioning our two little balls of love that cheer me up whenever I am feeling down. Paddington and Corduroy, our two dogs, are the light of my life and they also deserve a shoutout. Good dogs.
I would also like to thank the phenomenal Angela Hubbard and the outstanding Studio1948 for all of their help, advice and encouragement this year. elizabeth&jane photography would not be where it is today without the help of these two amazing photography studios.
And last, but certainly not least, my wonderful sister and second shooter, Jane. Thank you for always pushing me and helping me to get the very best shots.
2009 has been so wonderful, I can’t wait to see what 2010 brings!
Now, to sum up the year in pictures.
Have a wonderful day,

Wedding Resources ~ Best Blogs for Brides, Ottawa Wedding Photography
Posted on Dec 27, 2009 at 10:00 am by Liz · 2 CommentsThere are so many things for a bride to think about before the wedding and I know before I got married I wanted to look at many many websites for ideas and inspiration.
I have compiled a list of my favourites, and ones that helped me before my own wedding last summer.
The Wedding Chicks *a personal fave* ~ weddingchicks.com
I love this website – lots of really amazing ideas and always has great resources, even for Canadians! I also ordered shirts from them for my wedding; one that said Bride and the other said Maid of Honour. Too cute!
Weddingbells Blog ~ weddingbells.ca/blogs
The Weddingbells Blog (and website) is great because it’s 100% Canadian – gotta love that! Offices are based out of Toronto so if there’s something you must have that they feature, it’s only a shortish drive away. This blog/website is the companion to the Weddingbells Magazine (also a great resource).
Weddingbee ~ weddingbee.com
Weddingbee is great because it’s blog posts done by either real life brides/couples or wedding vendors. Lots of great insight and info on here and I spent hours pouring over this blog when I first found it.
The Bride’s Cafe ~ thebridescafe.com
Beautiful blog with lots of inspiration. Only downfall is there is no Canadian content on it.
Kiss the Groom ~ kissthegroom.com
Kiss the Groom is a blog told in beautiful photos. Some stunning imagery on it.
100 Layer Cake ~ 100layercake.com/blog
100 Layer Cake is a mix of DIY, real weddings, style and inspiration.
Not blogs, but very helpful
Wedding Wire ~ weddingwire.com
This was easily the most helpful website I found and used before we got married. It has everything you need to plan your day and keep it organized, and for an organization-freak like me, it was perfect! Don’t let the .com extension fool you though, this website has A TON of Canadian content and vendors and if your vendors aren’t in their system, you can add them in!
Stephanie James Couture ~ stephaniejamescouture.com
Stephanie James is a designer in the US and I just fell completely and utterly in LOVE with her dresses. If I wasn’t lucky enough to have my wonderful Mother custom make my wedding dress, I would have sought out a Stephanie James dress. I don’t believe they sell them in Ottawa, but Sash and Bustle in Toronto does.
iDiY ~ i-do-it-yourself.com/
iDiY is a great resource for the bride who wants to add some personal hand-made touches to her wedding. There are many projects and ideas on this blog, and some are not even for weddings!
If you have any wedding blogs you love – leave it in the comments!
Have a wonderful day,

Baby Josh (loves turkey)
Posted on Dec 23, 2009 at 9:00 am by Liz · 1 CommentBaby Josh got into the holiday spirit and chowed down on some little turkey bits. He is so dang cute that I had to document the event. You may remember Josh from our shoot this past summer. He’s getting bigger!
And here is a picture from our maternity session last year when Josh was still in his momma’s belly!
Have a wonderful day,
