Croquet on the Lawn ~ Molnar Family Sneak Peek

A few weeks ago I got a call from Barbara’s father. He was calling to inquire about a portrait session for Barb’s mother for her birthday. I was so excited and said a very enthusiastic yes!!

We scheduled the session for the same day as Barb and Chris’ engagement session and luckily enough we had the perfect day for both sessions.

The true star of the show was Dudley, their 6 year old Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix who they have had since he was 1 week old! Barb used to work at the Arnprior Humane Society and there came a need to nurse five puppies until they were ready to be adopted out at 8 weeks old. It was a lot of work, but they were able to raise the puppies to be healthy and happy and socialized and 1 day after the puppies left to go back to the humane society to be adopted, they drove BACK to get Dudley.

Dudley is very attached to his humans and absolutely LOVES playing fetch – so much so that he will carry every item you have thrown for him in his mouth at once!

Married over 30 years and still so in love!

The whole family in the woods behind their house.

Growing up, Barb and her parents would play croquet on the lawn every year on Mother’s Day and again on Father’s day. We decided to break out the set and have a game on their front lawn. Chris had never played before and everyone had a great time, including Dudley who supervised and tried hard not to run after the croquet balls!

We didn’t forget about their elusive cat, Grecia. She was hiding out in the bedroom to avoid the dog-fest that was going on in the rest of the house. We had some cuddles and got some shots of her as well.

Have a wonderful day,

Cupcake Smash and a Bath ~ Aidan’s Sneak Peek

I love seeing clients’ family’s grow and when Andrea contacted me for a 1 year session for Aidan, I was more than thrilled!

You may remember Aidan’s newborn session from last year. I was lucky enough to capture his early days and boy has he grown since then!

Remember Aidan at 6 weeks:

And here he is at 1! He had some cheerios….and they kinda got all over the place – by no fault of his own…obviously.

Family.

Mr. Aidan loves being thrown up in the air like an airplane.
We also decided that since Aidan had just celebrated his first birthday, we should let him go nuts on a cupcake…I think he liked it…

Seconds before he started “painting” the floor with the icing, using the cupcake like a crayon.

After we finished getting cupcake everywhere, Aidan was in desperate need of a bath. Aidain LOVES baths and had a fantastic time playing and splashing…and eating the bubbles. Yum.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEE” – Aidan.

Have a wonderful day,

Love, Smiles and Licks ~ Hayden and Ashton’s Sneak Peek

I had a wonderful afternoon yesterday with 10 week old baby, Hayden, and his “big brother” Ashton, a 3 year old Jack Russell Terrier.

Hayden was a superstar for the entire session and enjoyed his time in front of the camera. Not to be left out, Ashton hammed it up and gave me lots and lots of kisses – sometimes even while I was photographing his baby brother! (I am actually quite used to this haha).

Introducing Hayden, soon to be breaking hearts in Ottawa! What an adorable little dude!

Hayden loved peek-a-boo and had the best smile! Cutiepie!

Ashton is such a wonderful big brother.

I just love this shot – it just exudes “family” to me.

Feet! My favourite part of this image is Ashton kinda of side looking wondering what we are doing. haha

Now it’s Ashton’s turn! He waited (not-so) very patiently because I had treats and he wanted them.

Love this one – look at him posing!

Have a wonderful day,

Thanksgiving Family Session ~ Molinski Family Sneak Peek

This morning I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with the Molinski family at Richelieu Park in Vanier. These guys had me in stitches and we had a blast “off roading” through the paths of the forest.

Here are a few for your Thanksgiving Sunday – I am off to stuff myself with turkey now!

I am thankful for my hubby, my three fur-kids, my family and the fact that I get to live my dream of being a photographer every day.
Happy Thanksgiving all!

And what is Thanksgiving without a little football?

Have a wonderful day,

Superhigh Swinging! ~ C. Family Sneak Peek

This afternoon I got to play in the park with the C. Family. We had a great time running, climbing and swinging.

First up, the whole family outside of their beautiful home where they just moved last week! I must say I was really impressed as there was not a moving box in sight!

And of course, each kiddo separately doing what they do best.

Swinging.

Climbing & chatting about ice cream (we both love mint chocolate chip!).

Being awesome and simply beautiful.

Lots more soon!

Have a wonderful day,

Liz – Contact Me, I would love to speak with you!
