Victoria in the Green

Today I did a photoshoot with my friend Victoria. It was a gorgeous day, and the colours were amazing! We had a lot of fun wandering through the forest – except when I got a little bit stuck in the mud (literally!)

Have a great day, and be sure to check out my website!

Addison and her Squeaky Shoes

Meet Addison. Addison is a special girl and her journey began far before she was even a twinkle in her parent’s eyes.

Karma and Adam were in the beginning of their relationship, blissfully falling in love and enjoying getting to know each other. Karma was finishing her degree at journalism school and was about to embark on a solo 2 month trip to Australia and New Zealand and the two were trying to figure out how keep their romance alive while she was off seeing the world.

Then it happened. Something you never want to hear. Cancer. Karma was diagnosed with non-hodgkin’s lymphoma and only a month into their relationship, Karma and Adam had to make a decision. They decided to preserve Karma’s fertility by freezing embryos. Pretty amazing.

Well I promise it gets even more amazing. After beating cancer, Karma and Adam got married and bought their first home together. After a few years they decided they wanted to expand their family and so began the most incredible journey. Treatment for the cancer had left Karma’s body unable to carry their own child, so her sister stepped forward and offered to be their gestational surrogate. After being frozen for five years, the embryos were implanted into Karma’s sister and nine months later, Addison was welcomed into the world with many loving hearts and arms. Karma documented their incredible journey on her blog, She’s Having Our Baby. Check it out to read all about the pregnancy and the first two years of Addie’s life.

I can honestly say that never has a child ever been more loved, and more wanted, in this world. Addison is the centre of her parent’s world, and she lights up every room she walks…err I mean runs into. The journey that took more than six years resulted in a beautiful baby and a wonderfully happy family.

Jane and I met with Karma, Adam and Addison (and their furkid – Quincy) in Toronto on Easter Weekend to document their family, and their love. We started in their home and then headed to the Distillery District and got some great urban shots. Any photographer who has been to the Distillery District knows that it is filled with so many amazing little nooks and crannies to photograph in. We got some great shots and I am so happy to be able to share them with you.

And now, the beautiful little girl this whole journey was for. Meet Addison.

Addison loves to run and it was made more fun by the fact that her shoes squeaked! She ran up and down the cobblestone roads at the Distillery District and even though she had a few falls, she always got up and kept on running. Nothing can stop her!

By the end of the shoot, Addie became quite the model. She kept posing and walked over to this brick wall and just waited for us to take her picture. It was adorable.

Here is the furst child, Quincy the labradoodle. He is such a good dog and he and Addie have such a beautiful relationship. He loves her so much and it’s apparent in the fact that he always watches where she is – if she is away from him he anxiously awaits and watches until she comes back.

And this one I thought was a beautiful ending to this post. Daddy’s little girl.

Becky and Mike are finally getting married!

Becky and Mike had been together for four years and their parents were wondering what was taking them so long. Each family loved both of them and was patiently waiting for the day that they announced that they were going to get married. And they waited while they bought their first home. And they waited when they brought home the cutest Golden Retriever puppy in the world, Lily.

But Mike knew what he was doing all along. He was waiting until Becky had no idea what was coming. Their families all knew, he called them to tell them he was about to propose. Then, while sitting in their home with their loving dog by their side, Mike proposed.

Now I’ve written this all to sound like it was very romantic, which may not be exactly 100% true. The actual proposal went a little something like this: Mike threw something at Becky. She was a bit confused as to why he suddenly felt the urge to begin chucking things at her. She picked up what he had thrown and as it dawned on her what it was, he said very to the point, “So you wanna get married?”.

Now on the surface, it doesn’t look too romantic, but I assure you that Mike is definitely a closet romantic. The ring he had “given” to Becky was custom designed by him and made by the jeweller that Becky’s family has been using for years. Couple that with calling everyone to let them know they’d be stopping by to share their exciting news and folks, you have a romantic no matter how much they may protest this point!

The newly engaged couple then make the rounds at their families’ houses and by the time they reached Mike’s Parents’ house they had a cake waiting for them. Written on it was the simple word: “Finally!”.

I went to high school with Becky and am good friends with her younger sister. In all the years I have known her I have never seen her look so happy. She and Mike are such a perfect fit and you can definitely feel that when you are around them.

Their wedding is set for sometime in the spring of 2011 in some yet-determined tropical locale and I know that it will be a beautiful day, and a start to an already flourishing romance.

I like to call this one: Where is Lily?

Becky and Mike have three fur-kids, Lily, the Golden Retriever and Big and New, the cats.

Lily’s trick to graduate from Dog Obedience School was to balance cheese on her paws without touching it. We used this talent to get a great shot of Becky’s engagement ring on Lily’s paw! Good dog Lily! (she got to eat some actual cheese after the shot!!)

The location of the shoot was just stunning – check out the cliffs!

I really believe that Lily must have been a Mountain Goat in her previous life the way she scaled the cliff. She was a natural.

To Becky and Mike, thank you so much for asking me to come and document your love. Both Jane and I had such a great time with you!

Have a wonderful day,
