A little bit about me and some of my favourite things ….

Snuggles with my two little ones. They are my whole heart. Date nights with my husband to the same four restaurants lol. We are creatures of habit. Wine, preferably red, or Prosecco. Tea and lots of it. My garden is my happy place. I have a small flower farm and flower stand and I hope to expand this passion of mine. We have four hilarious little ducks, 1 Indian Runner and 3 Muscovy. Strolls around our beautiful neighbourhood. Cozy coffee shops and skinny vanilla lattes or London Fogs. The ocean is SO good for my soul, I could never live away from it. Dark dark chocolate. Movies and cuddles on the couch. I looooove Maui. Boots all year round, definitely. Sushi. I am proud to be Canadian. I will own a french bulldog one day. Places I have travelled: England, France, Scotland, Turkey, Greece, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Mexico, Oahu and Maui and a few more little snippets of Canada and the U.S. I hate being late. Pinterest, I am obsessed. Instagram, I am relatively new to it, but fully addicted. My mom is one of my best friends. I have a growing cookbook collection. I try to practice living a life full of gratitude. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day, Kim :)

Alina & Michael {E-Session} … and Rafi

May 25, 2009

Every once and awhile I have a photo session where everything clicks (no pun intended!) The lighting, weather, location, chemistry, and creative vision all come together seamlessly. These days make me happy…very happy and grateful. Not that working hard fighting against conditions that are seemingly out to get you isn’t rewarding. In fact getting great shots under unlikely circumstances is always a fabulous feeling. However, when things are easy – the shots, the poses, the personalities of all involved … it is such a wonderful feeling.

My session with Alina and Michael and their ‘so cute I could steal him’ dog, Rafi, was one of those days. Everything was perfect. I had met with Alina and Michael before as I am shooting their incredible 3 day wedding event at Poet’s Cove this summer. Alina and I have shared numerous emails back and forth and it was when those emails began that I knew I was excited to work with these two. They are both incredibly laid back and easy to be around. We laugh a lot, and that’s always a good sign. The two of them are so comfortable together. During couples sessions I always want the vibe of the session to be as if I am not even there. A fly on the wall … with a camera. Alina and Michael got right into it and just enjoyed each others company while I did my best to capture their relationship on ‘film’.

There is so much I love about these images. I think there is such a calmness to them. Perhaps it is the grey skies, or just the demeanor of these two together. Whatever it is, I like it.

Alina and Michael – I am so excited about your wedding this summer! And judging by how you rocked these photos I know we are going to create some amazing images at your wedding and I can’t wait !! We definitely won’t have a shortage of images for your guestbook! I hope you like these teasers *fingers crossed*
