Tara {Allure}

December 10, 2011

Every once in awhile I am blessed to work with a client where capturing their images is effortless. This was that session for me. Now it doesn’t hurt that Tara is absolutely drop dead gorgeous, but that aside, she also has a heart of gold and is an incredibly beautiful person both inside and out. Which makes her exponentially awesome to work with. I am so thrilled that Tara gave me permission to share her images with you as I am so proud of how they turned out. Please feel free to leave a comment below!

Thank you again to the incredibly talented Carly Flint for the awesome make up styling ! These images were taken in the elegant Fairholme Manor. My favourite B&B in town!

Sweet Words

November 29, 2011

I am so rejuvenated after last weekends Allure event that I have literally been glued to the computer editing these amazing images. I was honoured to meet some fabulous women and even though I took some pretty photos, they gave me a beautiful gift by inspiring me to do and shoot more of what I love, amazing women.

I received this lovely email from Tara after our shoot and with her permission I am sharing it here with her first teaser image. Can’t wait to share more from her session, they are some of my all time favourites.

“I spent the day thinking if what an incredible time I had with you yesterday. I had really forgotten how much fun work could be when everyone’s inspired and excited. Our shoot had a huge impact on me and breathed a some much needed life into my day-to-day. It was something great just for me…although I’m sure Matty will enjoy the fruits of our labors as much as we do, I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved and appreciated how lovely you made me feel (and look!) and the time you spent with me…I felt so comfortable…like we’ve been friends for years! I’m so excited to see what we made! Thank you again, so sincerely, for everything Kim. T”

Such a beautiful image Kim. I love the light, soft romantic tones and the feminine beauty that was captured. Keep up the great work!

I am a big believer in setting goals. I set both personal and business goals every year and I’d like to think that they help keep me striving on to bigger things in life. I am reminded of the wonderful quote from the movie Inception “You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.” Goals give you that opportunity to dream about creating the life you want to be living and all that you want to accomplish even if it seems out of reach. Not all of the goals on my lists are lofty, but I am happy to say that I checked another one off. Over the past couple weeks I hosted my first Allure boudoir event at Fairholme Manor. I teamed up with the fabulous make up artist, Carly Flint, and we had such an amazing time working with some incredible ladies.

I am thrilled to say that a few of them have agreed to let me share their images! Tracey was our very first shoot and I have to say that if I look as smokin hot as she does at 40 something I would be one happy lady!

Poet’s Cove Wedding | Emery & Jesse {Married}

November 27, 2011

When a bride forgets her wedding shoes and purse at home when she’s getting married on a gulf island far from home you’d expect some type of major reaction, perhaps even tears. Nope, not from Em. It barely phased her! She knew her day wasn’t about her shoes, or her purse, but something bigger. A lot bigger. Not just about a wedding, but about a marriage. I love my brides and this is just one of the reasons why. Emery wasn’t going to let anything spoil her day. Not even the threatening grey clouds that loomed overhead. And I love her for it!

Jesse and Emery celebrated their incredible wedding at the fabulous Poet’s Cove Resort on Pender Island. I love shooting at Poet’s Cove! They have some of the most amazing staff. It’s always a treat getting to photograph a wedding at this mini destination wedding location. Their day flowed flawlessly thanks to Sandy and her amazing team with Details Event and Wedding Planning. I always love working with Sandy. Her and her team will go above and beyond to make sure your wedding is fabulous.

Emery and Jesse, you were a treat to work with throughout this entire process. Em I love how are emails were about your wedding and the photos and then sprinkled in with little bits about our kiddos. I will miss those, so I hope we can stay in touch. You are such lovely people and I can’t wait to work with you again!
