We’re finally back in the swing of things around here, and I’m so excited to share some new photos with you We had the pleasure of spending a beautiful summer afternoon with Vicky and Mark at Cherry Avenue Farm. It was the perfect location for their engagement session! A family run farm for over 200 years, with thousands of cherry trees as far as you can see. We started the session in front of Jennifer and Tim’s beautiful home, and took advantage of the gorgeous light from the setting sun. I’m in love with this home! And our amazingly sweet...

Ok so I know, I know.. I’m a total slacker and I have neglected this blog for way too long. But to make up for it.. I have some very pretty eye candy for all the brides out there!

I just wanted to take a quick second…(because my eyes are about to send me their resignation in protest of spending so much time in front of the computer).. so without dragging this out, I’ve officially launched a new business! Geared towards Maternity | Newborn | Babies + Family photography. Please take a few minutes to check out: De La Petite Fine Art Photography I I’m also hosting my first ever promotion online and also at the Hamilton Baby Expo.

So the spice is 1 today, and I somehow I can barely come to terms with the fact that a whole year has already passed by.. she’s not a baby baby.. but of course she’s still MY baby. Laszlo and I still stop and stare and look at her say “wow” “she’s really ours” or I’ll hear him say “wow.. she’s like a little human being” that always makes us laugh.. just realizing how unique she really is, that she’s her very own person, but came from us. When you think about it like that it’s awe inspiring…...

I love looking through our family photos, when Amina was teeny tiny and so brand new… when Marco was brown all over and you couldn’t tell his face from his bum because of all the fur… and of course photos of just the 2 of us before the 2 of them came into our lives. I haven’t been shooting much because I’ve been feeling so bummed out, this winter weather has lasted way too long and I’m dying to see some greenery + sun! Example [ Photo taken at my in-law’s from an upstairs bedroom around 8pm on last Sunday April 3rd) APRIL!!...

They found it! After waiting a few weeks (Henry’s) found my first roll of 120 medium format film. I had no clue what to expect… and I’m not thrilled with the results, but it’s pushing me to try again. I should have overexposed the film to get more pastel-like colors ( the look I want to achieve ) … and I’m not sure if that’s why there’s a green tinge to these shots. The wall in my living is more yellow than what you see below. Film: Fujicolor 120 ISO 100 | Camera: Mamiya C33 I do love the “feel” of these...

I love the change in season, from hot to cool…. and even freezing! I love it when everything is covered in a blanket of white, and if you look at the snow at dusk by streetlight it sparkles. Today it snowed, big, fat, perfect snowflakes, and Marco was in heaven. I let him go out in the backyard to jump around 2 feet of snow, and he waited outside the door for me to come out and play too: Looking at my feet…yeah that’s right Marco, I’m not wearing any shoes, so no, I’m not coming outside with you. I closed the door…but he...

Things have been incredibly busy around here as it’s now January 21, and I’m still wrapping up projects from 2010. A big thank you to everyone for being so understanding and patient with me while I get through the photos and album designs. { Who knew being a full time mommy + full time entrepreneur would be so time consuming! } I’ll be announcing some changes regarding work (my availability, turnaround time etc) in a little bit, but for right now I want to talk about something else Something much more fun. I received the most incredible Christmas...

It was chilly, wait scratch that.. we were freezing our butts off and Tanya braved the cold the day after her Owen Sound Wedding to trash her wedding dress as the sun was rising over Georgian Bay. I absolutely love these next shots: Tanya you are beautiful Love this quick shot of the rings that Laszlo took that morning: p.s. For those that are wondering, her dress didn’t literally get trashed, just a little wet, nothing that a regular cleaning can’t take care of. Trash The Dress photo sessions are the perfect way to get more relaxed and creative portraits...
