Deana & Family

Deana contacted me to meet up with her and her two kids for a family session. We got together on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in Balls Falls. I love Balls Falls this time of year.. the colours are incredible and it's just such a beautiful place. I had a great time with these three. They have a super family dynamic and they get along so great. I hope to work with them again in the future. A couple favourites..

Amanda & Benjamin

As a mother of two little boys, I love doing mother and son sessions. When Amanda contacted me for this session, I was really excited. We met on a gloomy Monday afternoon over at St. John's Conservation in Fonthill. The rain held off, thankfully, and we ended up with some great shots. Here's a look at what we were up to..

Pamela & Family

Pamela contacted me recently to come by her beautiful home to take photos of her and her family.. and by family, I mean her, her fiancé, and her seven wonderful kids. I had so much fun with this family, they were really great. I'm looking forward to doing their Christmas photos in the next few weeks. Some favourites..

2012 Glam Event

KDP will be holding a GLAM Event on Sunday January 15th 2012. Please see the photo for details.

You can check out my previous GLAM work here.

Esmé

Esmé was one of my finalists in the Cutest Kid Contest that I held back in September. She came in third place with a substantial number of votes. I got to meet with her, her mom and her grandma on a Sunday afternoon. Although she was a very sleepy girl, she was very smiley and happy for us and we walked away with some beautiful shots. Congratulations, Esmé!

Catrina & Jeff

Catrina had contacted me to do a couples session for her and her boyfriend, Jeff. I was honoured that they drove all the way from Orangeville, ON just to have take their photos. We met up on Saturday afternoon at Balls Falls, and even though it was rainy, we ended up with some great shots. I had so much fun with these two and I wish them nothing but the best in their future endeavours. A few of my favourites from the session..

Zachary

I had the pleasure of taking The Inkster's family photos a few months ago, and Steph had contacted me again to meet up with them and their family at Howell's Pumpkin Patch so that I could take some photos of little Zachary in his Halloween costume. As an avid Star Wars fan myself, I was ecstatic to see that Zach would be dressing up as a little Darth Vader. Despite the pumpkin patch being crazy busy, we ended up with some great shots and we had a ton of fun. May the Force with you!

Tiffany & Family

Tiffany had contacted me to meet with her wonderful family so that they may get their photos done. We met at Decew Falls (Morningstar Mill) on a Saturday afternoon and had a a great time. This was such a fun family to work with and I'm hoping I'll get to work with them again! This is what we were up to..

Joe & Trina

Trina had asked me to be a part of her big day coming up in June 2012, and had asked me to take their engagements shots. Naturally, I was thrilled to do this for them. We ventured over to Balls Falls on a gorgeous Thursday evening. We couldn't have asked for a better day. I am really looking forward to being a part of their wedding next year, but in the meantime, these photos will have to do for now. Here are a few of my favourites..

Tyler & Shelley 9.10.2011

Back in June, I met with Tyler and Shelley to shoot their engagements photos. On September 10th, I met with the lovely couple to celebrate their wedding. After such a rainy week, we were worried that their day would be gray and gloomy, but fortunately we ended up with some gorgeous weather. I was so honoured to have been a part of their day, and I wish these two lovely people nothing but the best, now and forever. This is what we were up to..

The Bergen Family

I met with this wonderful family on a very sunny and warm Friday afternoon over at Decew Falls. Paula, Konrad and their two daughters were so great to work with, and were some of the kindest souls that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I sincerely hope to meet with them again soon. A few from our time together..

The Gobel Girls

Back in July, I met with Briar and her boyfriend Mark to do a couples session out in Port Dalhousie. Briar contacted me recently to set up a family session with her mom and her sister. We got together at Balls Falls on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon and walked away with some awesome shots. These three ladies were such a riot to work with, and seeing the way they get along so great is fantastic. Here are a few of my favourites..
