Woot!  I am finally posting a wedding from October and it is actually a sneak peek instead of what seems to be a series of posts that occur much longer than I would like after the full gallery is seen.  I still have a few of those mentioned above coming, but I wanted to post this sneak peek for Christine and Lee before it was no longer a sneak peek.

Christine and Lee were married on October 11th during a small intimate ceremony.  Immediate family members were witness to their secret nuptials while guests were invited to an engagement party to begin later that evening.  After enjoying a lovely supper with this couple and their family, I could hardly contain my excitement as we headed over to the location of their “engagement party”.  I could only imagine the looks on the faces of the guests as they realized their engaged friends were actually married.  As is customary in Newfoundland, most party guests arrive fashionably late and I did not see the reactions of all the guests, however the ones I did see were sure worth it.  What a great concept for a wedding!  Here are just a couple as I am still working away at these, while at the same time trying to get other sessions clued up in time for the holidays (as they are fast approaching).

Jill and Jerry were married on September 12th.  They were married in the same church as my husband and I were 10 years ago.  I always love to go back to my hometown for a wedding, and I finally got to take some photos in one my favourite places in the world, the beach near Little Port Harmon.  Her flowers were stunning, and I think was the most unique  I have seen to date.

It has been a little while since I posted last, but I am slowly catching up and am actually editing sessions from October now!  I have been meaning to post a few from this session from August.  I have a few more posts coming this week.

These two boys were so sweet with their little sister.   And she was a darling to photograph.  We were out in the backyeard for a few near sunset and the light coming through the trees was very soft and beautiful.  I think this is my favourite time of day to have a session.

One of my favourite subjects to photograph is newborns.  I love their squishy skin, their pouty lips, their tiny toes… everything!  Although a newborn session typically lasts longer than other sessions (as babies need feedings, changings and yes they sometimes even cry for awhile) but it is sooo worth that extra time. 

This little jewel was just as precious as her big sister was when I photographed her an a newborn two years ago.  And such a full head of hair!  She was nice and sleepy too, which is great for getting newborns into interesting positions.  I was even successful with the “stork baby” pose which I have attempted in the past, but have previously failed.   

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons.  Although you very well may hear me say that about Summer, Winter and Spring as well.  I guess I love all the seasons and the changes they bring.  Every fall as I wind down from wedding season and start preparing for the holiday rush of Christmas cards and gifts, I get inquries about when I am availalbe for travelling out of town.  In past years I have been quite unorganized in planning dates etc., however with my new blog I figured I would plan a couple of weekends in the city to meet the demand for session requests, and as well to fulfill my need to go shopping (and maybe even to a movie!)

That said, I will be travelling to St. John’s for sessions the weekend of the 17th of October as well as the 7th of November.  I have limited number of sessions remaining for these two dates, however if you are  interested please be sure to contact me.

And since no blog post would be complete without sharing an image or two, here are a few photos I took of my children while we were on vacation this summer.  They look like they were cooperative and easy going in these photos, but I assure you that this was no easy task that  took the hard work of 4 (yes 4) adults to keep them in their places, stop them from crying and chasing Philip on one of his numerous attempts to run away from it all.

Angela and Kris were wed on a glorious day in August.  The last of my August weddings before crossing over the gulf for our annual summer vacation in New Brunswick.   I have had the pleasure of travelling to Port aux Basques a number of times the last few years, and every time I go I discover a new part of it that I love.  Grand Bay beach provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photos, and the lighting on this evening was just right.

I always love photographing the children who participate in weddings, however when I caught a glimpse of these three girls playing in the ocean while I was photographing the bride and groom, I instantly turned my attention to them for a few moments, knowing right away that I would capture an image that I would love for a long long time.
