I love when I start feeling like I’m part of the family.  It’s a great feeling!  I’ve had so much fun photographing some special moments for the Rowntree’s.  I photographed Sarah & Jesse’s wedding in 2007… Aaron & Kariann’s newborn Carter back in December… and now their WHOLE family.  As you scroll down, you’ll see grandma and grandpa!  They made us laugh so much! So cute!

can you feel the love?

You wouldn’t remember Sarah & Jesse because I shot their wedding before I started blogging!
It was so nice to see you guys again!

By far my favourite shot!

On a side note.  Although my twitter says: NO COMMENT today.  I couldn’t help myself. It’s April 6th and it’s supposed to be SPRING.  But… spring this year is looking a whole lot like winter!!  I looked out the window this morning and saw THIS:

Is this going to last foreveeeeer???

I want to introduce you to Rachael, Carter’s little friend.  You may remember Carter from a few months back — I took a few photos of him and his proud parents when he was just brand new to the world.  Well… Rachael just loved those photos I took, and she decided that she wanted some of her own.  I told her I’d only photograph her if she’d be on her best behaviour  (translation:  she had to be cute).

So when she turned 6 months, Mom & Dad dressed her up and brought her over… and all I can say is that she was definitely CUTE & LOVELY the entire shoot!!

Hope you love your photos Rachael

First – THANKS to EVERYONE who’s been commenting.  You have until Tuesday evening, so keep it up!

Second – if you’re reading this and have no idea why I’m thanking everyone.  Go to my post on CANS FOR COMMENTS.

Alright… now onto Carter. What a precious little guy – 2.5 weeks old.  I was telling his mommy Kariann, that I don’t know the last time I held a newborn.  It’s been a very very    l  o  n  g    time.

You should know that Carter came about 3 weeks too early but he weighed 6lbs 8oz.  So he was perfect! This is the story: Aaron and Kariann were having a nice romantic weekend away in Niagara Falls (they wanted to have some time for each other before the baby came) and right in the middle of that weekend away… Carter decided it was time to meet the world!
Seeing that they were 1.5hours away from home, Aaron drove as fast as he could to get back to Guelph in time to have the baby (you’ll have to ask him how long it actually took them to get here)… let’s just say it was just like the movies! LOL!!
And after only 4 short hours of labour – Carter Aaron was born!

Here are few of my favourites:

Carter was very sleepy throughout his shoot

I used my two new lenses and loved them both.  The 50mm 1.2f lens is an allstar!!!! The 100mm 2.8f macro is so wonderful for these beautiful closeup detailed shots…  mmmmm yummy!

the happy family

i love how he randomly smirks!!

Welcome to the world little guy

Every once in awhile I have a chance to take photos of little ones I met this little guy Nicholas a few years back when he was first born……… and I haven’t seen him since!!  I was shocked when I saw him – he had grown so tall.  But once I met his dad, I realized where he gets it from!

He had sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much energy!!! Half way through the shoot, I removed a few layers because I was getting a workout running after him.  lol.

Anyway here are few favourites…

I had a bright idea to have Nicholas chase me with leaves…. that was a game we played for a LONG time!!

SO FUN!

Nicholas’ parents…

the next photo looks like Justin when he was a kid…..
