This amazing family has some stories to tell from our sessions. Really no one could have imagined when they contacted me to book fall photos that their session would be rescheduled  3 times due to weather, have a camera card glitch and a lost wedding ring.  (Yes, the ring was lost in the leaves and was found thanks to Dave raking and raking and raking.  Those that know me,... Read More

Vegetarian Chili Recipe {Organization Tips #4}

I have always find meal times a trial.  The planning, prepping, cooking, consumption and cleaning just seem overwhelming at the end of the day.  One thing that has always saved me a trip through the drive-thru is my freezer.  I make larger amounts of items, divide them into single or family sized portions and pop them into the freezer.  Chili, meatballs, pasta sauce, and soup... Read More

Caitlyn turns 7 – it was bound to happen {Orangeville Photographer}

It absolutely was going to happen but I really do not have to be happy about it.  Caitlyn who (I am certain) was put on this planet to teach me something new each and everyday, has turned 7 with grace, style and verve.  She is so happy and I absolutely adore her.  Today her asthma was acting up so I made the decision to keep her home.  Not because she was bad, but because I... Read More

it’s party (safari) time….{Orangeville Photographer}

We hosted Caitlyn’s 7th (gulp – she is actually turning 7 ) birthday on the weekend.  It was one of those parties that started medium (rarely are they ever small) and grew and grew and grew.  The size had a lot to do with my failure to hide the invitations after we had initially filled them out. …. Caitlyn continued to fill them out and give them to people (little... Read More

It’s that wonderful time of year again……the time of year when Caitlyn has a birthday and she requests an elaborate cake that my baking abilities have NO HOPE of producing.  Last year it was the puffer fish which was an interesting achievement, this year it is a snake.  Caitlyn LOVES reptiles, lizards, snakes, bugs and all other sorts of creatures I would normally... Read More
