Mothers day and Dandelion Bouquets

There are so many great and fun things going on this month.  My class at The Maples School finished with a gorgeous sunshiney day and I brought in rubber duckies and bubbles for photos.  I enjoyed starting my week with the kids who love taking photos.  They are so uninhibited and the resulting art is inspiring. Sessions, wedding consults, proofing, processing orders …..... Read More

New Website – Reflections by Patty Photography {Orangeville Photographer}

After months of thought, distraction, and finally a huge all out push my new website is up and running. It is actually extremely difficult to try and find the one layout that does everything that I want it to do.  (Those that know me will know exactly HOW difficult that can be – I can be a little picky about certain things  Combine that with the fact that it involves... Read More

Spring is springing

Spring is springing

All of my senses are telling me that spring is coming. Yes the weather forecasters are saying potentially 10 cm of snow tomorrow but that is ok – one last chance for skiing this year. That forecast does not defeat the fact that the sun is greeting me when I wake up in the morning bright and strong, I can hear the snow melting in gentle drip, drip, drips and enjoy my morning... Read More

- my favourite place – Hawaii.

In the lifetime before children Dave and I travelled at every opportunity.  I love exploring new places and am anxious to pass that passion on to my girls.  I was so excited to plan our family trip to Hawaii.  I have been there two times before and have to say that it is one of my all-time favourite places on Earth.  Not because I am a suntanning goddess... Read More

We have been having some gorgeous winter days.  Yes they have been -15 Celsius, -20 Celsius and more (friggin' cold in Fahrenheit for my American Friends  but the frosts have been unbelievable.  For people like me I leap out of bed like a kid at Christmas for a sunrise hike to capture the sun glistening off the trees.  Beautiful!  It is a rather... Read More

This has been a very busy summer, packed full of fun, friends, and although I might have complained once or twice about the state of my house and my massive laundry backlog I would not change a thing.  I am busy with work.  This week alone I have 3 new sessions plus a wedding from last weekend to proof plus prepping for my photo-camp next week.  The photo Camp... Read More

….the old adage about needing a vacation to recover from a vacation is true….

Very true indeed.  Especially for anyone that has ever taken their children to Florida.  We have been doing this for 7 years now.  Yep – real beggars for punishment aren't we.  Dave and I have been run ragged and were looking forward to some family time.  We have always been parents who try not to over schedule the kids but for some reason... Read More

It’s Wine Time!

I spent the weekend at my in-law's home in Niagara-On-The-Lake.  What a fabulous little town!  We love going for visits.  The girls always have their suitcases packed for days prior to our travels.  As luck would have it this time of year is Grape time.  And where there are grapes there shortly follows Wine (at least in our world it does Can't... Read More

Back to Colour

Well the butterflies didn't last long.  So sorry for those that liked them – I love butterflies but prefer the energy of colour.  It has been a busy weekend with lots of photos, proofing and camera time.  So many great ideas – so little time. We did make time this week for an evening visit with a new friend.  This is Storm – part border... Read More
