Noah, dressed up for the halloween parade at school:

He was so well disguised that my mother, who was standing right next to me, didn’t recognize him, I had to ask him to remove his mask so she would see him!

Rebecca joined me on walking to collect Noah from school…here she looks quite normal…

…and here she is done up for halloween night!

Sitting on our neighbours front steps:

With our neighbours daughter, Alison, the child vampire!

And just one more shot of her, black nail polish would have finished the look I think!

Noah, practicing for the night ahead:

Thought this was a cool shot with the lit up windows of the house in the background:

And, last but not least, (as I did last year) some halloween pumpkins from the night!

Here’s a shot of the youngest, Harrison, at the piano, I just LOVE this shot! He’s such a cutie!

Also love this candid I caught of the four kids together, playing thumb wars and rock, paper, scissors! You can see that the younger ones just love their older siblings!

Young Jacob, look at those beautiful blue eyes!

Harrison, such a character he is!

Adore this moment between mom and Jacob, so sweet!

Mom and Harrison just came down the slide in the backyard together, I just adore this shot also! Love the moment that I caught.

Can’t tell that Kyle and Kristen are brother and sister, eh? They both have the most amazing eyes!

Dad and Jacob in the kitchen, so sweet:

Just look at those cool eyes!

Ok, does this not look like a family in an advert? So cute and so perfect! I just adore the stance of Harrison and Jacob in the front, and Jack (the sweet, sweet dog!) is perfectly posed as well!

Thank you so much Patricia and Wayne! It was wonderful to meet you and your children!

A very yummy shoot this month! Certainly a menu I plan to recreate now that the cooler weather is upon us….

Delicious sweet potato wedges, see the recipe here:

The pulled pork was amazing, my kids loved the leftovers as well!

And a fabulous idea for the leftovers!

Part of the dinner party menu, the couscous-stuffed acorn squash was a great idea, and also very yummy!

None of us at the shoot had room (after our delicious lunch!) to try the Spooky Spider Brownies, but (again!) my kids loved them! A great spooky treat for this time of year!

Looking forward to whatever is on the menu for next month!

Following a tradition we started a few years ago, we went to lunch, just the two of us. Of course, now that she’s in grade 7, it isn’t cool for me to pick her up at school. So she called me on her cell as she got to the restaurant and came inside.

And, yes, she has changed her hair colour!

I picked a table so we were right by the windows, and she was facing them. I’m starting to get used to her new hair colour, kind of. I decided to pick my battles, and hope she will quickly grow out of wanting to change her hair colour!

We took turns checking out the desserts, caught her on the way back:

I asked the restaurant, before she arrived, if they could put a candle in whatever we ordered for dessert:

One last shot before she headed back to school for the afternoon:

Today, on her actual birthday, we had our family celebration:

And another year has pasted!

Here are a few shots from the session:

Thanks Tony! It was my pleasure to spend time photographing you!

Justine, on the left below, found me online and the family hired me to photograph kids, parents and grandparents.

Here is Chloe, with her mom and grandmother, love this shot of the three generations!:

Chloe and her brother Kelly, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this moment!

Kelly is going to be a heartbreaker when he grows up! Beautiful boy! Such a sparkle in his eyes!

Love this moment caught between mother and daughter:

This is Justine’s beautiful sister, Vanessa with her son Max in the background:

Love the soulful look Max is giving the camera, brother Noah is in the background:

How could I resist showing you a close-up of Noah and his beautiful eyes? I couldn’t!

Love this moment between Vanessa’s daughter, Julie, with her mom and dad:

Even though Julie is not terribly happy in this shot, I still love it! Love the bracelets, the shiny black boots, and the look that is so much a three year old!

There were SO many shots that I could have shared from this session, it was so hard to pick which ones to post! But these are definitely some of my favourites. Thank you for finding me online Justine! It was so wonderful to meet and photograph you and your family!

Check out those blue eyes!

She is just as sweet as she was when she was a newborn, she reminds me so much of my daughter as she’s just a happy baby!

Love this shot of the older siblings, Rhys and Kylie, as it reminds me of the upside down shot I did of them at the January session:

Love how Rhys is holding Maeve’s hand in this shot:

LOVE this shot of Maeve with big sister Kylie in the background! Maeve was just fascinated by her big sister’s shoes!

Love this shot of Mom and Dad in the background, they’re so cute!

Then the kids joined in!

Mom and Dad were so smart to book again now that Maeve is sitting, as babies change so much in the first year! And now they’ll have beautiful images to look back on and to remember this time in their family’s life! I look forward to catching many more images as your family continues to grow Christa and Kelly!

After we arrived, I went down to the beach:

The next day we did some shooting with one of the instructors:

The next day we did some shooting on the beach. At first Ella was nervous and wanted to hang with her mom:

But then she warmed up to the group:

And then the shoot was over:

Some shots from the last night, the calm before the storm that blew in the next day:

We couldn’t get out and about the next day, due to rain and wind, but I managed to captured the following two photos of my roommate, Josée, before we had to head to the airport:

Virgil, our next door neighbour, hung out with us most of the time as well:

And as nice as it is to get away, especially to somewhere so beautiful, it sure is nice to come home again!

It was another fun shoot, and I’ve included some out takes this month…enjoy!

We didn’t end up using this first shot, but I love the bokeh in it:

Can you guess what was on the menu? You can see the recipe here.

The dessert recipe can be found here:

You may remember our child model, Spencer, from this blog post on my old blog. Spencer’s mom, Denise, works at SavvyMom and is the EatSavvy editor:

Trevor Bond is the Creative Director during the EatSavvy shoots. Here he is impressing us with his ability to toss the pizza dough like a professional:

I can’t wait to see what’s on the menu for next month!
