Photography: Baby E & Amazon Kindle

Ha! Well these two things have nothing to do with each other but this is a blog about all the things I love too.  :)  If you are considering getting an e-book...I highly highly recommend it!  I have had mine for about 6 months now.  I bought it because I always bring 4 or 5 books along with me on our vacation and didn't want to take up all the room in my suitcase anymore.  Why not just use the iPad?  Well the iPad has a glare and makes it nearly impossible to read outside.  I bought the kindle after reading many many reviews that the kobo was just not as good.  One drawback to the kindle is that you can only use a certain file type with it, meaning you can't buy books from anywhere but the Amazon store.  The selection is usually pretty good on Amazon  but I have a program I use to convert things I've bought from the Kobo store to the Kindle file type.  Problem solved!


This little guy was ALL smiles!  He was the last of my first marathon day and I was tired!  It was fabulous that he and his mom had so much energy because I really wasn't sure I had much left.  It was hot that day and I'd been shooting for 4 hours straight.  (ok..maybe that doesn't sound like much but I'm new!)

Love these dimples!

Photography: Little M

Oh wow.  When I saw this little guy I was drooling.   His little limbs are awesome!  He was very very serious during our shoot but not for lack of mom trying to get him smiling.  Such a handsome little man!

Photography: Little Mr. L & Love Apple

Ok, I LOVE Apple.  I love everything they sell and I proudly had my first iPod delivered to a coworker in the US and dragged over the border by another.   I was all proud to be the first of my friends to own this special device.  I've just found another reason to love Apple.  I was having a slow home button issue with my iPhone and took it in the other day to have it looked at by the Genius bar at the Apple store.  No questions asked, it was replaced within minutes.  I also had mobile me so all my settings/contacts, etc were stored and my new phone looks exactly as the old one, but works a little better.  As a consumer, I can't say enough good things about a company that stands behind its product.  I no longer mourn the loss of BBM.  I don't look back.


On to mini-shoot pictures...this was the second 2 year old of the day.  They are such a funny bunch, so curious and so deliciously cute.  This little guy had the best time playing with bubbles and was very curious about what was behind the door.  I had a lovely time getting to know Mr. L and his mom!

Style tip: Layer, layer, layer & Family K!!

So...big question that usually gets asked...and I've asked it myself.  What should we wear to the photos?  Layers!!!  I love the look of layers, it just adds that extra bit of dimension and interest to pictures.  Don't follow convention, wear something that reflects you and your personality.  If you are lost...find a  mannequin and buy what they are wearing!  Here are some of my favourite shops...to browse and to buy!  Some have a section on their site that gives you ideas for outfits.  Also..if you are a mom like me with an ever-changed body shape..add a fitted jacket.  Makes your outfit complete, polished and hides some lumps.

Here's the first family from my mini sessions!  This sweet little boy I met when he was about 6 months old for the first time.  We were busy blowing bubbles in the water and learning to dunk heads.   Since then he has grown into a busy little toddler!  His Mom and Dad are expecting a new addition anytime now so I got the opportunity to photograph them at a very special time in their life.  I wish you all the best Family K!
