Hello!

Yesterday was spent working through this families session and I couldn’t resist posting a few quick teasers. I just love my job… it’s truly a pleasure to meet and spend time with so many wonderful people. Sessions are always a blast – especially this one. We walked through a park, and then went down to the beach for sunset. Loved it! Here’s just a few while I edit. More to come.

Layers are lovely. By putting on a jacket, cardi, or even a scarf you can change the way a photograph looks and feels. Here’s a few pieces that have me drooling this week… just imagine them all put together with the various layers. The bright colours will look amazing in camera too, and are perfect for spring.

Here’s where to shop to get this look:

Until next week – enjoy!

It’s Sunday… and Mother’s Day. Happy, happy day to all the wonderful mom’s out there. I am so thankful for my own mom, and am so proud to be a mother myself. It’s nice to have a special day to recognize and celebrate motherhood.

Today also means it’s time for another dose of Sunday Showcase! This week I wanted to share some great wall art ideas. There are so many ways to display child and family portraits in your home. My personal favourite is gallery wrapped canvas as it’s gorgeous and comes ready to hang, but there are many fun options to showcasing pictures of all sizes and quality for everyone to enjoy. Here’s a few pics to get the creative juices flowing!

Isn’t this a gorgeous hallway? Everything is so clean and symmetrical.

Love this idea! If you visit the source, it provides a how to. I’d love to give it a try.

This is a great example of mixing different sizes and still keeping the “square” frame. The options are endless here, and it makes it easy to use vertical and horizontal images. Frames also make it easy to swap out photos and change it up now and then.

Friday’s are one of the days of the week that Gwenneth and I are typically free of all obligations – we try and keep it that way so we’re free to do as we like. It doesn’t always happen, but a couple times a month the day becomes and “Gwenneth and Mom” day, and we spend time together doing as much or little as we like. Posting photos of Gwenneth on my blog is something I’ve done for a while, but I’ve decided to turn them into a regular weekly feature and they’ll now always show up on Friday, the day of our weekly mom and daughter day. Hope you follow along… she’s growing up so fast.

I really enjoyed meeting the X family of five and playing with their kids during our session. We ran, laughed, jumped, tickled, and blew bubbles to help capture some of the life and energy this family was full of. Here’s just a few favourites.
