Just a few from last weekend’s winter document love/engagement session!
Sneak Peek: Jeannie & Beukes
Baby Jackson // Toronto Baby Photographer
A couple of weeks ago I visited Natalie, Ryan and their adorable 9 month old son Jackson in their lovely home. Baby Jackson loves peas, owls, and bath time. He also showed off plenty of his crawling skills :) Oh, and I love his hair!
Below are my favourites, enjoy!
Adrienne & James {Corus Entertainment Building} // Toronto Wedding Photography
I met the lovely Lisa of Lavish and Light Photography at a workshop almost 2 years ago and have adored her work ever since. So I was pretty excited when I got the chance to second shoot with her for Adrienne & James’ wedding this past summer.
Despite the on and off thunderstorm and the humidity throughout the day, nothing could dampen the joy for Adrienne and James. As you will see below from a handful of my favourites. The most unique part of their wedding though, was their reception venue, which was the Corus Entertainment Building. I’d never heard of Corus before but what a whimsical and different venue it is! It’s actually an office building but they have a huge atrium in the back facing Lake Ontario, with all-glass windows. It’s modern and fresh. The coolest part of the venue is the giant tube slide that spirals from a height of almost 3 stories, and that is how Adrienne and James made their grand entrance! It was such great fun.
Someone is pretty excited! :)
Erin & Ivan {Married} // Toronto Wedding Photography
I had the opportunity to second shoot for the lovely Melissa of Moments by Melissa Miller for Erin & Ivan’s intimate wedding last summer.
Erin: is laid back and down-to-earth; is genuinely kind; is the kind of beautiful that shines from within
Ivan: is laid back and down-to-earth; is genuinely kind; is the kind of guy who isn’t afraid to cry
Above all, they are in love, with each other, and with their adorable son, Hunter.
Photography Dream List
Ever since I read The Alchemist, I believed that when you want something with all your heart, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. One of my great dreams is to combine my love of travel with photography, so here’s a list of places where I’d love to photograph a wedding, in no particular order. I hope that in uttering them out loud, they will one day become reality.
– Paris. Enough said :)
– on a beach (anywhere!), at sunset
– Nova Scotia, on the coast, maybe Cape Breton?
– Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland
– A vineyard wedding, in France
– An elopement (how sweet would that be? …ok this isn’t a place, but an elopement to somewhere wonderful and quiet would be amazing)
– A backyard wedding, lovingly handmade with DIY details
– Somewhere in the south of France: the colours, the sun, the hilltop villages, oh my!
– The Highlands of Scotland, or an island
– a Caribbean island
– Havana, Cuba: the colours, the architecture, the people
– A proposal-session (this one is for the extra thoughtful guys out there!)
– Iceland – the hauntingly beautiful landscape
– A little island somewhere in Italy, like Lipari
– Bali, Indonesia
– Venice, Italy: there is simply no other city on earth like Venice
– Costa Rica
– Seville, Spain
– Banff or Jasper National Park
– Old Town Dubrovnik, Croatia
– Lake District, England
If you or anyone you know is planning on getting married and can help me check off one of these dreams from my list, please do get in touch! :)
Note: Ok, I see a theme here: I’m definitely attracted to nature with amazing landscape, architecture, and history.
Baby Matilda
“As first time parents we didn’t quite know what to expect from our newborn daughter, let alone how a photo shoot would work with her, but we were excited to get photos done to document this amazing chapter in our lives. Janice was so flexible with the dates of the shoot as I was 8 days late in delivering and it was over the holiday period. On the day of the shoot Janice was so patient with Matilda as she decided she was going to be wide awake. She was so professional and calm as we tried to get her to sleep. Janice was a natural in holding and moving Matilda, I think she was more comfortable than we were. Janice captured some amazing photos of her! I don’t know how she captured some of the fantastic expressions that she did. We ended up with a great variety of photos that reflected us as a family. We loved all the photos and were so impressed with Janice’s professionalism, calm manner and how she handled our newborn. We would definitely recommend her for anyone thinking of doing a newborn photo shoot.” – Emma & Adam
