Mum’s Day

“Mum, I love you,” my 3-year-old daughter says sweetly, touching my face gently like I often touch hers. When I was pregnant with her during mother’s day four years ago, I couldn’t have known how this little thing growing inside of me could change my life. Sure, I knew I would love her – mom’s love their kids. But she’s also made me into a better person: confident, patient, focused and more empathetic. I love my kiddo to pieces, and I’m so happy I’m a mother.

I’m going into this weekend with a mission: to be photographed with my daughter and with my mum. Crazy as it may seem, I don’t have a lot of photos with either of these awesome ladies. Call it a photographer’s curse – one that’s easily remedied with a click of the shutter. It has made me happy, however, that I get to photograph so many awesome mum’s with their children.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the bodacious mums I know!

Welcome Colin!

I was so excited to photograph wee Colin last November. After watching his parent’s journey towards adoption throughout 2012, his arrival was an exciting one. And as we tip-toe towards the 6 month mark, this little family will soon be “official” in the eyes of the government. But, it’s quite obvious it was love at first sight for everyone involved. They were a family the moment he was born.

Congratulations Kari, Ben and Colin!
