Santa portraits always make me smile. I love to watch the kids shifting nervously while patiently waiting their turn, then walking up to the big guy, either with a huge grin that won’t stop, or walking very slowly unsure of the situation! I love listening to the assurances that they really have been good even...

Fall Portraits with the boys
Sometimes they play well together, sometimes they don’t make it easy to parent, sometimes you want to hold them forever and keep them little as long as you can, sometimes you dream of them all grown up, but all the time you love them in a way you never dreamed possible!
Freedom for Jorah
As much as I wish everyday that my children would stop growing up so fast, it is also a wonderful thing to experience them growing up and learning just a little bit more about the world around them. This morning, I asked each of my children what Remembrance Day meant. My oldest daughter’s response brought...
Photographs – Closing the Distance Between Family
Growing up, I was surrounded by extended family. I went to school with my first cousins, holidays were big affairs with 30 or more people in attendance because all of my extended family lived close enough to make the drive.

After Brian painted Mr. Cameron’s face, I photographed Cameron in the way I intended, a more serious tone. I also captured a couple of him laughing but in chatting with Cameron, he...
Spirit of My Child
Over the past few months, I have shared the stories of my children: Jorah, Kadin, Kalla and Rylynn. Now I will share my story as a mother. Believe it or not, but growing up in my teen years, I decided I was never getting married, most certainly never having children, I was getting out of...
Fierce Determination
As a parent, my biggest job and my toughest job is learning to let go. I have to let a toddler bumble around on two legs even when I know they are going to fall and get hurt, I have to let my two year old beller her dislike of going to bed, I have...
First Birthday
First birthdays are a super special occasion to celebrate. To think, a short year ago this tiny person came screaming into the world as a helpless infant and now he is running around, laughing at friends, destroying any sort of order you have in your home, eating solid foods and thoroughly enjoying the mess he...
