Courtney 2011 Grad- Fredericton Graduation Photographer
I had the BEST time last night photographing Courtney who hired me to do her grad photos as she is graduating this upcoming year. Is it already going to be 2011?
Apart from being obviously gorgeous, she was so relaxed and funny! She had alot of people helping her out…well helping me out actually. Thanks John (Dad), you were great with the reflector! And Courtney does skeet shooting (not sure if that is the correct term) and so she brought her gun to the session! Yes, that would be a semi automatic… not loaded of course. Dad won’t have to worry about her when she leaves for college! 
A few for a sneak peek and more to come. I just started proofing this session and have so many favorites so far!
Thanks Courtney… for going with the flow, trusting me and willing to be a bit daring!
gorgeous girl… gorgeous light!
Love me this old barn! Yes, she could be a model I do believe!
And a cool Truck!
And yes… her and I waded in the water. Not easy with those slippery rocks! I still laughed and thought it was fun.
I will share more when I have shown her the gallery. I think I may have it done earlier!
engagement session- fredericton Photographer
Brad and Kari found me through a friend. The way most of my brides do. I only take on a few weddings each summer, and this year their’s is the only one I am doing and I have to say after finishing proofing all of their engagement session photos I am pumped for their big day and to take part in their wedding. FUN FUN!
Just a few of their images we took. They live out west and will be flying home for their big day. I think they both thought I was a little crazy but I also think they are a ton of fun and will be great to work with!
young and hip!
in love!!
best friends…
a couple…
and about to get married!
congrats you two. Can’t wait for the big day.
Little ones and families - Fredericton Photographer
I have to say the weather has certainly been cooperative this summer compared to last. There has been little rescheduling so far due to the wonderful sunny days we have been having.
Getting to hang out with these two little guys was a blast! They were very well behaved but very much into exploring, climbing and of course when you see a pond and there’s rocks, then one can’t resist to throw some in.
Big brother was very smart for his age and was open to all sorts of discussions.
And he was a very loving older brother to Mr. S his younger brother!
They also knew how to play and have a lot of fun! One of my favs!
and there were more laughs and quite moments.
Beautiful smiles!
And one beautiful, sweet mom that I so enjoyed meeting!
I love what this does to my heart when I look at it! It kind of turns to mush!
Thanks Amy for bringing your boys to the park for some quality hanging out time!
Where do they go? - Fredericton Photographer
Do you ever wonder what the little babies I photograph grow up and look like. Well you may not but I often do. So when I get to go back and visit them at 6 mos. or a year or even later it is always so much fun to see how they have changed and grown.
Miss E. has definitely grown in a year but I also think she looks alot like her newborn images. She is gorgeous for sure. But how could she not with these gorgeous parents!
Oh the anticipation of expecting your first child. There is no other feeling that comes close!
Then they arrive with all the wonder and sleepless nights that come with it! Yet oh so worth it.
You blink… and a year has gone by!
With each day that passes they become even more gorgeous to you. Filling your soul, the piece you didn’t realize was missing.
They make you say and do things you said you would never do, but it’s OK because now, you simply can not imagine life without them.
What was life like before them you ask yourself?
Before….
…the sleepless nights.
…the constant worrying.
before the hugs, cuddles and little laughs that make your heart dance.
As parents we all ask the same questions.
But… maybe it is best not to ask, but rather enjoy each moment we share, always looking upon them as a gift. The best gifts that life has to offer!
Family Fun- Fredericton Photographer
I am happy to share a sneak peek of a family session I recently did. I have known Jill for a few years as our daughters go to school together. She and her husband Chris are wonderful parents who make it obvious that their children and family is their focus in life. The love for their children is so apparent, as is the fun times and pure enjoyment they get out of spending time together as a family.
Chris is always taking the photos so Jill wanted a chance to have him in some and I think we managed just a few! Actually a ton and I am having a hard time narrowing down the ones to show here on the blog.
The girls loved to give Dad “knock-down hugs”. There was a ton of hugs, tickles and kisses. All this makes it easy to photograph the natural interaction of this family. When my clients can relax, have fun, and even act goofy, I love the result.
Check out some very fun pictures below. Jill, Chris and their two sweet girls Miss J. and Miss A.
Miss A has the BEST sense of style for an eight year old! Check out the shoes!
Miss J was definitely a mama’s girl! And what a great mama she has!
mom and dad have one of those relationships that you can tell they are friends first above all else!
OK I could go on and on with this sneak peek but then there would be nothing left for them when I show them the gallery!
Thanks Jill and Chris. I had a wonderful morning with you and your beautiful girls! Thanks for letting me capture your wonderful relationship!
Kids-mini sessions and more- Fredericton Photographer
Well things are getting busy with all the nice weather we have been having. I did a mini session for fathers day and the spots filled within hours of sending out the email. I will be doing more so watch for them. I am finding them alot of fun, to see so many faces in a morning is very different for me. To shoot in a 10 min time frame is very different for me. The idea of doing mini shoots was a bit scary to me at first who’s typical session runs from one to two hours! But I think we got alot accomplished in the 10 min. When you have such wonderful clients, who arrive on time with their cooperative children… it all works out perfectly. Even the weather held out just until the last session. Take a look at these wonderful kiddos.
and a few moms and a Dad joined in!
More sneak peeks to come. I have been getting to meet lots of new little ones… and then some I already know.
Shanyn’s kids are on my blog page topper and I got to see them once again. This was a family session with the grandparents and I will be showing more soon.
and Mr. D who was a bit quiet and laid back. I think we still managed to elicit a few great smiles from him.
Baby Love- newborn Fredericton Photographer
Do you remember these two wonderful little ones! I loved photographing them!
Well they have grown up a bit! And I was so excited to get to see them again!
It is hard to believe how fast little ones grow! But time flies!
Can you say “huge eyes”!
I continue to look forward to seeing them grow!
Puppy Love- Fredericton Photographer
Well I guess I am beginning to step into doing pet photography. There seems to be a few more clients lately asking to have their pets included…. and Daisy was my first puppy this year to be my model. I have an 11 year old dog so I get how important our pets are to us. They are part of the family and they love us unconditionally.
I did a photo shoot of Maureen and miss g two years ago and was so happy to be able to hang out with them again. This time there was three. Daisy being only a puppy was excited to be out running around. Miss G was very good with her and she loved to follow her around. Plus she even listened at times!
Miss G and some pretty light!
Mom and daughter have a wonderful relationship and I am glad to have the chance to capture it.

I can’t wait to show you your gallery which will be ready soon.
Busy- but love it {Fredericton Photographer}
Now that the weather is getting nice and the days are warmer the photo shoots tend to get more frequent. I have to say I love it after a slower winter time. Getting outdoors is so much fun.
I had a great week photographing twins, a sweet girl and her dog and a wonderful family. Stay tuned for those images.
Since Lisa and her family have now seen all of their images I thought it would be fair to show a few more from their session. I can’t tell you how beautiful this family is! inside and out! And wonderful to work with.
A collage to show off a few from the session. I told you Mom is gorgeous!
and an announcement I designed. Love this sweet image of baby K.
Letters to your children- {Fredericton Photographer}
I know I sometimes post things off the topic of photography but I try to maintain a blog that showcases my clients as well as who I am. When my children were young, a very large part of who I was involved scrapbooking my memories. I adored creating art, the paper, glue and ability to put it together, adding words and stories to make it a beautiful piece of art or memory for my child.
Since beginning my photography business the task of recording written memories and pages for my children have admittedly waned. I miss it dearly and want to try and reintroduce it into my life in some way. Scrapbooking, however, is much too daunting of a task for me at the moment and finding this site of Bev’s seems to provide an answer to the balance I am looking for. Her site truly inspires and excited me in jump starting this.
I adored reading through her posts and plan to frequent Bev’s site often. A photographer herself she has a wonderful blog named FRIDAY’S LETTERS and it is intended to
help us begin the process of recording our thoughts to our children with a letter each friday.
Go check it out. I know I will try and make an effort to visit, and answer the little questions she poses in the form of letters for my children. I hope I can give myself permission and time to do this. My children are worth it and I think it is a form of therapy for me.
I will try taking some pictures that relate to my letter as well. What a fun project for us mom’s or dad’s. Let me know if you try this out and how you make out with it!
Happy Friday!!
