We are busy carving pumpkins, cutting out ghosts and trying on costumes today! Tomorrow the kids will go off trick of treating. But in our house we do it a bit differently. Instead of collecting candy for themselves, they collect candy for the sugar sprite. After they get home they get to choose a few pieces of candy for themselves and then the rest goes into a bowl and is left out for the Sugar Sprite to come and get. In return she leaves each child a little toy. I started this tradition when the boys first started trick or treating because I couldn’t stand the idea of them eating all that candy! It works out great and they just love trying to get as much candy as they can for the sprite!!

Happy Halloween!
October 30, 2009The look!
October 23, 2009I am gathering pictures I love of all my children to print on canvas and hang in the hallway. I have so many pictures of Jayden and Gabbi because they are both naturals in front of the camera. My oldest son Ryan however is not (he gets that from me). When he sees the camera he makes the funniest face in an attempt to smile. Reminds me of this look 
The other day I took Ryan outside, just him and I, and I spent some time waiting to catch him off guard, waiting for the look. The natural, soulful look that I love to catch and haven’t been able to with him. I tried all my tricks. You see my favourite type of portrait is when the person isn’t smiling. Don’t get me wrong. I love smiles too, but when I am looking for a portrait, especially of my own children, I want no smiles. Because that way the eyes are wide open, you can really see them. So after a while I got it!! I was so happy as soon as I looked at the LCD and saw those eyes and that look!!!
Happy Friday my friends!!

I just wanted to let some of my up coming clients know that Old Navy is having a HUGE baby sale right now. Sizes 3 months up to size 5t. The sales are really amazing and I am in love with the selection of girls clothes this season. Tons of wonderful colour!! Clients are sometimes unsure of what they should wear, so hear are a few tips. With fall coming this is your opportunity to layer. Layers look awesome in pictures. Think really colorful tights, bright long sleeves under t-shirts. Vests and hats (I got this hand knit hat for Gabbi at Joe Fresh in the Superstore). Boots with fur trim are so cute for girls. And they have some seriously cute boots and both Joe fresh ad Old Navy. I love stripes for boys and girls!! Have fun with their clothes. It will make for beautiful pictures!

I had the absolute pleasure this afternoon of doing a photoshoot with one of my very best friends growing up. Anna and I are were inseparable as kids!! We even lived together when we both first moved away from home. Well it’s hard for me to believe that we are all grown up with our own families sometimes! Her family is just gorgeous!!!
This is her daughter Kate. Isn’t she adorable!!!! Her eyes are stunning!
And this is Anna with her husband Charles (see where Kate gets her good looks!)
I simply adore this one!!!!
Thanks guys!!! Even though we got stuck in a downpour I am thrilled with the pictures we got. I hope you love them!!
