The Golden Hour is my Happy Hour

I had a most magical "Don't Trash the Dress" session with Montreal High Fashion Retoucher and Graphic Artist, Kate Mc Laren. She was ecstatic to help with our project.
In case you're wondering if I retouched the retoucher-absolutely not. She really is as beautiful as she appears on film. L o v e l y!

I can't wait to work with her again on some projects in front of the camera and behind the computer screen.

Thanks again, Kate!

Tony and Jasmine

On July 25th, 2009, the Hotel Grand Pacific held all sorts of surprises!

The day began with our groom, Tony, doing some R and R for men- 9 holes of golf at Royal Oak Golf Course. He didn't have his best game ever- but at the end of the day- we all know who won!

Jasmine had her hair styled to perfection at Fashion Focus and then followed by a make-up application at MAC by artist Jenna Cade.

You have to know something about our bride- she's crafty! Jasmine has been planning meticulously and secretly coordinating all of the details including choreography with her fiance, Tony!

Jasmine looked so pretty in her Maggie Sottero champagne lace gown and her chocolate brown Delicious stilettos.... That was dress one!

Dress Two, was Jasmine's Princess Dress that she had dreamed about wearing her whole life topped off with the sexiest hot pink stilettos and a feather pin in her hair. She dressed like a princess but wore both gowns like a queen!

The wedding was officiated by Don Gunn who put together some beautiful vows.
Here are a couple of sneak peaks from the day...

Wishing you happiness, Tony and Jasmine! Hope you had the time of your life*!
Thank you to Photographers, Helene and Shealyn who helped me with this event!

Connor

I love this little guy! He's four months old and he already is Mr. Personality!

We had such a great time at our shoot I just had to post a sneak peak for you all to see. I have some photos of his parents too but this one just made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too!

Nolan and Katlin are engaged!

Nolan and Katlin met on a fateful St. Patrick's Day at their favourite pub. Katlin was chilling out by a Mentos vending machine with her friends and it tipped over on her. Nolan came to her rescue, grabbed the vending machine, and swept Katlin off her feet!

The story of how they met has turned into a great story for them to tell their fans!

The two love-birds have been having a great time ever since they met!

Nolan and Katlin are so playful, fun, and totally crazy for one another! At their engagement shoot they had such a great time chasing each other around (as well as that shy peacock) , stealing kisses, and hugging in the sunshine.

Congratulations on your Engagement and I can't wait for your wedding this September!

Independant Baby

The Nine Month mark has really made me realize that my baby is becoming a very independent little person. She sneaks into the diaper bag and steals her favorite crackers, demands to hold the bottle herself, and likes to help me diaper her. What's toddler-hood going to be like? What is teenage-hood going to be like? I'm enjoying this every step of the way! This stage is my favorite stage....I've been saying that everyday since she was born.
I love being a parent.

First Father's Day

I would like to wish my loving, amazing, and supportive husband a very Happy First Father's Day! You are such a great father to Kennedy. I love seeing your big strong arms holding our sweet little daughter. You work so hard for our family.
She's the best part of you and me. Love you with all my heart!
-Nicole

PS: Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. Especially those celebrating their First Father's Day.
