Christmas Minis


I had a great turnout this year for my Christmas photoshoots.  I owe it all to one of my girlfriends, who every year asks me if I plan on taking photos.  She's the reason I do what I do.  For years she has trusted me with taking her family pictures and I am grateful to her for always encouraging me to keep doing what I love doing...despite how time consuming the entire process can be.  It’s a lot of work to set-up, organize the day, make sure my own family is occupied and then once the shoots are finished, I’m left with hours of editing.

Regardless of all the work, the day went really well.  My own kiddies were happily entertained by my hubby, my mom and of course all the visitors in our home (they knew quite a few of the families). Surprisingly the weather held out, everyone was on time and their sessions ran smoothly (for the most part).  When taking pictures of young children you learn to just go with the flow…sometimes the best photos happen in those moments you were trying to avoid – like a complete meltdown!  

A highlight of the morning was the coffee and timbits my mom brought over for all the families.  It made a lot of people very happy!  In the end everyone was pleased with their photos!  Here’s a preview of some of the images I captured…















  



Thank you to all the families who participated this year!  I truly enjoyed being able to take your family photos.  Even better is seeing all the Christmas cards begin to arrive.  


Have a great weekend!

To My Grandpa on his 100th Birthday

    On Sunday my grandfather turned 100 and we had a beautiful celebration.  I promise to post photos from the event once they are ready...I can hardly wait to see them!  Today I decided to share my speech completely unaltered.  If it sounds like I'm talking, it's because I literally recorded myself talking to myself about my grandpa...then I typed out what I said - almost word for word.  It truly helped me to speak from the heart and talk about the memories I'll have forever...   For my grandpa on his 100 th birthday…   My grandfather was born on February 18 th , 1918…fast forward about 64 years, and that’s when I came into the picture.   And that’s where I’m going to start.   My grandfather has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember.   At a very young age my mom and I moved into a neighbourhood in North Mississauga.   Not long after my grandparents moved into their home just one st...

Tasca Park

    A couple weeks ago it was a beautiful Sunday morning and all I wanted to do was pack up the car with the entire family and head out to enjoy the day.  I was thinking something really fun - like heading to Center Island.  The reality was we were completely unprepared for any kind of outing...especially one that required planning ahead and being organized.  Instead we decided to save our Island adventure for another day (maybe even another year -ha!) and got to work cleaning up some things around the house.  All those really boring things I hate doing on a Sunday, but those are the same things you're grateful you did when Monday morning rolls around.    By the afternoon we were feeling ready and prepped for the week ahead but I still had that desire to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.  My hubby and I decided to throw the diaper bag in the car, fill up the water bottles and head out to one of the local parks in Caledon...

Last Minute Ideas for your Christmas Elf

A little mid-week blog post…Just like last year I wanted to share some quick and easy last minute Elf on the Shelf ideas.   I totally stole some of these ideas from friends and family but tis the season for sharing!   Enjoy!! Ball Pit!  Elves only! I've been doing a lot of yoga lately so I thought it would be fun if our Elf joined in on the fun! Our little guy Jack loved this one!  He wanted Timbit to wash all his cars! I've seen this one used a few times and I think it's a great idea!  The kids were really excited to fill the box and once it was full, they started a second one. They kiddies played tic tac toe all day!  And then they ate the marshmallows (I used edible ink). We let our oldest three kids finish the pack of bubblegum!  So of course this idea was a huge hit.  The count-down to Christmas is on...Enjoy the rest of the week!
