Lots of families come in the studio everyday, and their idea of a family photo will range from "traditional" to "crazy fun" and everything in between. Never be afraid to tell your photographer exactly what you want. I have had many families tell me flat out exactly what they want, and what they do NOT want. That is the best way to go about it, sure I have ideas....but my idea of your family standing in a massive field of hay may be not what you had in mind. Maybe you saw your family sitting on the ground leaning up against a brick wall! Let me know!

That is the best way to go about your family photo, call us up, lets brainstorm some ideas so that you have something awesome to hang on your wall!

A nice quote from Nora about her family photos, that fits perfect..."We look crazy, but hey that's us. If you can't have fun then stay home right?"

I really believe, that family photos are very important to have, I'm not just saying this from a photographers stand point, but because I value my family photos so much as well. We had our first real family made this year, and we love it. It hangs in our home proudly, the only problem is I will run out of wall space by the time next year rolls around.

I would like to have one main family portrait every year as my son grows up, one main large photo. I have some ideas of how I can do that and not have a big photos needing to be hung on my bathroom ceiling! 

I'm very excited about this upcoming summer, my sister is getting married and my family will finally all be together for the first time in a long time. We are going to plan a nice big family portrait and all kinds of individual family portraits...I wonder who will take it? hmmmmm

I shot the wedding of Holly and Errol last August, and since then they have been busy starting up a beautiful family. They came by before Christmas to get some shots of Jack and some family shots.

I have a super funny story about their wedding! They were the last of 3 weddings I had in one week, I started on a Wednesday in Ingonish, the next was a Friday in and around the Sydney area, and their wedding took place in Port Hood on Saturday. I was very excited for all 3 weddings, until I got crazy sick on Tuesday!

So, long story short, I got through all 3 weddings..almost, and with the help of some awesome brides. Everything was going great on Saturday, I was on the mend, full of meds. Until right before the last dance when I decided to have some strawberry shortcake, because I was feeling good. Unknown to myself, I had made myself temporarily lactose intolerant! Well, the pain hit and I hit the floor...

In between dances I would go behind the staging and lay down on the floor! It was the worst pain I ever experienced in my life. The next day, the doctors were surprised I even got through it...lol...

Just goes to show ya, don't eat restaurant food before a wedding!
