I know I’ve said it before, but I love getting a chance to glimpse at m|k|p kids through the years. This fantastic group had their family pictures taken in December of 2011 and a year later, they asked me back for some shots before the family’s Christmas gathering. A perfect time if you ask me!

She, along with Roland and their friend Carolyn, were RCM Karaoke and KJing some of the most avant-garde karaoke around! Roland designed a computer program …

What do you do when gramma & grampa are away? Plan a secret Christmas present photo shoot at their house of course! Both Sophia & Riley have had their spotlight on the blog before, but this time the plan was to get them together and make a great grandparent gift! First we did some inside …
Calvin’s mum, Heather contacted me in November of 2010 to do a fun snowy shoot with her then 15 month old son. Then, it never snowed enough to line up a photo shoot. A bit later she emailed to say she was pregnant with Calvin’s sister and wanted to schedule a newborn/big brother shoot for …
Sarah & her mum Kathie came down from the Lakes Region to have me take Sarah’s senior photos. We had a great time walking around Exeter talking about tropical adventures and anything else that might convince us we were warm. You’d never know how cold it was that day looking at Sarah though. She’s the …
