happy holidays | thank you for a great year!

The last finishing touches have been made; stockings are hung, baking is complete, last minute trips {or rather, hurtling feats} to the mall are done, and every coveted present {adorned with matching bows and appropriate labels} sits beneath the tree, waiting patiently to be opened {or rather, torn apart}. 

'Tis the season for Family. For friends. For loved one's to gather together and share laughs, love, stories, and wonderful feasts {perhaps even the odd much needed cocktail}. 

Once the festivities of Christmas, or Hanukkah {or whatever it is each family celebrates} draws to a close, we close the chapter on 2011 and welcome in 2012; a new year filled with endless possibilities, hopes, dreams, challenges, and goals {perhaps even the odd 'unfulfilled' or 'filled' new year's resolution}.

As I look ahead to 2012 and look back on 2011, I am grateful to all of you; all of our lovely clients and friends who have filled this year with special moments caught on camera-- the arrival of new family members, engagements, weddings, first birthday's, and noteworthy celebrations. 

A warm thank you to all of you, who have helped to make this year so special.  

I look forward to seeing what 2012 brings and hope to continue capturing these special moments in your lives.

Here are a few special highlights from our year together--wrapped up and especially for you!

Happy Holidays!

the detta's | family + adalyn's cake smash

Meet the Detta's: Natasha, Jeff, & Adalyn.

This adorable little family contacted me to capture a fun milestone in little Adalyn's life.

Adalyn is celebrating her first birthday this week, and her wonderful Mom & Dad surprised her with her very first cake. At first, she really wasn't sure what to make of it, but soon after the initial shock wore off {and perhaps after the sugar rush kicked in}, Adalyn was having a blast! In fact, I'm not sure who was having more fun!? Me, getting to capture every little expression and picture perfect moment. Or Adalyn, as she covered herself in colourful, sweet frosting. Either way, boy was this a fun shoot!

We started off our session at a nearby park in beautiful Elora, to capture a few family shots of this gorgeous family and then headed back to their home to make a mess.

I had a great time with this family and hope you will treasure these images for many years to come.

Happy Birthday Adalyn!
