GOTTA LOVE GWEN -06.15.07

If you know me at all - it's no secret that I LOVE Gwen Stefani. Tonight's show was supporting the Sweet Escape Tour. This is the 7th time I have photographed her and as always, she's full of energy, lots of costume changes and had a great band and some sick dancers!

for more images of Gwen you can check my blog or click here to my music site.

Zita & Keith = Love | 06.15.07

Meet Zita and Keith. 2 people who are so crazy in love with each other I couldn't stop talking about their relationship. Their love is infectious.
Our Eco-Friendly couple love the water and beach
With homes in Malta, Victoria and Vancouver, a wedding on the Island and Keith popping the question in the majestic north western coast of Italy (Cinque Terre, in the picturesque village of Monterosso) we decided to take the engagement photos by the water in beautiful Vancouver where they met!

thanks for a great shoot, I can't wait til your wedding overlooking the ocean. xox

HOT CHILD in the CITY - OTTAWA, ON

With the humidex reading at 38 - my god daughter, Katrina, pulled me out of the air conditioned house and reminded me again about the value of balance. All work and no play...just isn't right.




We took a half hour swim break before lunch :) - then back to editing it was!
I love you!!!! xoxo

TORONTO - 06.07.07 - 06.10.07

What a whirlwind!!! North by North East was a BLAST this weekend. Due to poor cell service and dodgy internet... a big sorry to those I didn't get to catch up with.


This weekend was a SUNNY fun filled music weekend, some shopping at my favorite stores, meeting LOTS of new friends and seeing lots of great bands! Here are a few highlight snaps of the weekend. I shot so much and saw so much that I am only posting a few before my flight back to Ottawa.

Thanks Liz, Peter, Lindsay, Kerry, Tracey, Jay, the crew at NOW and especially PORTER for making my visit extra special. It was so great to spend time with you. xoxo

I love my 'job' soo much, because it allows to to travel around the world meeting new faces and making new friends.
Meet the Clarksons!
a wonderful family that lives in Ottawa just down the road from my best friend. Due to the overwhelming response Facebook gave me, for my family photography site BEYOND BELLIES, I was flown to Ottawa to take several families portraits. I am thrilled to share a few.

DESTINATION WEDDING #3 for 3

It's AMAZING how many familiar faces I see at weddings. I thank you for trusting in my passion and vision and passing my name through the grapevine!! That means more to me then words can express! There is no better advertisement then word or mouth and seeing joyful photos framed around the house and gorgeous coffee table albums proudly displayed for viewing!

This weekend, I ran into so many familiar faces and met new faces from both previous, and up and coming weddings. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this group of friends, parents and people I see I will be spending the summer with!

Melanie & Sascha's wedding in September
Joanna's wedding (these are her parents)
as well as Alex's sister who just got engaged a few weeks ago who's nuptuals are next year in Maui! Congrats guys!!!

I also met people who knew and attended past weddings like Shanni & Mike's and Julie & Dan's and the upcoming Jennie & Kelly's - who have seen my work and have paid me nothing but the most beautiful and wonderful compliments. Thank you!!!!

I would also like to congratulate Alexandra and Don for allowing me to share in such a lovely ceremony mixing religions and beliefs that make a 10 year commitment, a love for eternity!
Special shout out goes to my buddy Pierre, and his friend from CNN for the scotch!!

and the Dr.'s for all their hard work

Have fun in Greece, Don and Alex - can't wait to see you again in a few weeks! xoxo

Whiskey & I are blessed, I know...

Off to Ontario on Monday.. Looking forward to seeing all my facebook friends again and doing all your portraits!
