Who can resist pictures of puppies!? Back in June Matt and I adopted a Shepherd/Collie mix who is a bundle of loveable energy! Introducing, Cayo..

Bruce Peninsula National Park
I came home from work at around 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon. I was slightly hungover from a fun evening the night before and was planning to take a nap. But Matt had other plans! He told me to pack a bag, since he had gotten the next day off (and I did as well) and we drove 6 hours up to the Bruce Peninsula. We had no plans and no idea what we were in for, but we love an adventure!

Danica & Nick: Engaged!
Two of by best friends recently got engaged and I could not be more excited for them! I met Danica and Nick at university back 2007 – before they were even dating. We went through university as close friends/roommates and continued to keep in touch after graduation. While I was living in Japan, Danica and Nick were just a short distance away, in South Korea. Now, I am lucky enough to see these lovebirds fairly regularly. They are the most bubbly, friendly, and easy-to-love couple I know. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity take a few engagement photos for them.
Maternity Silhouette
After taking this silent portrait of Momma and her baby belly, I’m now a firm believer in the power of the maternity silhouette shot. This beautiful Momma already has two little ones, and a Jack Russell. But between all the running around we managed to find a quiet moment, where she could take a deep breath and reflect on her last few days carrying her Baby Boy.
Read on for some tips on how to create your own silhouette shot, and to leave your comments.
Gender Reveal: It’s a Boy!
CONGRATULATIONS – IT’S A BOY!!!
This past month, I excitedly rushed to my cousin’s house to find out the gender of her third baby. (Photographer bonus, I found out a day before they announced it to everyone else!) Although the immediate family knew the gender, Chris and Cassandra wanted a few fun photos to share on their social media. After building up the anticipation by having friends and family place bets, they shared these photos to make the big announcement.
Chris and Cass already have two beautiful little girls, so I bet a boy is a welcomed change for their household!
Experimental Self Portrait
When inspiration strikes, you must take advantage – even when no one is around to model for you! Last Friday, while scrolling through my Instagram feed, I felt my creative juices flowing. Instagram makes a weekend hashtag project every Friday, and encourages you to take photos over the weekend that fit the theme. Last Friday’s was #WHPwindy. I had been looking at a lot of experimental portraiture, and having just finished my very first flower crown a few weeks prior – which I had yet to shoot, all of my creative juices were flowing, and I needed to make an image! So here’s what I created…

june dreaming
I’m in a missing mood; missing summertime, the ocean, exploring… Went looking through my old photos today and came across this, from a wonderful adventure with a wonderful friend last June. Drinking Asahi beers from vending machines on boats, running through new streets, the wind in our hair, the salt water on our lips. I’m … Read more

This is my beautiful dog, Buffy. She is a 7 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I miss her dearly, and can’t wait to see her again on December 19th (as well as the rest of my lovely family)! – Rachel
