Video Gallery Preview ~ Chelsea, Quebec Family Photography

I just love putting these together! I feel that it just adds that much more to the whole overall experience of custom photography and one of the many reasons why you choose this route over the big chain photography shop. So here is the video gallery preview for the beautiful Chelsea family I photographed over the Easter weekend...

Baby "K" visits again ~ Ottawa Baby Photographer

Way back in February I had the opportunity to do Baby "K"'s newborn session. Even though she was 17 days old back in Feb, she was a beauty to photograph - sleeping for us like a charm and cute as a button... or so I thought then. Well fast forward to last week and I had another opportunity to visit K again, and WOW is she ever cute now!!! I tell ya, she will keep her parents a hopping when she is older!! Again she was a charm to photograph, I could have stayed all day... but I think mom would have thought that was weird!! ;) Here are a few of the extra shots I went to get for her Mom and her beautiful little face! Enjoy:

Baby Madison's 8 Month Photo Sessions ~ Ottawa Baby Photography

I'm desperately trying to catch up on proofing, ordering and blogging and it's tough with 3 little kids, a husband and a dog to take care of! Ok the husband can take care of himself, but the rest do need my full attention all the time! Of course, I did have to take time out this week for my baby's own photography session, and it lasted a whole 2 days!! She was subject to my set changes, outfit changes, tutus, and necklaces and was amazing about it!

On the first day I had a friend of mine, Danielle, come up and shoot with me, as I thought it would be fun to have company. On the second day, my eldest daughter helped me out by getting her to giggle and wipe her drool when needed (teething in full swing here!). Here is a little glimpse at some of what I captured:

Contest for a free session!! ~ Ottawa Family Photography

Ok, so we all know the havoc that they Icelandic volcano is causing all over the world. I'm really glad I'm not trying to get to or from England right now, as I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be for people!! But, a volcano can result in some amazing images. One of the sites I love to surf is this one from the Boston Globe: the Big Picture. Each day features a major news story and tells it through some pretty amazing photographs!

I was taking a look at it today, and thought if anyone out there can call me and properly pronounce the name of the town mentioned in image #4, and I quote:

“A car is seen driving near Kirkjubaejarklaustur, Iceland, through the ash from the volcano eruption under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier on Thursday April 15, 2010.”

They will win a free family session and digital images. Honestly. Free session and digital images. And, yes, I know 'exactly' how it should be pronounced so just try me... :)

Sweet Newborn Girl 7 Days Old ~ Ottawa Newborn Photographer

This sweet little newborn baby girl was well worth the wait! I was so happy to be able to photograph her as her parents are old friends of mine, and they worked so hard to get her!! Their persistence was well worth it, she was beautiful. However, I think she'll give them a run for their money, she's a determined little girl, but it's all part of the fun!! She LOVED to be awake and watch the world go by, but we managed to convince her that sleep was much better... and finally she agreed! Here are a select sample of what we captured last week, enjoy!

I'm Back and Jumping for Joy! Chelsea Family Photographer

I'm back from my two week un-planned vacation due to a hard drive failure and I couldn't be happier! I kind of missed being “connected” and felt a little like I was missing out on things, but honestly I managed to get a lot of things done around the house that needed to be done, and I can’t say enough about the weather we had, so really the timing was perfect! In the end my hard drive was totally dead, and as a result I purchased a new computer.

During that time, I shot one family and two newborns, so I have a little catching up to do! I will start with the awesome Chelsea family I had the pleasure of shooting over the weekend. It was the perfect time for them as they had their family visiting from out of town, and they wanted to take advantage of this to capture some memories of 3 generations of women! The weather was perfect, they were great sports and here is their sneak peek!

Temporarily Off-line

So if you've noticed a short absence in my blogging lately, it's because my computer's hard drive crashed on me, and what I mean by crash I mean totally died!! I'm not sure why this happened, I guess it had had enough and decided to just quit! So I'm waiting for a new computer to come, one that have a new hard drive, faster and more processing speed, which will be nice for working faster and more efficiently!

So in the mean time, I'm shooting and having to download my images at my parents place, I'm so thankful they are so close and willing to help!! And hopefully I will be back to posting pictures sooner than later!!

I think I'll now prepare a post about backing up data and the importance of it!! ;)
