Meredith, Age: 10

Meredith and her family are some of my favourite and most rewarding clients.  Meredith is strong, beautiful, charming and has a gorgeous smile. She also has cerebral palsy as a result of a lack of oxygen at birth.  Her mom, Julie Keon, writes a blog about their journey at www.whatiwouldtellyou.com and she is writing a book.

I've photographed Meredith twice before: when she was five and when she was eight.

The love in this family is so very strong.

Olivia & family

Olivia is the tiniest, sweetest little kindergartener I've ever met.  She and her family are not afraid of a little cold weather. In fact, they love being outdoors, especially in the winter. When Olivia's mom approached me about a family photo session involving their snowmobiles, I thought it was a great idea! Mother Nature cooperated, giving us beautiful sunshine and blue sky.  Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

A family of four

I had the great pleasure of photographing this family over three years ago when they were expecting their daughter.  It was such a treat to hang out with them again. I was thrilled when they took me on a tour of their house, proudly showing off all the photos I had taken last time.



After years of trying to have children, they started the long process to adopt a child from Colombia.  Well, miracles do happen and they discovered that they were indeed expecting a baby girl. Meanwhile, the process to adopt continued and now they have two happy, fun, kind children who were born eight months and thousands of miles apart.  What a most perfect family of four.
