Fire and Ice Imagery: 2009

Family Ties, Knots, And Other Such Stuff....

My sister asked me to do a few pics for her, my neice Kayleigh, and boyfriend Shawn, and how could I say no? So I shot them in my basement, and the pics turned out great. Here's a look....

My neice is such a photogenic kid, but not much for posing, so I told her to just be crazy and this is what I got......

Did I mention that this wonderful family is now being "officially" blended? Shannon and Shawn are now officially engaged, and I couldn't be happier for them, and for Kayleigh. What a beautiful family!

We were fortunate enough this August to be able to "get our feet wet" with photographing weddings. Isaac's sister Jenifer and her husband Dion tied the knot on August 15th, and we were there to capture all of it!

The cake topper was so neat! Jenny was glad to get this pic as it broke shortly after....

Two of the cutest flower girls ever! (OK, maybe I'm just a teensy bit biased, the blonde is my daughter after all, and the brunette my neice...)

Cake cutting Newfie style, Dion?

Jen & Dion, you guys are a beautiful couple, and we are so glad to see you so happy. You had a beautiful day, and here's to more beautiful ones to come!

...He's so damned cute I don't know how I couldn't, a million times! Maybe I'm biased, but I think my son Ethan is one of the most beautiful newborns I've ever seen, right from the top of his red head to his wrinkly little toes. I realized time is slipping away, as it does faster and faster with each baby it seems, and I wanted to get some newborn pictures done before he's too big to look "newborn" anymore. Lareina offered to do the shoot for me, because really, I think, Auntie Reina was just looking for an excuse to snuggle my fusser! Her pictures are gonna make mine look like they were taken on a Polaroid, I'm sure, but it was a blast just to be able to shoot alongside her.

Getting prepped for the basket pics - he peed on her backdrop! So I gave her one of my stinky garbage bags to take it home in. I'll buy you some laundry soap, Reina.
