Jenn and Matt

When we booked Jenn and Matt's engagement shoot for the long weekend we never dreamed the weather wouldn't be anything but warm and sunny. It rained all day and was cold and windy
Normally we would just rebook but Jenn and Matt live in Ottawa.
The shoot was booked for 5:00 , the rain stopped at 4:00 and held off for the entire shoot.
Jenn and I found out that we both believe in THE SECRET and are POSITIVE this was the reason.
If you look closely I am sure you can see their goose bumps. These two were amazing they didn't complain once. They told me later they were sure it had to do with a couple glasses of wine they had before the shoot.
The wedding is next month at Queen's Landing in Niagara-on-the-Lake and we are POSITIVE after these conditions the wedding day will be a "piece of cake."

Sad Shoot

This is little 'N' ,one of my baby planners. This was a sad shoot as it was his last session. ''N' has moved to Toronto with his Mommy and Daddy and came back for his final shoot. It has been a pleasure watching you grow and photographing these early stages in your life. I will miss you-please tell Mommy to bring you back for a visit!

Thank you!

I would just like to say thank you to all my clients for all the Birthday e-mails, face book messages, phone calls and cards! You are all amazing and it has been such a pleasure meeting and photographing you and your families.

Thank you to my husband and White Oaks for the wonderful Birthday! If you have never been to White Oaks I highly recommend it. The service is beyond excellence, the Spa is a dream, the food is to die for-and the room! Well lets just say I could move in tomorrow.

A very special thank you to My husband and Becky for my gift!!!!
Anyone who knows me can tell you what a HUGE fan I am of Stephen Dominick and his work. I have taken.... a few (LOL) of his courses at Brock.-John and Becky will tell you his name is mentioned on a daily basis in our home.
Guess who is taking our family portrait this year! I can't wait.

Thank you to all my Brides and Grooms for the all the FUN filled engagement shoots. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for Bridal Season to kick off! (15 more sleeps!)
Each of my 14 couples are so full of excitement and personality, I know each wedding will have its own flare and unbelievable "Money Shots" (and wait until you see the dips this year-LOL)
I am trying my best to get you all on the site or my blog!

To all my Baby planners ..... I am enjoying every minute. It is such a pleasure seeing these little peanuts grow and being able to capture moments in their lives is truly and honor.

Looking forward to capturing many more moments with you!

Vanessa
