Catching Bubbles

Play time with my little girl. It still amazes me to see the delight the kids get from blowing bubbles.

Happy Holidays!

Oh Christmas Tree...

I decorated the tree with the kids last week. It wasn't without incident though. I nearly poked my eye out when assembling the tree together. But that's a story for another time. I've always loved decorating the Christmas tree and still do. My girl started off the decorating this year and we all finished off the tree when my oldest came home from school.

Fairy Princess, The Destroyer

I made a felt crown for my beautiful princess this morning. Knowing she would probably destroy it by the end of the day. I took a few pics of her wearing it. The lovely crown unfortunately didn't even make it until evening. About an hour later, she had pulled apart the little embroidery design on the front. Oh, well... Note to self, don't bother embellishing anything, until she gets older.

Little Guy Stands Up

So my little 9 month old is now able to stand up on his own. It's wonderful to see how proud and happy even a baby gets at its own accomplishments. As for me, although it's my 3thd munchkin, it never get tiresome to watch them achieve major milestones. I think he will be walking by Christmas...

Autumn Colors

I'm one of those people that prefers cooler weather to the oppressively hot and humid weather of summer. I get physically ill during the heat waves that we get here in Montreal. Autumn is my season, possibly because I was born during this season. I love the clothing, being able to wear cute scarfes, hats and gloves. And of course all those cute choices in coats. Most of all I love the crisp air and the changing colors of leaves. Going for a long stroll with my camera in toe is always a favorite activity. Then going back home, having a hot coffee and eating pastries while editing all the photos captured on that walk is a perfect way to end the day.

Mini Session With My Munchkin

I set up a quick photo session with my youngest to takes pictures for his baptism invitations. This is the result. I selected the first one for the invitations. It is a happy occasion after all, so a smiling photo is probably best. Although I have to say, I adore the expression on his face in the second photo.

It's The Simple Things ...

The best things in life are free, or almost free. My oldest had been asking  to make homemade lemonade with me. Who knew such a simple activity could take away the worries of the day. My baby girl and my toothless (he recently lost his two front teeth) 7 year old helped squeeze, stir and taste test. A good time was had by all, including me. I was totally in the moment. No to do lists on the brain, contented by a simple relatively mundane activity.

Words Of Wisdom

First Post

This is my first post here on this new blog, this new journey I am looking forward to.

Since my youngest was born in January, I have much fewer hours to photograph with purpose. I have done a few 365 projects, photographing still lives, nature, portraits and everything in between. The one thing I can always have a few minutes to take pictures of, is my kids. Taking portraits of the kids for a few minutes every single day, gives me a bit of the creativeness I need on a daily basis. That will have to do, until my little one gets a little older. Adding a third child to our little family sure did change things. I'm struggling a lot more to strike a balance with, well everything!
