Ok, so I'm a bit of a hat addict. A bit of a scarf monger too. And I seem to have a bit of an issue with old chairs as well...

All that aside, this little baby showed up today and it was all I could do to wait until I had a moment to throw it onto a willing head.

So I thought I'd share the results with you :-)

Voila - un chapeau magnifique!

And the girl ain't bad either :-)

Enjoy!

Yep, it's that time again. Plaids, red ribbons, patent leather shoes...

Holiday pictures!

Here's a quick Sneak Peek for K and B who brought their two little ones to me for the first time last year, and who I was so pleased to see again. It never ceases to amaze me how much these little suckers grow in a few short months. Amazing.

Anyway, enough blather :-)

Enjoy!

Ok, it's the busy season. So does that mean it's a little nutty around here?

Is the sky blue? 

Is water wet? 

Does a wild bear...well, you get the point.

So yes, nutty it has been and nutty it continues to be. That being said, it is time to catch up on a few Sneak Peeks!

I went to visit the W family an had a wonderful time playing in their backyard. I got to climb on playsets, be Darth Vader and make angels in the grass. My kind of session.

E, here is your Sneak Peek. 

Enjoy!

Just. Wow.

If you know me at all, you know that I am particularly partial to redheads, having two little redheads of my own. So you can guess that I enjoyed photographing Seb.

I had the opportunity to photograph Seb's other sibllings last year, so was more that happy to get a chance to photograph their globe trotting bro.

And of course, the wine on the deck after the shoot provided by P & H doesn't hurt either!

Thanks you guys, and enjoy!

I know you all have noticed the lack of posts on the MP blog lately, but between being crazy with sessions and being laid up for a bit (whiplash from a car accident) I have neglected the blog a bit and I am now trying to catch up! So thank you for your patience and all the sweet emails asking where I've been!

You all know I love the new squishy curly ones. It is one of my favourite things to do - to photograph a brand new soul. 

Thank you J & B for allowing me the privilege.
