Kinley -- The Warrior

This weekend I had the absolute honour to shoot a session with little Kinley. He is seven months old and gone through more than most of us would in a lifetime. He certainly is a brave little man and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to spend some time with this beautiful family. Kinley was diagnosed with Leukemia several days after birth and was recently in remission only to be fighting it again. Twice in seven months, he has gone through Chemo Therapy and is now waiting to ensure that it worked for a second time.

This family is stronger than I could have ever imagined. The beads in the images, Kinley has collected from each and every procedure that he has been through. I was shocked at the number of beads.... He certainly is the Warrior the beads say he is. Such a sweet precious little boy. Kinley's mother said to me that she is so thankful for the smallest things, such as when he latches on to one of their fingers. We must all remember that life is full of tiny moments that we carry with us always.

As Kinley can not leave his room at the Hospital right now, the images were all shot in there. I look forward to another session with Kinley and his family when he is healthy and enjoying life as he should be --

Tuesday.....

Last week I spent the day in Niagara with some models and a whole slue of photographers who get together to share knowledge, laughs and just great times. The weather could not have been any better! It is so inspiring to be around others who share the same passion that you do. I imagine that it is the same for anyone when you have such a strong interest in something, it's very refreshing to be around others that share your passion.

Here are some images from the day...

Little Mitchell

I also had the pleasure of spending some time with this little guy this weekend.... Mitchell is four weeks old and so sweet! His parents drove in my Delhi for the session and he slept the whole way here! I was impressed. He was very good with getting his pictures taken as well -- Sure there were a few tears, but overall -- He was just perfect!

Thanks Tracie and Kyle for the opportunity to capture little Mitchell!!!


















And his slideshow...... Just Push Play....

Sarah....

I was trying not to post until I could share the very exciting news (previous post) but there are some technical delays so it'll be a little while longer until I can share. Sadly...

It's Sunday evening after a long weekend of.... Studio Openings....Blue Jays game, shooting and editing. So, I've got some images to share, however I am exhausted! The rain yesterday afternoon cleared just in time for Sarah's session for her new headshots, the lighting could not have been more perfect. I always call it movie lighting when it's like that. It's just too perfect to be real....

Here are some images....
