Mini-Sessions in Riverside Park: In Love

December 4, 2009 by Shelley | 4 Comments

Back when it was warm and sunny, and the flowers were in bloom, I held some mini-sessions at Riverside Park. One hour with me and your photos on disc. It was so much fun, I will definitely do it again next summer! Watch the blog and my Twitter for announcements when I’ll be holding them again to reserve your space. These ones went quick.

The first couple I’d actually met before – at my Boudoir Marathon in July! She loved her photos so much she wanted to come back for some portraits with her boyfriend. These two are always fun to work with and as always, it was nice to have a repeat customer.

The second couple I had visit me in the park for photos were two high school sweethearts. They were smokin’ hot too!

I love love love the photo of the two of them kissing in the ‘forest’. I think it is really romantic.

Remember to comment and make me donate more to the Guelph Food Bank who is always looking for more to help those who need it in Guelph.

Family Photos | Riverside Park | Guelph

This young family met with me last weekend for a mini-session in Riverside Park in Guelph. Their adorable children were a pleasure to photograph! We had a beautiful day too – what a great opportunity to enjoy the picturesque parks Guelph has to offer. Here’s just a few!

Summer & Brett | Langdon Hall Wedding | Cambridge

August 30, 2009 by Shelley | 3 Comments

When Summer and Brett met with me back in June, I knew in an instant we would hit it off. They are a couple that know how to have fun. You probably recognize them because I posted their engagement photos taken in downtown Guelph here. Once August rolled around and it was time for their wedding at Langdon Hall in Cambridge, I was pretty excited to see them tie the knot.

In an intimate ceremony, Brett and Summer exchanged their vows. Before the ceremony they met for their photos taken on Langdon Hall’s gorgeous property, and I was able to capture Brett’s ‘first sight’ of Summer. I had a great time photographing their wedding, and meeting their families. It wasn’t hard to see how both of them were such great people once I met their family and friends.

Summer’s mother helped decorate – she did an amazing job!

Like I mentioned, Summer and Brett know how to have fun! Who doesn’t like a quick game of croquet before you exchange rings???

Stay tuned for more from their wedding very soon.

Lena – Another Littlest Hero

July 12, 2009 by Shelley | 3 Comments

I met Lena and her family through the Littlest Heroes Project two weeks ago. We visited a park near their house and took some time to play on the playground. Lena and her two brothers and her Mom all had a lot of fun with me, and each one of them was a total ham in front of the camera!

Magdelena (Lena for short) has a long list of abnormalities. Her heart, lungs, kidneys, bowel are all misshapen. Her heart issues are called Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome. She has asthma and is hard of hearing.

To date she has had no surgeries, and she has been living just like a normal kid despite her challenges.

Her spice for life is contagious!

Only 2 spots left in the upcoming Boudoir Marathon!

July 9, 2009 by Shelley | 1 Comment

It is hard to believe the response I’ve had for this most recent Boudoir Marathon taking place July 18th and 19th in Guelph. There are only 2 spaces left!

If you are on the fence about whether or not to have photos like this taken, I invite you to send me a note or give me a call with your questions.

If you are considering having ‘baby belly’ photos taken, this is an excellent option! Book yourself into a boudoir slot and we’ll consider it a maternity session. It’s a great opportunity to use a beautifully appointed luxury suite setting. Ask me about the maternity session sepcial for this marathon coming up.
