a splash of colour

Our yard has exploded into an autumn colour wonderland.  The little fella walked down the trail with me yesterday collecting the prettiest leaves we could find and his big brothers followed behind on their bikes.  On feet or wheels, fall is certainly here - you can smell it in the air and see it blazing in the trees.

Time to head back.  I'm not sure why the big boys opted for their snowmobile helmets instead of the bike helmets?!

Taking a short rest... those little legs get tired after all of that running!

summer mode

July has come and gone in a blink ... practically every single day was filled with some place to go or something fun to do.  I am a summer girl to the core and have been basking in the summer heat in between working, celebrating birthdays, roadtrips, camping, celebrating our anniversary, a wedding, and keeping my little guys busy.  As a result, there's been very little time to blog.

I'm excited to see where the second half of Summer 2012 takes us...

together at sunset | Engagement Session

This is my best friend's little sister and her hubby-to-be who I will be seeing again in a few weeks as their wedding photographer! We had a fun evening along the tracks with a gorgeous sunset for their engagement shoot in beautiful Beeton, Ontario. These two lovebirds are so silly and the fact that they completely adore each other shines right through these photos.  I'm looking forward to seeing you both again on your big day!!

It's not very often I get the opportunity to capture a silhouette here among the tall pines and towering poplars, yet Beeton is the perfect spot for the creativity to flow at the end of a session.  :)

NOTE: train tracks are normally a dangerous location to photograph clients, but this particular line is completely safe -- the local steam train only rumbles into Beeton on Sunday mornings, much to the delight of my three boys! ;)

little sis has a new house | Ottawa Valley Child Photographer

And a big yard for peeking through the grass.  :)

Or running around... that works too.  Either way, their new home is lovely and the property is equally beautiful!!   (Not nearly as beautiful as my niece though!)
