UC Baby 3D Ultrasound Clinic | Halifax Maternity & Newborn Photographer

Untitled-1

I was absolutely thrilled and honored when the UC Baby 3D Ultrasound Clinic asked if I would be a feature photographer, and display my maternity and newborn work in their new Bedford location.

The patient lounge/reception area is perfect backdrop for my beautiful clients, and hopefully an excellent avenue for reaching out to future clients!

Two GINORMOUS canvases are en route, and will be hung as soon as they arrive, but this evening I was in and hung a small interim display using the images you see above.

Congratulations to Nicole and Angela on the new franchise!  I wish you good luck and good vibes for your big opening day tomorrow!!

Sneak Peek: Proudfoot Family | Halifax Child and Family Photographer

What a great session today! This was a real treat for me, as a majority of my little clients are pre-school or younger, so it was nice to change it up a bit!

Adrianne and Alexandra….two of THE sweetest girls. Very different personalities, but equally as beautiful. One a lover of soccer and exploration, the other of horses and art.

This was another word of mouth referral, after mom Shawna saw previous sessions with little Loren, Ella and Henry.

Shawna and Darryl, it was a pleasure.

Your girls are delightful and I especially enjoyed watering the flowers and making pizza ;)

And Darryl, if I may say so, you look FABULOUS with flowers in your hair.

Sneak Peek: Theoharopoulos Family |Halifax Child Photographer

First, a confession.

I get incredibly nervous before every session.

There is always a moment of panic when I worry that I won’t meet expectations. I have learned to embrace it, because the day I am NOT nervous, is the day I won’t meet my own.

Yanna and George were gifted a session by George’s sister Tina, after seeing the photos I took of Dimitra and William back in May.

I am always delighted to hear that previous clients have referred me. There is no better or sincere form of marketing than word of mouth.

Yanna was a little nervous, as her girls are typically very shy, and  so I made arrangements for a quick little “meet and greet” yesterday to introduce myself.

When I arrived the girls we hiding behind a chair, and indeed very quiet………which lasted all of about 1.34097353 minutes. ;)

In no time at all, we were having cake, reading books, talking about school, dolphins, favorite colors and Greece. And so I left, with the promise of returning to take some pictures. I think they may even have been a little excited!

Fast forward to this afternoon.

There was no more hiding. In fact, Xenia greeted me at the door!

It was a real pleasure for me to spend a couple of hours with this family.

Yanna and George, you should be so proud of Xenia, Iriana and Kyrkos. They are so charming and polite.

No drool, no tears, no shyness.

Ελπίζω ότι θέλετε!

A Little Dirt Won’t Kill Ya | Halifax Portrait Photographer

Cheryl is a trooper. I don’t know how else to put it.

Mark is pretty much a champ himself.

Can’t say I’d be so willing to sit in stank, cold, murky muck.

But …..they were, and, they did.

Looked mighty fly doing it too.

Big props to Liam, of Applehead Studio for getting down and dirty…myself and Brian Larter stayed relatively clean, but that smell…..wow. I think we all brought some of that home.

A super fun evening with great people.

Part III is gonna be…….*ahem*…..hot.

Sneak Peek: Ali and Kolten | Halifax Newborn Baby Photographer

If you’re a frequent flyer ’round these parts, you may recall that my brother, Alex and his better half Debra were expecting twins.

I shot their maternity images earlier in the summer, and today took the trip to meet my newest niece and nephew.

A four hour session, plus three hours of travel time made for a long day, but these two made it worth my while.

How cute are THEY?

I Don’t Shoot Weddings……..Yet | Halifax Portrait Photographer

I don’t. I get asked all the time, yet it is a VERY rare occasion that I will say yes.  They scare me right now.  Some day, they won’t.

But this wedding already happened! And it was time to play!

If you’re not a fan of prying eyes, or being the centre of attention, it’s probably not the best idea to take a beautiful girl in a wedding dress and stick her in the dirt.

Of course, if you did do something wacky like that, you might just get treated to a personal tour of the dockyards by railcar.

Thanks to Liam of Applehead Studio for the invitation to shoot, and to Cheryl for being up for absolutely anything……I had a blast.
