Living in a small town farming community | If you ate today – thank a farmer!

Across the road from us we have a field of corn, down the road more fields just filled with grains and beans.

The sky this evening was almost mesmerizing with the clouds, slightly overcast yet a gorgeous light grazing over the field.

Gone But Never Forgotten… We Miss You Grama Zmija

10 Years ago today, we said a very tough good bye.

After such a hard fight, Diane went to join her mom in heaven.

There isn’t a day that goes by that we do not think of you, wish you were here and yet are comforted knowing you are watching over our family, especially our little ones.

We will always treasure our time we had with you XOXO.

Sending you so much love, hugs and kisses all the way up to Heaven.

A photo shoot this evening with the littles… just for YOU!

Happy 3rd Birthday Becker! | A Dog’s Life

Today our fur man Becker turned 3 years old!

Truth be told, this is a very bittersweet week for us. Just 5 days ago our boy Elwood passed away, 3 years ago. Today on the day of our boy’s birthday, his best friend Hazel passed away, 1 year ago. RIP to our doggy angels up in heaven watching over us. We love you and miss you.

To our boy Becker!

I know Elwood picked you for us, you fit in with us perfectly, you’re laid back, fun, loves the beach and swimming, relaxing in the back yard, playing with the kids, protecting your family and kicking back on the couch!

Happy Birthday to our boy, we love you so very much!

Beach Bird Life On Lake Huron | Port Elgin

Cottage Life… sunrise and sunset with the beautiful birds on the water.
Although these birds are quite beautiful and a pleasure to photograph, they are extremely dirty on the beaches.
Thankfully once summer is in full swing the birds know they need to stay away and we are able to enjoy clean sand by the waters edge.

Enjoying the sunrise early one morning and the sunset one evening.

Good Morning On The Beach | Lake Huron Sunrise

I can admit I am not the best morning person. However there are those off chances that the photographer in me is up with the early songs of the birds when the sun is just beginning to peek out for the day.

This past weekend I felt incredibly blessed to have woken up at 530am and took a walk to the beach. The birds were happily singing, I was even so lucky to meet a Geese family of 11. They became my morning subjects. There is something about the silence, the sunshine, the tranquility of the early morning. Alone on the beach, not another soul around. A very energizing and creative morning to share with these beautiful birds.

My absolute favourite image of that morning… and yes I have many more to share!

Apple Blossoms Growth | 2014

Growing up with apple trees in my parents back yard, although I loved to climb and run through the trees I never truly stopped to appreciate the beauty right before our own eyes.

The tiny buds on the trees beginning to open, the flowers beginning to bloom. The beauty of new life.

Now as an adult I am able to enjoy this beautiful miracle right in my own back yard, with my own children.

The Spring Bloom | 2014 New Life. New Beginnings

There is something special about every season, especially when you are a photographer.

Spring means new life, a brand new start, amazing possibilities. I love walking our property to see all the new flowers, buds on the trees, brand new trees growing and enjoy the birds singing.

Tonight my lens of choice was the Canon 100L f2.8 Macro – this lens is razor sharp! Fun for not only macro but also for portrait or lifestyle as well.
