This couple celebrated their one year wedding anniversary taking the wedding photos they never took. We marched through High Park on a beautiful lush Autumn day and we didn't have to worry about the time, or ruining the dress, and since it wasn't their actual wedding, they saved a ton of money because we all know that hiring a wedding photographer for your wedding day isn't cheap! One-year-anniversary-wedding-photos really should become a "thing". Your first wedding anniversary is the year of the paper, or in this case, photographic paper, ha ha ha, so it's perfectly appropriate! And let's be honest, who doesn't want an excuse to wear that big dress again?! Realistically, so many people are disappointed with their wedding photos, so one-year-wedding-anniversary-photos are a great idea to get all the pictures you wish you got on your big day but didn't because you ran out of time, or you didn't hire the right photographer, or you were just so damn stressed out that you just wanted to get to the reception to get closer to the wine. Take a look through this collection and you may just be convinced!
Adelaide's First Haircut
We finally did it! Adelaide had her first official haircut at the age of 4! Of course we had to document it!! We were able to cut enough to donate! She is so happy that she can pass along her hair to a child who has lost theirs. It really gives meaning to an emotional experience making it much easier to let that hair go! What an adorable experience it was! I brought her to The Loft on Queen St where she was treated like a little Queen. It was too cute. I'll let these (unedited) pictures tell the story! Just wait until you get to the bottom to see the results!!
If you are thinking of donating your hair, stop thinking about it and DO IT!! It takes about 5 or 6 donations to make ONE wig. You will not regret it. And if your child is making this brave and amazing choice to donate their hair, contact me and I will come document their experience for FREE!! That's right, I will waive the session fee which is a $250 value! Now go make that appointment!! 'Tis the season after all!

Trick or Treat!
Oh my gooooodness I love Halloween!! I love photographing my girls on their adventure! I do it every single year! And this year was so cute since they were both old enough to understand. Adelaide was a pro actually. Watch the adventure of Red Parrot and The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water as they run around the neighbourhood screaming "trick or treat" followed by a polite "thank you"!
Adorbs!
I really appreciate all the houses and neighbours who get involved and decorate and dress up! It makes the kids so happy!! And sometimes hilariously terrified. Little kids wearing layers of clothes waddling around collecting candy and having so much fun is probably one of the cutest things I have ever seen and it's my favourite night to photograph my girls!! I also love that they aren't old enough yet to count the candy, ha!
It's incredible how much they grow in a year!!
