I’ve decided that this year instead of doing one big blog post of my favorite work.

I’m going to post my top 10 favorite moments and images.

This first set of image, I have talked about before…….but I think it deserves a second mention.

This first look between Christina and Pat makes me cry every time I see it!

I truly believe that a “first look” on your wedding day can be one of the most emotional and exciting things you can do as a couple.

Christina and Pat wanted the first time they saw each other to me intimate and personal. It was only them, the maid of honor and best man for this moment…..and of course me!

The passion that came out in the moments after…….was awe inspiring.

This is a moment that makes me love my job.

Come back soon to see more of my favorite images from 2011!

Last minute bookings……….and intimate weddings are my favorite. Corinne and Hasseeb were married October 1st in an evening ceremony.

There was no bridal party and the entire event was held at a fantastic little place called WISH. Oh and don’t even get me started on the Bollywood dance at the end of the evening!

Corinne and Hasseb were fantastic to collaborate with. They totally trusted my vision for their images.

Thank you Corinne and Hasseeb for having me document your wedding day!

Deb and Simon and their crew were so much fun to hang out with on their wedding day.

Deb’s style and grace was something to be in awe of… she was stunning.

It was a joy to be a part of their day.

I can’t believe my son Henry is 9 months old! It seems like just yesterday I was shooting my last wedding with a giant belly and swollen feet.

He has to be one of the easiest babies……he sleeps/eats and giggles.  { you can cross off the sleeping…..he has had a relapse in the last couple of days. Oh and the teething……his last episode had all four top teeth come in….that was fun. }

His latest development is crawling and couch surfing. I knew this day was coming and I have been dreading it. Up until now I’ve been able to plop him down in one spot and get some work done.

But now…….not so much work. I try to get a bit done everyday. Check a one or two things off my list.

So as promised I will now admit that I am not a super mum! { To check out waht I’m talking about go to my fellow Photographer Chenin’s  blog post }

I routinely go until 2pm without showering. I eat my son’s left over banana cereal because I don’t have time to make my own. I secretly fantasize about running away for a couple days just to get some work done. I keep trying to give my son a soother hoping that one day……..he will take it back and I will no longer be his personal pacifier. I could go on.

I thought being a wedding photographer was action packed…….I had no clue what being a mum would require a degree in Psychology and 6 months cardio training.

I love my son. Henry has brought more joy to my life in 9 months than my entire 35 years has given me. But he sure does keep me on my toes.

And now I must run because he is just about to pull the tray out of the blueray player and my loving husband will have a heart attack.

Enjoy the pictures…….

Now for some out takes……

Crawling is making this harder.

Sometimes he isn’t even in the shot. I want to get this one as a HUGE canvas for Henry’s wall.

Like I said I have about 3.5 seconds to get the shot now.

If it tickles your fancy….please leave a comment.
