Well, well, well guess who grew up and guess who wasn't ready for it, yup me!  Our oldest grandchildren Grayson 18 and Tayla 15.  Where oh where have the days gone because I swear it was only yesterday my oldest daughter was tellling me she was pregnant for the first time and in the blink of an eye we suddenly have two teenagers and with Grayson turning 18 this year he's really an adult not a teen.  They are two of the best humans I know and yes I'm a little bias, they are afterall my oldest grand-son and grand-daughter.

When your much younger and may I add crazier friend, has baby number three!  Meet Ardie Ross.  Little brother to Axton and Alby.  Ardie arrived with a ton of gorgeous dark hair any mother would be proud of. Parenthood comes natural to these two I swear they can take on anything life throws at them.  Axton too is such a natural when it comes to welcoming his little siblings.  You can tell by the way he holds his little brother that he's taking it all in his stride.  Alby on the other hand - well he wasn't too sure, after all sharing his daddy for the photos was very To View More >>

Big brother and sister Kade and Bailey were overjoyed to be finally meeting their new brother. Both had turns at holding him just To View More >>

Where do I even start with the wedding of Andrew and Melissa?  Melissa had asked me soon after my first daughters wedding if I would also capture hers and of course that was a given after our intial meeting with herself and Andrew.  I absolutely loved working with these two with Melissa's infectious smile which made every encounter with her full of fun and Andrews insight to what he wanted in a photo making my job capturing their day a pleasant and easy one. Their wedding was held at Daltons Plantation in Matamata and what an absolute delight to be working To View More >>
