I`m a new man....

well maybe not a new man but at least I`ve got a new back! Yesterday I finally got my long awaited spinal surgery. I must say my doctor , Dr. E. Wai is a amazing person. Not only can I feel my left leg and toes again but I have very minor pain as of now. Thank you so much to the staff at the Ottawa Civic Hospital, your all amazing!

My Daughters First Concert

Yesterday was my daughter Lily's first concert at school. What a blast, for the past month she's been telling us it's a secret what songs she's going to be singing. Well, it's not easy being a four year old with a secret so every time she got excited (about twice a day) she began singing her songs. Very cute if you ask me! So yesterday she had her big day, the moment of truth. It was great, you could tell she was nervous but once the show started all the kids did great. The occasional missed word, louder voices then the rest and of course all together stop singing to wave to mom, dad and little brother Myles but it sounded perfect to me! Great job babe!

Yet another great couple to work with.

I'm so blessed, this past September I shot a wedding for the Jennifer and Dean Hart. Well recently the best man from that wedding contacted me from Toronto and asked if I would shot his. This is the biggest compliment you can get in photography. Awards come and go but referrals last forever! I'm so honoured when a couple who have been to a wedding I shoot hire me for their own. Well this is no different, at Jennifer and Deans wedding I met this great couple. I recently met up with them to shot their engagement photos. I think It was about -30, I thought my hand was going to freeze to the camera! I'm so glad that this couple agree with my dislike of snow...we only shot a few outside before going in.

Dinner and a photo

Last week friends of ours invited my family and I over for dinner. What a feast! I hope I get more invites, wink wink:) Anyways since we were there we took some family pictures for them so they could send them out for the holidays. Enjoy.



Oh so cute Hanna!

Ferguson-Swain Baby On It's Way.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing a childhood friend of mine well she is 8 months pregnant. It was pretty surreal to see a friend that I've known since childhood one month away from being a mommy for the first time. It was only two years ago that I was a groomsman in her wedding and now she's about to be a mom. Life goes by so fast but rarely do we take the time to sit back and reflect on what we've done. Today that's exactly what I did. I reflected on all the great people I've be blessed to have been touched by. Two fantastic kids that are growing up to fast, a wife that has been in Florida on business for the past week but continues to call to tell me she loves me. A father that is doing much better since his near death this past March, a mother that continues to be a pillar in our family. I've got great in-laws that are so supportive and friends that are more like bothers and sisters. All this to say that I hope little Sophie is as blessed as I've been.

Calabogie Peaks Wedding

Well last night I was thrilled to be able to shoot the wedding of two high school friends, Casey and Kelly. About a year again they approached me with the idea of me shooting their wedding. Wedding photography can be a stressful day at the best of times. Add to that two people that you grew up with and know about 80% of the people in attendance. I think for the first time I got really nervous. It was kind of like when I shoot my first wedding. The funny thing was these are two of the most kind and relaxed people going. Well the wedding was beautiful and it was great to see so many old friends. It felt like a school reunion wedding...if that makes any sense?
