Kara + Stuart

Kara and Stuart are another perfect example of why I love my clients. They are just the nicest couple and so much fun to be around! More clients that became friends.

They got married on a warm Canada Day in 2010 at the lovely Schinvelder Hoeve. There were so many emotionally touching parts to their wedding, and it didn’t help that I was pregnant at the time. So I might have shed a few more tears than usual… I couldn’t help it! They are just so in love and so close to their friends and family. It was contagious!

Thanks again Kara and Stuart (and Pushkin!), for letting me celebrate with you and your crew. I know you’ve added some more furry children to your family, so I think we need to schedule a family portrait session the next time I’m in Ontario. Shoot, that’s reason enough to come visit, right? =)

Since I’m really behind in blogging my recent work, I thought I’d do a big post with some of my favorite portraits from the past couple of years. I want to thank each family for letting me work with you and for being the best subjects a girl could ask for. You’re awesome!

My two sweet dear friends from back home got married in May 2010. I was so glad that I got to be there to celebrate their love. These two were definitely made for each other.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 2 years since we took the last photos together. These are a few quick shots we snagged at the Schloss Dyck this last weekend. We’re going to do a few more photo shoots together before she heads home in a couple of weeks, so look for those to be posted soon.

Love ya sis.

The Wilcox Family

The Wilcox family met me at Kasteel TerWorm in Heerlen, The Netherlands for some quick family photos before they moved to Hawaii. What an extreme location switch!

Can you spot the photo where Benji is proposing marriage? He’s such a loving kid.

This picture perfect pair tied the knot back in January. I was actually friends with Christina’s sister, Jenni, before I met her. Their family is so awesome! They’re the kind of people that just radiate joy and it makes you feel great to be around them.

Here’s the reason I’ve been lagging in blog posts and whatnot. Meet my beautiful daughter Lucy.

Anne + Patrick

Anne + Patrick flew all the way from New York City to marry near Anne’s hometown here in Germany. The reception was held at the beautiful Schloss Dyck, where we took advantage of the amazing gardens and architecture for some wedding portraits.

Ilan + Yael

When I first met Ilan and Yael, I immediately noticed how warm-hearted and kind they are. I was very excited when they informed me that they had decided on me as their photographer. (This was my first wedding in Switzerland and my first Jewish wedding!)

It was such a pleasure to work with them. They were very laid back and gave me free rein with my ideas for photos. When I had my alone time with them to do photos in the city, they rocked it! Even in the moments that I wasn’t suggesting positions, they came up with their own and did some great acting/modeling too.

Thank you two very much for an amazing time and for your incredible hospitality.
