I've been so neglectful of this blog lately with all that's been going on in my personal & professional life.  I can't miss out on posting from this session though. I first photographed this family last year when baby H was kicking around in Mommy's tummy. Gotta love this family; they welcome me into their home, make me feel like part of the family, so comfortable, so relaxed, and I think it really comes through in their images.

I suddenly became very interesting -must've been the click of my shutter.

An unusually serious moment for E.

There was just a little bit of time for some outdoors fun before...

...moments later, he was out like a light.

Yep, my little guy turned 6.  Hard to believe, but true.  Wish I could post all the pics from his party at the local indoor playground with his little friends & *girlfriend* (that he likes to smooch...and declared her love to him in the sweetest ever homemade card).  A great time was had by all; it was a lot of work for Daddy & I to keep up with 5 little ones at a place that size -especially after the pop & cake were consumed.  Luckily, there were plenty of games and activities to help wear off the sugar rush. 

I'm really excited - well, almost as excited as we all were above on Gavin's very first roller coaster ride -about the premier of my brand new website!  I've literally been working on the new design for months, going through about 4 years of client photos to choose my favourites & represent my current direction with the company.  I'd love to know what everyone thinks!  Turn on your speakers & click here: www.choochoophotography.com/  Enjoy!

Defender of the defenceless, snuggler of the snuggle-less.

Always on the ready, to help human kind.

It's, Super Gavin!

Thank you Super Gavin; thanks to you, the world is a better place.

Had a recent meeting in TO and decided to explore the CN Tower while we were down there.  Standing at the base with the clouds moving in just the right direction brought back the same feeling of vertigo I remember feeling my first time looking up at it when I was nine!

This kid has no fear; loved the elevator ride up, the glass floor, and would've crawled up the wire mesh had we not stopped him.  No fear. 

The Moocher eyes his next victim...

...and strikes with lightening tongue!

When asked what his favourite part of the day was; chasing the pigeons of course!   Ah yes, chasing pigeons was well worth the $35 ticket fee.  Kids.

What's the scariest thing about these images?  Not the ghosts, as you may have suspected; instead, it's the fact they were taken on October 22nd.  Snow in October.  Nice.

Just a small peek at the many big changes taking place at Choo Choo Photography!

Three months is such a great age -smiling regularly, not mobile enough to roll away on me, and who can discount those squeals & belly laughs??  Awesome-ness! 

Baby C was very cooperative with us for his shoot, and we managed quite a variety of images.  I was hoping to get one of him sleeping when I arrived, but the little monkey woke up just as we walked into the room! 

Thank you B family; it was a pleasure spending time with you on such a lovely day!

Oh yeah, the "Double Sneak Peek" - notice anything different on my images?  Just a tiny sneak peek into a whole lotta big changes! 

...you ask your nephews to "model" for a few pics with you.  One, you get your 5 year old actually wanting to be in the pics for a change - making every silly face imaginable, of couse - and Two, you get two teenagers giving you "Blue Steel" and "looking far off like magazine ads".  Nonetheless, I treasure these pics -my handsome nephews, one just started University at Guelph, and the other (can you believe it??) just starting High School. 

Above:  all three have the "looking far off" thing down pat.

Below:  He was actually joking around here, but hey, it worked!  We're expecting a phone call from Elite or Ford any day now. ;)

Here we go, finally, a very nice shot of the two of them.  Love you guys, you're such great kids!
