Happy near-anniversary, Roxanne & Michael!

Roxanne is my only sister, my baby sister, although we're only a year apart in age and she hates me calling her that now that she's a grown woman.

While trying to put together a wedding portfolio, I've been going through the photographs that I took at their wedding last June, and realized that their first wedding anniversary is coming up soon!

When I look at their photographs, I can't help but re-live that day as if it was yesterday. As soon as I look at the photographs of their first dance, I inevitably start humming "La vie en rose". They really had the sweetest afternoon of a wedding. It was really more than I could have ever hoped for my sister, and I'm so glad that I refused to have anyone else capture that day so that I could have all of these photographs to look at whenever my little heart pleases!

Take a look at these... what a perfect couple they are!

Shannon & baby Lola

Shannon came to me today with her brand new baby girl. I swear if she had to, she couldn't pick me out of a line-up tonight because this new mum was completely enraptured with her new baby girl, and never took her eyes off of her! I can't complain... this new bond made for some gorgeous photos. Here are a few previews, Shannon. I hope you're getting some sleep!

Ah, new mums! I always finish these shoots wishing I had a little bundle of my own, but the cats will just have to do for now. Here's something you can add to the list of "Things I didn't know about Josée": Not a mom yet.

I also assisted Andreas at a wedding held at Canoe restaurant this weekend. I should have some samples of work that I did that night on here by tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Welcome to the blog world, self!

I have a blog! I thought this might be a clever way for my current and potential clients to have a read about what I've been up to, and a peek at what's been in my viewfinder lately.

Business has really picked up since I've gone digital. I've really seen my work evolve in the past year with the addition of my new digital Nikon, coupled with my growing digital darkroom skills. It's incredibly liberating as an artist to be able to shoot my little heart out without having to worry about the limitations of film. It's been great to give my recent clients the pleasure of flipping through up to 50 or more images, as opposed to the past 24-36.

I know that my website has been static for some time now, and hope to be able to update the photos in my galleries to reflect the work that I've been doing lately. So keep coming back to see things change in the weeks to come!

For now, I'll share some of my favorite shots from the past month. Kyala was one of the most beautiful little baby girls I've shot. The greatest thing that came from the shoot was the variety of expressions I was able to get from her that day. We saw it all! Smiles, smirks and those pensive quiet looks that made me fall in love with those gorgeous big eyes of hers.

Enjoy!
