I just LOVE this kid!!

I know, i can sense your eye roll from here… What kid don’t I love, right?

But seriously…this kid’s kind of awesome. Duck faces & all.

Say it isn’t so! You know you can’t!

♥

Let’s get back on track here… after all, this handsome little man didn’t come alone, and this Blog post is, after all, titled ‘Ross Family’ – so let’s not forget about Mom & Dad!!

(Though, since our first ever meeting for a maternity session ended with “You’re cool and all, but it’s you’re baby I’m really after…”, and they still called me back – I think they get me! We’re good!)

The day was unbelievably beautiful and sunny, ALL day…. that is, right up until a half hour before our session! The temp dropped, the fog and clouds rolled in…I was waiting to hear the thunder claps and downpour of rain.  It rained for maybe all of 60 seconds, and there was no thunder to be heard, so we decided to go for it, and just have fun with it – after all, everyone was all ready!!

I’m so glad we did!

We got some great shots, and as you can see… my favorite little man wasn’t going to let a little bit of weather (or a photo session) phase his plans! ♥

Wayne & Tracy were made for each other.

The way they talk and interact, the way her face lights up when she tells the story of how they finally got together, and the way his eyes seem to smile as he watches her tell it… They make movies about this stuff!!

♥

Naturally, I was delighted to have the opportunity to capture all that and more, on their Wedding Day.

The day was beautiful, and every little detail was just so perfect and personalized.

Both Wayne & Tracy were so calm before the ceremony, and if they were nervous during it, you’d never have known. There was barely a moment that they weren’t looking into each other’s eyes, just beaming, ear to ear.

Tracy had her Mother’s wedding gown altered to wear during her ceremony. She also recently had a tattoo done, in memory of her father, which earned her the title “The Bride with the Dragon Tattoo”.

After the ceremony, Tracy quickly slipped into dress #2, grabbed her husband, and snuck away from the crowd to catch some fun shots of just the two of them, and distract the Groom.  Tracy had quite a surprise up her sleeve…

That’s right ladies & gents, that’s Rene Rancourt!

After the shock wore off, autographs given and Bruins cake eaten, there was dancing to be had… and this Bride & Groom came to dance!

It was an amazing and beautiful day that I was blessed to be able to share in, and now i get to share it with all of you!

Congratulations Wayne & Tracy!

Its been pretty quiet on the Blog lately…  Too quiet!!

I’ve been keeping busy with sessions, Wedding meetings & prep, planning some Summer Portrait Parties, and also have a lack of progress studio to update you on…. (Ugh!) But I’ll stick that in my pocket for another day, another Blog post!

Right now, how about a peek at a fabulous little girl’s first Birthday session?!

I warned you… I said she was fabulous!

I can’t believe you doubted me…

♥   ♥   ♥

So here’s a little back-story… sometimes fabulous requires sleep. It takes a lot of energy to keep all that fabulocity flowing. This little lady was so excited about our photo session, that she could barely sleep the night before! Like… at all.  So, we made some adjustments and moved quickly so she could go home, catch up on her Zzz’s, and we’d continue to catch her, in all her fabulous-ness, another day.

As you can see, it was a, dare I say… Fabulous plan!

(ok, ok, I’ll stop!)

Before you go though…

This little lady’s actually not quite one. Her Birthday’s coming up soon though, so make sure you catch your kiss and wish her a very Happy Birthday on your way out!
