Little pebble upon the sand
Now you're lying here in my hand,
How many years have you been here ?
Little human upon the sand
From where I'm lying here in your hand,
You to me are but a passing breeze.
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself.
Now you have my blessing, go your way.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs, happiness runs.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everybody is a part of everything anyway,
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Why ? Because.
Why ? Because.
Why ? Because.
Why ? Because.

From my experience photographing different clients, I always find something special about each one. Sandra is no different. She admitted to me that she had some reservations about having her photos done and even having some of her pictures used on my blog. It wasn't until she started the session, and saw the results that she realized how wonderful she felt and thought if she felt this way, there has got to be others that are in the same situation. Sandra has agreed for me to use these photos and her story.
"What made me decide to do this Everyone is Beautiful session? At age 46, I found myself single, raising four small children and feeling anything but beautiful. I met someone special who makes me feel good about myself and has given me enough confidence to go forward with booking a photo session I have realized that these photos were a gift to him and also to myself as well!
Where are things now? Well my children are still my life and I work full time in a fulfilling profession. I love my life and look forward to another 46 years! Yes, I am happy! The photos captured that and I think that speaks volumes of your abilities. You truly are a modern day photographer, not going for the old traditional standbys, but instead capturing the beauty that is in front of the camera!"

I had the opportunity to work with Mary & Ben this past weekend, and to spend the most important day ever with them. I am working on their photos but thought I would share this one shot with everyone. Between the rain and wind we had a tough time getting the shots we wanted outdoors. Mary had her heart set on some beach shots, and we just finished and the heavens opened up and down poured, with no shortage of thunder and lightening. It was a fun day and I will post more shots later as I go!
Angela:
I love the fedora on the groom! So cute!

Professional Bridesmaid :
:-) Great Shot! Cannot wait for more!

Karen:
Congratulations Mary & Ben! Cannot wait to see the rest of the photos :)

I was so excited to have finally meet this couple after emailing back and forth discussing wedding details for the big day next summer. I love to get to know my clients along with their style before the wedding day comes along. E-Sessions are included in my packages for this very reason. I cannot wait for your wedding day Erin & Jeremy as a photographer & a friend.
During our Engagement shoot I learned a couple things:
1 * Jeremy loves cars and has one called the "Green Lady" - see photos!
2 * Erin loves Jeremy and in turn will love cars too.
3 * We all hate mosquito's.
4 * This was only the second time they had their photos taken professionally in 10 years of being together!
Erin had written an amazing review about our session and posted it to her facebook the very next day and I was more than excited to see it. It once again reinforced how important my "job" is to be able to capture all of these special times in peoples lives. YAY!! Following is her write-up!
Yesterday Jeremy and I got our engagement photos done!! **exciting exciting** I know but for us it was more then that! U see Jeremy and I have been a couple for 10 yrs and in that 10 yrs we have only had our professional pics done once before ... sounds sad but the reason is not because of time,money or what have you. It was because they turned out using a better choice of words .. HORRIBLE! I have always been nervous about being professionally photographed and since then feared the end result and well Jeremy just never really liked it to begin with..lol
Finally, when the moment I have dreamed of and waited for came along and Jeremy PROPOSED!! <3 I instantly started my search ... not for the right dress, location, or colors but for the right PHOTOGRAPHER! As many of you know I did my research and asked around and Thanks to my good friend Colleen I came upon some Wedding photos done by Rachel Peters. I looked at these photos and instantly loved them!! that night I went home and showed Jeremy her website not knowing what his thoughts would be or if he would even care ... It was like magic as the photos started to scroll through an AMAZING one popped up on the screen of a Bride sitting in an old abandoned car on what I believe was a Trash The Dress shoot. Well as soon as Jeremy seen this he was sold! Jeremy's second love of his life (after me) is his car which is a very sharp 92 5L Mustang we have appropriately named the "Green Lady." Jeremy has owned his car for 8 yrs and it has been apart of his life basically as long as I have. Without question it is going to be a very important part of our BIG DAY so much so that I have even picked the Wedding colors to match with the car!!
Anywho after seeing this photo and all the others I emailed Rachel to book our date knowing she was 100% the right Photographer! Since then we are now all booked "YAY" We have been following Rachel's shoots on her Website/ Blog and kept intouch through Email/ Facebook (of course).
What I would like to let you all know is... for me Rachel's modern, fun and creative personality has always shined through her photography ever since that first moment I laid eyes on one captured by her but, yesterday was our true testament. We were soooo comfortable and really able to be ourselves to the point where I forgot the camera was even there! almost 2 hours of pictures quickly passed by like it was 5 minutes and even though we sat in positions and places we don't normally do on a regular basis it was not a horrible experience like the last, rather it was fun, exciting and full of laughter at times!! I have not seen even a glimpse of the shots Rachel took yesterday but there is not even an ounce of fear in me about these ones! Rachel does incredible work and if any of you need a photographer I encourage you to contact her www.photographybyrachel.com ... I have no doubt in my mind that you too will fall in love with her ability to work a camera just as we have!
Thank You sooooo much Rachel and Kim for everything yesterday!! words cannot completely express how grateful we both were for the experience! Keep shootin for the stars!

When M showed up at my place for an "Everyone is Beautiful - Boudoir" Session, I thought, she didn't mentioned she was a model? M told me that she wasn't a model, but I thought she could easily pass for one. She had such an easy going personality as well as was stunningly beautiful. I have a ton more beautiful photographs of her but because these are strictly confidential, we have chosen to show you this following one. The following is a message from M, and how she came about choosing to do an "Everyone is Beautiful" Session with me!
"When I got engaged, I spent a lot of time visiting various wedding sites and blogs from all over the world. One of the trends that I noticed was brides-to-be were no longer choosing traditional gifts for their future husbands, but instead opting for things like boudoir shoots. I thought this was an interesting idea but never considered it for myself as I wasn't the right person or body shape to do such an intimate shoot. Despite the thought passing, I still admired the people that took part in these sessions.
Time passed and I was still struggling with a gift for my fiance. I discussed the idea of a boudoir shoot with some friends and close family members, and they all agreed, "why not?" These people made me realize that the flaws that I was fixated on about myself, were nothing and my fiance loved me for being me. With my hesitations behind me, my search for the perfect photographer began...
I started searching across the Maritimes for a professional who I would feel comfortable with, as well as would fit my style. When I came across Rachel's site and received my first email from her, I knew that I found the perfect person! Her warm and inviting tone and her enthusiastic ideas were contagious! I immediately felt at ease with her and knew that I made the right decision.
Our wedding day is coming soon and I am so excited to give my husband this gift. This whole experience has taught me to love my body the way it is, rather than what I think it should be. I've learned that Rachel's Everyone is Beautiful Session is just that and I cannot thank her enough for helping me realize that."
