    What a fitting tribute to your mom. Wonderful photo!

Justin & Lisa | The Family Edition

Durham Region PhotographerThis time when I ventured out to Justin and Lisa’s place, the whole fam was there.  I hadn’t seen Caleb in a few years and wondered would he be shy, quiet, not want anything to do with me.  I shouldn’t have worried.  Immediately he questioned if I had ever played COD (For those in the “not” know category, that’s short for Call of Duty.)  I may have fibbed and told him I was the COD champion in the Durham Region.  Soooo, needless to say,  he immediately challenged me to a COD match and well, I had to regretfully (read: Thankfully) decline.  I was there to take photos. (read: I was scared out of my pants and need to practice before I take this kid on!)  Maybe he (read: I) will feel more comfortable if we played Super Mario Brothers or something like that.   Now if COD involves any of the activities in the next photos I could be in a lot of trouble:

LOL, he’s a sweet kid who loves to play regardless of whether it’s a video game or running or beating his dad up.   He’s got some pals around the house that he loves:

And well of course his new little sister. (That’s my girl…FIST PUMP!)

(I forgot pics of the turtles – Romeo & Julie. Lisa, I just named the turtles!  I think it suits them!!)  Anytime I go over to Justin and Lisa’s I feel welcome and comfortable and probably overstay my welcome. Funny, they’ve never kicked me out, well at least not yet!

I think this next pic says it all…

My Friend Tara + The Fam | Orono Family Photography

When your friend asks you to photograph their family there is always some added pressure.  I’ve known Tara now for hmmm…about 1/4 of my life.  (Not that long, considering I’m still in my 20s. AHEM)  We met while playing slo-pitch and we played on the same team forever.  But alas, all good things must come to an end and with time comes changes (read: falling in love), different interests (read: boating/fishing on the weekends with said love), new babies (read: adoption of cute doggie).  So, alas ball took a backseat and we lost a great ball player. 🙁 BUT we didn’t lose a great friend.  Tara is one of those people who is smart, beautiful and a great person.  If we needed her, she would have our backs in a second.  We all know that…and there is always a spot on the ball team for her (hint…hint….hint…)when she decides to come out of retirement.

We traveled to The Orono Crown Lands.  Oddly enough it’s a spot I’d never been to before, but managed to find myself at for two shoot in a matter of 7 days.  Funny how things happen like that!  What’s even odder is that the couple I ended up shooting there a week later, saw us, and wondered aloud if it was “Elaine from Elaine Eve Photography”.  So random! But back to the pics.

Tara, you have a wonderful family (I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that), but I hope it’s nice to hear anyway.  Now, on to the photos!

Meet the matriarch and patriarch of this wonderful family – mom and dad.

These next few “leaf”  shots, ALWAYS make me smile.  I love the look on mom and dad’s face.  Just utter enjoyment.  Says so much to me…

I think someone may have needed a little nap after the wrestling, and I don’t mean the kids!
