  • Laughter feeds love, so let’s laugh a lot.

    When I was twenty I travelled to France, it was there with a cheap point and shoot camera and seven rolls of film that I found a love for photography and giving that fleeting moment a little immortality. That summer led me to expand my education in photography at Sheridan College, Ontario, Canada and Savannah College of Art and Design, Georgia, USA.
    Two years later I founded ALT Designs and was commissioned by Thurston Design Studios to assist in the expansion of their Real Estate Marketing Business. After three years mastering skills and technique in digital photography, I moved with my husband, Mike and dog, Brea to the Kitchener Waterloo area. This along with the birth of my gorgeous daughter {often seen on the blog}, Emalee had me exploring new paths for my creativity.
    With the best inspiration, Em, it was pretty clear that Children's Photography felt like "home". With every image created, I try to take a genuine and unique approach. I want to give you and your children an experience to remember and a collection of beautiful artwork to cherish for many, many years!

Quilts and Ladders

A photo shoot rich in textures, patterns and personalities. “S” is a charming baby girl with beautiful big brown eyes that capture your heart. This one is a confident soul and ready to go. Although not always easy to capture a photo, “S” is a spunky babe. I just love her expressions!

I had so much fun working with all the props we pulled together. My old barn ladder worked perfectly with “S’s” special quilt.  One of my faves from this session is Mom’s boots framing “S”, when I saw those gorgeous brown (almost) knee highs, I knew I had to use them somehow.

A fun fact: “S” was born on my first wedding anniversary.

Our First Emabee Admirable Parent!

The Emabee Wish Project has selected it’s first extraordinary parent. Thank you everyone for your submissions. There are so  many parents out there deserving of some sweet honey. I have chosen a single mom, “C” this month and look forward to our shoot. She is very courageous and has a wonderful, supportive friend, “K” who believes in her and sent a heartwarming story about “C” and her baby.

Get those nominations in! The next admirable parent will be chosen at the end of June.

Two Fingers Old!

As she holds up two fingers to indicate just how old she is, tears open presents, chows down on mommy’s homemade birthday cake (which she baked at 2:30am that same day, and aren’t the candle holders adorable?), I do believe she had a great birthday celebration! Despite the semi-meltdown mid afternoon due to the sniffles, Elise was surrounded by family and friends to enjoy an afternoon of sunshine and tasty BBQ.

Life will be changing soon for this toddler, with a little sister on the way in only a month. Now that she’s a big girl I’m sure she will be delighted to help her mom care for a new baby!

Of course I look forward to the photo opportunities with the two beauties.

My guess for the big day is May 30th.

Actual due date – May 28th

When Mel wants the baby to come – NOW!!!
