After hearing the wonderful story about this little boy and all his parents went through to finally have him I am even more in awe that I usually am.  This little one is truly one of life’s little miracles!

So instead of just sharing an image from their session I thougth I would give mom a sneak peak of the front of their birth announcement.  I can’t wait for you to see the rest!

I have to say there are two weeks every year that I just can’t wait for, one is Christmas and the other is Cottage Week!

For all our busy lives, crazy plans, running around carting kids from one pool party-day camp-play date to another this week everything comes to a screeching yet much relished halt.  Kids swim, big boys play with their boats and moms eat and pleasantly wait for happy hour to eat more!!  I love it.

This year it rained a bit more than we wanted but hey my four year old learned to play Uno, my two year old learned how to happily disregard a ‘fine’ covering of sticky wet sand and I devoured two books (um along with several bags of potato chips )  Ahhhh.

Needless to say I brought a camera (or two).  Here are a few from our week with my husband’s family.

Hi ho hi ho….

Finally!! I have been dying to show you all some of the images from Father’s Day at My Bubble!!  Tomorrow the contest goes live!!

As many of you may know the studio has been closed for a few day now while my family and I were away but now we’re back and ready to rock!!

I thought I would take today as a chance to get you all caught up on what’s been happening, and what’s new.  I had an amazing time at the Mommies Lounge Show yesterday.  I met some amazing people and saw tons of great new products!  I literally had to force myself to not spend another dime!

Here are some of my favorites:

www.ribbonheadz.com – fantastic non slip headbands!  Love love love them, and the best part…my daughter wears them and leaves them in!

www.optimallifechiro.com – fantastic people, really know their stuff and right in Whitby

www.miglio.com – beautiful South African Jewlery

www.whitbymontessori.ca – I love their philosophy and even thought we only got to chat for a moment the women were super nice.

I want to give everyone a quick reminder about our Cutest Bubble Kid Contest.  It’s quickly coming to a close (June 4th) so if you haven’t had the time to register and vote yet now is the time!!

And now what’s a photography blog post without photos!!

You asked and we couldn’t resist!!  We’re going back to My Bubble Party and Play Pad and just in time for Father’s Day!  If you missed your chance last time don’t miss us again!

Oh My Goodness!!!!  Can I tell you how much fun it was to be at My Bubble Party and Play Pad this past Wednesday?!  Five hours of non-stop adorable kids! It was amazing!

We have been talking about this for weeks but for those of you who don’t know  we held an exclusive Mother’s Day portrait event at My Bubble last Wednesday.  It was a fun and unique opportunity for the moms and kids who frequent My Bubble to have portraits taken and stop in to play all at the same time!  What a hoot!  The moms were great, the kids were great.  I can’t thank My Bubble  enough for having us out, and basically letting us take over a good third of the store!!  We will definitely be back!  ….hmmm I think Father’s Day is just around the corner…..  Keep an eye on our blog because this definitely won’t be the last time you see us there!

Now on to the kids.  A-dor-a-ble!  That’s all I can say!  More cute kids in one spot than you could imagine.  I can’t decide who’s is the cutest. Really.  They all won my heart and so now I need your help.  Help me choose the cutest bubble kid and I will give them and their family a completely complimentary portrait session AND an absolutely fabulous Image Bag!!!

Check out this bag…

Quite possibly the cutest thing ever!
