Merry ” Kissmas” – Love, Nevaeh and Eve

Finally, after mass neglect in the land o blog- world – I have decided to take some time and put up something to make not only myself…but hopefully a few others smile:) The lack of posts was mainly because of finishing up as many orders and albums as I could in time for Christmas, as well as all the little bits of personal stuff…..Christmas shopping, wrapping, redoing the girls’ playroom ( in time for Christmas…ahhhh)! as well as refinishing a bunch of furniture, painting 3 rooms as well as our kitchen…that one took 3x; I just couldn’t get the darned colour right!

Amongst all the chaos we managed to get the girls scrubbed clean and in front of the camera….I brought in a lot of helpers; 3 of Nev’s neighborhood friends( to help keep Eve happy) as well as another Mum… I could NOT have done it on my own. Still, Eve was true to character…acting like her usual Eve of Destruction self, and the only way we could get her to smile was to “let” her throw pinecones directly at my head. Fabulous. So, you may notice these are definitely not all in focus, but they are completely perfect in my eyes and well worth the sweating, cursing ( under my breath) and headache that lasted the rest of the day.

Hope all of my wonderful blog-followers have an incredible Christmas and holiday season and that you stay warm and safe and most of all happy:)

See you in 2011…2012…seriously? I have to go google what year it is; I do not for the life of me know for sure! Does that mean I’m getting older??! haha. Enjoy the pics:)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Something about this one makes me smile…Nevaeh’s girls:) This is soooooo Nevaeh ; she’s like ” alright Mum, it’s been 5 minutes – now where is the coin you promised me”? haha.These last two I MAJOR love! Especially the last one as it captures exactly what photographing them was like -pinecone throwing at all!

01/12/2011 - 6:17 am becky - your girls are perfection!! Love all these shots!! Happy 2011!!

01/07/2011 - 7:20 pm Morgan - Love love love! Merry very belated Kissmas to you all!

12/22/2010 - 12:55 am lianna - You're girls are beautiful!! hi5 Michele!

Baby smiles:)

Here’s our wee-est girl, back at 13 months old….. in just 12 short weeks she will be turning TWO and we just cannot believe how it’s flown by. She was a quite, timid, not-so-cuddly babe back then. Now she’s a clever, curious  daredevil who thinks ( and acts) like a boy! One positive….she’s now turning into a cuddler just like her big sissy:)

And in case you’re wondering just why I waited so long to post these….well, Brooke took them when she was babysitting and forgot all about them. The perks of having a photog friend!!! Love. These.  As for Nevaeh? Well, I’ll be dressing up the girls in their Christmas outies tomorrow for one last session before my Canon gets shipped off to another home and I officially become a Nikon girl. Stay tuned!!!

Mish.

Brooke…….I still cannot believe you forgot about these; they are my faves of her. You are the best:) lumi

12/08/2010 - 7:43 pm s h e r r y - :) Aw, her eyes are SO cute in that second photo. And yay, welcome to the Nikon fam-jam ;D

11/22/2010 - 12:18 pm brooke bowland - hehe...you are so very welcome. i cant believe they slipped through the cracks. i so remember her making that face all the time. how on earth did she get so big! lumi girl.

11/22/2010 - 11:46 am becky - What a cutie!! Those eyes in the second shot are killer! how do you ever say no to her? Welcome to the Nikon family :)

11/20/2010 - 9:53 am Brandi - aw, she is soooo pretty!! Love her baby blues!

Nevaeh + Eve :: Fresh

Two girls, fresh out of the tub……cotton jammies, clean sheets, bouncing and giggles. What more could you ask for?!

And yes, I do realize that our youngest mildly resembles Jack Nicholson in The Shining – darn good thing she’s cute, right?

Enjoy the pics…man, it was funny getting these. Little ones crack me right up!

Mish.

07/03/2010 - 12:58 am michele - hehe....thank you all! They are so funny; so VERY different from each other but both equally hilarious. Nevaeh....headstrong, cautious, intelligent, emotional and a definite rule follower. Eve....headstrong, crazy, mischievous, rough, daredevil...a rule-breaker all the way! She's pretty much a boy is what I'm thinkin! It was a fun night; that's for sure:)

06/24/2010 - 10:06 am Brandi - awwww, I just love those girlies!! Gorgeous!

06/17/2010 - 9:33 pm Marlene Sandback - So darn cute!

06/17/2010 - 8:28 pm brooke bowland - these are completely hilarious. i love them. that third one down just kills me. :)

06/17/2010 - 7:12 pm Ashli Malinek - Those two girlies are too cute!!!! That's some bed head!!!

06/17/2010 - 4:22 pm Rebecca - OMG! So precious. :)

06/17/2010 - 8:51 am Rebecca - So cute! And I seriously am in love with your decor. So perfect.

06/17/2010 - 6:26 am Mandy - bah how adorable are they!! love these michele!

06/17/2010 - 6:10 am becky - Awe! That third picture is so precious!! I love seeing pics of your little girls, they are so adorable!

The Misses

Just a little post of the girlies I had forgotten about. A few of these images have actually been framed up big and put proudly on our walls last month; just got so busy I forgot to blog ‘em! These were snapped after a baby session I had done at Brooke’s studio, and B decided to pick up her camera and snap a few of Eve while she chilled on the bed. Well, Big Sis decided she wanted in there ( amazing)! so I actually got some updated pics of the two of them together. I managed to catch a few shots I adore, but the majority were shot by Brooke while I bounced around trying to get Eve to peek up at us….Brooke, I love love LOVE these; thank you so much for the impromptu quickie:)!

Do I ever feel lucky to call these two cuties my girls……

06/20/2010 - 7:20 pm nanny - what....i thought they were MY girls!! miss you all! xo

06/17/2010 - 9:22 pm brooke bowland - awe thanks. you are so sweet. i am just thrilled that we got some goodies. after photographing isla i think i can handle most any little lady!

06/17/2010 - 12:58 am michele - Thank you thank you girls:) Like I said, these are mainly all thanks to Brooke; I am so lucky to have her close by to capture moments like these...so,thanks B!

06/16/2010 - 11:09 am Gina - ohh that last one melts my heart! Love!

06/15/2010 - 10:36 am Daniela - Oh my goodness are these ever sweet....I just want to squeeze them both :) You sure make pretty babies!!

06/15/2010 - 4:15 am stephanie - beautiful girlies!

Mr. Quinton :: New

Here he is……Mister Quinton, born on May 25th to Mum Heather, Dad Nick and big sis Cyan. I don’t think I’ve met a prouder family…..thanks so much for having me do your photos again. Heather ever-so-kindly informed me that I am their official “photographer for life”. Not a bad title, is it?!

Their little man was a perfectly snuggable 5 days old here. SUCH a beautiful little guy with a wonderful and hilarious family…thanks again!

Mr. Evan:: Baby

I think some of my favorite sessions are those of returning clients…..especially when those clients happen to little ones..hehe! This adorable little man first came by to see me when he was just 4 or five days old, ( click here for photos)  and he was even easier this time around. Actually, he was my easiest and happiest little man to-date. I don’t think he stopped flashing his cute little grin the entire time. Mum and Dad, thank you so much for contacting me again….I can’t wait to see you next time around and hope you enjoy Evan’s photos:)

Michele

Miss Veda:: New

This little beauty found me through my Dad…he had sold her Mum and Dad their new home and he got them a new baby session as a gift – I hope they love the results! Miss Veda was just over 3 weeks in these, and wasn’t yet 7 pounds. Just a teensy little thing, and with the most beautiful features. Thank you to Mum and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa for coming along; it was wonderful to meet you….Veda is a lucky lady:)  And once again – thank you Brooke for lending a hand behind the camera ( a few of these images are hers)  as well as wrangling my kiddos while I finished up…appreciated as always.

Enjoy!

Sweet baby girl.
One of my all time favorite new-Mum photos. Simply beautiful.
Thanks to Brooke for this great detail shot….does Veda not have amazing lips?!

Spring Sneaks :: 2010

Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to the past week……although it is of course starting to feel hectic and busy and crazy – I am loving being in the midst of it all!  This next week is going to be another one with me behind the camera….Nevaeh’s ballet recital, an outdoor photoshoot of my girlies, a teensy baby girl, an uber stylish family of 4, and second shooting a wedding with Brooke. Whew!. I guess this means it’s time to start hitting the caffeine again. Hehehe!

Enjoy the sneaks and make sure to stay tuned in for full posts:)

A wonderful engagement session I got to shoot with BrookeFamily session of four of the nicest kids around….a surprise for Father’s Day!My first wedding of the year….it was hot and very sunny – these two rocked it!Last but not least – a very chill baby boy. Easiest baby to date….thanks Evan!

05/17/2010 - 1:17 pm jennifer - Thank you so much Michele for photographing our little peanut again! As always you did such an amazing job and we can't wait to see the rest of them!

Jack+Pina+Isabella :: Family

These were so great to do while down on the Island, as the subjects are not only beauuutiful, but Mama Jack and I have been friends for about 28 years – WOW, does that make me feel old. One of my fondest memories is of us jumping into our swimsuits and hopping into her tub full of bright blue Calgon bubbles and then blasting the Beach Boys “Kokomo”. Another that you may have forgotten about Jack, is when we first got training bras and decided we wanted bigger tata’s- we improvised and took some of plastic eggs your Mum’s nylons came in, popped them in half and stuck em down our shirts. Oh yeah, we rocked it:) Anyways, on with the pics….your family is gorgeous Jack and I’m just so proud of how much you’ve accomplished.

Mwah!

My fave….you can just see how much Jack adores her girls.
Big Sis….Miss Pina.

Big Sis Pina…..this little lady had moves!

This one is extra special for Mum as this is the tiara Jack wore for her wedding 10 years ago….we also have a photo with Pina wearing it at just a few weeks old. Loving this…Do you ever wonder just what it is the wee ones are thinking at times?! hehe….Miss Isabella, or “Babybel” as she is more often called….such a dolly:)

Love these ones of Mama and her girls…** A last one added from our play date with the girls the following day – true Island weather, it drizzled the whole time, but we bundled up and got this smooshy, lovey image that I just adore. Thanks for the visit!

05/17/2010 - 8:58 pm brooke bowland - beautiful. these are all stunning mish. i bet jack is beyond thrilled!!!

05/16/2010 - 7:42 pm Brandi - so so beautiful! I love how light and fun your sessions are!

05/16/2010 - 7:35 am Rebecca - SO CUTE!!!! I love that tiara.

05/16/2010 - 5:22 am stephanie - Soooooooooo sweet!! And love the story about the ta-ta's. I'm still wishing I got some ;-)
