10 on 10 > June

Wow did this last month fly by.  I am sort of cheating…this should really be titled 10 on 9.   The 10th this month was a crazy day and I completely forgot to even pick up my camera so I’m using some photos I took the day before, since I love them anyway I’m also a…

David M. - June 16, 2013 - 10:11 am

Sara, you always capture playtime with your children so beautifully. The light is spectacular in these shots.

Tracy Hitchen - June 17, 2013 - 9:34 am

oh my goodness Sara, the light is so pretty in all of these pictures. They are both so so cute!

Darren - June 17, 2013 - 5:22 pm

As usual Sara, these are super cute! You are the mistress of light! hehe : )

10 on 10 > May

the 10th came and went and again we had gray skies with intermittent rain…the weather is not making this project any easier to follow through with. The boys wanted to go puddle jumping so we grabbed our rubber boots and headed out.  I had to get a shot of the Leafs logo since game six…

Sara - May 15, 2013 - 9:58 am

thanks hon! and after your call, I took and look and you are so right – Connor DOES look bigger than Zach in the one of them on the steps together!

Jen J. - May 15, 2013 - 11:28 am

These are so cute Sarah. My favorite is the last one too. Conner looks like he’s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar

Anisha - May 15, 2013 - 1:10 pm

OMG I love all of these Sara!!! I especially love the ones taken under the covers with the flashlight. Cannot believe how clear those came out! I wish I could favorite those bc I’m melting from the cuteness. Your boys really are the cutest <3 <3!!

Crystal Crawley - May 15, 2013 - 1:38 pm

Beautiful portraits as always Sara!

Darren - May 15, 2013 - 4:57 pm

These are great Sara! Your boys are pretty darn cute. Love the last three! Yea, that D700 has some pretty good high ISO performance… better that my 5DII I think. Hope you’re well! : )

Suzanne - May 15, 2013 - 11:58 pm

Oh your little super heros!! That gets me- they are so funny and so endearing and sweet. Love the last ones too- perfection. Lots of good shadows this month-so wonderful Sara!

Caroline - May 16, 2013 - 12:55 am

OMG…that last shot! So awesome! Your boys are really are so darn cute! How many times have you heard that now? LOL

Rachel Bond - May 24, 2013 - 10:23 am

Sara – these photos are sooooo great! I especially love that last one with the boys. Please go get that blown up really big. I still can’t get over how much they have grown. They look like they are the best of friends.

10 on 10 > April

Cold, gray and rainy.  This has been the pattern for the last few weeks and it’s far from inspring.   This time last year we were wearing shorts, bike riding and going for nice long walks in the evening after work.  My boys keep asking when summer is going to get here and I have finally…

It rained on the 10th for you too? Well, these are great shots…bubble guns are the best (wish they were the only guns in the world…LOL). I love the color shots too…and such a sweet doggie you have!

Audrey Amaro - April 15, 2013 - 11:10 am

I feel bad that the 10th was the most gloriously warm and sunny day here in Philly…sending you some! :)

jordan parks - April 15, 2013 - 11:39 am

What is up with rain and the 10th? Seriously! These are so sweet, Sara! We have a bubble gun like that and the batteries always die in it, too. Love that pouty face!!!! Hope it warms up soon!

Rachel Bond - April 15, 2013 - 12:37 pm

I can’t get over how much your little boys have grown! I love your shots of them (and I loved your youngest’s hiding spots- haha!!). I also love the last 2 color shots – especially the one of your dog. The colors are gorgeous.

Darren Alessi - April 15, 2013 - 5:13 pm

These are all great Sara! My girls will turn five this month… wow! Time passes so quickly! Hope you’re well my friend! xo

Martha - April 15, 2013 - 8:11 pm

your boys are getting so big Sarah, they are so sweet. We are so sick of the rain as well. Those coloured pics are so pretty, I would buy the second last one to hang on my wall, seriously :P
Hope to see you soon, we are overdue for coffee

Cecily R - April 15, 2013 - 9:15 pm

SArah, these are amaaaaaazing! I love seeing your work popping up in my feed!

Suzanne - April 15, 2013 - 11:58 pm

This post made me laugh! Little boys are so cute with any hair cut. It reminds me of my boys and how much I love this age. You are a macro master! I found the cabbage patch kid! We can’t give those things up can we?

Christine McAuley - April 16, 2013 - 12:36 am

Tara - April 25, 2013 - 10:18 pm

Where do I start? So many wonderful moments captured. That puppy needs to pack her bones and move in with me! I really adore the pic of your son hiding behind the table. Truly a pic worth a thousand words! Awesome!

Zach turns 5!

I can’t believe it’s been five years since I was in the hospital giving birth to my sweet little Zach (or Zachary as he likes to be called).  His favourite things are cheese strings, Captain America, Optimus Prime and LegoNinjago.  He loves funny books and loves to make up his own stories to them.  He…

10 on 10 > February

I can’t believe a month has already past us by and I have barely posted anything (did I mention I am the furthest thing from a ‘good blogger’). The weekend was somewhat busy ~ newborn session on Saturday, birthday for my bestie Kim in the evening and Sunday was of course me dragging my camera…

These are so fun. I love the Walmart shot…lol. And the dog…so perfect! I wish we got half the snow you did! Chicago keeps missing the big storms. Looks like you had a wonderful day!

Christine - February 15, 2013 - 9:26 am

Love seeing the Winter photos…even though I love our mild weather I do at times ;) miss snow and the crisp fresh feeling! Thanks for sharing your day! so FUN!!!! I can’t pick a fav I love them all! Love your macro shots soft and beautiful!

Rachel Bond - February 15, 2013 - 10:49 am

Beautiful shots, Sara. I love the picture of the ducks taking off, oh, and the macro shot of the flower! I can’t believe your dog fell in the water! I would have panicked big time – how scary! So glad you both are okay :)

jordan parks - February 15, 2013 - 10:54 am

SARA! These are all kinds of awesome!!!! Such a busy day! I love that bokeh snow, too:)

Audrey Amaro - February 15, 2013 - 11:39 am

Oh I would have been freaking out if that was my dog!! I’m glad all was well.
I love the Gerbera daisies, they are my sister’s favorite, now I want to go and buy her some!

Audrey

Suzanne - February 15, 2013 - 5:59 pm

Love your color palette, the sparkles on the snow, the story of your dog rescue! It feels like such a happy relaxing Sunday. Nice variety of images too- nice work girl!

Nancy - February 15, 2013 - 7:19 pm

I love the shot of the ducks taking off in fright (the movement of their wings unfurling)..what an awesome picture….

Cathy - February 16, 2013 - 1:44 am

oh, poor Jessie! You must have freaked Sara. I love all these pictures, they have a vintagey feel to them

Jane - February 16, 2013 - 8:52 am

Sara, your pics are a work of art! Spectacular.

Anisha - February 18, 2013 - 5:29 pm

I LOVE this blog post!!! Thank GOD you did not fall through the ice omg – so scary!! I would have hardcore panicked ahh! haha. Ok thanks for telling me you had a sorta selfie in there – it totally counts but you know the kind of selfies I want to see ahem ;D And I think my favorite one is the two snow ones..cant believe you had that much snow but also, the sparkling snow is sooo so pretty. I haven’t ever experienced that much snow but the pictures suffice :)

Christmas in January > Newmarket Family Photographer

  I’m a bit embarassed to admit that the Christmas tree only came down this past weekend…but my excuse honestly has nothing to do with laziness.  I have been wanting to get the yearly cliche Christmas tree photos with my boys and something always got in the way…typically it was just me being forgetful but…

These are all so great Sara! The first one with your tree is my favorite. Hope you’re well!

Christine - January 25, 2013 - 8:32 pm

Cloe - April 20, 2013 - 10:51 pm
