Every so often I’ll come across a clip of something that is so insanely cute I can’t help but have a huge smile on my face and my heart is filled with joy and laughter. My friend Erika posted this Youtube video on her Facebook today and I had to share it with you all. As a baby and kids photographer I absolutely love capturing the true happiness, joy, enthusiasm and the effervescent optimistic outlook that only a child could possess! It’s my life’s work to capture their little personalities with my lens so you’ll always be able to look back and remember. If you need a boost today here is some advice on ‘How to Stay Positive” and remember “You Can Do Anything Good”, lol!!

The Brick Works Meadows article in Canadian Family magazine
Dave and I did a very cool kids shoot for Canadian Family magazine at The Brick Works Meadows in the Don Valley. We were charged with the task of chasing several kids around and capturing their shenanigans as they explored nature. It was a blast, and all the kids were so curious that it made taking the pictures a lot of fun.
We knew the shots were being printed for the Summer edition, but it was still very exciting to open the copy we picked up today and see our photo on the contents page, then to flip forward to the article and see four full pages of photos!! We weren’t expecting to have so many of the images in there, so it was a great surprise 
I just want to send a big shout out to Megan for referring us for this shoot! Megan’s a past bride of our and a managing editor at Canadian Family.
The following video may be a little lengthy, but if you’re interested in seeing what evergreen are doing with the Brick Works, check it out here.

Little Lauren’s Kid Photo Shoot in High Park, Toronto
Some of you may remember the baby shoot we did with little baby Lauren a few months back. I was stoked because I actually won a photography award for one of the images from that shoot. She was only 8 weeks old then and she was so cute and adorable at that age! Dave and I were so honoured to photograph such an important time in Laurens life, it honestly feels like yesterday. It is so incredible how quickly kids grow up and time flies by so fast. I wonder if she actually got a chance to wear all of those cute baby clothes overflowing in her closet LOL! I have a feeling with all of her designer duds she’s going to grow up to be one well dressed fashionista!
When Lauren’s mom Melissa was looking for wedding photographers to document their incredible destination wedding in St. Thomas we were stoked she called us first! We absolutely LOVE shooting destination weddings and it’s even better when you have such gorgeous subjects as Lauren and her mom and dad! St. Thomas is a gorgeous island on the Caribbean Sea and is a part of the Virgin Islands. It’s rich with beautiful architecture, history and not to mention gorgeous turquoise water with soft white sand beaches. We have soo many shoot ideas and we can’t wait to photograph such an amazing time in their lives!
While we were chatting about Melissa & Sean’s exciting wedding plans, we popped on a slide show of some of our destination wedding work. Lauren was so cute, she started clapping her hands and dancing to the beat of the music 
I don’t even think any of us saw the slide show, we were too busy bopping along with Lauren, she’s soo much fun to have around!
After the meeting we went out for a photo shoot in High Park. She looked cute as a button in her beanie and stockings, we had to get a few shots.
Melissa taught Lauren how to make some funny faces so we had to take a few priceless pictures!
It was so cute, Lauren does not like standing on any uneven ground so we put her by a tree for balance. We wanted to evoke a really true laugh and reaction out of her to show of her new toothy smile. Melissa told us she loooooves hearing the song “Low” by FloRida and it always makes her laugh LOL! Soo we all broke into our personal renditions of… Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur… the whole club was lookin’ at her… shorty got low, low, low… Haha, she LOVED it and clapped and boogied while we sang! Lauren has such a happy disposition, she has got to be the best kid ever to photograph!
We had so much fun with these guys! We can’t wait to shoot Melissa & Sean’s wedding in gorgeous St. Thomas, I’m sure we’ll sneak in a baby shoot or two while we’re away !!
Here is the slide show we put together for Laurens mom & dad of the shots we took. We thought the song was perfect because when you tell little Lauren to smile, she crinkles her nose… too funny!
The Kids Playing In The Pool
I’m just loving my time away in beautiful Perth, Australia!! If there is one place on this Earth that could be defined as an absolute paradise, I’d with no doubt have to say Perth! We’ve been having sooo much fun here. Not only with the great family and friends that we’ve been hanging with but with the awesome and hilarious kids that we’ve been lucky enough to photograph. Meet Sky, Noah and Jayden, three of of the cutest little kids I’ve had the pleasure to photograph in a while!
There is something that is soo much fun about a kiddie pool. When the kids hit the pool the splashing started immediately and the giggles were contagious
I thought Sky’s polka-dot bathing suit was super adorable. Her goggles were hilarious and it was hard for us adults to contain our laughter.
How cute!! Big sis and little bro hanging in the baby pool!
AND SPPP-LASH!!
Noah just giggled until his tummy hurt from all of the awesome fun and excitement.
Isn’t it amazing how little effort it takes to bring hours of fun and excitement to a toddlers day! Look at the expression of thrill and wonder in little Noah, it’s like you can feel his pure glee!
Knock-knock mom, soaking wet swimmer at the door. Hmmm, I think Sky should dry off a little before wet foot prints make their way through the house.
It looks like someone has done this before, I love the funny faces kids make 
Focus… focus…
Oh, oh, it looks like the funny face craze has caught on!
What an amazing and fun day!! I just wanted to end the post with one really cute photo of Jayden. Check out those big blue eyes don’t they just melt your heart?!?
