I can hardly believe it has been 13 years since I decided to start embark on this adventure!! I have met soooo many amazing people over the years. As I looked back over some of my photos from the past…it’s honestly CRAZY to think that some of those wee babies are now teenagers too!! Thanks guys!! You make this a really fun job.
Let me know if you see yourself!! And as always – if you are looking to capture your family, child or special event – let me know! info@k-photo.ca
Professionally…not a lot went on this past year. We were nearly entering the Spring season when this pandemic hit hard. Ontario in a full lockdown. Photography was deemed not to be essential. Some planned sessions just didn’t end up happening. And time went on. The kids were schooling from home. We played a lot of games, baked and I learned to cut hair. We ordered music to watch on TV and even attended a drive-in concert. The highlight was renting a cabin in the Kawarthas. It was the perfect time to get away where we would not see anyone! I did manage to hold my annual Fall mini sessions. It was great to see my VIP’s again. Christmas was a little different. But we made it though to 2021!! Here is just a snippet of what my camera saw this past year.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy start to 2021! My camera misses you!
It was a bit of an unusual Christmas, to say the least. Instead of planning events and buying special outfits – we were scheduling zoom meetings and awaiting online deliveries. But I am happy to say – I feel like we have survived 2020. While remaining healthy, and we didn’t get sick of each other having to spend all this additional time together. Now to share a few of my best holiday moments:
Well…I know that a lot of plans did not pan out for this year. But 2021 is just around the corner. I am looking forward to vacations and hanging out with family. Going to concerts and movies. The kids being allowed to go to school. And being able to attend an appointment a little easier. Wishing everyone a happy holiday!! And stay stafe!
Hard to imagine it was 11 years ago that I made the choice to stay home, make my own hours, and do what I love. This anniversary is a bit of a weird one. But we will be out and about soon enough capturing your family memories. Until then…stay safe.
My camera misses your smiling faces.

I guess you could say things have been a little crazy around the house the last little bit. We decided it was time to have a little floof join our family. So back the beginning of May we welcomed our little Ophelia. She is such a beautiful, elegant 8 week old Chocolate point Siamese kitty – but don’t let that fool you. She is a GOOF!! Not sure if I could pick a favourite thing about this baby girl. I love when she takes over my pillow and sleeps on my head. I love when you’re trying to scold her and then she gives you the head tilt “but I’m so cute” look. She is just oh so helpful with everything from unloading the dishwasher, folding laundry, making the bed, putting away the groceries. Haha! But actually…one of my FAVOURITE things is when she falls asleep with her tongue hanging out. That’s how you know it’s a good nap. 
After she had designated herself as the Queen of the house, we thought what better time to add ANOTHER floof! Welcome Miss Ellie. (Or if I wanted to type out her full name: Lady Eleanor Wigglefloof of the Squishybeans) She was a little rescue kitty I fell in love with over Facebook, of all things. She was left abandoned out by a farm along with a sister and 2 deceased brothers. We brought her home when she was roughly 8 weeks old…and at this point it was clear – she needed to be taught how to do kitty things. First of all – the litter box situation was not up to Ophelia’s standards. She would stand there and monitor Miss Ellie. And then go in and cover everything when she was done. Even drinking her water was not something our little Miss Ellie learned before coming to our home. She would slurp. It was the funniest thing to watch! But it wasn’t long before she was doing all the kitty things. 
Now don’t get me wrong…it was a bit of a transition period trying to introduce the two of ’em. Ophelia was a little TOO excited to play with a new little friend. So she’d try to jump on top of her and eat her leg or ear a bit. Haha! And I think Miss Ellie was just happy to be out of a cage, and looking to roam. We’d let them see each other for short spurts, and then separate them again. Until one morning they chased each other and wrestled and more chasing and pouncing and even more chasing. It was exhausting to watch! Actually, exhausting for them as well. They both snuggled up to each other and had a HUGE nap. Then they were best buds. After 2 months now if one of them meows – the other one runs to see what the problem is. They eat together. Drink together. Nap together (if the mood arises). And still have not grown out of using the bathroom together. I may be a bit biased – but they are awfully darn cute! 
Awww….just look at my babies!!! While this was a bit of a personal post today – I ALWAYS enjoy adding a pet to any family or children’s session. Currently booking for summer/fall 2018. Please follow along on Facebook or Twitter to keep up with any and all news K Photo and Design. I look forward to hearing from you! 
It’s so hard to believe that 2014 has come and gone already! I just wanted to take the time to thank all of the wonderful families I was able to spend time with this year. I appreciate your business…and the fun chats we always seem to have. I’ve chosen of few of my favourite images from this past year to share with you; and I hope we are able to get together at some point in 2015! 
If you aren’t already, please be sure to “like” my facebook page or follow me on twitter to keep up with what’s new with me. Happy new year!! I wish you all the best in 2015!!

I have had my share of dandelion bouquets…or leaves or rocks that seem to find their way home. But my favourite flower is just a simple white daisy. My daughter knows this, and points them out WHENEVER she sees them like she’s seen a rock star or something. Even better when she finds a wild patch and brings one home for me (or two). 
Happy summer everyone!!

I love to get families out to the local parks when the leaves start to change. It’s such a fun time of year to get into those nice cozy sweaters and cuddle up for a nice family portrait. Not to mention EXCELLENT Christmas gift ideas! (I’m talking about Mom’s, Dad’s Gramma’s and Grampa’s – the people who have absolutely everything and just want to stare and your nice sunny faces all day. 
)
I had a blast with these guys. I’m soooo happy we found some nice fall colours and some great weather to capture this little family of three. I even had D posing his Mom and Dad at one point. I’m sure I have molded a great little assistant for future shoots if needed. 
I’m hoping we still have a few weeks we can enjoy some nice outdoor fall portraits. Please contact me to book yourself a spot!!
