First Newborn Session of 2011

Here is baby Jude (love the name) who I got to photograph early February. He was super easy to work with and ofcourse adorable!
Here are a few favourites:

Grand Opening Special

This was Colin, who was our first in studio session for our new location.
We got to chatting about business (and what he needed these headshots for) and I looked up his website for mortgage rates (not for us personally for the next five years) but the rates a broker can offer, very very good!
