Since we didn't have any kids the past few days, we borrowed some :) well I was doing family portraits of Ashen. This little guy was so cute at 2.5 months we were very jealous of the 12 hours of sleep he gets each night. Blue and Adam are great parents and they have a wonderful little boy and th
So yesterday I had the chance to help make and to shoot some amazing butter tarts. For the friends to the south of Canada butter Tarts are a pastry full of goodness, brown sugar and butter are the 2 main ingredients. There is nothing better than a house that smells of fresh baking and loud music to
So today was one of those days I was working all day in the house. Part of being a photographer now is indexing your prints so they get picked up from search engines, and it makes it easier for everyone looking for different photos to find yours in the HUGE web that is out there so after 4 hours of
Hey so today I was up in Muskoka for a kick ass engagement session, mind you I got a little wet, was unsure about the ice being that weak oh well, it was so worth it! On the way home after sitting while the fire fighters and hazmat picked up the mess on the 400 for almost 2 hours!! Rick and I stoppe
We are now 3 weeks into the day in the life of the Rochefort- Smith family and I have to say it has been great and so much fun to do. In the next few weeks it is a crazy busy time of year for our family and now with business booming it is going to be getting even crazier with hockey, trips away and
