We never stop growing. Whether it be in age, family size, our relationships, our careers, or as our own person, we continue to grow. I have had the pleasure of watching the Brar family grow for 5 years now. I first photographed their oldest daughter, Lily, as a baby. I watched Lily grow from a baby to an active toddler.

In the grande scheme of things, each of life's moments equates to just a dimple in time. Some shallow, barely to be seen, and others run deep. The moments that touch our hearts run the deepest. Dimples in time that define a life. Shawna came to see me at my Grimsby studio for her maternity session. We started with some pampering as Shawna had her makeup done by our makeup artist, Christine.

Have you ever held an old photograph in your hand and it transported you into a moment? Maybe you picked it up in a thrift shop and you don't even know the people, but you're drawn into this look in their eyes? Maybe you found it in your grandparent's attic and you are pulled into a memory or a still moment of imagining what their life was like? That's legacy.

Valentine's Day. It is the one day each year dedicated to celebrating love. It is an opportunity to celebrate love in all its forms, through marriage, through family, through friendship. And is that ever a deserving thing to celebrate. Because love. Love can change everything.

Family is more than blood. Family starts with choosing. I think family is a choice. Family is the choice to look at your husband or wife every day and choose them. Family is a decision to when your stomach flutters with life to say I choose them.

Family is everything.  The ones whom we love and get to wake up with everyday, the ones that know our potential and our scars, the ones we first turn to -- they're so important.

You have invested the time, energy and money to have beautiful images of your family and children created. The connection, joy and beauty of those who you love most has been captured and celebrated on film so that you can hold onto them forever. Once you receive those images...

Jennifer's lovely little one has arrived.  It's obvious how incredibly loved this little girl will be.  Visit her maternity session.

Does it ever feel like there is so much to do and yet so little time? Maybe you forget about things if you don't write them in your calendar right away. Maybe you feel exhausted by the end of the day because it was packed and you still don't feel like you made a dent in your to-do list...

Meet Jennifer.  She's the calmest, sweetest first time mama you'll ever meet.  And that baby belly - can you guess whether it was a boy or a girl?  Check for the answer at the bottom of this post.
