Welcome to the world Thea!
You know those big secrets you just cant wait to let out? This was one of those…Over tea one day our dear friends Kaija and Doug reviled to us that they were having a baby!! I don’t think we have even been so happy for such wonderful people. Well a few days days ago the world welcomed Thea Aline Munroe! I wonder if she was number 6,999,996 in the population given all the new estimates? either way, we have already volunteered to baby sit…
Stay tuned for newborn photos of little Thea 
Family in the Trees
Newlan Family Portraits! | Halifax Wedding Photography
I have always believed that family portraits belong outdoors. Except when it’s freezing outside and very very wet. Then of course you need to go indoors. Well here we are in lovely Febuary weather in Halifax Nova Scotia…and sometimes you just need to go in doors!
For the Love of Lily | Halifax Nova Scotia Photography
Sometimes you get lucky enough to meet someone who impacts your life for the better, and when you meet this person they earn a special place in your heart. I was lucky enough to meet Melanie Mansfeild about 5 years ago. She was always a happy and upbeat person with knowledge and wisdom well beyond her years. When I ran into her again at the Atlantic Bridal Showcase we talked and did some catching up…
You may have noticed in the paper over the past week a few articles on a lower Sackville family who have found themselves in a struggle and need your help.
The Mansfeild’s, Melanie, Joey and their two daughters Emily and Lily will be headed to Ontario to have lifesaving chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants done for Lily. Lily is 4 months old and her closest matched donor is her older sister Emily…
The Mansfeild’s will have to stay in Ontario for up to six months and will be making daily trips to the hospital for both of their daughters. In order to fund their trip they are hosting a benefit, “For the Love of Lily” which will be taking place at the Roadhouse (961 Bedford Hyw) Saturday, March 6, 2010 8:00pm – 11:00pm. The event will be hosted by Marc Sauvé and will feature a silent auction where all proceeds go to pay for the family’s trip and lodgings while in Ontario. Tickets are $25.00 each and are all for a very worthy cause.
Here are a few photos we did of the Mansfeild family…for a family in need of so much one thing is for sure, they will never run out of love.
Fun with the Fox-MacNeils!
Every year when i go home for Christmas my mom asks me to take some photos of the family, I of course agree and off to shoot we go. I pass them along and they get printed and put into a photo album, not to be seen again for years to come. I never put a lot of thought into those photos when I was younger, but not being an older wiser Brian I realize how important those photos are, professional or not. We went looking for some albums this year to show Karen but we just couldn’t find the ones I was looking for. I was pretty disappointed. This got me to thinking…
I love shooting families. You get to spend the afternoon with 3, 4, 5 (who knows) people you know little to nothing about and get to know them, and creating memories for years to come. Karen has known The Fox MacNeil Family for some time now as she has babysat Gus and Angus in the past, but it was sstill nice for me to get to know them. Just before Christmas we went over to the family homestead and spent the afternoon with Gus and family! Photo awesomeness of course took place! Tada!
Family fun times!
When we shot the Nauss wedding we knew they had kids…what we didn’t know was how much fun these two kids were… not only are they cute as buttons but they are also a riot to be around. Aiden and Mackenzie are like two peas in a pod, no fussing and no feuding just loads of fun!
This family loves to keep active so when we decided to do family portraits we thought it was a good idea to go do something energetic. So we went for a nice hike in the woods around Long Lake… The choice of venue was also in part because of the newest addition to the Nauss family, Dexter (the world’s cutest beagle puppy). The paths around Long Lake are a semi well kept dog lovers secret. Anyone who loves to walk their dog through the woods and socialize with other dog owners knows, this is the place to be.
Todd and Erika had the family dress all in matching white (how cute!), except Dexter, he stood out in a fashionable brown coat with a small fuzzy hood…although…I suppose his fur did match everyone’s sweaters…

We got to spend some time with Skye and Ash and their lovely child. Fantastic weather, fantastic family, what more could a photographer ask for? Well I guess the ice cream that followed helped.
