The Gecko-Glam Look

E has just started loosing her teeth. Sigh, just another sign that my baby is growing up.

Anyways, I wanted to capture that cheeky adorable grin of hers, so I asked her if I could take a few pictures. She said sure Mom, in just a minute. A minute passes and she walks into the room sporting her bright pink lipstick. Well, I wanted pictures of her, and well that is just so her, so I went just had to go with it. That in combination with the beautiful diamond(cubic zirconia) snowflake earring which she refuses to change, and the temporary gecko tattoo on her arm, all work together to create her very own personalized "Gecko-Glam Look". I just don't know how else to describe it. But, then again, I wouldn't want her any other way either.




A little more serious here:



A new favourite of her:



But I must admit, I prefer it in black and white, even though it does not show off the lipstick quite the same.

My Graduate Again

Just one more of D that I really liked and wanted to share.

Did I mention that he was co-valedictorian, and that I am just so darn proud of him.

Congratulations to My Graduates and ALL the Graduates Out There

Sorry to have neglected my blog yet again, but the last week of school was just so busy with all the typically year end activities, pus 2 graduations. Yes, both my babies graduated this year (sniff, sniff).


In typically McGillivray fashion grade 8 graduation was once again held on the hottest, most humid day of the year, but all the graduates still looked great!


A few of D while he was dressed in his suit.



A little more casual, since it was just too hot to be wearing a suit jacket anyways.


A little sun flair to highlight him.


Little Miss E also graduated from Senior Kindergarten this year. It is off to grade one and school every day in September.

Froggie Friend

While swimming the other day, E found this little cutie sunning himself at the edge of the pool. I have never seen a frog quite like this around here before, he was so small and a much lighter green that you typically see. He also had the suction cup type feet like a tree frog, not the usual pond frogs we find. Not sure where he came from, but he was cute.

After the rain

I just thought I would share a few pictures I took the other morning after it had rained through the night.

Wooo Hooo!!! I Won, I Won, I Won !!!!!!!

I was so excited to receive the phone call from Jackie Ludlage, at Canadian Scrapbooker informing me that I had won the "Celebration Photo Contest" in honour of the 3rd anniversary of their wonderful scrapbooking magazine!

Here is the my winning photo and a link to find all the details and view the other amazing winners.

Thanks again Jackie, Katharina, and Canadian Scrapbooker! I am having a blast with my new camera and printer!!!

Mr K's Family

I just wanted to share a few of Mr K's beautiful family. Now you can see why he is such a gorgeous newborn, he comes from a beautiful family.






I was so pleased with this one. There is nothing like a mother's love!


Thank you J and K it was a pleasure to photograph your family.

Gorgeous Newborn

I know there has been some serious blog neglect on my part, as I have been extremely busy with a project, which is almost complete, but I still cannot share just yet. Hopefully, soon I will be able to share some of it with you. In the mean time, here are some images for a gorgeous newborn I recently photographed.

Thank you so much K, Mr. K is such a handsome little man and a pleasure to photograph.

Calla Lilies

I love the strong lines and beautiful curves of the calla lily, so I thought I should share some pictures that I took of them.

Same angle, just a black background:

Happy Easter Everyone

Gosh, I can hardly believe that it has been almost a month since I last posted. Life has been busy, but I will do my best to get back and post some more pictures sooner next time. In the mean time, I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter, and enjoys their long weekend.
