Hello, crazy little monkey! She's such a darling -- big smiles and a big cookie!

These tights are pretty spiffy too, and Christmassy too!

This week was the Santa Claus parade in Peterborough -- a huge hit for the tiny tots. Friends and I all watched together, drank hot chocolate and had a post-parade pizza party!

Have you been getting into the holiday spirit too?

For The Love Of Montreal

2011-10-03T13:36:00.001-04:00

A few weekends ago, the family & I took a trip to Montreal to visit our friend Julia, whose birth I had the pleasure of attending last spring. I also just shot her wedding -- and it was gorgeous!

My husband, daughter & I stayed in a very sweet little one bedroom apartment, just off St. Laurent while we visited. We ate so much incredible food, enjoyed some great shopping, picnics in the park, wine and coffee with friends -- it was a trip to remember.

Montreal is such a wonderful place for us. I think we feel right at home.

Down On The Farm With TiaStar.com

2011-09-15T14:36:00.000-04:00

Two days ago, we took to the country for a farm style photo shoot. The weather cooperated beautifully, and though they called for rain, we were sprinkled only with sunshine.

This particular shoot was the last of three that Tia and I have been working on over the last few weeks for TiaStar.com's Fall Lookbook. The farm that we visited actually belongs to a friend of my family -- I spent a lot of time there as a child, and I still ride their horses whenever I get a chance.
