Moncton Wedding & Portrait Photography

Moncton Equine Photographer – Abby & Rockstar

When I’m not shooting, I’m planning. I’m dreaming, and pinning (yes, Pinterest addict) and I’m viewing. Magazines, tv shows, advertisements, movies. I go for walks, I look at light, and I dream. I dream of when that day comes that the subjects, the weather, the location, the lighting, and the gear, all come together in this perfect package and I just shoot. And I shoot what I love. And I shoot for the client, but I shoot for me. This is one of those shoots.

Meet Abby and Rockstar. Abby is one of my best friends, and way back when I first started shooting, was one of my very first clients. I didn’t know her then, I didn’t know that 4 years later I’d be shooting my 4th photoshoot with her. I didn’t know that we would spend a week planning her outfits, because she didn’t know what to wear even though she’s the most fashionable girl I know. I didn’t know I would show up, and the sun would hit the leaves just right, and that the wind would pick up her hair and Rockstars mane just right, and I didn’t know that a shower would start in the in the middle of the shoot but I’d get the most amazing sun kissed photos with rain drops in them. I didn’t know any of that. But it happened.

I’m so grateful that I can call Abby a friend. That she has been beside me no matter what through these years. And I’m so glad that I was able to take these shots for her, of her and Rockstar. But really, I’m so glad that this was the shoot, where all of those things I dream about come together in that one package.

Thank you, Abby. Thank you for letting me take these.

Moncton Engagement – Nadine & Bernard

There is something magical about winter. When the trees are heavy laden with snow, and light snowflakes fall through the air. Pathways are snow covered, except for the tracks of the last lone walker through the park. Once in a while a wind gust will lift that snow up and swirl it around you, like a hug, and even though it takes your breath away from the cold, it’s almost a tingle that runs through you, a magic feeling.

Nadine and Bernard decided to do their engagement pictures in the Irishtown Nature Park, which is one of my favourite places to shoot year round. But winter portraits there is something else, something different. Where people forget it’s -30 degrees out and that the wind is freezing your ears. Where they walk and laugh and kiss and cuddle, like summer is just around the corner, and that it’s really not that bad having so much snow on the ground. Like magic, we forget, and just live for the right now, and be right now.
