Shannon and Abel got married last year but after talking to them, it sounded like their wedding photos were a bit… meh. So they called me up to do some post-wedding photos, which I basically treated as an engagement session. It actually threw Rhia, who did Shannon’s makeup, off because she too had thought it...

lorraine + ar-jay, engagement
I’ve known Lorraine for almost 20 years. Wow… not only is that a long time but it reminds me how old I actually am haha We have so many memories from elementry school, to highschool and it’s such a priviledge and pleasure to be asked to photograph her wedding. She’s seen me through every stage...
diem + mark, engagement
SooOooooOoo at some point during the shoot, Diem said to Mark, “Be careful of what you say because Claudia’s gonna blog about it.” HAHAHA That was the funniest thing I have ever heard! Funnier still was that as the shoot went on, it was filled with so many random moments of silliness and me shaking...
caroline + jeff, engagement
Nothing like getting to know couples better than a long drive out to Niagra :) c.
domico + ray, engagement
Awww! Domico and Ray are one of the cutest couples I have this year. First of all, they’re just sooooooo nice! I don’t think any other person emails me with such concern for my schedule and how busy I’ve been haha It’s a really awesome feeling to be considered (I’m a simple gal hehe). Second...
jennifer + robin, engagement
Woo woo! Can’t stop the engagement shoot train :) All my fall couples are getting their eSessions on and so I’ve been swamped with shooting and then getting their proofs online quickly. Jennifer and I go way back to highschool so it’s always such a pleasure to catch up with people after so many years...
sandra + ade, engagement
This enagement session was the mother of all outtakes. And by “outtakes” I mainly mean Sandra randomly doing random stuff out of no where lol For example, we’d be doing some “walking” shots and she would bust out a peace sign for no reason hahaha When I asked Ade if he could “break his stance,”...
karen + justin, engagement
Karen, Justin, Rhia and I had a blast hanging out for their eSession. Rhia was cool enough to hang out with us for the entire shoot too! What more can you ask for to start off an eSession with makeup on the beach, hotdogs and poutine as a pre-shoot snack? hehe Ok I had one...
alexandra + sean, engagement
One of the highlights of an engagement shoot (besides pumping out super cool images) is getting to know my couples better on a personal level. Finding out stuff we have in common, exchanging interesting stories and just getting to know them more as individuals and as a couple. It really is a wonderful aspect of...
ambra + brad, engagement
I’ve photographed people at both the height extremes before but not so much while standing/interacting next to each other. I previously blogged about the importance of perspective and how I’m conscious of photographing people taller than me. Since Ambra is of average height and Brad’s like…. uh 6’3″? 6’4″? It was a different kind of...
