happy birthday [twins]

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I think children's birthday parties are an excellent occasion to hire a professional photographer. You're renting the bouncy castle, you're inviting all your friends and family over, you're planning activities and you're baking a cake (or at least buying one), so why not let me capture all the excitement with photographs while you enjoy the party?

When I had a photography session with THIS amazing family last fall, the mama to these adorable twins was smart enough to book me in advance for their birthday party a few weeks ago. It was a terrific day and I'm so glad I was able to take care of documenting everything while Jacki & Warren took care of hosting the wonderful party.

Which reminds me, be sure to contact me well in advance if you're thinking of hiring me for your next event. I'm taking on a limited number of sessions this summer and already have some family events scheduled so my calendar is filling quickly. You can always find out my current availability by clicking the "Contact" link under my header at the top of the page.

And while I'm at it with the housekeeping, thank you to all of my wonderful new clients who booked at my promotional rate. I'm almost finished all the sessions at that price and all new bookings will be at my new rate. You can find all the details about my new pricing by clicking the "Rates" link above.

Finally, exciting developments... I will be photographing two weddings in the next couple of months and I'm really looking forward to developing my porfolio in that area. If you know anybody getting married in the late summer or fall, please let them know I'm available for wedding photography. My rates will be highly negotiable and reasonable and I'll have two weddings under my belt by then. I would love to hear from any brides (or grooms!) who are interested in booking a keen and enthusiastic photographer who LOVES what she does and will put everything into documenting their amazing day. As an incentive, I'm offering a reduced rate engagement session so you can test drive my photography before hiring me for the big day. Click HERE to send me an email to spilledmilk(at)shaw.ca and we can discuss the details.

Anyway, thanks to Jacki and Warren for hiring me again to take photos for your amazing family (and sorry for hijacking your post so I could make a few announcements). I can't wait to work with you again, or at least run into you in the village! xo c

And now for the photos... aren't these two adorable?!?!
