This or that: View from Great Skellig (Michael) looking at Little Skellig, or the Skellig Lighthouse?

This or that: Giant’s Causeway or a Burren wild rose at the Poulnabrone Dolman? Travel note: we arrived at the Giant’s Causeway in the late afternoon and were disappointed with the amount of tourists (so many bus loads) clambering over the rocks trying to get the perfect selfie. If I get to travel there again, I will be there for sunrise.

This or that: Parknasilla Beach or Killarney, Ireland? Which one would you rather see printed?

Day 5: this or that? Trinity College, Dublin, Long Room: nook or overview?

Day 4: this or that for my printed cards. Close-up or environmental shot of puffins?

Day 3 of This or That: Portmagee (fishing town) or Valentina Island (fields and cottages)? Which one do you think would look better printed on a card?

Should I print this in black & white, or colour?

This week I need to decide upon new images for my note cards. So I’m going to play this or that... Killarney Castle(door detail)? Or Blarney Castle (viewed throughout marriage stone)?

Foxglove love. Sifting through travel photos and dreaming.

On our first warm day last week the stars aligned and I managed to sneak a quick session in with this beautiful mama-to-be.

What a difference one week makes... just 7 days ago we had so much snow! This snow gobbling bean made me laugh the whole time I was photographing him. He has such a funny personality.

Smash & bath! Thanks for the gorgeous cake @sugarandplenty

Before every cake smash we sneak in a few portraits.

I love how these two look at each other!

After almost two months of mandated closure Lockdown, my little studio is finally able to accept bookings!!!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all get a chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine!

Lockdown chronicle 20210213: after a super cold night we had a fantastic sugary dusting of frost.

Bath time! I forgot the rubber ducky!!!

Lockdown memoir 320210202: This week I noticed my little pup falling asleep leaning against the wall standing up. This is the 3rd time this week! I’m not sure when he started doing this but at the moment it’s pretty entertaining.

Spinach spelt brownies. I needed an excuse to make these. They are healthy, really.

The best part of photographing a cake smash is watching the sweet one’s eyes light up as the sugar hits their tastebuds and they have the ‘a-ha and mmmmm’ moment.

In a cake smash session we begin with some portraits which allows baby to adjust to my studio. Do you prefer the colour version or black and white?

Happy November 7! I hope the weather where you are is as fabulous as it is here in Port Elgin. Now that the leaves are on the ground, there are some gorgeous fall photo opportunities.

I was so lucky to have this sweet girl in my studio for her first birthday and cake smash. She was the sweetest! Prepare for lots more photos from this session.

Good morning! It’s a gloomy day, here in Bruce County. And it’s beginning to snow! I thought this photo would bring you a little sunshine. And it’s a good reminder to do your stretches! . . .... . . . . . . . . . . . . #muirgenphoto #candidchildhood #ontariophotographer #brucecountyphotographer#ontario #owensoundphotographer#collingwoodphotographer#thesincerestoryteller #lightinspired #brucecounty #saugeenshores #portelgin #southampton #kincardine #chesley #owensound #collingwood #remarkablyimagined#bluemountains#lifestylephotography #ontariofamilyphotographer

This simple fall session was squeezed between rain showers. Then the sun peaked out and it was perfect in the shade. The session happened at Krug Memorial Park in Chesley. It’s a gorgeous location for photos. What’s your favourite fall photo location?. . .... . . . . . . . . . #brucecounty #saugeenshores #portelgin #southampton #kincardine #chesley #owensound #collingwood #littleadventures_bigpictures#bluemountains #collingwoodphotographer #ontariofamilyphotographer #ontariophotographer #muirgenphoto #candidchildhood #ontariophotographer #brucecountyphotographer #saugeenshoresphotographer #owensoundphotographer#lightinspired

Something to make you smile today. Another one from the porch session. Your business makes a world of difference to this small business. A gift card for a photo session makes a fantastic gift.

Another golden image from this fantastic engagement session.

I hope your Sunday is full of snuggles!

Yesterday was pretty amazing. We managed to capture this session in-between the raindrops and before the wild storm. This is my first look at the photos and I can’t wait to share more! . .... . . . . . . . . . #muirgenphoto #saugeenshores #brucecountyphotographer #saugeenshoresphotographer #southamptonphotographer #portelginphotographer #owensoundphotographer#collingwoodphotographer#collingwood #southampton #portelgin #chesley

I love everything about this photo: the muted tones, the look (and reflection in his eye), the greenery below him, and most importantly both parents hands supporting him. . . . .... . . . . #muirgenphoto #candidchildhood #ontariophotographer #brucecountyphotographer #saugeenshores #saugeenshoresphotographer #portelgin #southamptonphotographer #portelginphotographer #owensoundphotographer#collingwoodphotographer#thesincerestoryteller #clickmagazine #hellostoryteller #lightinspired

Yesterday was golden!

Candid or posed? Which do you prefer? I understand the need for posed photos, but my preference leans towards candids. #muirgenphoto #lucknow #fallphotosession #autumn #brucecountyphotographer #saugeenshores #ontario #southampton #portelgin #owensound #collingwood #thesincerestoryteller #clickmagazine #hellostoryteller #lightinspired
