Those daddy moments...

Enjoy your day, you deserve it.

Love is in the Air

Spring Weddings are now making room for Summer Weddings, so we got together with our friend Wendy from Thimblecakes recently.  She does a fantastic job with cupcake towers and wedding cakes and she's at the top of our list of favourite neighbours!

A friend of mine has a lovely vintage engagement ring and graciously let us show it off a little in a photoshoot.  She will be marrying her man later this summer, and will be using the simple and sweet flower, shown above, in her bouquet.  Thanks for the inspiration L.

More photos to share from this later in the summer....

Exciting news!

I've been back in Northwestern Ontario now for almost a week.  I love that I sometimes travel working as a full-time photographer, and that I can go to my hometown for a semi-vacation and meet great new clients or meet again with others, but this trip home is especially exciting.  My brother and his wife were expecting a baby girl!  They had her 2 days before I arrived, so I was just in time for some photos of her first day at home.

I couldn't resist posting a photo, even an unedited quick one.  Check out the facebook page for a few more!

This is the first grandchild for my mom.  She's adorable and I can't wait to spend more time with her.  While the new parents get used to their routines I came to Dryden for some time with family and friends and also some sessions with new faces, and with one of my favourite clients.  It's been a great time so far, even the time spent moving plywood and painting and somehow managing to get a sunburn on a super cloudy, rainy week.  It's been great being back home but I will be off to see my niece for some cuddle time very soon! 

Here's another quick one of that sweet little newborn niece of mine!

While back in Northwestern Ontario I'm offering a special rate of $125 for my brief visit.  My lifestyle sessions are usually about an hour and a half, which gives us some room for locations, and fun activities for little ones. I will be heading to Thunder Bay on Saturday and making time for only a few more sessions while I'm there next week.  Send me an email at natalielyle@me.com to inquire about a session.
