Sorry.

Dear readers:

I regret to inform that if you are a regular visitor of this blog you will have noticed I haven't been uploading lately. I still have lots of shoots to finish and deliver then post but t'is the season. Things are busy, and I am busier. Between working crazy amounts, shooting and editing, christmasy stuff, and family/social obligations, I have zero time for the internet. (Don't even get me started on how far behind in Gossip Girl I am) Forgive me if I don't post any of my other shoots till after December.

Sincerely,

Vanessa Reilly.

PS. Here's a cute picture of my godson to hold you over until January.

winter sessions - - michelle & carson.

Was put in contact with these guys through another client and I was more than thrilled to do a brother sister duo. The day however was a disgusting day. Freezing cold winds blowing one of the first snows of the season around. Down by the water was even c0lder. Brrrr!

winter sessions - - stephanie.

I grew up 4 houses away from Stephanie and her family. And she got married a week before I did. So thrilled for her cute little family, and their soon to be born baby girl hayley. It was really wonderful to catch up with her and hear all about her life. She was also one of the prettiest pregnant girls I've ever seen. Teeny tiny baby bump!

fall sessions - - brownlees

This is my favourite family to photograph ever. Seriously. Brit is SUCH a stunner, Jon is just too funny, and Ethan is the coolest kid ever. Even though it was kind of miserable out, you wouldn't know it. Best family ever. They're so much fun and such great parents.

fall sessions - - josh & lindsay

So this is my cousin and his epicly gorgeous girlfriend. I was stoked when they asked me to do photos. We started off with their cute pups and went for a walk on some trails, then ended off the beautiful day at one of my favourite buildings. It was a gorgeous day, and these are gorgeous people. Enjoy.

fall sessions - - kailey

This wee babe was so so cute. And although babies NEVER sleep when I take their photos, I got some really great ones out of miss Kailey. SO CUTE!

fall sessions - - randi, taylor & sydney

I was real good friends with Randi when I was in elementary school, back then her sister was just a little girl and the littlest sister wasn't even born! What a joy it was to see how they've grown. It was great to catch up and I had so much fun shooting these pretty ladies!

fall sessions - - thanksgiving family photos

Well, it seems as though I can't even vacation without getting hit up to take photos. I didn't mind at all. These photos are of my momma and pops, and my wonderfully hilarious aunt and uncle. Michael of course tagged along for the ride. Owen Sound is so beautiful and I adore being up there. We went on quite the adventure and it made for a really fun day. I love these guys!

fall sessions - - matt and kate.

Here's a cute little engagement session I did the other day. How cute are these two eh? I'm so thankful it was warm that day because we've had a few super cold days. These two were a lot of fun, and I had a great time shooting them. Here's a couple cute ones.

fall sessions - - kevin & amanda

I adore this couple in a large way. Probably one of the most enjoyable photoshoots I've done lately. I was friends with Amanda in highschool and while photographing them I remembered exactly why I liked her so much. They were a lot of fun and were really easy to shoot. A well matched couple if I do say so myself. This was also my first outdoor shoot of the new season, and we all had the red noses to prove it. I'm so glad they asked me to do their photos, and I hope they can hang them in their house and love them every day. Take a look at a few favourites. Aren't they cute?

fall sessions - - tristan

You might remember a little family I photographed at the beginning of the summer. They were half maternity photos and half family photos. That baby bump has now turned into the cutest little baby. Don't believe me? See for yourself!

fall sessions - - nicole.

I've known Nicole for a very many years. We grew up just a few blocks from each other and were in almost all the same classes since kindergarten. She's such a stunner and we had a great time shooting. I'm loving these photos and hope she loves them as much as I do!

fall sessions - - keegan.

So basically this baby is the son of a girl who's great aunt is a friend of mine? Maybe? I think that's it. Either way this photo shoot was commissioned and I did it. Newborns are my favourite, but I feel like the babies will never sleep when I shoot(photograph) them (I'd much prefer it if they did sleep) He would chill, but always awake. Oh well. This baby is crazy cute and I hope his mama asks me to take more when he's older. Here's a few.

fall sessions - - alexis.

So I know it's not technically fall yet but my September/October shoots will be classified as such. This is Alexis. Such a gorgeous girl. We definitely had a good time shooting. I was super stoked when she came up with the location idea of an empty convenience store. It was also fun just to drive around looking for places to shoot! Here's a couple of my favourites.

summer storm

Remember that huge storm we had a while ago? The one with the tornado warnings? Well I was terrified, and the only thing that kept me calm was taking pictures. Here's a few.
