We haven’t had much snow this winter and any that has fallen, it’s pretty much disappeared before our eyes. So when New Years Eve came around and we realized there was enough snow on the ground to get out and make Oliver his first…
We’ve been through three Autumns now with Oliver and this year we finally played in the leaves together! In previous years, it has just seemed like Oliver was (a) too young or (b) I was too late and the snow was…
Back in the fall, I shot some promo photos for Dana and her website. Oliver had fun playing while we were trying out some different poses and locations. In between makeup touch-ups and wardrobe changes…
For three years running now – we’ve taken a little family trip to Downey’s Farm. We’ve taken photos of our trips the previous two years and they have been ones that we cherish fondly. So it came time to take our third trip to the farm and this year didn’t disappoint….
At the end of September, I shot good friends Janet and Tigh’s engagement photos on Janet’s family farm. Dana, Oliver and I made a day of it and they came along for the ride. After we were done on the farm, we headed over…
Once again we celebrated Canada Day with our friends and old neighbours at the annual Rosedale Street Party. If you remember this is the day when Rosedale Ave. gets closed down for about 50+ kids…
Another Father’s Day has come and gone. Once again, the Ruprecht’s and the Connell’s got together in Port Severn at Mom & Dad Ruprecht’s place to celebrate Father’s Day. We spent a lot of the day…
This will be short and sweet I promise! Playing some extreme catch-up with Oliver’s Blog. I’m sorry to all the people who frequent this site (thanks Mom) as I have been slacking on getting new photos and video…
I love B/W Photographs. Always have. There is something about the richness of the tones that can be achieved in B/W’s that appeals directly to me. So for those that know my photography, I always try to include some B/W images…
The great spring thaw! On this day in March, it started to get warmer out and everything was melting. It still wasn’t warm enough to not have jackets, touques and gloves on, but it was certainly nice to feel…
November was a really hectic month around the Connell household. Dana was in full production mode for two craft shows…
Hallowe’en….Oh Hallowe’en. Hallowe’en was fun last year as it was Oliver’s first. Dana planned out this Fighter Pilot outfit that just worked so well given Oliver’s size and…
If you recall, one of our favourite photo sessions we did with Oliver was at Downey’s Farm where they have a pumpkin patch. Oliver was a little too young last year to do much more than…
Day six hundred and seventy nine (are you getting tired of all these numbers yet??? LOL!) saw Mum, Daddy and Oliver take a trip north to cousin Bobby’s house. It was Mum’s…
We like to get outside as much as possible. And since we are planners, this sometimes means that we have an outdoor excursion set for a day where the weather might not cooperate. This was…
We had been meaning to get up to Kingston to visit the “Dirties” for some time and finally in early August, we were able to clear one weekend and go and see them…
Another afternoon at Gage Park for the Connell family! Oliver loves playing in the playground and on the splash pad so how could we resist? We always have a great time…
We went for the petting zoo but stayed for the carnival! I wish I could say that more often but on this morning, it was all that we needed! Chingacousy park has a great petting zoo…
For the last two years, the neighbours of the Rosedale, Mill, Isabella area in downtown Brampton have gotten together to throw a Canada Day Street party for all the kids. This includes games…
Another wonderful afternoon in Gage Park in downtown Brampton, Oliver, Dana and I spent some time walking, running, and playing. Oliver had a couple of firsts this afternoon…
Mother’s day every year is a hectic day for us that Connell household. We usually end up trying to cram in as much visiting as possible on this day, which means we are trekking across most of Ontario! This year…
Oliver “The Aviator” Connell. That is what we so graciously named our dear son this Hallowe’en. He looked quite stunning in his costume in what was his first year celebrating the dark holiday. Dana had this idea…
Dana suggested that since this was Oliver’s first Hallowe’en that we take him to a pumpkin patch to see what he thinks of the pumpkins. Well, I think it’s safe to say that Oliver loves them! We went up to…
On this Saturday in September, Dana, Oliver and I traveled to Bolton Ontario to visit the Bolton Fall Fair. We spent the morning going through the petting zoo (where they had a…
