What can I say about Ben’s character traits at this three year milestone?  He’s very intelligent, talkative, sensitive (sometimes, right Josh?), handsome, humorous and cunning, all while missing a single front tooth.

Love you Ben.

-Mommy, Daddy & Joshua

Best of all, this site was a ground up effort from one very talented guy  (and a heck of a photographer ) named Sean McGrath who’s become a really great friend of mine during the whole process.  Thanks for all your work on this Sean.  More to come soon!

Just wanted to provide everyone on this page with an important update; I have decided to close our recent studio space in the People’s Mall (Commercial street, Glace Bay). While the space provided the next logical step for my business, I have quickly outgrown it. There were many aspects of that space that did not work well so we decided to close it now while we are ahead.

I have closed this space to think about future expansions. We are already working on a potential space that would be 1000x more productive and attractive to clients (and more central to the downtown core). I want to say thanks to everyone who is following this page, or made any comments; thanks so much for checking out my work. Please stay tuned…the future is bright.

David

I am so happy that he enjoyed his party.  6 months until Benjamin turns the big THREE.

Love you Joshua

Daddy, Mommy and Benjamin.

I botched Joshua’s “Muno” cake (From Yo Gabba Gabba) and it became a red alien monster with blue arms.  Sorry little man! hahaah
