Warmer Thoughts: Toronto Family Photos

It’s February, and it’s been snowing all day.  What better way to hibernate from the cold than to go through some old summer photo shoots?  This one is a favourite I’ve been meaning to post for ages, so today seems like the perfect day to do it.  Hopefully it brings back some warm summer memories!

Corby is a busy blogger, and, as all parents have to be, an expert multitasker (in fact, this is the name of his blog - check it out!).  So, naturally, while he was out barbequing one afternoon, he also had his blackberry on him and was the first to respond when I offered a contest.  I couldn’t have picked better winners – look at how cute his family is!

This is his little boy.  I love how he wrinkles up his nose when he really gets into his smiles!

Of course, his daughter is adorable too!  The kids are so sweet together.  She couldn’t resist sticking out her tongue when mom and dad weren’t looking!

And here is his beautiful wife.  What a lucky man you are to have such a gorgeous family, Corby!

I love the impish look in this one – and again with the wrinkly nose!

Thanks again for letting me share an afternoon with your lovely family, Corby.  You guys are all too cute!

For the rest of us, here’s to warm weather and fun times with family – let’s hope we all enjoy lots of both soon!

I’m excited to put up this post for two reasons:

1) It features a good friend of mine, the lovely Amanda Nelli

and

2) It gives me a chance to check out a feature of my new site, which gives me the ability to embed Lightbox galleries within a post.

Doubly exciting!

Amanda is an extremely talented mezzo soprano opera singer.  She also teaches elementary school music, and runs one of the coolest boys’ choirs ever (they’re called “The Terminators”, so really, how much cooler could they get?).

I’m upgrading!

Welcome to the new and improving website/blog for Caralin Ruth Photography!

My old website was in need of more than a little TLC, so I finally decided to make the leap and combine my website and blog into one.  Snazzy blog/site in one = less work and more goodness!  In order for this to work, I’ve made a promise to myself, and now to you, that I will keep this blog updated MUCH more regularly that I did in the past.  All of the other information that was available on my old website will still be here and will hopefully be easy to find and access.  That’s where you come in: as you browse around my new digs, please contact me (call, email, use my contact form, or send a carrier pigeon) to let me know your thoughts and suggestions on the new layout or anything within it.

Lucky for me, my decision to switch has timed perfectly with the release of an upgrade from ProPhoto blogs.  I’ve used and loved their ProPhoto2 theme since starting this blog, but the benefits of their new ProPhoto3 were going to make my new site better, sexier, and easier for both me and you, so I jumped at the chance!  If anyone is looking to start a photo blog, I really do recommend their services – they have amazing, easy-to-customize products and excellent customer service.

Anyway, please “excuse my dust” as I renovate – I hope you like the new site!
