Anderson & Andrea’s Wedding

Serenity Birth Studio & Baby Shop: 12 Commerce Park Drive. Unit 1

Serenity Birth Studio and Baby Shop is one of my favourite places in Barrie. I have known Kathy, the owner, now for just over 4 years. This is really the place to shop for new & expecting moms, as well, what I think is so amazing is all the classes that they offer as well. If you are expecting, or a new mom, you will absolutely fall in love with this store. What I love about it is all the unique items that are available.

If you are an environmentally conscious consumer, then you will also love the huge variety of eco-friendly products. From natural & organic baby clothing, cloth diapers, Haba wooden toys (no toxins/no plastics), Bye Bye Buggy & Bye Bye Sun Organic bug and sun lotion, many other lines of fabulous organic & chemical free skin care products, baby slings, nursing bras and so much more.

Kathy as well as her very friendly and knowledgeable staff are a great resource for new moms as well. Not only does the store offer amazing products, but you can also sign up for the many classes that they offer as well. Some of the classes are pre-natal yoga, lamaze childbirth series, mom & baby yoga, make your own baby food workshop and more. It has been great to be able to refer my maternity and baby portrait clients to Serenity Birth Studio over the past many years. There is nowhere else like it in the Barrie area….what a jewel!!

And if you thought that was alot, you can also take advantage of their massage services for pregnancy and beyond. Their therapists and specialists in pregnancy massage can offer many benefits during your pregnancy and after delivery as well.

If you do get a chance to check out the store, some classes or a massage, you can check out my 2 black & white framed portraits hanging in the studio.

It’s an amazing place that you will want to visit….you can also check out the website www.SerenityBirthStudio.ca

John & Aimee’s Lakefront Wedding

John and Aimee were married this summer at their beautiful home on Lake Simcoe. It was truly a special wedding to photograph for me, because I had known Aimee since she was a teenager and was one of my camp counsellors at a daycamp that I supervised for a few summers in my University years. Anyway, I was so happy for the two of them, and you can really see how happy they are in these images, and what a fun day it was. We were lucky that the rain broke long enough for the bride and her bridesmaids to make their entrance via boat, coming from one of the neighbours down the lake. Actually, it was pretty interesting during the ‘getting ready’ part of the day, as another neighbour was helping us track the weather via internet satellite so that we could plan the boat trip…which was about 20 minutes, and arrive for the ceremony with the sun shining! Anyway, the music was playing as the boat arrived, and you could feel the excitement in the air. It truly was one of those beautiful and timeless moments…

Anyway, here are a few images from the day. I’ll be scanning some of the Black & Whites as well, and will post as soon as possible.

Cheers, and best wishes to you both!!

Silvio & Sue’s Wedding

Silvio and Sue had a fabulous wedding this summer, and another one of those few gorgeous days without rain!:) Anyway, it was a real treat getting to know them leading up to the wedding, and to photograph their wedding day. I love all the beautiful details…the flowers were soft and romantic, and the dress was absolutely gorgeous. The portraits and reception took place at the Barrie Country Club, which is a beautiful setting and gorgeous building. You guys are beautiful!!

Thanks again for letting me share in your day!

I’ll post some of the Black and White’s as soon as they are scanned…so keep posted.

Cheers,

Jen
