It’s that time again! I have itchy feet and I want to pack my suitcase to come home! This year I will be booking sessions in the Clarenville and St. John’s areas from June 20 – August 6, 2012.
I am looking forward to a summer filled with wedding fun, but I can’t wait to see all of my regular family portrait clients (yes, it’s been a year since then!) and meet some new awesome people.
To book your session, email islandmistphotography@gmail.com or give me a call at (780) 271-7082.
I can’t wait to see you all!

Meet Lindsey. She is silly, funny and she does a great job when she comes to lend me a hand at photo shoots. So when Mat, her boyfriend called to say he wanted to propose, and he wanted me to take photos as he did it. I was stoked! Such an important part of their lives, and I got to be there for it! We spent a day texting back and forth- hashing out a plan. And Lindsey almost caught on, several times. I affectionately call her Ditzy Lindsey, but she sure wasn’t ditzy about this. She kept coming super close to catching on! Thankfully, she didn’t manage to put all of the pieces together – in the right order anyway. Please note, the look on her face above is not how she normally looks. That’s how she looked on Valentines Day when she saw Mat pop around the corner at a photo shoot. She was confused – but not for long…
After she had said yes, we headed out for a mini engagement session. The light was beyond gorgeous for a very short window of time, and these following two photos are my favourite images from that afternoon!
Congratulations Mat and Lindsey! Thank you Mat for being awesome enough to invite me along to capture your special moment, and thank you Lindsey for being your Ditzy awesome self!
xo,
Amy

This summer I joked that Lee is a professional groomsmen. He has stood at a wedding of mine pretty much every year, and is always a very cooperative Bridal Partier. (For those of you wondering, I did in fact just make up that word. I like it.) Anyway, so I was thrilled when he contacted me to take photos of him with his girlfriend Jackie, and their dog Chummy. Lee and I grew up in the same little tiny town and we know lots of the same people, so it was nice to catch up with him and get to know Jackie. I reaffirmed for her that where Lee and I are from, it’s OK to just visit someone and just walk right it. It’s just that great of a place. 
So, it was at this exact point in the conversation that I almost said, “So, when are you two going to tie the knot?”
But, I got distracted by something else and forgot all about it. It’s probably a good thing…..
Because if I had asked, “So when are you two going to tie the knot….?”
It might have ruined Lee’s suprise!!!
Yes ladies and gentleman, that there is a real life, true blue, down on one knee proposal that neither Jackie or myself saw coming. I am sooo glad I didn’t ruin the surprise. And that I was ready! Way to make 2 girls have a heart attack all at one time Lee!!!
Oh, and what about Chummy? How handsome is he!?
Thanks for picking me to be the one to capture that awesome moment for you! I look forward to seeing you both again soon!
xo,
Amy

Engagement sessions are one of my favourite sessions to shoot. It gives me a chance to get to know the couples prior to the their wedding, and then a chance to get comfortable in front of the lens. Of course, sometimes, it’s even more important. Melissa and Chris booked their wedding with me having only viewed my website, and because they live in Newfoundland where they are having their wedding, and I am based in Alberta, we hadn’t met face to face before. Email and phone conversations meant I knew I was going to love them both immediately, but they are positively great. It turns out that Chris and I went to the same church way back in the day, but unfortunately I don’t remember him! I will definitely know him next time I see him in a church (waiting for his blushing bride!).
Their little boy came out to the session with them, and he had an awesome time adventuring in the woods by Topsail Beach. After originally meeting for their session at Middle Cove Beach two weeks before, we had to reschedule. The wind was unbearable and everyone’s hair was horizontal. The rain, drizzle and fog doesn’t faze me often, but that day was ridiculous. Melissa and Chris were game to go ahead with their photos, but I knew they deserved better. I am so glad we waited to do them on a better day. The sun was splitting the rocks on the day we met up! It was fantastic!
Congratulations to the three of you! I am looking forward to seeing you all again at your wedding! I am so happy you chose me to be your wedding photographer, because your wedding is going to be beautiful, just like you guys! It’s going to be a fantastic day!

I always have a great time when I head out to photograph my clients, but sometimes I have an extraordinarily great time. I booked Andy and Stephanie’s wedding from Alberta, so I had never met them before I showed up at their cabin at Princeton Pond for their engagement photos. We know lots of the same people because we are from the same area originally, so I wasn’t too nervous, but as soon as I met them, it was like hanging out at the cabin with old friends! Even though Stephanie assures me she will be stressed on her wedding day, I am really, really looking forward to shooting their wedding next summer!
I should add that the editing process for these engagement photos was super tedious 
These two are fantastic photo subjects- there wasn’t a blink shot, funny expression or other wasted shot. It doesn’t hurt that Stephanie isn’t capable of taking a bad photo. She’s gorgeous!
….And you can’t beat the soft late evening sun, just before it goes behind the hills to make a gorgeous relaxed photo! It was fantastic to finally meet you guys, I can’t wait for next summer!
