Hello friends! Here is a post from a photoshoot I have recently done. Sorry I have been away for a while, life got really busy. I will be writing a life update post soon to fill you all in! I hope you enjoy this short story and some photos!

Phoenix Ray Photography

Well it was a cloudy Monday afternoon and I for sure thought we could get rained out. I was so excited for this photoshoot too, so when the rain held off you could say I was pretty excited.

This photoshoot involved a mother and a daughter. She was getting photos done for her fourth birthday – and yes she was wearing a princess dress and a tiara. Absolutely stunning and cute as a button little model I had to work with.

Goodbye Winter

Well I hope that this is it. I hope we don't see more snow until Christmas time, but I live in Canada so you never know when the next white stuff will fall from the sky. Honestly though, I enjoy living in a place where I get to experience all of the seasons instead of [...]

Nature for the Soul

February 26, 2020April 14, 2020by Phoenix Guilbeau3 Comments

Do you ever just stop and smell the flowers? This is a rhetorical question of course, for those of us that live in a climate where flowers can't grow all year round. I mean - do you ever take a second in your day to just appreciate your surroundings? Especially when you are out in [...]
