Hey there! Thanks for taking time to visit my blog.

My name is Michelle Harvey and I am the owner/photographer of Everlasting Life Photography. I am located in the gorgeous Grey Bruce area of Ontario...although when we get snowed in for the winter I do second guess this statement! I have had a passion for the arts and the creative side to life for as long as I can remember. I love making time stand still and preserving the beauty in our lives at one particular moment. Check out my website for more information and galleries, and please feel free to send me an email with your comments or questions.

darling mr. L - mount forest newborn photographer

I love having sessions for smooshy little babies...especially since my baby isn't smooshy anymore. Little mr. L wasn't overly sleepy for our session so he made us work pretty hard! Having said that, I think our efforts were worth it, here are a few of my favorites so far, Congrats again mom n' dad, he is such a beautiful baby :)

natural edge beauty - mount forest photographer

My husband, the talented wood turner behind ~ Custom Turned ~ has been working long and hard to create this stunning set of nesting natural edge maple bowls. They all started out as one hunk of wood and are then cut into a roughly shaped cylinder to be turned on a lathe. This set was created by making multiple bowls out of that one original hunk of wood with careful attention to preserve the natural bark edge. I have been patiently waiting for this set to be finished and revealed as it is my favorite type of bowl that my husband creates. It is such a fascinating process to watch especially when you can see the very first rough piece of wood right down to the smooth silky sanded finished piece of art! You can feel these bowls first hand at the Riversong Gallery in Neustadt, ON where they are being displayed and offered for sale.

Without further delay, the fabulous five :)

I love my puppies!! - mount forest pet photographer

Ahh, I love spring!! We didn't stop going outside over the winter for walks but man it is sooo nice to feel the sun on your back these days :) While we were out lounging in the back yard I managed to get a couple of portraits of Tookie before she smooshed her nose all over my lens lol...I think it was worth the lens cleaning.

Daily Walk - Mount Forest Photographer

I absolutely LOVE this gorgeous springy weather! We went out through the fields for our regular walk with our doggies and I thought I would take my camera along since our little man could finally see the outdoors without being bundled in! Here is a portrait of my first little man and of course my newest little man :)
