Yesterday I got to practice my french with a fantastic family (and wow, are those skills rusty!) I have known this Maman since we were very young, but haven’t seen her for about 8 years! It was lovely meeting her husband and beautiful kids, and spending some time with them down by the creek near their home. Another Short & Sweet session full of fun and laughter! A few of my favorites…
Their oldest daughter just loves the camera (and the camera loves her back!) She was all smiles, and full of questions, mostly about my lenses and gear. It was fun trying to remember how to answer her in french, and asking her to repeat herself slower. lol!
And the baby…oh she is SO cute! Watching her run around and trying to get her to pause for a second to photograph her was super fun! It is just like trying to get a photo of Grace right now…next to impossible!
It was great playing with you guys! Thanks for the fun.

I had the pleasure to work with a great family for a Short & Sweet session out at an acreage where I just LOVE to take clients. We survived some mild mosquitoes snacking on us, a sweet little farm cat that really wanted to be in our photos, and we even managed to get the family pooch to smile for me, all in 30 minutes (or so!) Here’s a peek at what we did. Enjoy!
These boys were so funny. “Do I have to touch him?” Can you feel the love? lol! I just love teenagers!
And Mom and Dad, can I just say Wow! 20 years and you are still smiling at each other and having fun! 
Thanks for bringing your family to meet me! I am glad we could pack so much fun into a half an hour!

This sweet little girl stole my heart! As the smallest little person I have photographed (At under 6 pounds!) she was such an easy baby to work (play?) with. I am incredibly thankful for my amazing clients that trust me to catch these fleeting moments. In the days, weeks and months to come, she will change and grow and develop her own personality and ideas, but forever and ever I have been blessed to be a part of crystallizing this moment, this tiny portion of who she is. Thank you. 
Welcome, little one. You are loved.

PS~ The safety of newborns (and all my clients) is my #1 priority. For photographers and aspiring amateurs, please see this fantastic article on photographing newborns safely. Thank you.

So what feels like forever ago (but was actually only a few months ago) I was in New York visiting my sister and her family and we decided to take the babies (21 months and 2 years at the time) to the Central Park Zoo. Now I have wanted to post these forever for family, but summer and camping and busy called and so here they are finally. It was such a great time, my only regret was that Daddy wasn’t there to share in the first zoo experience. Grace especially loved the monkeys and birds in the tropical pavilion, but I think the pigs were a hit and the goats terrified her, for some reason. Her cousin Claire seemed to love the whole thing, except the bridge (huh?) Kids are so funny.
If you are ever in NY, I would suggest taking the kids to the zoo in the Park. It was an awesome time, and it played them right out!

New babies always strike me as such a miracle. Photographing women while they are in the midst of that miracle, life growing and engaging inside them, always brings me back to my own pregnancy and the joy of being apart of something so much bigger than myself. My husband and I often sat and watched this little person kick and roll in wonder, imagining how something so grand could start from two little pieces of each of us so infinitesimal. Spending time with Kimberley brought me right back to the wonder and awe of pregnancy. I was so happy to be able to spend time with this beautiful Momma showing off her miracle. And now I present the future prince or princess, a-la-womb 
And seriously my favorite from our session…
Thank you for sharing your miracle with me, Kimberley. I can’t wait to meet and photograph that sweet little love bug!

I love Alli! I met Alli a billion years ago over the computer and through a mutual love of photography we have become great friends. I was honoured when she asked me to photograph the gorgeous girls in her family. How much fun would it be to have three baby sisters?!? So amidst a cool May blizzard (what?) we ventured out to play. Thankfully we stayed indoors for most of the time and were able to have a lot of fun. I had a hard time picking my favorites, but here are just a sneak at the ones I love the very most!
Thanks for hanging out, ladies! It was fun

We are having a SALE!!! On gorgeous Canvas Gallery Wraps! I just found out that my specialty printer is having a sale, and so I am passing on those savings to you! Gallery Wraps are the most beautiful way to display your images. The image is printed on Canvas and wrapped around the edges of a stretcher bar, meaning you don’t have to have any framing done. You don’t need to worry about the frame taking away from your art work! As soon as you receive your Gallery Wrap you can hang it up. Here are a few samples being enjoyed in one client’s home.
Gallery Wraps really are my favorite way to decorate!
If you were dreaming of a gallery wrap from your past session, now is your opportunity! This year’s clients may also pre-purchase their Gallery Wraps before their session. I have two sizes that are 40% off regular price!
16×24 $320 (regular $530)
20×30 $456 (regular $760)
Like all great things, their is a limited number of days and Gallery Wraps to be had. This promotion is available to the first 5 clients and closes by Monday, May 1oth. So lets chat. I would love to cover your walls with an art piece of you and your family!
~ Ciao, Justina

Wow! It has been over two months since I last posted. I have really enjoyed the break that I have been taking over the winter. It is so super wonderful to play with my daughter all day, and to use nap times to clean and take care of my house and family rather than to work on the computer! I do miss you, sweet humming computer, though. And so I come back to you, every single day, but only for a few minutes to quickly check emails, respond and sometimes do a little FB stalking.
So I cannot believe that today marks the 18 month of life outside my tummy for my little monkey! Life has just sped up so incredibly for me this past year. I absolutely LOVE everything about this stage in her little life (it just keeps getting better and better!!!) I love the walking (now running), I love the communication (sweet little words spilling out of her mouth, as well as a few signs) I love the playing, the figuring out, the understanding so stinkin much…I am pretty sure she is brilliant (said like a true parent! lol!) She stuns me every. single. day. You know that feeling when you are so in love your breath catches in your throat and your eyes well up? That is how it is watching her learn and play and grow. I can’t believe how blessed we are to parent her.
So this weekend was the annual Professional Photographers of Canada- Alberta convention, Exposure, which just happened to be in Edmonton (hooray) and so I was able to attend workshops for the first time in about 2 years (can’t go too far with a baby nursing all the time!) I was joined by my amazing friend Alli, and together we had a fantastic time hanging out, learning, laughing, crying, and mostly just enjoying the company of some great Albertan photographers. Although I really did enjoy so much of the 4 day conference, I realized today (at the end of the last full day away from my kidlet) how incredibly lucky I am to stay at home with her. I love that I have a career that allows me the time to stay home and enjoy her, while still giving me that outlet that I need for my creativity and my desire to be apart of something great in other people’s lives. Oh am I a lucky ducky!
I also wanted to show off some gorgeous cards that I just got in for a fabulous client/amazing friend. I so love this little guy’s session! And here is my little 18 month old in her sweet pj’s moments after bouncing out of bed. I love the bed head (she takes after her mama for sure!)

Oh it has taken me so long to narrow down my favorites from this sweet little boy! Him and his brother were excellent little models. I love how tiny newborns are, how fine their hair is and small their little legs are. It is such a joy spending time with these perfect little people. Henry is no exception. He was happy and awake, and happy fast asleep. And his older brother is the cutest little guy ever! You can just imagine the two of them as best friends in a few months. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites. 
Thank you so much for letting me use your precious baby boy to try out some new things. He made my day.
