~playing in the ravine

September 7, 2010

So last week when I hung out with some sweet friends and their kids to take their family photos, I made a startling realization. I have known this Dad for 25 years!  (longer than I have known my own brother) It was so great to see him with his kids and remember being friends at just about his daughter’s age now! Puts it into perspective, that’s for sure. We had a lot of fun playing, and getting muddy in the ravine. Here are a few favorites from our session!

And PS your kids are gorgeous!!!

The last time I photographed this family, the kids were still in school and no babies had been born for a long, long time. Well fast forward a few years and there are 2 new additions, a daughter-in-law and beautiful new grand-daughter (Her newborn session is here!) It was decided that the family needed to commemorate the fact that the women now outnumber the men! Even though it happened to be the smokiest of evenings, we had a lot of fun out. Enjoy some of my favorites…

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!Edmonton Family photographer-004

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!

A Short & Sweet family…

August 13, 2010

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!St. Albert Family Photographer 003

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 :-)

I am thrilled with the weather today. Well it could be a shade warmer (-20 is not very fun to be honest) but the light…the gorgeous light! After rescheduling because of the pitiful lack of any light yesterday, I feel like today’s weather was a blessing (perhaps in disguise?) And I was able to meet with some friends to photograph their lovely, and I mean breathtakingly lovely, 8 month old daughter. You shall soon see what I mean. She really is a doll. Of course now that she is crawling she is a touch more challenging to catch holding still for my camera. But with mom’s help and a bit of running we were able to grab a few milliseconds of fabulousness. Seriously, I fell in love with this munchkin when she was a newborn, and every time I see her she takes my breath away. I can not wait to take the family outside in the spring to photograph them all. If you think she is cute, wait till you see her brothers!

Edmonton baby photographer 003Seriously, thank you for letting me get my hands on your daughter! She makes my heart flutter! And happy Hanukkah!!!

PS Thanks for watching the monkey while I played with your sweetheart, Mike. You wore her out so much she gave me a three hour nap today, hooray!

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. Sherwood Park Newborn Photographer 001

What could possibly be my last outdoor, non snowy session of 2009 happened just this week with one of my favorite families. Many of you know that I volunteered doing youth mentoring with Young Life in Fort Saskatchewan until I started my own family. This is Virgel, our area director for Young Life, and his beautiful wife and kids, my Young Life family 8) I so love photographing these gorgeous sweethearts! Not every family I spend time with has 5 great kids (and an adult adoptee…lol!) Enjoy the sneak peeks!
