What could be my last outdoor session of the season happened to be with two very cute kids. I have photographed this family in the past, and was thrilled to meet there littlest darling, such a sweet little girl! We had some fun outside then took it inside to get out of the chilly air. Thanks for taking a risk on such a breezy night, guys!
...and our prayers were answered! After having to reschedule because of crazy strong wind, I was able to spend an early evening with this amazing family. They were celebrating their mother, Marion, who has just turned 70 years young. I felt right at home with this group. Such easy smilers, happy laughers and funny teasers; how lucky am I? I hope that I am still looking this much in love when I am almost 42 years married!
Miss Lola started out a little camera shy, but ended up stealing the spotlight!
Much to his wife's dismay, we were shocked to see that Mark had broken the cardinal rule of getting your photos taken...WHITE SOCKS!
Thank you for letting me be a part of your oh so special occasion!
...and I was fortunate enough to spend it with one of my favorite families. We found some fun nooks and crannies to explore, and stayed cool in the shade. Mr. Malcolm is just growing so fast, I cannot believe it was just a few months ago that we were doing his newborn session! Your kids, as always, are such fun to photograph. Thanks so much, guys!
I love working with friends, and that is what I got to do yesterday. My friends have wanted to get their kids, 3 sweet cousins, together to take photos for a long time, but schedules, a new baby and old man winter all have gotten in the way...until yesterday. We had a lovely time scouting out a new field (which just happened to be in the middle of town!) and trying to get the littlest man to smile!
I cannot believe how big all the kids are getting! I am glad we finally got the chance to get out and grab some fun moments with the kids. Thanks a bunch guys. Enjoy...
I know we need it so badly...but I wish it would rain at night and be sunny during the day. I feel so cooped up when it is stormy and gloomy all day long! I was disappointing on Tuesday when it showered all day (but happy for my garden) because I was afraid I would have to cancel my session with a great family I was really looking forward to shooting (I guess I should say photographing...hahaha)
We decided to play it by ear, and watch the weather for a break. And we were lucky to catch one! The rain held up long enough for us to have a great time out at the farm. Sitting on the ground was a little tricky, but nothing we couldn't handle.
Friday I got to meet 6 week old little miss Ashley for the first time. This little girl was so sweet for me, staying wide awake for part of our time together, and falling fast asleep for the other half of our session. I hadn't seen her big brother, Isaac, since he was three weeks old, and I cannot believe how much he has grown and changed. His gorgeous blue eyes sparkled with mischief, and he had so much fun jumping on the bed for me. Thank you so much for letting me photograph your beautiful family, Lesley.
After having to reschedule time and time again because of the weather, we were finally able to get out take some more photos of beautiful little miss Katjana and her family. I have known this little beauty since she was still in her mommy's tummy. She has changed so much since we took her newborn photos, and can you believe those eyes! Here's a peak at some of the fun we had. It was so great to play and listen to her little giggle. Thanks Stacy and Phil!
And who can forget your big brother Garrett and his boundless energy!
I was invited to a wedding two weekends ago. A family wedding. Everyone knows that family weddings are the best, what with all the visiting and carrying on. This wedding just happened to be in Saskatchewan, which is cool cause it means I got to go away for the weekend, and it also happened to be my super cool cousin Leighton's wedding, which means lots of fun with cousins and aunts and uncles and the like. My Aunty asked me if I would photograph my two cousins the night before the wedding when we arrived.
So the weather looked pretty bad on the drive up, but we managed to get to the farm just in time for the storm to pass and to watch a beautiful sunset. The boys were still at the wedding rehearsal, so we waited and waited, and finally they got home. By the time we got started, the sun was literally below the horizon, and the knee high grass was soaking wet and FULL of misquitoes! We still had fun goofing around and using up the last of the light. Falling through the burnt out trailer trying to get a higher vantage point was a little sketchy, but worth it. Boys, I had so much fun! And I gotta tell you, you guys are some kinda good lookin'!
Does anyone actually know what we are celebrating? I think it has to do with the monarchy, and I am not complaining. This year it is so nice to get some good weather...I remember years past shoveling snow, shivering at a camp site and not really enjoying the holiday at all. Not so this year. Thank God for the beautiful weather. Even with the wind, it is so nice to have sun, and to actually need to mow my lawn. Strangely I have Christmas carols playing on my Itunes right now...hmmm.
Today I had the pleasure of taking some photographs of Trisha, Dwight and Jorja playing. These are some of my faves from a really fun morning. Thanks for the great time and the chance to get out in the great weather guys.
I got to play with such a fun little guy this week. Harris is always on the go, keeping his mom on her toes all the time. He is such a sweet heart, and this is the second time I have gotten to photograph him; mind you the last time he was a lot less mobile!
Then he decided it was time for a snack.
Now he had some more energy to PLAY! And play he did.
