The Gingerbread House!

Last week I was working nights, so Leyton and I had a chance to do some Christmas fun crafts. Here's our beautiful gingerbread house. I'm surprised there's any candies left on it, she was pretty intent on eating as many as she could before they got on the house!! Turned out alright!!

Winding down...

So I'm finally starting to wind down on my Christmas photos for the year...whew, that was a bit of a hectic couple months, but I've made it through. Here is the last set I did, you've seen this family before. Cooper is already almost 4 months old...wow, time goes quickly!

Grey Cup and Photos!

Last weekend we headed over to Reid and Erin's to watch some Grey Cup action (poor Saskatchewan...) but we snuck out before hand to get a couple photos for their Christmas Card this year. Here they are...what a cute fam!

A November Morning...

If you can believe it, this was taken this week. When is the last time you could take off your coat on a November afternoon and not be too cold? Decided to try a balloon photo shoot again with Leyton as the last set we tried crashed my computer! Happy to say the results were better this time (with my computer at least!). Our house has fully recovered from our sickness of last weekend, but now I seem to miraculously lost my voice...crap! Oh well, I'll keep gargling the Listerine (I swear that stuff could take paint off... so gross) and hope that it gets better!

Where I sometimes get my ideas...

These days there are so many resources for anyone looking for inspiration, help, or just plain fun toys to use in photography...I have to say sometimes the amount of information out there is overwhelming!! I've had some help lately with a couple of websites...

the Savvy Photographer
Clickin Mom's
Two photogs

These are a few of my faves...but the list just keeps getting longer...if only there were more hours in the day!! Haha!

What I was up to last weekend...

So you'll recognize some of these girls, from a shoot that I did this summer with my friend Kendra and her dental office staff. Well they've now expanded and added some new faces so we headed out on the weekend to get some more shots of the group. They braved the chilly wind on Sunday morning, and I think we got some pretty cool shots, they were VERY good sports! Then we combo'd that with some family shots of Kendra and her family...isn't Esme just as cute as a button?? Enjoy the sneak peek!!

Color Challenge!

So, I have to confess. I am a total blog stalker...not just any kind of blogs though...anything to do with photography kind of blogs. Well, I've been following a couple photographers in Calgary for some time now, but they have just recently started a new blog for aspiring and (already) photographers. Their first challenge was a color challenge...as you can tell mine was pink!



Not in any particular order...my new kicks, Leyton's lamp, asleep sign on L's door, L's princess dress, the top of my beanbag laptop desk, L's spongy floor mat, my fav pink TNA sweater (and my Man hands...yuck!), L's lounge chair, L's play fridge, L's bathtup hippo toy, globe in my office, and last but not least, my canvas alphabet painting that I painted for her when she was born. All of these things really seem like nothing, but funny seeing them all together, I realize how many of them I see EVERY day!! Makes me realize how much pink I see everyday. And really makes me wonder how with all this pink in L's life her favorite color is....wait for it....PURPLE!! What??

Back from Cali...

A couple quick images as I'm now back...but just trying to catch my breath! I am trying to catch up on emails and questions first, then on to editing....I'm hoping galleries will be up by the end of the week...cross your fingers!! My girl is actually starting to like getting her photo taken...really? Only took 3 years!! haha! :)

Away for awhile...

I'm headed out of cold Calgary, to Sunny San Diego for the next couple days for a conference for work....oh darn...San Diego!! Haha sorry guys. So if you're emailing, I probably won't be responding until early next week. My computer is going to be getting a makeover while I'm gone too, so hopefully we'll be good to go when I'm back. Thanks and talk to you soon!!

Baby Jupp...& trying out new posting...

I'm trying out a new way to post and hopefully it will make my photos bigger on the blog. And I'm doing so with my friend Jen's new babe Eric....so sweet, LOVE all the hair, he is so cool!



Busy, Busy, Busy...

Last week was a bit of a whirlwind, between working the weekend at my "real" job and fitting in 9 sessions in the past week, I'm about ready for bed!! Here's a sneak peek at the first one of last week. This is Grayden, aka- duplicate copy of his big brother Jace who was on this blog just over two years ago (here) . What a beautiful family, nice work guys!

Funny


I'm sure anyone who has tried to take photos of a child knows, it may sometimes take 100 shots just to get that perfect "ONE". Well, Cheralyn and I worked VERY hard last weekend when we went to visit, and I thought this picture was funny because it pretty much sums up our attempts at getting that one great shot...better luck next time I guess! Ah what beautiful...pumpkins! :)

the best day was today

Let Avery choose the title, headed out to try and find some pumpkins today, and after a couple tries found this place. Took some shots we thought Grandpa Thorsen would like on the old truck... Leyton fell off the truck, Benny fell on his face, Ady ran away, and Avery was perfect....crazy day, but fun all around...here's the proof!
