Hands up...

I had to post this image. Tonight I was catching up on some editing and as I came across this image all I could hear in my head was..."hands up, baby hands up, give me your heart gimmie gimmie...your heart...". So I'll spare you all the verses and choruses...you can listen to it HERE . I'm pretty sure my version in my head was WAY better...but I digress...here is the image I was speaking (singing) of !

The Blossoms

Last week is my favorite time of year for actually paying attention to foliage...I know nerdy right, but who can resist the beautiful pink blossoms on the trees at this time of year? Not me...even if on a meridian in the middle of a street? This is half a block from our house and it was literally the shortest set of photos ever. I looked outside and a HUGE black cloud was on its way, there were even a few loud cracks of thunder as we headed out, but we ran out and went for it. Don't you just love the smile in the second photo? How many kids have you seen give that FAKE smile?? Haha, had to include it just for fun! Enjoy!

Sun Flare!

None of these photos are by any means perfect, and actually they are far from it...but the night was so beautiful, the sun was going down and I decided I wanted a family photo. Its a timer photo...so the best I could do to run to my spot in 10 seconds and to get two kids to look at a camera sitting on a foot stool! The others are just snaps and the last another timer shot of Log's and I. Some serious sun flare (more than I was hoping!) but who cares...one of not very many family photos of us!!




So much hair...and with highlights!!

This is Aia, a little sweetie that had sooo much hair, and if you look really close it actually has blond highlights on it. Can't say I've ever seen that before, so cool! Here's a couple photos for her sneak peek. I gotta get back to it...so much editing to do!!

Baby number Two...

This was baby number 2 last week for me, but baby number three for this family. I've had the pleasure of photographing this family since baby number one, and can't wait to watch them grow! He was another babe that wanted to stay awake, but we waited him out and he finally petered out. Cute little Dylan is already loved by his big brothers and I think Mom and Dad are going to be VERY busy with three boys in the house!! Congrats guys!

The first babe of last week...

Seems like a baby boom has begun! This is number one of three last week! She made me work, as she was really NOT into sleeping. So we took some family photos first and I came back another day to catch Miss Rylie on her own. So little, and so sweet!

Our new Garden

I think I mentioned a while ago that there was a community garden being built on our street that I had decided to get us a plot in. Well as the weather here has been not so great the building of it has been set back a bit. But after a lot of shoveling and building and leveling the planters were ready to be planted in this weekend. So on Sunday after my photon session I headed over with the girls to do some planting. Cheralyn and I found some info on a website in Calgary about gardening "by the foot", so that was my plan. I rigged up the string on Saturday night, and then read my trusty instructions on how many seeds, holes and plants to put in every designated area. We shall see if I am at all successful...hopefully SOMETHING grows! We shall see. There has been a bunch of rain here again this week, but I think the sun may finally make an appearance so maybe that will help some sprouts start to stick through the dirt. This isn't quite the finished product as I am still trying to devise some crafty way to mark all my plots (as usual Cheralyn is helping me out) and my trusty side kick gardener (Leyton) decided she didn't want her photo taken and ran away...sooo its just two boring photos of our plot and a couple others so you get the gist of what it looks like. I will post a couple full on shots of the garden once it is complete...still a bit of work to do. I really love the location (literally straight out our front door), and hopefully everyone continues to chip in and keep it beautiful. This week has been really busy with a family and 2 newborn sessions already...and still one more to go. Will try to keep up with some sneak peeks soon!

2 Posts in one night!

Normally there is no way! But apparently my family is all a bit played out from a busy day, as everyone (yes, including my husband) was asleep before 8 pm! GIves me a chance to get a little done, and since the hockey game was a bust, to editing it is! You've seen this family before here and here and as always they were cute as ever! I couldn't resist posting more than a few and believe me there's a ton more favorites that I haven't even got to yet! Beautiful family, beautiful colors! The last photo is for April as this is her old stomping grounds and I thought I would give her a shot of her old digs! Enjoy!!








Number 96

This weekend we headed down to Vulcan, Alberta about a one and a half hour drive from here for Leyton to do a little "Tinbit" traithalon. Kelly had contemplated doing the adult version but decided not to do it and so it was Leyton's "race day!" She was pretty pumped and was ready to do it, even though it was a chilly 7-ish degrees when it started. It was an outdoor pool, so needless to say it was a bit chilly. But there wasn't one complaint from her, she climbed in the water and was ready to go (maybe a bit early, but ready none the less!). Once she jumped out of the water it was a run to the bikes where we stripped off all her wet clothes so she didn't freeze. Then she ran her bike to the bike course and was on her way. She has been getting better and better riding without her training wheels and she did great on Saturday. Apparently she was even yelling at someone else's Dad to get out of her way because she was "losing time!" So funny, she was determined to be fast! Then they dropped the bikes and raced to the finish (which I wasn't fast enough to catch!). All in all the race only took about 5 minutes, but it was pretty cute and all (save for a few that were frozen or had wipeouts) the kids seemed to REALLY enjoy it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone with kids! Such a great day!
