Gorgeous Momma! Calgary Maternity Photographer

This session was so much fun! We were able to do a variety of shots both inside and outside and to say that this session challenged my creativity would be an understatement. I knew when we were setting up the session that my clients house was getting some renovations, but it was a complete construction zone! But it was no problem, we found a big window and set to work, good thing Mom wasn't worried about getting her photo taken...in front of a contractor who was doing a railing! I love the final product, but wish I would have taken a photo of our surroundings! You would be proud of me too! :) Here's just a small sampling of the day, what a great time. Can't wait to meet baby!

Anybody feel my pain? Calgary - Children's Photographer

On many occasions I have had people say to me that I must have so many photos of my own kids all around my house, which I actually do. I'm still terrible at keeping them all up to date but I have tried in the last little while to actually get them up on the wall, because really that is the point right? The other thing people have asked is "how to get such good photos of them?" . I always laugh when people say this because: 1) I usually spend half a photo session with my own kids bribing them, and 2)There usually are MANY photos like the ones below that you don't see! The other day when I took the photos of Leyton for her birthday, I also tried to get a couple of Logan with her skunk hat on. She got it for Christmas from my sister from here and its so cute, but I hadn't got any photos of it yet. Well, here is what ensued...literally I can see the thoughts in her mind...what is she doing with that black thing again? Does she really think I'm going to look at it? Oh look is that a bunny way off behind her? I am so outta here...is about what I think it would look like. I thought you all might enjoy these and maybe make you feel a bit better when your kids do the same (for you or me!).

The girl is 5! Really? Calgary - Children's Photographer

Every year I try to make sure I take my girls out for their birthday "photo shoot". I am a little late this year, but it was a tad cold last week and I was not going to drag them out in -30 to snap a couple photos! So as the sun was coming up this morning, I decided today was the day. As usual I hastily grabbed a couple things and bribed Leyton to come out with me to snap some shots. I have a very small window of opportunity with Leyton, she tires of my antics to get her to look into the camera quickly...as does my patience with her when she flat out refuses! So like any good mother I bribed her with a blizzard and some Wii and we had success. Now for the follow through! Feeling a little old having a 5 year old, but hey pretty proud of this little chick. :)

Just one - Calgary Maternity Photographer

This is just a quick peek at the fun I was up to yesterday. So fun hanging out with this Momma to be and her BFF (my sister in-law). I'll post some more soon, but for tonight, just one.

Couldn't resist posting this...

Being a newborn model can be very exhausting...

First newborn of the year!

Its been awhile since I have done newborn photos and this little man was the perfect way to start the new year and get me back in the swing of newborns again. The winter seems to be the busy season for babies so here we go! Little Henry was awake for the first while of our session and really didn't want to sleep for us, but we waited him out and got a ton of beautiful shots. Here are a couple sneak peeks for Mom and Dad. Happy New Year everyone!
