{A} Family

How things can change in a few days. I used this location on Saturday for the {D} family and everything was fine. Three days later and a morning of rain turned the approach to this grove of trees into a mud pit. {J} and {K} were very nice about having to drag five kids through the mud, thanks for your patience guys! But I think it was worth it, love these shots. What a cute family you guys are, hope you enjoy them!

{D} Family

What a fun family session! Bless their hearts, these guys were game for anything and with a little bit of candy for encouragement these kids just kept going and going. I am in love with their images, it was very difficult to pick a few to showcase here, but here goes:

Check out the ginger hair, and those awesome blue/green eyes, wow! He is going to be a heartbreaker.

Mom had an idea to photograph the little lady in her grad dress as she loves to play dress up in it. Isn't it adorable?! Seriously, so darn cute!

The other brothers were looking pretty handsome too.

Enjoy your sneak peak guys, and thanks for having me photograph you!

{J} Family

Isn't it lovely when you reconnect with someone from high school and they are super nice and just an awesome person? Linnea and I both have moved far away from our home town in British Columbia but live fairly close to eachother now (in Alberta terms). What's even more funny is that our husbands grew up in towns about an hour apart in southwestern Saskatchewan. Small world eh? Anyway, she has just the darling-ist little family. Little man was so curious, fun and busy, busy, busy.  I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peak!

Win Win Win It Wednesday! Take Two

Okay, so apparently there is a difference between a facebook like button and a facebook like box. And I had the wrong one. Many apologies to confused people who tried to become a fan on facebook. It works now, so go ahead, click away, and I will make sure you are entered in my Win Win Win It Wednesday promotion. Again, what's up for grabs is a free family or portrait session. The winner will receive a free one hour session, including a CD with the digital negatives of fifteen - twenty edited photos and one 11x14 print.

Win Win Win It Wednesday!

It's the middle of a long week, and I'm a smidge bored, so let's spice things up a bit with a give away! One free family or child session will be given to a lucky individual. The winner will receive a free one hour session, including a CD with the digital negatives and one 11x14 print. How do you enter you ask? It's easy!

Step one: Just become a fan on facebook of Kirsten Anderson Photography (you can click the like button in the sidebar), put a comment in your facebook status, mention me on your blog, twitter about me, or shout my name from a rooftop. Well, that last suggestion may be a little over the top! hehehe But you get the drift, be creative!

Step two: Once you've become a fan, blogged or twittered about me just put a comment on this post with your name. Multiple entries are allowed so go crazy! A winner will be drawn on October 1st, just in time for beautiful fall family portraits or a special pumpkin/Halloween shoot with your little person. If you are not an immediate acquaintance of mine then please drop me an email so that I can contact you if win. Or keep your eyes glued to the blog come October 1 when I announce the winner.

On another note, I have recently purchased studio lights, and I'm having so much fun testing them out and mastering them. Winter is coming here and I'm looking forward to photographing families and children in my snug, warm studio!

Here's a shot of the little lady, I know she's mine so I'm biased but I have to say she's pretty adorable. On this particular day she wasn't having anything to do with me taking her picture, (could have something to do with four teeth coming in! Heaven help us!), but I do love this picture as it is one of her regular expressions. Gayle Boyd of Lilypad Lane made the tutu, and it is sooo cute! You can get more info on her store here.

Little Gentlemen

My two little men were willing models for me to test out my new studio lights, as soon as I promised them jelly bellies. Amazing what a little bribery will do! I'm seriously excited about these lights. Here in northern Alberta, where it can be winter-ish a good seven months of the year, having an indoor studio is going to be awesome! I can't wait to do more with these babies!
