{S} Family

I had lots of fun today with this family. Despite a bit of a rocky start with some tears (not mine!) we got some really awesome shots. Have you ever seen cuter dimples on a pair of kids -I don't think so. Mom and Dad are pretty cute too. Thanks for the fun guys, I hope you like your preview!

A Few More of the {M} Family

They are just too cute these two, I had to post a few more pictures. Thanks for the fun you guys and I hope you enjoy your photos!

{M} Family

These guys were awesome to photograph, I had so much fun with them tonight! They were game to try anything I asked, and I think we got some pretty good shots. It is too hard to decide which one is my favourite, so I have to post all that I managed to edit tonight. Enjoy your sneak preview Ashleigh and Taylor!

{T} Family

This was a fun family to photograph, the boys are a hoot -definitely busy little people. I had to laugh to myself because it was almost like looking through a crystal ball -my two boys are also this close together in age, and it's like having a ring leader and a henchman rolled together in one package.  Never a dull moment. :)
Busy they were, but also super cute and sweet. And look at that couple, aren't they gorgeous! Thanks for letting me photograph your family Kerry, enjoy your sneak peek!

Otis

My dear friend Jess is in town and we had to go out to "my truck" and take some photos. We actually named him, Otis, for Otis Redding of course. If the gentleman that owns this awesome vehicle ever decides that he doesn't want it anymore I will be crying my eyes out for the loss of this, my biggest photography prop.

Jess has to be one of the most gorgeous people I know, as you can see from these photos. Amazing! Thanks for the fun Jess!

{A} and {K} Grad Photos

My holiday last week put me a little behind on editing photos. I am still working away at these grad photos, so many too choose from! These girls were so much fun, I've known {A} for nearly four years, and I'm so excited for her and what the future holds. Congratulations you two, here's another little sneak peak until I'm all done.

{L} Portraits

This beautiful lady is currently one of my co-workers, but sadly will be leaving us in a few short weeks. I've always appreciated her sunny disposition and can do attitude, and she will be sorely missed. We had a work retreat at Fort Edmonton Park recently and we took the opportunity to take a few photos afterward. I've really never had the desire to live in the country before. I live in a small town, but that's been country enough, no farm for me. However, as I've become more interested in photography I've had this intense desire to own land so that I can bring in my own photography props. If I ever did have the space, (and land with an old rail line!), I would definitely be on the hunt for an old rail car. Sigh, it's gorgeous! I know, silly, but a girl can dream, right?

Workshop Photos

I have been super busy since attending the Nichole Van photography workshop in Salt Lake City in March. Life truly has been a whirlwind, albeit a good one. I learned so much with Nichole, and had a great time. Here's a couple of shots from our practice session. Grads are so much fun to photograph, all the drama and fun of a wedding minus the big day stress. :) These girls were gorgeous too, that doesn't hurt!

A Charming Ten Month Old

It's hard to believe that my baby will be ten months old in a few days. She is just the most darling little lady!

Real Life Pictures

Well, there are days around my house when my little people just do NOT want their picture taken anymore. I'm sure you've experienced the same thing. It can be disappointing if you have planned to have "the greatest family photo ever" and your three year old doesn't cooperate. On the other hand it doesn't get more real than this. My particular, special, adorable, little three year old has one of the best pouty faces I know. And I will look back on this photography in twenty years and love it. Maybe even more than all the cheesy grin ones. It does help though if you can at least a few sweet ones in before hand, like two brothers whispering secrets into each others ears.
