I was so excited to come back and do this newborn session, I think Mom is super fun, and we had a great old chat about eyebrow obsessions. LOL!
She was great about trying out some new things, so we gave a new hat and a new baby sleeping bag a whirl. He is just too cute, and I couldn’t resist the first shot - it jumped out at me when I was reviewing the images!

This little newborn cutie is going to be a big fan of the outdooors I think, just like his mom and dad. I was excited when they mentioned that they were hoping for nice weather for the session so that maybe we could do some photos in their backyard. YAY!
It was a beautiful day in Calgary, and baby was so awesome and adorable. I have so many favorites from this session, I had to stop myself from showing them all!

June 16, 2009 - 1:06 pm - pure sweetness!! Love the mom & baby shot so much Brandy. I *WISH* I had a portrait of this caliber of my own displayed in our home because that time in our lives was so fleeting..
June 18, 2009 - 1:35 pm - I love the all. Such awesome images. I love the little smile.
I had the honor of photographing this family with their new member, recently adopted from Ethiopia. Even though he has been with them for a short time, he is so obviously much at home and very loved.
It was such a fun session, their three-year old daughter is a total charmer, Mom has a great singing voice, and Dad was a great playmate for the kids - making them laugh so hard!
I can honestly say that it’s sessions like these that make me so thrilled to be able to do what I do.
June 6, 2009 - 7:05 am - Gorgeous work!! Congratulations to the family!
June 6, 2009 - 7:16 am - He could not be any more adorable! And all together they make such a beautiful family. These are such fantastic images to capture part of their story.

June 17, 2009 - 11:41 am - He is ADORABLE!!! I know they will always treasure these.
June 18, 2009 - 11:08 pm - #1 melts my heart. What a beautiful family and beautiful capture of their love!
I bet Dad was feeling pretty out-numbered with his two sweet daughters and lovely wife. Now he’s got someone on his side when the bathroom wars start in a few years!
This little guy was the ultimate in cuteness, he slept like a pro and had the sweetest expressions. What I want to know though, is why do little boys get THE best eyelashes?
So not fair, lol. I had a wonderful afternoon with this amazing family, they were funny and sweet and loved one another dearly. I can’t wait to see them all again for a family session!
June 3, 2009 - 4:27 am - Oh my, those lashes are just beyond delicious and I adore the way you captured them. Yay for dad having some back up. The little girl at the end....sigh, she is divine.
June 3, 2009 - 6:10 am - oh how cute is he??? great pics Brandy!!
June 3, 2009 - 10:06 am - these are absolutely beautiful! Love!
June 3, 2009 - 11:55 am - OH these are just stunning! I LOVE THE EYELASH ONE! But they are all beautiful. It really isn't fair that boys get the good eyelashes everytime.
June 4, 2009 - 12:42 am - ohhhh he is so so sweet and the images are just perfection.......
June 4, 2009 - 1:24 am - Gorgeous gorgeous work!
June 4, 2009 - 11:22 pm - LOVE these Brandy! So fresh and fun. I agree...no fair...boys always have the best eyelashes!!
June 5, 2009 - 2:39 pm - I love these...you are so talented!

June 5, 2009 - 4:58 pm - Sweet! Beautiful as always!

One of the first things that comes up when someone talks about my blog to me is Charlotte and her ability to get into everything and anything. It makes people feel happy that they are not me. LOL
I get a lot of “I would be so mad, it’s so awesome that you take pictures instead!”. Let’s just say that my kids get in A LOT more troubling messes than you will ever see on the blog. Those are the times when it wasn’t cute enough for me not to get mad. Like last week when Charlotte took ALL of my good makeup brushes and used them to clean chocolate off of her hands. On my white duvet. That’s the stuff that doesn’t get blogged. LOL But tonight you can enjoy my pain by taking a look at how I found Charlotte earlier this afternoon.
What on earth . . .
Ahhhh. It all becomes clear . . .
Her lips do look plump and shiny . . .
I know that after a hard day of lip gloss application, there is nothing better than passing out on a mini trampoline . . .
May 20, 2009 - 11:56 pm - That is FANTASTIC !!! Well...not fantastic - but great that you captured such a "moment" !! Her lips look fabulous ;)
May 21, 2009 - 1:28 am - You are such an awesome mom!!! Go you for documenting these and seeing the humor in remembering these busy years of child rearing.
May 21, 2009 - 7:00 am - Hahahahaha!!! That's hilarious! Moments like those are the kind you just have to photograph! Thanks for sharing them!
May 21, 2009 - 7:31 am - ha ha ha!! Oh my stars! That is perfect!!
May 21, 2009 - 8:44 am - love this! makes me feels better about our painted hands/faces/couches!
May 21, 2009 - 8:58 am - That is going to make me laugh all day! It will be so fun to show these images to her when she is grown!
May 21, 2009 - 3:30 pm - Toooo funny! Being a parent means never having a dull moment. At least it looks like the lip gloss was mainly on skin...that's a bonus:)
May 21, 2009 - 8:36 pm - Priceless!
May 22, 2009 - 9:15 pm - lol! It looks like someone got caught red handed !! LOL!
May 23, 2009 - 8:00 am - Oh my goodness! That is hilarious! Definitely bring out those photos at the rehersal dinner :)
May 23, 2009 - 9:33 am - That is so funny!!! I love how you make a whole story and play detective with the camera!!!
May 23, 2009 - 1:05 pm - LOL, oh my that is soooo cute and funny!!
May 25, 2009 - 11:06 am - Oh that is to bad- but darling pic!! On the bright side, amazing color!!
May 25, 2009 - 1:03 pm - she is the best!!! and you are the best for taking a moment to count to ten and capture the moments instead...lol
May 25, 2009 - 7:50 pm - LOL!! Better you than me though - I get mad first THEN think about taking a photo. But look at these great memories you have for them.
May 25, 2009 - 9:30 pm - OMG....this is hilarious! LOVE it!!
May 26, 2009 - 12:33 am - hilarious!!! her lips look lovely too! :)
May 26, 2009 - 8:09 am - oh no she didn't!!!!
May 26, 2009 - 6:22 pm - Hahahaha, how funny that you found her this way. What a sweet little babe she is. Too bad about the lip gloss but I would say these captures make it almost worth it, hehe.
May 26, 2009 - 8:12 pm - :) This one made me smile ear to ear.
May 27, 2009 - 7:39 am - OMG so cute! So Fun!
May 31, 2009 - 12:55 am - A smile for my face as I get ready to go to bed! Thanks for the cheer lol~~
June 2, 2009 - 1:21 pm - hehe that is tooo cute and something I see far too often at my house!
June 5, 2009 - 6:36 pm - Wow she sure can make a mess...and look good doing it! You had better lock her up soon though, with that much lip gloss how can the boys stay away! Great shots
June 13, 2009 - 12:43 pm - Precious!
My daughter Emma had her 6th birthday party atEnchanted Events last weekend and she says it was her best party ever.
I think so too, since I didn’t have to do a thing, not from make the invitations, plan the games, or clean up after! My idea of a perfect party!
The “fairies” there do such an amazing job with the kids, even the boys got into the swing of things, making crafts and playing games. The goody bags are taken care of by Enchanted Events as well, and the kids get to go shopping with a fairy penny to choose their own fun toys for their take-home prizes. The girls also all got fairy wings to take home, and the boys were given harmonicas. (Sorry about that parents, lol) Everyone had such a great time, I would so highly recommend a party there. In fact, Emma is going back this summer for fairy camp! She is so excited.
They got to make Sweet Dreams Pillows as one of their crafts:
They put wishing stones in their pillows:
They played Fairy Says:
And made Treasure Boxes:
Emma even kissed a frog:
The wonderful Lisa fromSugar Shack Cakesmade the most delicious Tinkerbell cake. We get a Sugar Shack cake for EVERY birthday. It’s astonishing that something that looks so amazing can taste even better!
They drank sparkle juice (sprite and orange juice) from real teacups:
And Emma got so many wonderful presents, she was on cloud 9:
I’m so proud to support local Calgary businesses, so please visit www.enchantedevents.ca and www.sugarshackcakes.ca!
May 21, 2009 - 7:53 am - Oh wow! That looks like so much fun! Happy birthday to your daughter, beautiful party photographs you've captured for her!!
May 25, 2009 - 7:51 pm - I want to have MY birthday party there (do they have the wings for grownups? glittery facepaint?). What a fun party!
May 31, 2009 - 1:10 am - Awe it looks like she had a blast! I love the look on her face in the last image!!
I couldn’t resist posting mostly belly shots from this recent maternity session. She just has one of THE cutest bellies I have ever seen!
We had a great Saturday digging around in her closet, flopping on her bed, and basically doing all the crazy stuff I make my clients do to get the photo.
Thanks again for a great time Marcy, I can’t wait to meet that little surprise and find out the name!
May 13, 2009 - 11:31 pm - Very cool Brandy - love your images!

May 30, 2009 - 10:28 am - great session brandy! that second image is especially fabulous.
I loved, loved, loved this client’s idea about incorporating the baby’s heartbeat into the session. Big brother thought it was pretty cool too. Another awesomely fun maternity session here in Calgary, as with so many of my clients, this family was up for anything. I can’t wait to go and meet this little one!
May 8, 2009 - 8:58 am - That is so fun to have the heartbeat monitor. Love the family shot, and wow- could her little belly be any more perfect!?

May 11, 2009 - 12:36 pm - What a fun way to document this pregnancy. Really like that first image! Brother looks adorable in his mohawk.
May 11, 2009 - 5:25 pm - Oh I love these! I really like the one with the family on the bed with the images of the little boy as a baby in the background. Very cool!
May 12, 2009 - 8:25 am - I love his lil hawk....I can't wait to see the newborn images!
May 12, 2009 - 1:13 pm - What a great idea. Such a beautiful mom-to-be.
May 13, 2009 - 5:57 pm - That is a cool idea to incorporate the heartbeat, love it. Big brother definitely looks excited and mum is just glowing.
