Meet Kate – calgary newborn photography

Remember this belly? The most gorgeous, squishy, darling little girl came out of there and into the world right before Christmas. I know that Shelley was probably disappointed that she didn’t get a sneak peek before I left for my vacation, but I tricked her and scheduled this teaser to post

Beauty – calgary portrait photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting this young lady and her mom back in November, and they have been very patiently waiting for their sneak peek! I’m finally getting closer to blogging newer sessions, and I hope to be all caught up very soon! It’s a treat for me to photograph

Valentine’s Day is Just Around the Corner – calgary boudoir photography

It may feel like Christmas just ended, (ok it *did* just end) but it’s time to think of Valentine’s Day. It’s coming up fast and we are having ONE special weekend for boudoir photography. It’s being held at the Hotel Arts in Calgary on January 22nd and 23rd and all prints

I Love This Age! – calgary baby photographer

This was my third session with this family this year, and I love them soooooo much. They even gave me Buttercream Bake Shoppe cupcakes to take home with me! (Note to clients – this is not a plea for baked goods. Actually, maybe it is.) I loved seeing little Izzy now that she’s getting

Giving is Awesome Winner!

I got a bit held up by the holidays this year, so I wasn’t able to devote the time I needed to choose the winner until now. So many of this year’s entries were about family. Brothers and sisters nominating their very deserving siblings for all of their efforts. The winner however was

Portable North Pole – personalized videos from santa

I got this lovely note from Alex from Sympatico.ca a couple of weeks ago: Hello Brandy. Thanks for writing about Portable North Pole last December. We’re excited to be back again this year, in partnership with Sympatico and benefitting Unicef Canada. You’ll see a few upgrades that I

Boys – calgary child photography

Having two girls, the only experience I have with boys is during sessions. I have to say that I am constantly surprised at just how much MORE energy boys have than girls. These two were no exception, we had such a great time running around Sandy Beach (which isn’t at all sandy, wonder why

You Like Me, You Really Like Me! – calgary maternity photographer

This is my third session with Shelley THIS YEAR. And we still have one more to go as soon as she pops that baby out. She’s due next week so everyone send her easy labor vibes. I love how my clients end up becoming friends. Shelley is even more addicted to Twitter than I am, so we often chat

Emergency casting call! – calgary newborn photographer

Unfortunately we had to cancel the newborn video shoot this weekend because of the terrible snow. (I couldn’t get my vehicle out of my cul-de-sac) and the baby model we were using is already two weeks old, which is older than I need for the video. I know, it’s terrible to discrimate for

Giving is Awesome – 2008

A wonderful client of mine nominated her friend Tanya for last year’s Giving is Awesome giveaway. Her letter to me was so heartfelt and full of love that it made me really want to meet Tanya and her children. With such busy schedules for everyone, it didn’t get to happen until last

Giving is Awesome!

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who

Oh, Those Eyelashes! – calgary newborn photographer

I first met Farah when I was at Melonheads in Beacon Hill getting the girls’ hair cut. She and her husband own the Calgary location of this amazing children’s hair salon. We got to chatting and it was with great pleasure that I was invited to their home to photograph their sweet little

Eye Smiles – calgary children’s photographer

If you watch America’s Top Model, you will always hear Tyra talking about “smiling with your eyes”. It’s an important skill for a model to have and these kids have mad “smizing” skillz! LOL I loved meeting this loving brother/sister duo. They were SO sweet to

iPhone users – the news you’ve been waiting for! – calgary child photographer

I hinted about something cool for iPhone users a few weeks ago, and I am SO excited to say that I can finally tell you all about it! Fresh Sugar has a brand spankin’ new iPhone app in the iTunes store! It’s absolutely free, and it’s just another way to stay up with everything

Snowy Fall – calgary family photographer

I met with this wonderful family back in early October, when there was more snow on the ground in Calgary than there is now in November! They were all great troopers, fully embracing the chilly morning at the park. It was a tougher fall season here this year with the early snowfall, but it made for

calgary newborn photographer

Oh my goodness – calgary newborn photography

I am just so in love with this family! They make super, duper adorable kids. You first saw big brother here at the maternity session. Then I got to meet little bro a couple of months later at the newborn session. Mom and Dad are super sweet and very hands on parents, which I love, and it really

Casting call – calgary maternity, newborn and child photography

***NOTE: The response so far has been wonderful, and I now have plenty of choices for older kids. Still looking for a pregnant mama and a newborn. Thanks!*** As I’ve mentioned before, I will be starting photography mentoring in January 2010 at twophotogs.com. Part of the mentoring will

A Love Story – calgary newborn photography

I absolutely loved meeting this couple and their little man. I loved hearing about how they met, (he was working at the SPCA, she was coming in to adopt a cat). I loved seeing them both with their new baby boy. I loved the cozy feeling of family that I got while visiting – it was Thanksgiving

Make it Work – calgary newborn photographer

Moms of two kids are busy people. I especially appreciate them taking the time out from their busy schedules to book sessions with me. This family is going through some big changes, a new baby and a big boy in a new preschool makes life tough sometimes, but this family is handling it all with grace

Fall . . . was here! – calgary child photography

I love seeing my clients again and again! The last time I saw Tyson, he was just 3 months old! Now here he is again, a big boy at 3 years old! We had a great morning at the park, enjoying the one day of fall weather Calgary had, lol! This family had tons of style to spare, I love Tyson’s hair

Some Fresh Sugar stuff – calgary child and family photographer

Our deadlines for holiday orders this year is November 15th and November 29th. The 15th is for canvases, albums, cards and large prints. The 29th is for smaller print orders. Which means that these dates are coming up fast. There are only 2 sessions** left to get in before the final deadline, so if

The cutest little girl – calgary children’s photographer

Back before there was snow everywhere, and we could still wear shorts in September, I had a fun afternoon session with this little cutie and her mom. We met at a park near downtown Calgary, and had fun throwing rocks in the river, swinging, and playing model. I’m not exactly sure what my

Catch me on Breakfast Television! – calgary child photographer

I had the super fun experience of hanging out with Mike Yawney the “Gadget Guy” yesterday. He interviewed me for a bit about Fresh Sugar, and filmed me taking some photos of one of my favorite babies. Then I got to try out a super cool new digi cam from Samsung, that had touch screen

Gorgeous family – calgary bear photographer

I had the pleasure of spending a gorgeous Sunday morning with this lovely family. We walked around Kensington here in Calgary, and just had a fun time laughing, posing and putting their baby on the ground in several different spots, lol! It’s such a fun part of my job to be able to connect

Fall is here and that means BUSY – calgary family photographer

Whew! It’s been a whirlwind few weeks, and it’s only getting started! Fall is here and it’s the time when most families in Calgary think about portraits. I’ve been neglecting the blog a bit lately just because I have been SO busy, I’ve just been trying to catch up!

Happiest Baby on the Block – calgary newborn baby photography

This little man was so awesomely sleepy, it was a dream come true. He was completely content to let me move him all around, pick him up, put him down. Babies are pretty sleepy when I do newborn sessions as I try to always do them within the first two weeks of life. But most will wake up at some

Love is all around us – calgary family photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting this lovely family a couple of weekends ago. It was a hot, bright sunny day, and their home was absolutely stunning. The family of three was gorgeous, and everyone was dressed perfectly. But what I really noticed, and what really struck me – was not how beautiful

My favorite kind of session – calgary maternity and family photography

I had a devil of a time making myself limit the images to share on the blog. This family was so fun, so loving, so awesome that I can’t stop editing! It was one of my favorite types of sessions – summer evening! I think I’m in love with this little man, I want to marry him off to

The little session that could – calgary child photography

3rd time’s a charm for this session, as we had to keep rescheduling it due to Calgary’s less than stellar weather this summer. The night we did settle on finally though was gorgeous, I am so glad we waited! I had a great night of checking out a great new park by the river, and walking

Fall is filling up fast! – calgary family photographer

Fresh Sugar is almost completely booked on weekends until October. There is actually only ONE spot left, the afternoon of September 13th. The next available weekend date is October 11th. If you want a family or child session (I can always fit in newborns) this year in time for the holidays, I

Happy – calgary family photography

I had such a wonderful time with this sweet family a few weeks ago. They were kind enough to indulge my new video obsession, so I could make another “fusion” slideshow – that incorporates both video and stills from a session. I’ve had such a great response to this,

Gorgeous – calgary maternity photography

It was so great to meet Jen, we were both really excited about her maternity session. She had a great selection of outfits, and I had a fab new backdrop I was dying to use. She was the perfect guinea pig, because she is absolutely gorgeous! Her son is such a cutie and was full of energy! I love,

Something a little different – calgary family photography

I’ve been really excited about a new project I’m undertaking with Fresh Sugar. I want to make the Fresh Sugar experience even more unique, more personal. For the next little while, I’m doing a trial run with select families – and their sessions will have a slideshow that

Calgary Cutie – newborn baby photography

I just wanted to quickly put up a couple of this adorable little man. I’m trying to keep the blog going at a steady pace, I’ve got so many sessions and images to share, I don’t want to fall any more behind! I was just in awe of this newborn’s full head of gorgeous hair, and

Her Name Means Beautiful – calgary child photography

I was so pleased that I was finally able to photograph this session! Miranda contacted me back in October for a session, and it seemed like fate was conspiring to keep us apart, lol. One thing after another delayed the session, but finally on a beautiful June day, we got to meet! Her little cutie

Spoonful of Sugar Mini Sessions are BACK! – calgary family photographer
