More Rolls Than A Bakery!
This little cutie had the most roly-poly little body. She was a complete sweetheart, and very, very serious.I just wanted to pick her up and cuddle her the entire session! We were also able to go outside yesterday for this session – which was surprising to say the least! Thanks very much to
Back From Kelowna
Whew! We made it back! We had a great time in Kelowna (or Westbank, more accurately) but I think I need a vacation from my vacation! Good thing I have a girl’s trip to Vegas next month, lol! I thought I’d share a few highlights from our trip before getting back to work. Tomorrow
Tag, I’m It!
The fabby fab Central Alberta photographer Ashley Skjaveland tagged me in a game of blog tag. It’s kind of fun! The Rules. Post the rules before you give the facts. Post eight random facts about yourself. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag eight people and list their names. Leave
Rock On!
Haha! This little cutie is gonna be a rockstar, I just know it. I had the pleasure of meeting this very fun and easy-going family last weekend. As what happens sometimes, the weather just didn’t want to cooperate with us. Rainy and dreary outside, their kitchen nook had great light. So out
The Look of Love
I’m a bloggin’ fiend these days!It’s because I’m proofing so many session in so little time, just trying to get everyone their galleries out as soon as possible.This little guy was feeling a bit under the weather at our session, but was still a trooper, giving me lots of
Sleepy
I’ve been really lucky lately, and been getting some super sleepy newborns. It helps when the heat is cranked up in the house, (to the point where we’re sweating), and the baby is less that two weeks old. When they get a little older than that, they are more aware of their surroundings
Best. Hair. Ever.
Can you believe all the hair this little man from today has?I’m uploading the photos onto the computer and had to grab this one to share with everyone.It cracks me up – his hair is longer than my 10 month old’s!Thanks for a great afternoon today guys, I had lots of fun. On a
New Music
If you keep your speakers on while cruising the site, you probably have noticed that I like to change the music up every so often.I love finding artists who give their permission to use their music, and my latest find is Ashley Gramins. She has a beautiful voice and such a funky style. You can

My Apple’s Jacked.
So two weeks after getting it back, my computer got fried again. It’s back at the “authorized service technician”, who is actually super nice – even if I never want to see him again. Now, if I were you, I would probably tell me to get a new computer, obviously my old hunk

New Baby Love and a Teaser
This little man has been long, long awaited. It’s a bit different to take the photos when you are good friends with the Mom and Dad, and you are just so darn excited that he’s here! I kept tearing up at this session because not only is he a little angel, but he’s got two loving
Big Mac Is Gone!
I had a complete hard drive crash this week, and my computer, which is affectionately named Big Mac, is in for service. They’ve managed to recover everything, but I had just backed up everything two days before, so all sessions are safe and sound. Unfortunately though, I am not able to work
Perfect.

The Moment
As my clients can tell you, I rarely pose anyone, but let everyone interact with each other and I try to capture what’s going on.Of course, sometimes I will brush some strands of hair away, or suggest certain things to do with arms, but I don’t go crazy with posed shots. Which is how I
Daisy!
This 9-month old guy said his first word in a field of clover at Sunday’s session. As he was looking at stalk of clover – he said “daisy”! Ok, maybe not really, but it sure sounded like it. I know I talk an awful lot about fun families, but I am just so lucky! My clients
Blitzkreig Bop and Other Thoughts
So I was telling the mom of this little cutie this weekend about how my 4 year old had her first kiss a few days ago.4 years old! I, showing all the decorum I still possess today, at least waited until I was 5. Well now today, my little woman/child is rocking around the house singing “Hey,
The big day
The big moment is almost upon us. Sephora opens its doors in Calgary, first at Market Mall, then at Chinook Centre.July 6th is the very big day. Only 18 more sleeps!If you head down there, keep your eyes peeled for me, I’ll be hanging out at the Philosophy section sniffing everything.🙂

I’ve had a few people email me wondering if that’s my little girl Emma on Calgary’s Child again this month.It sure is!She was just over 2 when that photo was taken, and now she’s a very . . . shall we say . . . spirited 4 years old.Calgary’s Child is having the
Gorgeous!
Wow, what a stunning mom she is!Soon to be a mom of two, this supermom works from home because her son’s allergies are so severe.Gorgeous on the inside and out.
Shiny, Happy, People
This family was was such a fun session. Mom and Dad were lots of fun, and it was clear just how much they enjoyed their children. Instead of a photo shoot, it felt more like I was invited into their lives for a couple of hours. Look at this little guy, he obviously was having a great time!
So comfortable!
These clients were so darn comfortable in front of the camera. It made for a really easy, relaxed session. Well, when their cat wasn’t growling at me, haha!

It doesn’t get any cuter than this.
My own children may be fair-haired, and I may be brunette, but I think red-heads are the cutest! How appropriate that this shoot was on St. Patrick’s Day! Doesn’t she look like the most perfect little Irish lady?
5 months old
This little guy is the same age as my daughter. His mom looks a lot better than I do though, LOL! He was a cutie, and VERY happy! I love this age.
Happy Feet
Sweet little baby toes!As some of you have heard, I switched computer systems this past week.I’m all about Apple now! You know what they say – Once you go Mac, you never go back! LOL!I’ve fallen slightly behind with session galleries, but I’m working practically around the
They’re not all happy
So most of the time, newborns are sleepy little angels that I can put on a bookshelf and snap away.Sometimes though, they wake up. And stay up.This little guy was such a sweetie, he gave me the BEST eye contact I have ever seen from a newborn. He was so alert. Which means, awake, and not always
