{tea anyone?}

I have been dying to set up a tea party for a shoot and am so happy I got to do it for one of my favorite neighbours. This is "J" and she is one of my girls bestest friends. From the permagrin she had, she was pretty pumped to get to have a tea party with her baby. She is the girliest of girls so this was so HER.

Despite the crazy mosquitoes we got some GREAT pictures and I hope we were quick enough for you "D"!

We spend lots of time hanging out with the "B" family and I was super excited to take family pictures for them. Thanks guys!

I don't normally post my favorites from shoots because I like to save those for when they get to see their gallery but MY favorites are not always THEIR favorites so this time, here are my favs from this shoot!!

{sneak peek}

We're off on a mini vacation this week but will be back to a crazy busy August. I only have one opening left in the month and am starting to book for September. If you're thinking of booking an appointment call me soon! Fall will book up fast!

I hung out with this couple who are expecting their first baby. We went to the Cathedral which made for some fun pics! I love outdoor location shoots for maternity pictures. "C & T" were super easy going and I can't wait to meet their new baby!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Thanks for looking!

{sneak peek baby!}

This gallery will be ready right away but I wanted to share a few of my favorites!

Meet baby "C"! His Mommy and Daddy are a few posts down. Remember the cherry tree and barn? Here is their new baby boy.

This little guy wanted nothing to do with getting naked!! He had no trouble going to sleep but as soon as he was naked, now matter how hot it was, (and it was HOT!!) he woke up! Oh well, we got some AMAZING pictures!

And my new favorite image!!!

ETA: I forgot to mention this gorgeous wrap was made for me by my friend Lee-Ann from Paper Raisins. (website on the right) I also got some cute newborn and baby hats. Hopefully I'll have some cuties posted soon wearing them!!

Thanks for looking!

I had a great time this morning with the "C" family. They are here visiting from Denmark and wanted to have family photos taken. So mom "E" looked up Winnipeg photographers and found me! (Thanks Google!!)

I was a little nervous starting this shoot because "E" mentioned that "A" didn't speak very much English but after being here a week she has picked it up like crazy. It wasn't an issue at all!!

"A" loved getting here photos taken. She was right into it! She reminded me so much of my oldest, who are the same age and even have the same name!

Thanks so much "C" family! I loved hanging out with you this morning and I'll be in touch when your gallery is up!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Thanks for looking!

{news n' stuff}

So I mentioned a few posts back I would be updating my website with new pics and info. Well I'm a little behind on that,lol! But here are a few updates. As of July 1, I have discontinued my collections. The feedback I've received on them was that they weren't exactly what people wanted. Anyone who had ordered them wanted to change them up. So they are no more!

Instead, if you order $600.00 or more in prints or products you will receive an album of all session images(4x6) for free.

I have had a lot of storyboard orders lately and I just realized I didn't have this written anywhere.

A storyboard starts with a consultation about what the client is looking for. We talk about what kind of look, size and mounting options for the design. The design fee is $25.00 per storyboard and includes 2 designs and 2 revisions. The cost of the finished product is dependant on size and material of the mount. I will have a price list on the website in the next week.

That's it for now for business stuff but will be posting more over the next week as I hammer out the details!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoot I took my girls on last week. This session was. not. fun. Why are my own children so difficult to photograph???? You'd never know it from the results though. There are so many great ones and I will have a hard time picking "the one". I desperately want a canvas of all three of them. Maybe you can help me decide??

Please leave me a comment telling me your favorite one!

This first one is not canvas worthy but I LOVE their expressions!

#0#1#2#3#4#5

#6This last one looks great in color too.

How will I ever decide?????

Thanks for looking!

We have ALOT of girls on our street, they probably out number the boys 2 to 1, or even 3 to 1!! That's not a huge problem now but in 10 years from now, there may be alot of fighting over these boys,LOL!!!

Now there is one more girl to add to that number! Baby "J" was born just over a week ago and I was so happy to get to photograph her for the first time!! She was so good during our session, awake for a bit, sleeping for most and only peeing on me once!!

There were so many great images I had a hard time picking a few, so I didn't!! Here's alot!

Meet baby "J" and her new big sister "M".Couldn't decide whether I liked color or b&w better...what do you think??Thanks for looking!
