growing families

I've had the pleasure of knowing this couple since we were in jr. high... (yes all the way back then!) Throughout the years we've maintained contact and it's been fun watching their family grow. Now with baby number 3 here, I was asked to take a few pictures to celebrate this occasion before his arrival. This absolutely gorgeous family was a dream to shoot. The interaction between them was so loving and calm, exuding love and adoration for each other. These two were pro's in front of the camera, feeding off each other and creating connections only real love can convey. We also included their two other children and had some fun family style. Lots of laughs and fun. Pure family sweetness. 

We did the majority of the session in their master bedroom which had windows all across the one side. This amount of light helped create such a light and airy feeling that keeps the focus on them.  Truly a dream setting and I can't wait to get back there this weekend to capture some some more with their new little baby.

I will start to blog again.... I will start to blog again...

I will start to blog again

I will start to blog again

I could write that 100 times. I SHOULD write that over and over again until it becomes a normal occurrence. 

Hey guys,

it has been too long. I have been really terrible at keeping up this end of things. I'm not sure why it happened, being too busy shouldn't be an excuse, but really thats the only thing I can think of. 

I've just recently purchased a brand new MacBook Air, and now have no excuse. I can work from anywhere. So I will. I always love going through other photos blogs, seeing the photos, reading the posts, feeling the emotional connection to the story they are telling. I understand that blogs really do make a difference. So without further ado, I will be back blogging... (once I have my files transferred over to this) 

I have lots of shoots to catch up on, and lots of upcoming ones to be excited about. I will be back and will have something up (with photos) soon!

Family Maternity

Earlier this spring I was contacted by PinkBlush Maternity to do a collaboration with them. Of course I said yes after seeing their gorgeous maternity clothes. They sent me a dress to style in one of my shoots. I picked this really pretty flowey floral design that I knew would look beautiful on any expecting mama. I had Michelle be my model, and she was so incredibly beautiful in it, I would absolutely recommend @Pinkblushmaternity to any expecting woman. Truly beautiful and very affordable! 

Michelle and Daniel were expecting baby #2. Rowan, their first born, was such a cute little guy during our shoot. Did such great listening and helped create some really beautiful images. We had such a gorgeous evening with so many blossoms out. I knew the moment I saw this place, I'd love it for shoots, and have been back since! We're very lucky to have so many stunning outdoor spaces in Calgary. SO many parks that are maintained so well, no wonder we're one of the top places to live in the world! 

Here's a few more from this night
