Baby Andrew
And here is the latest in our family. I hear Andrew has been keeping his parents up all night, and might have some cow milk intolerance. That's either becoming more common or the doctors are better at detecting it.. I feel for you cousin, it's hard to function without proper rest.I always try to get this shot, but it's not an easy one on the parents. I think the baby feels unbalanced in our hands that way, and it's complicated to pose them just so. I think Matt managed pretty well.I recentl [...]
Laura
These are pictures of my cousin Laura, pregnant with her fourth boy!!!And soon, I'll post pictures of her new born, Andrew. He looks just like his 3 brothers, as Laura put it when she first saw him, she delivered the same baby 4 times.Since the age of 7, my parents sent me every other year to the US during summer break to my uncle and aunt's to learn english. I owe it mostly to Laura to be now bilingual, we share many childhood memories and are as close as sisters. I am for ever grateful to h [...]
Bonnie & Jacob's "E" session
Just wanted to share a few images from a recent engagement session. Bonnie and Jacob requested to take some of the pictures at the "goofy golf", and others at the bluffs. I had never been to either place, and I was a little dubious about our first location, but I think the result is fun. I felt I had a little room for spunk and originality and had a great time editing these. The bluffs was a little more of a traditional approach. I think they make a lovely couple and I'm looking forward to [...]
Stephanie
Again, I might be posting many pictures, but there was so much to choose from. And Stephanie is so beautiful, it makes the choice very difficult. We had a good time scouting downtown for our "urban session", it was mighty cold that day, and she was a trouper. I hope to get more highschool teens to photograph, they're always a lot of fun, come up with the coolest clothes, and are usually comfortable in front of a camera, it all makes for beautiful pictures. I was going to say: that the teen y [...]
Colton
Meet Colton, a beautiful baby. As if having a new born wasn't enough excitement in their life, his parents had to move across the country shortly after his birth, all that right around Christmas! I would have lost my mind, but I'm sure they're doing great.We tried fitting him in the tin box, but he was already out growing it.I love this feet picture, in his dad's hand.So cute!
An other Noah!
This Noah came with his parents, and his big sister, Sydney. I just had to post one of her pictures too. Her baby brother was so sweet and posed like a charm. I love baby time, and like I've said before these infant session awake in me a maternal rush.We might be getting a puppy pretty soon, it's not the same, I know, but it might just do the trick!Wishing you the best,Look at this cute little dimple he has!
Noah
OK, maybe this is too many pictures, I hope not. He was just so sweet, I couldn't resist. Noah came to my home with his parents and grand parents for his "infant" session at just 2 weeks. We tried to get the shot where he could fit in his parents palms ( which, even though he was a big baby, would have worked since his father has such big hands), however, Noah wouldn't hear of it. Although he passed his 2 weeks visit with flying colors, his perceptive mother insisted on an other exam, and hi [...]
Christmas cards
3 more examples of Christmas cards,I've been photographing Walton since he's 8 days old, he is just precious and I love his parents.Here is Walton's whole family, on his mother's side. I was afraid that 5 dogs would be a bit of a challenge, but not so, they are quite experienced in the art of posing as they perform every year for the family picture. It was a breeze, and a lot of fun to be around the whole clan.It would be hard not to take a good picture of these beautiful children, I know them [...]
Catching up
I thought I would share some of the cards I put together this past Christmas.
This first group is of an amazing family, who just recently adopted their fourth child. As the card says, Yana joined her new home just a few months shy of turning 3. She's an adorable little girl, now loved by wonderful parents and silblings. Wishing you the best for this new year and on this latest parenting adventure.
Just wonderful kids here, our families have been friends for generations, and I [...]
Bonne Annee 2008
Back in business, not that I ever stopped, it was quite crazy around Christmas time. Then it was enjoying the holidays with the children, and finally thankful for school to start to get some things done!I'm once again a student at PJC, in graphic design, I believe that will come in handy when designing wedding album. I also plan to offer soon a new approach to photographing children at home, make it more a day in your life, carrying on as usual, while I document all those details that will be [...]
Sweet Family
This was such a nice family. Max, the youngest only knows how to smile, while his brother Spencer was a little more reserved but such a handsome boy.I love the picture of the children playing in the back, with the focus on the parents. We had to watch little Max carefully, he's in that stage of discovery through the mouth, and he was trying it all!
Family pictures
What a beautiful family, and wonderful people. This last spring they brought in a new member to their home, adorable Saddie, from Russia. The whole process of adoption is so much harder than a pregnancy, I'm in awe of my friends who go through that painful and emotional journey. What a reward it must be to return home with the new little loved one!Saddie's big brothers are just crazy about her, and I believe she owes her lovely name to them. She is thriving in her new home, finally with her [...]
