A Sweet Brother & Sister

I know, I'm back again already. The blog never gets this much attention, but it's been a busy week for me getting all of my sessions proofed so everyone can get a sneak peek and get their galleries up online for holiday orders. I still have two weekday sessions left in November before the deadline. Details Here.

Check out this sweet brother - sister pair who came to visit me in the studio last week.

Mom & Dad thanks for bringing the kiddos to me - Hope the Timbits were good ;-). I'll have all of your gallery info soon.

Everyone near and far have a happy & safe Halloween, and for the Calgarians, let's keep our fingers crossed that we get the nice weather we are promised for a good night of trick or treating. Ash is going to be a cat & Ivy is going to be Snow White & I'm all set with a giant bowl of candy that I have managed to keep hidden from everyone. Now if I could only hide it from myself, but that's another post entirely. Have a great weekend!

And the best for last...Having a two year old run away from the camera isn't anything new, but it rarely ends like this.

For all the other photographers reading, this one is for you. You know the feeling of uploading images and that "YES!" you say to yourself when you see a shot not only turned out, but is even better than you expected? You know in movies when you hear that "AHHHHH"... like the hallelujah angels singing? That's this shot for me. I love the how the flare hit, the dramatic shadow, and how he is so little against the sunset. I know my ego sounds too huge for my britches, but what can I say? I love it that much and have already ordered it for the studio wall as a great big 24x30 canvas.

Now that I'm done showing off one of my new faves of all time...

Mom & Dad - thanks so much for a terrific session. It was a pleasure meeting you. I'm almost finished with all of your images and will be in touch soon with all of your gallery info.

Beautiful Alberta Fall

It's a beautiful fall for 2008 in our fair city. I have had some great sessions capturing all of it's splendor. Check out a Fish Creek shoot with this beautiful mom and her two handsome, stylish boys. The day started out pretty cloudy and dark, but we got some great lighting when session time rolled around.

I just love this one - I was working on some solo shots of one of the boys and when we finished, I turned around and saw mom & big brother sharing a moment which I thought was so cool. I told little brother to hurry over and join them and love how it turned out.

Mom - thanks for an awesome session! I'll be in touch with all of your gallery info very soon.

Shameless Bragging

Two weeks ago I got to go to Michigan and visit my 8 month old nephew that I love so darn much. He is the sweetest little man ever! Of course I had my camera in his face a bunch of the time I was there so I have to blog a bragging post and show off one cute baby boy... of course I may be a little biased but isn't that an Auntie's right?

Before I leave I want to remind everyone that holiday sessions are going fast. There is no weekend availability, and I'm down to only 4 sessions left where I can guarantee Christmas delivery. Details here. Book now before they're all gone!

**Because the window of opportunity is so short to capture a brand new baby, I do have a limited number of sessions reserved specifically for newborns during the busy holiday rush. Please contact me within the first two weeks of life to schedule even if the holiday schedule is showing no availability.

Now - check out this handsome fella...
