Shining Star

This is my daughter. She makes me smile every day, always doing things to make me laugh or catch my attention. She recently started to actually want me to take pictures of her. After all, when your Mom takes pictures of every little thing, one kind of gets tired of the cameras.
Yikes. I kind of feel like the paparazzi.
Luckily, they all still love me and let me snap away and I hope one day they will appreciate all the moments I have captured. <3 p="">

Another Adorable Mini Session

This next session was another great one! The little man had nothing but smiles and was an excellent poser! His big sister was great and loved playing with her brother and she's just as beautiful as her mother!

Spring Mini Sessions Part 1

Well the mini sessions were a great success and I had loads of fun taking pictures for all these great families! So here's the very first shoot of the day, a sneak peek a very sweet and very energetic little lady! Enjoy!!

Sunday Morning Sessions

I can't think of a better way to spend a quiet Sunday morning than photographing my children. They don't always enjoy a good photo shoot like their mother, but they sure are photogenic!
This morning, I got to test out some new back drops I bought about a week ago, play around with my kids and got some great photos out of the deal! Now to get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather while we still have it! Next week is my Casting Call, which I am holding outside so cross your fingers we have as great weather as there is this morning! I'm so excited and can't wait to share those pictures as well! Stay tuned!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Okay, I will admit it, I have an addiction.
I am in love with Pinterest!
Chances are, you probably do too. It's okay, I am here for you. I won't judge ;)
The reason I bring up Pinterest is because not only does it inspire me to create and make all sorts of different home decor, baking, cooking and clothing it is also a great place I like to find inspiration for photo shoots and tutorials on how I can make my photogaphy even better. I have found it such a great tool for me.
I am also bringing up this post as I wanted to share my own favorite photos on Pinterest and so I thought it would also be fun to post a few of my favorite photos that I have taken from when I was first starting out until now. Enjoy!

 I took pictures of my oldest son in the same bucket, same out fit. Love it!

  Such a handsome little man with such wonder in his eyes. He's a curious, busy boy and I love him so much!

This boy is going to be trouble, just look at those big blue eyes. That's about the only thing my boys have got from me. My eyes, other than that, they are miniature versions of my husband.

 

 My Christmas Photo Challenge, this one was "Memories". My idea was using clothespins to attach pictures of my past Christmas memories onto a ribbon. I had so much fun with this photo challenge, I definitely recommend it!

So the whole Pinterest inspiration thing?  Yeah, that's where I got this idea from. Take a picture of your daughter in your wedding dress! Best shoot ever! We had so much fun and my daughter who usually has to be persuaded to have pictures taken just soaked this up. 

 My daughter and her Grandma. We went on a road trip to Kananaskis and toured around pulling over and taking photos and having picnics. My favorite way to spend a summer day!

 I got to spend a day with a good friend and take her maternity pictures for her first child.


I loved the way this turned out!

 My oldest son's first photo shoot with Mommy. I had finally got up enough energy to take pictures of my 2 month old little man with a few cute backdrops. I couldn't have asked for a better smile than that!

 Who doesn't love red barn pictures? Lucky me, I got to take pictures of the barn and the lovely family who lives on the farm before they tore this beautiful red barn down. It was a beautiful day but as usual it was a typical windy southern Alberta day!

 I love bridges, especially train bridges! This one is located in Drumheller. We went for a walk one hot June day, had a heck of a time lugging the stroller through the train tracks but with the help of my Dad we made it and I got to take some shots of the train bridge. Well worth it! Hope my Dad ge

My all time favorite! A little girl running around in a princess dress and purple rubber boots! So I grabbed a chair and parked it behind our shed and did all sorts of goofy things to make her laugh.

Dress Up Fun

So I'm a wee bit addicted to pinterest. It inspires me to be creative and think outside the box.  I have seen one pin in particular that really got me excited. It was an idea to take pictures of your daughter in your wedding dress to save for her special day. I love this idea, what a better way to reuse your wedding dress.
Now, normally it's like pulling teeth to get my daughter to stop and pose for me. Give her a dress bigger than her and she's all over it. Really lots of fun! Thinking of offering a special on it down the road, thought anyone?

 

One Sweet Day

Couldn't ask for a better day to take pictures for the wonderful Davidson family. Some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They also have some of the cutest kids you'll ever meet! I had a great time (as always) hanging out and taking pictures and I am happy that I have so many pictures of Owen with a smile on his face. He sure tried hard to keep it from me! Hope you love your pictures just as much as I do! xo
