Oh, that hair!

I think I must have said this 50 times at our session.
Such beautiful, dark, thick hair!
I know I wasn't the first person to mention the resemblance to a certain high profile celebrity baby.

Fun new find - Cookie Magazine!

As my recent clients know, I've been busy, busy, busy this month.
I plan on posting some of my favorite photos from recent sessions in the next few days.
But today, I wanted to tell you all about a fab new magazine I found today - Cookie!
It's geared towards hip moms, with interesting articles, beautiful photos, and it's fun to read too!

Viva Las Vegas!

I'm off to the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International Convention & Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada! I hope to learn a lot, and find some cool new products to offer my clients! I'll be back on Friday, March 30th.

It doesn't get any cuter than this.

My own children may be fair-haired, and I may be brunette, but I think red-heads are the cutest! How appropriate that this shoot was on St. Patrick's Day! Doesn't she look like the most perfect little Irish lady?

Ol' Blue Eyes

Great Googly Moogly! This boy has some stunning eyes, doesn't he?

5 months old

This little guy is the same age as my daughter. His mom looks a lot better than I do though, LOL!

He was a cutie, and VERY happy! I love this age.

Happy Feet

Sweet little baby toes!
As some of you have heard, I switched computer systems this past week.
I'm all about Apple now! You know what they say - Once you go Mac, you never go back! LOL!
I've fallen slightly behind with session galleries, but I'm working practically around the clock to get back on track.
I appreciate all your patience! Thank you. :)

They're not all happy

So most of the time, newborns are sleepy little angels that I can put on a bookshelf and snap away.
Sometimes though, they wake up. And stay up.
This little guy was such a sweetie, he gave me the BEST eye contact I have ever seen from a newborn. He was so alert. Which means, awake, and not always happy about being placed on stuffed lambs, wicker baskets and the like.
My best advice to ensure a sleepy newborn is to book your newborn session for when baby is just a few days old. 4 days old seems to be the perfect age. Within the first week is best.
And speaking of booking, I'm completely booked for sessions until April 15th. (except for newborns. If you need a session, email me) So if you, or someone you know was planning on getting portraits taken this spring/summer, please book soon. I'm booking 1.5 months in advance right now, and already booking June sessions. Thanks!

Hey Mama!

My husband just told me that most babies are born in the spring, but I would beg to differ. I've been doing so many maternity and newborn sessions lately! This image is from a recent session with a really fun and adorable couple. I love it when I go to work and just get to laugh and talk and have fun.

Petal Perfect

I've been such a huge slacker with this blog lately. I've just been so busy, and I'm pretty sure most clients would be happier with their galleries online that to see an update of the blog.

I had a sweet, sweet session today with this adorable baby girl. I think I'm in love. Look at that skin!

I love newborns

I just love them. This little sweetheart was a bit older, 1 month old, but still as sweet as sugar.
Having a three year old at home makes me appreciate those little babies even more.
They don't try to run away when you take their photograph.

Crazy Cat!

This cat looks SO big here! It was such a cute, fluffy cat. Or lion. I'm not quite sure.
It let me take its photo though, so it was a nice lion.

It's ALIVE!

Or live, rather. The new and improved website is up!
I'm so excited, I love it, and I hope you all do too!
:)

Double Trouble promotion!

My Own Cover Girl!

My own proud mommy moment this month: my daughter Emma is on the cover of Calgary's Child magazine! It's an unreal feeling to walk into Toys R Us and see her face on all those magazines!

Baby Legs

Ok, these things are the cutest, coolest things for your little one.
Kind of like awesome baby legwarmers. I could be drawn to them because I am of a generation where at one time legwarmers were the height of fashion.

Check them out at Elephant Shoe, where they have tons of other funky items for children.

Lens Cap Thief

So this little man loved the camera. Loved it so much he snuck off with my lens cap. And put it . . .
Well, let's just say he put it somewhere I NEVER would have looked! :)

Still plugging away

I'm still trying to work on the new website in between client sessions.
I should get some time now that the holiday rush is dying down.
Back to babies and bellies!

Smiley Boy

This little man was all grins while I was there! He has the most gorgeous blue eyes, and looks so much like his mom. This session was a blast, I loved how open this family was. I think we took pictures in every room in their house, which was awesome!
