Lynn, Shawn & baby

Lynn is a close friend that I've known since we were four years old. We've had our paths cross pretty randomly, too, since then - we both ended up living in Edmonton (of all places!) at the same time.

We had fun during this session, especially when we got outside. Their dog Celtie was a real ham and I think she thought she was the star of the show!  I think she might get a bit of a surprise when the "new" baby of the household arrives home!

Charlenne, Mike & baby

Charlenne is a dear friend whom I've known since Junior Kindergarten. We had a great visit when we got together for this maternity session and I even got to have a sleepover... just like old times!

I would have loved to get this posted before the little one made her big debut, but alas, I didn't. Little Olivia was born on March 30th. I can't wait to meet her!  Charlenne and Mike are going to be awesome parents.

I'm back!

Hello again! It's been so long since I've done a post. Not that I'm making excuses, but I've been busy... good busy! We had a wonderful trip to Alberta in early March and since getting back I've had five wonderful photo sessions - two great friends with baby bumps, two adorable baby girls, and one fabulous wedding. I'm planning on blogging about all of them, but for now here is a sneak peek of what's to come in the next few weeks.

Joesph & Gerome

Ok, so I haven't had any clients lately.... anyone interested in getting some photos done? Please?

Meanwhile, I'm still taking plenty of photos of my number one favourite model - Mr. Joseph J. Stinker.  Every month since he was born, I do a mini photo shoot with him and his best buddy, Gerome the Giraffe. Now that Joseph is going on 19 months, I thought it might be nice to share some of the pictures so you can see how he's grown.  He's quite the little man now. He sure has come a long way from a lump in my arms to a walking, talking, peeing-on-the-potty toddler.

Again, these aren't award winning works of art, just some snap shots to fill the gap until my next real photo session. Any takers?

Christmas

As we took down our Christmas tree today and packed away all the decorations for another year, I was thinking that it might be nice to share a few pictures of our Christmas adventures in the Valley. Joseph seemed to really enjoy all the excitement this year. He didn't really understand what was going on all the time, but he loved all the parties and presents! Now, these aren't exactly award-winning photos, just a few snapshots. I hope you like them anyway!

By the way, no, we didn't get Joseph a doll for Christmas (not that there's anything wrong with that)... it belongs to his little cousin, Rebecca.

Dayvah

I was very fortunate last week to be able to spend a couple of hours with darling Dayvah. You might remember her parents, Kylah & Zack, from earlier this month.  As parents, they're naturals! You'd think they'd been looking after this baby for two months, not two weeks!  I've said this before, but I just love new parents. They are so happy, so proud... just beaming with excitement.

Logan Peter

Remember MaryLou and Tom? Well, they had their baby! And what a cutie he is! I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of weeks ago and capturing some lovely images of the little darling.  I couldn't get over how he looked so much older than just 12 days! Congratulations Tom & MaryLou!
