This little beauty is Kate….doesn’t she look like a perfect doll?  She was absolutely wonderful to photograph and has the most amazing blue eyes! 

I was extra excited about this shoot as she was (and still is) the first little one to wear one of the adorable tutus that I purchased. They are beautiful and so fun to shoot with!

One of my favorite things about this session was Kate’s mom & dad. I loved watching them together as they are so in love and cute together!  I think that one of the greatest gifts that parents can give their children is parents who love them and who love each other.  How blessed Kate is!

Creating images that have extra meaning and importance to the individual or family is something that I love to do when there is an opportunity.  During the Design Session, Kate’s parents showed me a garden that was planted by Kate’s grandma, the day that she was born.  This was something that needed to be captured and when they showed me this adorable bunny jacket….well……I love how it all turned out!

Close behind seeing a newborn’s parents in love is watching a dad with his new little girl.  There is something wonderful about seeing a mother and her baby and the bond that they share – but there is something extra special about a daddy and his little girl.  The love in his eyes as he looks at her….the tenderness as he holds her….love it!

As always with newborn sessions – mom & dad need a huge round of applause as they play such a big part and work so hard.  You two are amazing and I hope that you know how much this little one loves you!

Here are just a few of my favorites…

Charlene & Brad ..along with their super cute son, Caleb, are one of my newest favorite Fort McMurray families! 

Caleb has the most amazing blue eyes ever!  He loves Thomas the Train and we had a few of his trains with us the day that we did this shoot.

They were so fun to work with and I have loved getting to know them a bit.  I’m looking forward to hopefully getting to know them more in the future : )

I’m feeling rather short on words right now….so I will just post some of my favorites!

You guys are fantastic!

I had the privilege of meeting and working with Bev Boman and Cindy Scantland from Royal LePage True North Realty. 

These two wonderful women are realtors here in Fort McMurray…and they are also mother and daughter! 

We had a great time doing this shoot in Cindy’s beautiful home !  Two of the images from this session will be featured in their ad on the back cover of the new CanPages book and one will be used for an upcoming newspaper ad.

Wishing you both all the best!

Talk about a cutie!  This little guy has some serious style!  My gues is that it is because his mom has fabulous style – I love it! 

They live in an absolutely beautiful home and Ryder has 3 older brothers and a dog that he loves.

How fun it was to go and spend time with him and take pictures!  He did an awesome job (as did mom and dad!) - especially as he was working on a new tooth at the same time.

Here are a few of my favorites…..

One of my all time favorite things is family….now perhaps I am biased, as I love spending time with my grandparents, parents, siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins.  However, I think that there is something special and simply wonderful when EVERYONE gets together for a family picture.  It is such a gift when you see all of the generations together and interacting. Extended family sessions are a LOT of work for the person (or people) coordinating it with the various schedules, wardrobes and other needs….however it is so worth it in the end!  These pictures are not just keepsakes, but they are heirlooms.  Something that will be treasured for years to come.  They capture a moment in time that can not be revisited or repeated – and that is so special.

I had the wonderful privilege of spending time with the Solbak family one afternoon here in Fort McMurray.  Everyone was there… from grandma & grandpa and all the way down to the youngest of grandkids.  This group was great to work with and unfortunately our session was cut short by a spontaneous rain shower.  One of the families stayed to continue to play in the rain and I am so thankful.  There were so many other ideas that I wanted to do….however I’m glad that we were able to get the images that we did.

Here are just a few of my favorites from that day…
