How fun it was to photograph the Brown family!  It was extra special as this photoshoot was given as a gift from the girls to their dad for his birthday!  What a great idea!

I knew when I first saw everyone in purple that this was going to be a great session!  This family did an awesome job and worked hard at coordinating clothing…which just helps to make their images look even better. Take a great looking family…..dress them in a fabulous color….and tada!  (we will forget about all of the bugs that were out that night!)

The hardest thing about this shoot was picking out my favorite images to share on here!  There were so many!  Here are just a few of them….

Happy Birthday!

and we can’t forget about this little cutie!….

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…

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…..

What is better than hanging out with 26 preschool kids? 

Taking pictures of them, of course!

Now I am not a school photographer, but I did have the honor of spending the day with Sunny Smiles Preschool here in Fort McMurray and doing their school pictures for them.  I loved working with each of these little ones, photographing them and just getting to spend time with them!  Next time I am going to have to leave the camera behind and just hang out at the playground : ) 

They all did an amazing job and were so much fun to be with!  One of my favorite things from that day were all of their personalities!  How beautifully different and unique each of them were! I found myself wondering at different times what they might be when they “grow up”.

Here are just a few photographs from that fun day!

Desiring never to officially grow up,

Congratulations to the preschool graduating class of 2010!  I hope that you have a great summer and a fun year in Kindergarten!

 

Oh this family makes me smile!   They are most definitely one of my favorite Fort McMurray families and I love their joy for life and family.

When I heard about their story – of how they have gone through the process of adopting these two children – the world “Celebrate” kept coming to mind…and continues to when I think of them.  How much this family has to celebrate!  This couple has now been blessed with children, whom they love and adore and are able to have the family that they have desired – and these two beautiful children now have  the parents, family and security that they so desperately desired.  It’s a win-win situation! 

When we were designing their session and talking about things – I wanted to try and capture that essence of celebration….and so out came the balloons for some of their shots!  Seriously – what child (not to mention adult) does not like balloons :  )  

Here are just a few of my favorites…..and yes, I am slightly biased to this little cutie that I fell in love with that day.

Wishing your family nothing but the best – especially as you move east.  Know that you will be missed here - but also know that you are going to be so deeply celebrated and cherished there.
