in love with new designs

I am really in love with my new 20x20 designs. So simple yet say so much.

Let me know what you think!!!

Have a look...

Funky Family of 3

I am so lucky to have photographed this little girl four times in her first 2 years. She just gets sweeter every shoot -- and now she's even getting funky! Loved the location, loved their clothes, loved the results...

Out on the Sunshine Coast

My family went out to Gibsons, BC in October for a holiday and to visit some great friends I've known since I lived in Japan many, many years ago. It was so wonderful catching up with them, and one of the highlights was being able to capture some images of their beautiful family.

James and Suzanne, thank you for the honour of photographing your gorgeous family. I just adored each unique personality of H, L, & T and it was great to spend so much time with all of you! Can't wait to plan the photo shoot week out there in the spring!!!

And more babies..

This precious little one was so gorgeous... both awake and sleeping!

Babies, babies, babies..

A baby brother!! I had such fun photographing this family when there were only two sisters, but now there's this handsome guy added to the mix! Look at how content he is with his older sisters...

A few posts back, I showed a sneak peak for Nyah. Well, here she is with dad -- an image I just love. You have to love dads & their daughters

And mom is just so stunning, I have to include one with her as well!

More Twins!

Another set of twins! I have had the pleasure of visiting this family twice ... once when the little ones were just two weeks old and then I just went again today to get photos of them with their grandparents who arrived from New Zealand. With kiwi in their background, you know we had to use the lamb's wool blanket in a few shots!

Christmas Mini Sessions!

I am excited to announce the limited availability of Christmas Mini Sessions! This is a great option for those who are wanting to book a session for the purpose of getting a beautiful custom Christmas card and children's portraits to gift for the holidays.

8 months pregnant and still biking!

This post is of a super good friend ... I am so lucky to have met Bettina. About a year and a half ago, we were at the big park near our house and Hailey started playing with the cutest little blonde boy. Gosh, he was such a cutie. We started talking to their parents and found out they had just moved from Denmark to Calgary only a couple days prior. And they live right around the corner from us! This meeting in the big park, thanks to Hailey choosing her buddies so wisely, has led to a wonderful friendship!

As soon as we had Reuben, they announced they were pregnant with a little brother or sister for their son. We can't wait to meet him and her soon -- hopefully this week!

I was having fun with some textures and just love how this turned out... doesn't she look super?

And I had to post one of Bettina 8 months pregnant and on her bike! Just so ... so Danish!!!!

Sneak Peak

A&N,
Here are a couple images for you to see before your gallery is up!

Nyah (9 days)

Part of the fun of shooting at homes of clients is incorporating their style and decor into the images. We used baskets from Africa, Mom's beautiful scarf and the living room's piano. Thank you K&C -- can't wait to show you all the others.

Family of Four

It took us a couple tries to nail down this shoot, but it was well worth the wait. The sun was so, so bright this day with no cloud cover at all, but we managed to find the right balance of sun and shade. to come up with some very fun images!
