This is it!  The super fun kids with their beautiful mom who came all the way out from Ontario to visit family!  This was my facebook status, where i said we did it all!  Blew bubbles, waded in the water, played at the playground and finished the night off with ice cream!

You have beautiful kids, full of character and wonder!  But you already know that… just remember that you, too, are beautiful inside and out.  It was great to finally meet you!  I look forward to keeping in touch and watching you progress with your photography!  Thank you for asking me to capture these moments for you!!

In so many ways.  Their love being the very main way, it is just so obvious, it radiates.

The bride and her girls got ready at the Ramada hotel in Lac La Biche, which was also perfect.  Lots of room, lots of light and other fun things, like a perfect bed to jump on in a wedding dress , beautiful leather furniture and a fireplace!  Then, arriving in the church in the 3 muscle cars!

Ah, the ceremony.  So much emotion, so much meaning.  The priest held a beautiful mass for this couple, adding in some humor.

Everything was just perfect.  This wedding story will live on…

A beautiful 2010 grad!  A quick session that was nothing short of fun at the old and unused ball diamonds here in town!

Truly happy.  You can feel the wholeness in this family.  You know, when a family has gone through a lot together, which families do, but when they truly learn and grow together because of it, it just feels whole.  I love this family, way back in February we did a session together, now it was time to do the family session.  I soooo can’t wait to see these hanging on her walls!

world!  I’m here!  I’d like you to meet a beautiful new addition to this family!

You remember this beautiful, fun couple!?  Well, the wedding came before we knew it and due to unforeseen circumstances they had to move their wedding date up a couple of weeks, so we headed out on what was their original wedding date all dressed up to take their wedding photos. (I wasn’t able to make the date for their wedding).  The weather was incredible and the couple was incredible… well, just look for yourselves!

Most recent wedding!  Gorgeous couple, awesome bridal party!  Great times!  Enjoy.

After much anticipation, excitement and the wondering, this bright eyed, strong, big, beautiful girl made her way into her parents arms!  We had to divide this session into two parts due to both their schedules and mine!  So when baby was 4 days old, we photographed her with her daddy and then their first official family photo, then 4 days later we concentrated just on her and some of her with mommy!  Let me tell you at 4 days old, i have never seen a more strong alert baby! 

I just love the snuggles i get… actually, i think that’s why these sessions seem to last kinda long.  Besides the feeding, burping, pooping, peeing and comforting, I find myself caught up in the cuddles!

oh and p.s. this is when mommy and daddy were patiently waiting for her arrival!

Enjoy!

Mothers and daughters to be exact!  What a session this was!  If you know these girls you know fun, and we had plenty of it here!  My tummy was sore the next day, you know that really good kind of sore.  The kind with the fun memories!  As much as i love my sessions for the photography, it’s just an added bonus when the memories made are a little personal for me!!  Thanks so much girls for everything, the laughs, the support and everything in between!  Enjoy!

p.s. you might recognize the twin girls in the last 2 photos from the blog header!  Almost exactly a year later!

It’s time.  I imagine just as i type this, this baby is probably here.  As the due date was a few days back and mom was in hospital before that date, I’m sure this family now has one more!  As i pray all is well, I am excited for the phone call!  Congratulations! xoxo
