Lathwell Twins (Okotoks Newborn Photography)

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Here are the twins that love to be fashionably early. Three months early actually, but are doing wonderfully as you can gather by these pictures. They must have known summer was going to be short and didn’t want to come just for the cold! I had such a great time photographing them. It was pretty time intensive but thank goodness Amanda Grue came along to assist me. She’s probably been dying to share some of the images, that she captured, on her facebook but she’s been patiently waiting for me to post first:) Thanks Amanda, you were a tremendous help and your monkey hats are to die for!

A big thank-you to all of Kym’s friends that pitched in for her maternity session gift certificate! I might not have had the chance to meet these darlings without that;) Your business means alot to me. Thanks Kym and Dean for letting us come over and invade your house for a few hours, I hope you were able to have lunch and a nap after we left. Your babies are so sweet! I’m sure I wasn’t the only person super excited to see them either.

Perserverance is the key! (Okotoks Photographer)

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

This session was a test of perseverance. The forecast said rain, the people said no rain, it rained on the way out to the session, then stopped raining for about a half an hour, then some pretty mean storm clouds came our way but we just got drizzled on. Meanwhile, people in Drayton got hailed on pretty bad. So we were lucky and took a break during the short stint of rain and got back to work because this family traveled from Edmonton to their cute little cabin in the wilderness. I can tell that the children absolutely adore going out there because they allowed me to spend about 2 and a half hours with them. We got many more fun ones, but I thought I’d leave those for surprise for Christmas cards etc;)

The Gorgeous Wood Family

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Okay so this post took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get up here! Holy smokes it’s like I’ve never done this before. Here is a session from the Sept 3rd weekend of Fall sessions in Drayton Valley. I just love them! I had such a hard time picking images to share because these people are so photogenic and we spent a lot of time at their awesome farm getting really cool shots. I really appreciate the whole Wood family for having me out, it was such a blast! What’s awesome is that people who booked me for fall sessions this year are getting the disc! Yes that is correct, they get all of their proofed images on cd because they bought collections. It’s very exciting for me, because all of my hard work will go into the hands of the rightful owners to be treasured forever!

Winter Family in Action

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Here are some sneak previews from the first fall session from last weekend. I was surprised that the leaves hadn’t turned more in Drayton by this time. Still made for a fun summery/fallish session. Since the house is what has been the main focus of the Winter family this year, we both thought it appropriate as a background for their family portraits this year. Thanks Jen and Chris for having me over to your beautiful new home. Karleb sure knows how to build beautiful dream homes!

“Baby Evelyn Seeping” – observation by Vaughn Hutchinson

Friday, September 10th, 2010

I got a chance to pop over to my sister in-laws place to snap a few pictures of my niece Evelyn a few days ago. I think she mostly wanted to snuggle with her mom instead of taking pictures, but I got one and she is so adorable! I just love her to pieces. Now I’m looking forward to meeting my brothers new baby, Natalie, next weekend, I hope!
