Jackie Hutchinson Photography

This will be the last post till the end of October. Glen is competing again in the World Long Drive Competition for his second time in Mesquite, Nevada, which is 1 hour from Vegas baby! So I’m hoping to hit up Vegas a couple of times to go shopping. Should be fun. Here are some sneak peaks for you Jenna, before I leave for two weeks.
If you want to hear a heart wrenching story, this little guy was in open heart surgery 3 weeks before I took his picture. What an amazing little trooper! Jaxon is a brave little man that is for sure. He braved the cold more than I did I think. I thought for sure we’d have to shut it down and go inside when to my surprise, Jaxon sucked it up and let me photograph him like a champ! I had such a great time, these guys were up for anything, and even thought to bring Jared’s sweet hot rod for some shots.

I thought I would share the email that Jenna sent me after the session, it really made my day:

“We had the best time with you on Sunday. It was such a wonderful experience. We both felt so comfortable with you and that always is a huge thing when you are getting your photos taken. Your an amazing photographer and really put your soul into your work. I could tell that once you spent that couple hours with us. All the best I will be checking out your blog I love seeing the new ideas that come about.”
-Jenna May

Thanks Jenna, I had so much fun too! I love it when people are up for being creative!

I can’t believe I just about forgot to post some from this session. I was just so quick getting the proofs ready for her, that I didn’t blog anything from it. We ended up staying inside for most of this session, it was chilly outside for pictures. I’m always so happy when mom’s can be talked in to being in a few of the pictures, it’s just so fun to see the baby light up with mom, and mom’s hardly ever get pictures of themselves with their babies, because typically mom’s are the one’s taking the pictures. So, if you have a session with me in the future, be prepared for me to ask you if I can photograph you as well:) Thanks Jen, your daughter is a total darling!

It just dawned on me this morning while getting these ready for my blog, that these little kids are blonde blonde while their parents are brunettes. Interesting, and then their Grandma is Blonde blonde too. So cute! Thanks to the whole family for purchasing a gift certificate, what a great gift;) It was so nice meeting you all, thanks for having me photograph you!

What a cute little boy and cute mom & dad too. It was so cold out the morning of this session, that we only got about 40 minutes to photograph. We focused more on getting a really cool family shot, and just a few of the little guy by himself, he was a real trooper. Thank-you Krista for having me do your family portraits! It was so much fun visiting with you guys and meeting Casen.

I sing praises to Jen Winter because she is the one who helped my business take off. She encouraged me to start my business and also sent me tons of referrals. I can’t thank her enough! So here are the sneak peaks she’s been waiting so patiently for. Thanks For having me photograph your wonderful family Jen and Chris. The kiddos were super fun, although a challenge, so cute, I couldn’t not post one of your little guy and the ladybug. Finding a lady bug is a good way to get toddlers to stop for two seconds, and this little guy kept getting the shivers thinking it was on him when it wasn’t. I don’t think that his dad telling him it’s going to eat him had anything to do with it:)

I don’t know if you can tell in these pictures, but these girls kept smiling for their mom, but not for me. As I was sorting through the pictures, they’d be looking away from the lens smiling and every time they are looking right at the camera, they have the most non-expressive look on their faces. I thought I was funny, but apparently these two don’t think so. They only smile for their mom and dad, or actually if their mom or dad is holding them. It’s always a pleasure to photograph these two little beautiful queens:) Thanks Tina for having me again!

I always have so much fun with these guys. They’re up for anything, and the kids are cute and hilarious! Thanks Amanda, for hiring me for your Christmas portraits 3 years in a row.

This is not an exaggeration, this is a large dog. Wow, and such a nice dog too, he’s just a big baby. I’m actually kind of afraid of dogs, but recently I’ve been able to interact with dogs and photograph them with the help of Sherry the owner of Scruffy’s Dog Grooming in Drayton Valley. I just love seeing the personality in all of these images with Brucie, the gentle St. Bernard. He is well loved and a pleasure to be around! Scruffy’s does an incredible job on keeping this dog well groomed too, I couldn’t keep from petting him:)

Cute stuff Arianna! I drive myself crazy trying to get toddlers to look at me, let alone smile at me. Usually if they are smiling it’s because mom is standing behind me and they happened to discover something new and looked at their mom excitedly. I can dance on my head, yell, scream, do whatever, and there comes a point in every session, that the one-year-old kid just won’t look at me anymore. I try to leave before this happens, but sometimes I can’t resist trying for one more:)

Poor kittens;) She loves them so much, and they were adorable for the pictures. I could see the fear in their eyes when they saw her coming. She’s so adorable.

Some people might recognize this great looking couple from an engagement shoot I posted on Flickr a while back, the couple that I led into the woods to an old abandoned house, only to be savaged by nasty fleas. I thought seeing these guys again, would bring back bad memories of that, but it didn’t even cross my mind. I couldn’t help but be so excited for the two of them to be married, and they looked amazing! Thanks Amanda and Chad for having me again, even after what I put you through. I had so much fun, and I can’t wait for our next session;)
