Valley Portraits

July 31, 2009

Well this was my second Family Session of the week. Would have been the 3rd if the rain would just stay away. So for this shoot Niki & I headed just outside Melville to the Miller Ranch. Wow, what a beautiful yard, farm and family. It was very obvious what a hard working, fun loving family this was. Niki & I both felt so welcome. They were such a great bunch to work with which is why we took probably way longer than we should have. Sorry if we delayed your supper everyone. :) Now on to uploading some of my favorite images. Seriously, I don't know how I will choose so this could be a long one.

PS: Could these kids be any cuter. I could have taken every single one of them home.

The Haas Family

July 31, 2009

| Family

The other night I traveled to The Haas Farm for a family sitting. I have known this family for quite some time now and shot for them before. They couldn't be nicer and more fun. We had a great time trying different shots in different locations and had animals following along for the whole time. Thanks again guys for everything.

The Sefton Family

July 13, 2009

| Children | Family

This evening the Sefton's made the complicated trek out to my place as my road is now under construction. Wow, its going to be a long summer till that is done. I have taken photos of the kids before but never the whole family. The weather wasn't the best but at least it was dry and they were all so great to work with. Mom and dad looked great and the kids were so adorable. I have learned that working with children should not be this rigid event. It should be fun. It should be play time. That's when you get the great results like tonight. Thanks for all your efforts everyone. Enjoy this small selection of images.

One last comment about this last image at the end of the blog post. I am sorry Erin but its just not fair that you look so amazing when you are chasing after two small kids. Gorgeous :)

I'm Back!

July 9, 2009

| Children | Family | Personal

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd do up a quick post to let you know that I am back from my "mini vacation". I have decided that if anyone is ever in a drought situation, all they have to do is contact me and have me come visit for a few days. Guaranteed that the rains will come with me, lol. But none the less it was a nice few days off, especially after just wrapping up grad season. Now its time to get caught up on that editing. That is, between the upcoming weddings, engagement shoots and family sessions. So anyway, just thought I'd let you know that I am back and that I will be getting in touch with all of you who are waiting for edits. Thanks for your patience everyone. It seems that the "shooting" season is so short and so many people to squeeze in. Now because every post is better with an image, here's a few from my time at Greenwater. I am afraid that between the rain, etc, I didn't really have my camera out all that much. I totally missed getting photos of my sweet Awien and Marley. Sorry girls. I will get you next time. For now here's a few of our little man Kobe. Well, not my little man. Rory's daughters little man so very unofficially I am Grama and I love it.

Okay, I know I am probably a bit impartial but isn't he just the most adorable little boy? I mean come on. I just love these two images of Kobe and his mommy.

Melissa & Ryan are having a baby!

July 3, 2009

| Family | Lifestyle | Maternity

Tonight I had the great pleasure of shooting the photos of this lovely couple, for the second time. I shot their wedding 3 years ago on a very windy Saskatchewan afternoon. Now, tonight, I got to capture how beautiful Melissa looked at another special time in her life. Pregnant. Only 6 weeks to go which is crazy cause she looks absolutely stunning. And Ryan, you didn't look so bad yourself, lol. Thanks for being so helpful and doing all the running. Seriously you guys, I am so happy for you. Just thinking about all the exciting firsts that are about to come into your lives makes me smile and I absolutely can't wait to meet your special little man. Its great to see you anxiously awaiting his arrival and like I said Melissa, I am so happy you are celebrating this time with photos. These are wonderful memories you are making and the photos will mark this special time for you. See you all in 6 weeks.

Tina & Curtis - Family Session

July 2, 2009

| Family | Lifestyle

Tina & Curtis were out for her brother's grad the other day so decided to have a quick little mini session. I really like how their photos turned out. What would they do with a whole hour, lol? Anyway, I was booked when they got married 3 years ago so it was nice to get a chance to work with them. Even though "the birds" seem to know when someone is in the yard that is afraid of them, right Tina, lol? Thanks for braving the wilderness with me. Here's a few of the shots.
