technical difficulties

Hey all, I just wanted to put up a post to let you all know that I am experiences some computer...problems. First my laptop / work computer decided to just die, and cut me off from my email. And now, apparently shaw webmail is experiences nationwide problems, and I am unable to get email access either. (ARGH!!!)
So... if you are needing to get ahold of me, especially about upcoming sessions, call my cel/work number. I can't even get your phone numbers (and address for tomorrow :oP) because I have them stored... on my computer.
Sorry for the inconveniences!! And thanks for being so understanding!
(cel number 833-2276)

little boy blue

Remember this couple's sweet maternity session? Well baby has arrived!!! I am so excited for you to see this sweet little guy! First, "mommy" and "daddy" adoring their little man:



And here's little boy blue himself at only five days old. So tiny. So adorable. And mom let me get in lots of cuddles. Thanks :o)


I am so proud of this mommy. I am always amazed when people I have known forever become mommies, and honestly, she is such a natural! Even after a rough delivery, and therefore recovery, she just seemed so at ease, and like she was made to be this little dude's mom.




I love the way he is staring up at dad here.


He kept winking at me :o) but I love this sweet little face. Is he adorable, or what?!?




This shot was actually tough to get! This little guy liked to stretch out, you can just imagine what that was like for mommy's ribs when he was still in her tummy! But I love how tiny he looks here.


And finally..I think dad's pretty proud of mom too! You guys are such naturals, and he is gorgeous! Congratulations, and be prepared for many more photo shoots in the future!! :o)

starting early

I am so excited to show off a few of these photos. I LOVE doing newborn shoots, more because I usually get a little cuddle in at some point than anything else. But I always love it when I get to try something a little different at a shoot, and this was one of those times. Anyways, this little miss was six days old on the day of her shoot, and she performed brilliantly. (oh, and if you're looking for mr. adorable, he's the post below, so scroll on down :o) there's some serious cuteness on this blog)

Here are a few of my favorites of the day:


Oh, and notice the new watermark/logo? It's all a part of the new website, which is almost ready, and I cannot wait for you all to see it! My cousin in law designed it for me, if anyone wants her contact info, let me know and I will get it to you!




Okay, now onto the shots I was really excited about...remember mom's maternity shoot, with the horses? So I thought we'd carry that theme on and get a few with the sweet girl on mommy's saddle. Ready for some serious cuteness?





And finally, you can't have a newborn shoot without some sweet feet (the only version of feet that I actually like :o)


Congrats again! I hope you enjoyed the peek, and I hope she keeps right on being a little angel for you!

little miracle

Every now and then I get asked to photograph miracles. You always hear about the miracle of birth, and until you experience it, either personally, or by being with someone else, those are just words. I have been in quite a few labor rooms, and it never gets old. I cry every time. I am amazed by the complexity of God's creation. How he knits these perfect little people together and they enter the world so...perfect. So miraculous. I stand in awe.

So I recently had the honor of being with this mommy for most :o) of her baby's arrival. Having had a photographer with me for the births of my babies, and knowing how precious those photos are to me, I am so honored when I get to be there with others and capture this AMAZING, life changing event. I don't post most shots, as they may not be the most glamorous shots ever :o) but here are a couple (that mom okayed - and she still looked beautiful...even in labor)






And then she was here...


All bundled in her cloth diaper :o) and newborn toque


And nestled, right where she belongs, with mommy.


L, I am so, SO proud of you. You have such strength, through everything. She is beautiful, you did it! She is here. Can't wait to come do her newborn photos and give her a little snuggle! See you tomorrow!
