Graeme & Yvonne - Engagement

I met up with friends Graeme and Yvonne yesterday to shoot their engagement session. It was another classic Victorian overcast day, perfect lighting for shooting. This session took place at Graeme's uncle's farm, the same place where they are to be married on May 24. I am definitely looking forward to their wedding day, especially with all this talk of formal pictures including horses and the firehall (Graeme's a firefighter). I had a hard time only choosing a few favourites, they are such a gorgeous and fun couple!

I love how Yvonne can still look like a model while being pushed in a wheelbarrow!

PS - This was my first shoot with the Nikon d300. Two thumbs up! Also, for the techy-nerds (like me!) out there who may be interested, I created a sweet black and white conversion action that has really been making it difficult for me to choose between colour and black and white! I am going to post the difference in the near future :)

Baby D.

I am back from my trip "back east" as they say here in Victoria. To me, Saskatchewan is still very much west! But I am back, nonetheless, and one of the first things I did was go and visit Dallen and his parents... and his dog who was less than impressed about being locked out of the photo shoot! When I first met Dallen, I immediately loved his smile! He is just so sweet and his eyes will absolutely melt you. He was so happy and easy-going, such a dream to photograph.

When I first saw these ones, I actually gasped, because his eyes were so stunning!

I love when they nibble on their toes!

PS - for all of my photos posted here on the blog, if you want to see them larger, just click on them!

Away

I am flying to Regina, Saskatchewan tonight as my husband's grandfather has passed away. I will be gone until Saturday, March 22, so telephone might be the easiest way to get ahold of me if you need to!

Despite the circumstances, I am really looking forward to being surrounded by so much family.

See you when I get back :)

Baby T.

Linsay & Graeme brought over their little one to meet me on Tuesday. He is so little! Only 6 lbs! He was such a good little model; he never got upset and he let me put him in all kinds of poses. Baby T. is my little leap year baby, you may have even seen him on the news! Here are some of my favourites... of course there were so many that it was definitely hard to choose :)

Baby H.

She's here! You may remember Sabrina's maternity session from a post in February. I met up with Sabrina and her family yesterday to meet the newest addition! Baby H. is so sweet, and reminded me so much of how my daughter Eva was when she was a newborn. Baby H. was 8lbs, 5 oz. and Sabrina says she is an amazingly easy baby! She sure is sweet :)

Before... and after!

She was having a good nap when I got there.

But once the clothes were off, she was wide awake and wanting lots of snacks!

Smooches from her mama.

Safe in her daddy's arms.

Big Sister soothing her.

On the bed!

Chris & Janet - Wedding

Last weekend I was with Chris and Janet as they exchanged their vows. It was such a beautiful day! Janet has this great spark and such a wonderful smile :) Congratulations to the two of you!
