Over the past three months my family and I have all become quite smitten by this sweet little lady….her little voice, her big smiles and her little personality.  She loves her play mat, loves to “talk” and much to her auntie Julie’s dismay she LOVES the birds on her swing.

Stella brought out the big smiles for us during this shoot….and all it took was us taking off her pants! lol.  She loves to have those legs free!

Happy 3 months to Stella!  Can’t wait for all the fun we will have together this summer!!

Stella has a number of shopaholic aunties in her life….this adorable little Gap ensemble is from her Auntie Tam <3

“Help!  I’m falling!”  We had a good laugh over this….no worries, Stella had a good laugh over it too

This session was born out of me thinking about some of the things that inspire me….colour, patterns, seasons….I was determined to bring spring to this shoot even if spring was late in coming to Winnipeg!  I spent a lot of time thinking about the phrase “April showers, bring May flowers” and how I could bring that to this shoot.  When it was time to find a model for this shoot I knew exactly what I was looking for a cute little brunette with LOTS of personality in front of the camera….and one little lady popped into my head.  Jordyn.  This little crowd pleaser has so much personality and was whipping out all kind of poses for me!  When her mom stepped in to help her fix some wardrobe she would say “out of my pictures mom!” – she was taking her work as a model seriously! So cute!

Thank-you so much to Jordyn’s mom Chantel who jumped on board so enthusiastically and packed a lovely little suitcase full of bright colours, bracelets, lip gloss, headbands and all things girly!  And thank-you to my lovely little model Jordyn who did not hold back at all in front of my camera!

This is what I LOVE to do.  I love to dream and plan and craft and create shoots like this that show imagination and personality!  I am so thankful that this job allows to me to continue to live with a childlike imagination and create things that live in my day dreams.  I am so thankful to have so many wonderful clients who trust me to capture the precious memories of their children.

ENJOY!

Rain, rain, go away…come again another day!

Stella is growing so fast it’s hard to keep up with the blog posts!!  These pics are from one of our Saturday dates when she was just a month old.  Since Stella has been born I have hardly missed a weekend with her.  I must say, I was smart to take a few months off this winter because I have been able to fully enjoy this sweet little girl and I haven’t missed the work one bit  I love our weekends together – this particular weekend my parents were in Mexico so I spent pretty much the whole weekend at my sisters house – it was so fun (hopefully my sister thought so too, lol).  My favorite thing is putting Stella to sleep – it’s like a game.  One she’s not very good at yet and I always win! Te he.  Victory is sweet because it always ends with a cuddle.

Last weekend before I left I went to go put Stella down in her crib so my sister could take a nap and Stella woke up…I told my sister “just leave her – she’ll fall asleep”.  When I got back to Winnipeg my sister texted me that Stella fell back asleep and had a great nap…my response?  ”I taught her that”

A few weeks ago Mackenzie and her parents came over with a basket full of toys, wardrobe options and the cutest little sparkly pink shoes I’ve ever seen!  To top it all off they brought me a cupcake  Clearly they know the way to my heart is sugar!!

Mackenzie was sure not going to keep those feet still for long in those cute shoes, this little one looooves to keep moving!  I’m sure by the next time I see her this summer she will be running circles around me!  Since Mackenzie’s 6 months was so close to Valentine’s Day and since she is mom and dad’s little sweet heart they thought it would be cute to bring some hearts into the shoot – the perfect chance for me to use my heart garland from Yellow Bird  Yellow Beard again!

Enjoy!

Well it’s been quite a fun month and a little bit with Stella!  I have been pretty diligent with keeping my schedule manageable this winter so that I can spend as much time as I want to with my sister in Winkler.  We’ve had some pretty special days just hanging out at her house – me holding, playing, taking pictures with Stella and Gina just doing whatever she needed to get done at home.  I feel so blessed to be so close to my sister and have these memories together!

The last few pics of Stella are from her road trip to the big city to her Auntie Julie’s house!  That afternoon Stella’s great auntie Louise  came to visit her too!  As we were visiting with Auntie Louise we started to talk about how special Aunties are – and as someone who has SO many special aunties in her life I totally agree….and i’m so lucky I have had such amazing examples set for me – I can’t wait to make so many fun memories with Stella like the memories I have with my aunts

These pics are from about 9 days until just over 3 weeks, so you’ll see lots of pics of her famous bright eyes from the later weeks!

You will probably recognize three of the faces in this next family as they have been regulars on the blog for a few years and now they’ve welcomed a brand new member to their family! A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to meet brand new little Presley!  I spent the morning photographing her along with her mom, dad and big brother Owen!  Just like her big brother Presley was born with a gorgeous head of hair!  I’m sure Owen can’t wait until Presley is old enough to kick the soccer ball around with him, I think there will be two soccer stars in this household!

Can’t wait to watch this little lady grow up!  Enjoy!!

It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since I was at Sean and Sarah’s house for Cavell’s newborn shoot!    Since then we’ve marked some milestone’s in Cavell’s life with various shoots and now I have the privilege of introducing you to Sean, Sarah and Cavell’s new little man in their lives – Nixon!

It was a snowy snowy morning when I ventured out to their place and while it was cold outside it was nice and toasty inside the perfect temp for a new little man to be hanging out in his diaper!  Just like Cavell at her newborn session Nixon was a dream to work with!  At 5 days new he was sleepy, sleepy, sleepy!  The atmosphere in their house that day was so relaxed  - I set up for photos in the dining room and Sarah brought me Nixon and besides checking in on him every now and then, they just let me do my thing.  This kind of trust that they placed in me just made me feel so incredibly lucky to have them as clients!  By just going on about their day as I worked it also allowed me a peak into their daily lives and these family pictures truly imitate their life – this household is SO full of love and fun and laughs!  The love the Cavell showed to her brother during this shoot is no surprise to me because it’s the same kind of love her parents show her and show her with her brother.

Enough of me blabbing….enjoy this smiley little man and his gorgeous family!  Welcome here Nixon!!

Time for a peak inside Stella’s nursery!!

When I found out my sister was pregnant I immediately started looking on Pinterest for nursery ideas!  Gina just wanted something with bright colours, so I took it upon myself to find the perfect inspiration for her!  I searched and found something that I thought she would love….I showed her the pictures and she was ready to order the fabric after one look!  My talented mom sewed the bedding, curtains, change pad cover and pillow; I made the standouts for the walls (Dr. Suess print from HERE and the Bible verse  by me); we found the lamp at Target, Stella’s Auntie Melissa painted the piggy bank and the decal was put up carefully for Stella by her dad….clearly LOTS of love went into this room!
