B2 Photography | Winnipeg, MB

Tonight I had a shoot with the family of an old friend that I met in University. It’s so nice connecting with old friends again, and it’s great fun when it happens with a photoshoot. I did engagement shots for her a number of years ago, and I was flattered that she liked them enough to come back for more pictures!! Her family was great, following all my crazy instructions; climbing into high places and sitting on the road. After we were done with the family shots we took some couple shots too…..so there’s more to come. With the days getting so short I was scared we were going to run out of light. There’s such a fine line between beautiful evening sunlight and not enough light, but the family agreed to meet a little earlier (THANKS!) and it was so worth it. The light was amazing!! Part 1….

Sunday afternoon for my second shoot I met up downtown with Stacey and Chad. If you asked them both how it was you would probably get very different responses….what’s with guys not enjoying a photoshoot? Check out some of my favorite shots.

Yesterday our family was bursting with pride for this beautiful lady. She raises the smart factor in the family and now even more so with those extra three letters at the end of her name….CMA. She probably thought I was crazy for dragging her to the top of a parking garage to take her grad photos, but who says you need some special spot to take great photos? I knew I had to work fast when she was standing out there shivering….this is what we came out with. And yes….those red soled shoes are the real thing

My second shoot this weekend was at the park with an energetic and entertaining young girl. We played with bubbles and ribbons and fed the ducks!

Today I had a blast at the beach with 3 adorable little girls. I think I tricked them and they thought we were just playing but really, we were having a photoshoot! How cute are they?! The hair, the smiles, the freckles!! They are lucky they are so much smaller than me or I may have tried to take Natalie’s leg warmers and sneakers home!!

The last wedding of the summer was probably one of the most important weddings i’d ever shot. It was my cousin and my very good friend. Just 3 short months before this I remember sitting on a plane flying to Las Vegas with Tracy looking at a Martha Stewart wedding magazine picking out things that would be cool at a wedding…little did we know we were finding things for Tracy’s wedding, ie. the M&M’s.

We had a LOT of fun taking pictures that day. Darrin and Tracy totally worked it and the camera loved them! So photogenic! Darrin was pumped at how fast I snapped. What can I say…after enough weddings you learn that the groom and groomsmen don’t LOVE taking photos all day!
This is going to be a long one….

The much talked about pink shoes!

I shot a sequence of “first sight” pictures that almost made Tracy cry when she saw them in her album. I had to stop shooting that day after about 5 pictures because they were making me cry! That’s the trouble when you shoot family weddings…it’s hard to look through the viewfinder with tears in your eyes!

Darrin being silly and making Tracy laugh…this happened a lot throughout the day.

Bling Bling! We’ve got wedding rings!!

Darrin snickered after this picture, “what?” “I jumped like a ninja”.

Check out the Iron Maiden belt buckle. Weddings are so fun when the couples personality shines through and they do things “their way” instead of the “wedding way”. Refreshing!

There was much joking and talking about these pink ties all day…but they probably secretly loved them!

Where’s Waldo wedding ring style!

Rewind way back to the beginning of the summer….in June I took newborn shots with baby Mackenzie, who was about 2 weeks old. She was awake pretty much the whole time and kept us entertained with all the different faces she liked to make. Mackenzie’s mom Kelly is a special friend of mine, she was one of my first friends when I started my last summer job as a university student and we bonded over Christmas lights…long story. I’m pretty sure when Mackenzie first heard my voice at her house that day she thought “hey, i’ve heard this girl before….talking to my mom, something about Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson”.

Such hard working being this cute…

 

Torrin was about 4 months when I took these pictures at the beginning of the summer, hard to believe how much he’s grown since then. Mom and Dad got in on some of the photo action at this shoot too.
