Wow…TWO!! (Almost) this little firecracker has been joy to our family through many tough times this last year, she always gives us a reason to smile!
This year was a big one for Stella, she started walking shortly after her birthday and hasn’t stopped exploring since! She is now talking up a storm and while we might not always know what she’s saying that doesn’t stop her from trying to get us to understand! She loves to sing, or when we sing to her. Her favourite songs to sing are Wheels on the Bus, If you’re happy and you know it and Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee. She LOVES Elmo, “Abby Dabby”, Grover, Cookie and all her “guys” who live on Sesame Street. Following in her Auntie HaHa (that’s me!) and Uncle Darrin’s footsteps her favorite movie is “Follow” (aka Follow that Bird). Her favourite bath time treat is ice cream and she knows if she asks and smiles just right at Grandma she won’t be able to say no! She loves to play hide and seek and hides in the same spot every time! But her favorite game is probably “chase”! She loves to be chased by grandma, uncle Ky and anyone who will run after her!
This shoot was pretty fun! Stella was so excited to see all the balloons and loved rolling around on them! I’m lucky my sister loves colour just as much as I do cuz I can always pull out my brightest ideas for Stella’s shoots and force them on her! Gotta find someway to bring some colour indoors when you’re shooting in Manitoba winters!!!
I was prepared for this shoot to be a challenge…she is two and energetic after all….how would I keep her in this contained space? Well this problem was simply solved with a Sesame Street band-aid with pics of all her buddies. I put it right where I wanted to her to be and then we would tell her “go stand with Abby and Grover!” and of she would go…carefully lining up her feet on the band-aid!
Keep your eyes peeled for her famous silly Stella smile. When you say to her “Does Stella have a smile? No way! Stella can’t smile” she pulls out the biggest “cheese” smile…eyes closed and all. It’s my favourite, I hope she never quits smiling like that 🙂
ENJOY Stella’s Celebration Session!!!

Sam is one!! Well he’s actually a little past one by now, but this is still his birthday debut on the blog!
When I started talking Celebration Sessions with Ayli at the end of last year I instantly knew that if they were game I wanted to do a book theme. We worked books into their maternity shoot, Sam has a book themed nursery, I just felt like it was a fitting theme! I hung about one hundred vintage book pages and Ayli and Phil brought over Sam’s book collection and we were ready to go! A Celebration Session fit for a bookworm!
This was a really fun session and I had just as much fun catching up with Ayli and Phil as I did shooting the pictures. It was great to hear all about Sam’s first year, their adventures in parenting and reminiscing about their first few weeks as parents when they came for a newborn session.
Sam is such a friendly kid! In no time he crawling right up to me and wanting to look at all the pictures in my camera instead of being in the pictures! Te he. He LOVED to push the buttons! I think he needs a camera 😉
Enjoy!!

It’s been such a pleasure to watch Brayen grow up in this first year of her life! Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and now a birthday shoot! This little lady is a pro at photoshoots by now! She definitely loves the spotlight, I would say her favorite part of the session was all the pics of her by herself. Te he.
It was neat to see the changes in Brayne just between now and September, I loved the baby babble and hearing her “talk” to us, she has this adorable “excited face”, she was clapping, walking and showing me all kinds of tricks!
Enjoy these few faves from Brayen’s celebration session!!!

A couple of weeks ago Emerson came over for some birthday and Christmas photos! Last time we saw this cutie was in the summer and she sure has grown since then! Once she had warmed up and gotten used to her surroundings she was full of giggles and cute little expressions! Doesn’t she have the most gorgeous eyes??!
She LOVED the Christmas tree and probably would have been happy to play with ornaments the whole time. She sure does look like she’s ready for Christmas doesn’t she? I love her toque…maybe I could get one in my size 😉
ENJOY!
