{sneak peek}

Show of hands....

Could this baby BE any cuter????

Ummmmm.....NO!!!

Next to newborns, I LOVE to photograph this age. This little guy is 8 months old and not yet crawling. Which means, in photographer's speak, he can't run away from me!!

His mom was worried we wouldn't get any smiling imasges.

Well, "C" you can stop worrying!

Of course I got some serious faces as well.

Poor little guy was teething, so anything and everything went in the mouth!

Enjoy your sneak peek "C&T" will be in touch when the gallery is ready!

Thanks for looking!

I'm finally undigging myself from the holiday session rush! And holiday card orders are starting to come in!

Just a reminder if you would like holiday cards, the deadline for press printed cards is Tuesday November 18th. These take up to 2 weeks to come in so they need a bit more time. For the photopaper cards the last day to order is Tuesday Dec.2nd and they should be to you by that weekend.

I also have gift certificates available for anyone wanting to give the gift of portraits this Christmas!

On to the sneak peek!
This little peanut is not a stranger to me or my camera! This family was one of the first clients I ever photographed, and was pumped to see them again! Little "J" was pretty serious the first 2 times we met but this weekend she was all smiles!! I love her eyes, they are so brown and just sparkle!

As I write this post there is sleet hitting the window and a weather warning in effect. Hard to believe these pictures were taken just 5 days ago. This was probably the last nice day of the year.

Your gallery will be ready this weekend!

Thanks for looking!

{friends & neighbours... part 3}

This next sneak peek is for 2 great families!

First the "H" family...

This couple were the first neighbours we met when we were building our house and we were so happy to have such nice people living across from us!

They are now 2 members bigger since we first met them! You wouldn't recogniser her, but baby "J" was featured in a blog post this past summer.

Big sister "M".

Next up is the "C" family!

Mom "E" is a friend of mine from a mom's group and this is the 2nd time I've photographed them. I love working with them because "E" "gets me". They like unposed, unscripted, real and I love that!

This time I turned the camera on them as a couple instead of just as parents and I am thrilled with what we got!! I {heart} sunflare!!These aren't even my favs!!

Both of your galleries will be ready this week!

Thanks for looking!

Here's a sneak peek for "N&J"!

We met at Kildonan Park on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.

I love this park for pictures, there are alot of great spots! These two little cuties were great for me, although "J" had to be coaxed with mini m&m's! Whatever works!!

Baby "D" was just 8 weeks old but full of smiles and even fell asleep at the end and gave me some cute sleeping shots!

ETA: here's another Paper Raisin Creation. And I just realised I put it on the baby backwards, lol!!! Sorry Lee-Ann :) !

Thanks for looking!

{a good shoot} Winnipeg child photographer

You know you're going to have a good shoot when you walk into a house that has light like this:

A backyard that looks like this:

and children that look like this:

I know mom wasn't too sure how we would get anything out of this session. Having a 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old does not make for an easy session, but these were sure worth it!!

Thanks "A" family! I'll be in touch when the rest are done!

Thanks for looking!

{baby love} - winnipeg newborn photographer

Newborns are probably my favorite age to photograph. All ages are special and fun for their own reasons but capturing the fleeting moments of the first few weeks of these little lives is especially rewarding to me.

Mom and dad are getting their gallery as we speak so this isn't a real sneak peek but I had to share a few of these. Among them, a pose I've been trying to get with a newborn but couldn't get, until now. It's my new favorite image!

This adorable hat is another creation from Paper Raisins. If you haven't checked out her website yet, you really should!! She is wonderful!Thanks for looking!

{sneak peek baby!} -winnipeg baby photographer

This gallery will be ready right away but I wanted to share a few of my favorites!

Meet baby "C"! His Mommy and Daddy are a few posts down. Remember the cherry tree and barn? Here is their new baby boy.

This little guy wanted nothing to do with getting naked!! He had no trouble going to sleep but as soon as he was naked, now matter how hot it was, (and it was HOT!!) he woke up! Oh well, we got some AMAZING pictures!

And my new favorite image!!!

ETA: I forgot to mention this gorgeous wrap was made for me by my friend Lee-Ann from Paper Raisins. (website on the right) I also got some cute newborn and baby hats. Hopefully I'll have some cuties posted soon wearing them!!

Thanks for looking!

{sneak peek}

So I've been a bad blogger so I'm giving myself a challenge to get back into the habit of blogging! Get ready for a post a day for the next 7 days!

I spent the afternoon with this cute little guy and his mom and dad. This was a quazi-newborn shoot as mom wanted to have baby announcements done but this little guy is already 1 month old. He was very wide awake and alert, no sleeping for him, thank you very much! We really tried and we managed to keep him asleep for maybe 15 mins. Power nap over, he was up and quite tired of the paparazzi. We did get some beautiful shots and can't wait to finish them up!

I'll be in touch soon, for now here's your sneak peek!

Dad requested a few photos of their "first child" and this furry baby was happy to let me! Should I stick to kids????

Thanks for looking!

{I should be...}

I should be doing one of the thousand things I need to do before I leave for Chicago, but here I am!!

I had no intention of doing another post before I left but as I was downloading these images I couldn't help playing with them. Then I couldn't help but share! Some of my new favorite images are from this session!!

I've known the father of this family as long as I have known my husband. They used to play hockey together as children, work together in a restaurant as teenagers, and they work together now for the same company.

We had a blast at their home on Sunday during their session and for a BBQ after. My family was there, my children acting as assistants! They generally were good but "I" kept leaning on me to see into the camera! Talk about camera shake,LOL!!

Here's a sneak peek "S&N".

and I'll leave you with my new favorite image....

Thanks for looking!
