{who wants to play with me?}

Anyone up for a playdate?

Sometimes I have some ideas about certain images/poses I'd like to try during a shoot.

I don't always get the chance to try them during a regular shoot, so I'd like a few volunteers to help me out!

This playdate is to attempt a certain image/pose, although others may be done if time permits.

What's in it for you?

A free session and a 11x14 print of the shot.

What's in it for me?

The chance to be creative and do somethings I don't normally get to do, a signed photo release so I can display these images in print or on my website, and to get my baby fix!

Here are the criteria for the first few playdates coming up. Check back as I'll add other playdates in upcoming weeks/months.**

#1- a DEEP sleeping 3-4 month old baby. The chubbier the better! ***eta: spot is taken***

#2- healthy newborn twins under 7 days old ***eta: spot is taken***

#3- a mommy and daddy and newborn under 7 days willing to bare a bit of skin!

**sessions must be done within the next 4 weeks so if you haven't had your baby yet , that's ok, but contact me asap. First come, first served!

Now for some pictures!!

Here's a sneak peek for a couple expecting their first baby!

Can't wait to meet him/her!

Thanks for looking!

{perception vs. reality...a sneak peek}

Now, the perception in this first picture would probably be; beautiful couple, in love (they are having a baby!) dotting husband whispering sweet nothings in his glowing wife's ear. The expression on her face might say, "that's my man"...

REALITY:

While the first part is all true, the sweet nothings?? Probably went something like this...."Is this almost over?? Do I really have to be in these pictures? You know I hate getting pictures taken, right??"

I know her expression really says, "Do you SEE what I have to put up with??"

Sorry "A & T" just had to tease you a bit!! They were great and although "T" really doesn't like to get his picture taken, he did everything I asked him too with a smile. Just you wait, "T", until the newborn shoot!

"A" has been on bed rest for weeks now, as she'd been having preterm labour and delivered her first baby 10 weeks early! So we kept it real and hung out in the bedroom, where her an "M" spend lots of their day.

Little "M" is almost 3 now and is waiting for her new baby...

{notice anything... different?}

Thanks to my wonderful friends on Facebook, Brooke Bowland and Tiffany Playfair I now have BIGGER IMAGES!!!!!
HTML code is Greek to me so I would never have attempted to do this but with Brooke's super easy instructions and Tiffany's help when I screwed it up, voila!
Now the bad part...resizing a years worth of posts:( Not sure when I'll get around to that but I'll plug along a post at a time. Speaking of posts, I just noticed I am almost at 100 posts!! Yay me! I'll have to think of something special for my 100th post. Stay tuned. For now, here's a few more BIG images!

As always,

Thanks for looking!

{sneak peek} -winnipeg maternity photographer

We're off on a mini vacation this week but will be back to a crazy busy August. I only have one opening left in the month and am starting to book for September. If you're thinking of booking an appointment call me soon! Fall will book up fast!

I hung out with this couple who are expecting their first baby. We went to the Cathedral which made for some fun pics! I love outdoor location shoots for maternity pictures. "C & T" were super easy going and I can't wait to meet their new baby!

Enjoy your sneak peek!

{sneak peek}

I met the SWEETEST couple last week who are expecting their first baby. They were so warm and welcoming and after sitting down with them to chat before we started I felt like I'd known them for years.

When I pulled up in their driveway, I gave a little squeal when I spotted the huge cherryblossom tree and little red bard , (I SO want a barn!!!). I couldn't wait to get outside!!

I had a great time hanging out with these two and they are going to make GREAT parents!! They are so easygoing and relaxed.

As I was packing up to leave I spotted a guitar in the corner of their living room and had to ask if someone played. Dad-to-be is a musician so I dragged them back outside to get this. :)

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Thanks for looking!

{super baby}

Remember this Super Momma?

Well meet their Super Baby!!

The long anticipated arrival of baby "G" happened on his original due date almost 2 weeks after the "new" due date.

Congratulations Mom & Dad on your first baby. This little cutie was 5 days old for is second photo shoot:) and he was a star!! After a short alert period and a quick nurse, he was out like a light for the rest of the 2 hours I was there. He let me put him anywhere, anyway. A photographers dream!! Thanks so much C&C he is one beautiful boy!!

Thanks for looking!
