A Pretty Little Ginger!

Once again, I admit to my weakness for redheads. :)

Recently this pretty little red head was in to see me again with her parents to celebrate her first birthday. I'm finding it hard to believe how fast all these little people grow, but when faced with the evidence, I can't deny it! Her parents brought lots of things to use in our session, and I always love it when people bring in team jerseys, dance recital costumes and other fun things to their session. Generic props are nice, but it's even better when you can find a way to incorporate some of your own family flavour into your photos!

Thanks for coming to see me again, guys! It was a pleasure! :)

Baby Boom!

It seems like there is a bit of a baby boom on lately at the studio. I have seen so many gorgeous little boys and girls, and brand new big brothers and sisters in the past few months. I was happy to welcome back my old school mate Joe and his wife Rhonda when they recently brought in their little man. They were in to see me for maternity photos a while back, and I couldn't believe how big their little guy is already! And sooooo gorgeous!!! Check out those CHEEKS!!! (both sets... ;)

Ooooooh LA LA!!!! :)

Just a quick note before I go on....this post might be a little too hot for work!

I have always loved shooting women, and helping them see how absolutely beautiful they are. Recently, Ashley came in for some really fun photos as a gift for someone special. Ashley did our Boudoir Glam package, which included hair, makeup and a 5x7 album of prints!

We had a blast, and she was absolutely stunning....I just love how these turned out!

So without further adieu, and with Ashley's permission to share, here are a few from our session....












Thanks for coming to see me Ashley...I hope these photos will continually remind you of what a beautiful woman you are! :)

All work and no play.... ;)

Occasionally, I have a very tough assignment.

I mean rough.

Vern is a local personal trainer who has been preparing to compete in the recent Fame 2009 Bodybuilding competition, and he came to see me the day before he competed. He was in such fantastic shape from a lot of hard work and dedication, and it was amazing to see it all come together for him! I look forward to seeing him and his lovely wife for some more photos in the future, as he prepares for another upcoming competition.

WAY TO GO, VERN!!!! You are awesome!!!! :)

Old Friends!

I first met this gorgeous little lady when she was the flower girl at Crystal and Shane's wedding a couple of years back. She was the tiniest little flower girl, and did a great job all day long!

It was with great excitement that I greeted her, her parents, and her new baby brother for a recent session. I have already gotten several calls from friends who have seen the photos and want to book, so I am sending a huge thank you to these fabulous little kids for making me look so good!!! :)

Happy Birthday To Me. :)

So I went and had (another) birthday. Sigh.

I was getting all depressed about getting old (er) and then I decided to stop being such an idiot and share my birthday with some of my favorite peeps. The first 5 people to book a session in-studio will recieve a free 8x10 photo of their favorite family pic from their session. Just post a comment at the bottom of this post that says something like: "Give me your birthday present!" and make a booking for a family session and you are in! If you already have one booked, you can get your free print by posting below. This is a blog only special, so I need to see your comment here in order to be eligible.

So there you go.....my advancing years are your little bonus! :)

More Dance Pics!

This year we got an early start on the annual Dance School photos for Jennifer's Jazz it Up's competition kids. Many of these dancers are involved in several (or more!) dance numbers in groups and solos, so it can get pretty crazy when we try to get all of it done in one day. We shot all day a few weeks ago, and got some fantastic photos!

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your fantastic Dance School, Jennifer! :)

OH BABY!!!! lol!

This little doll is one of my most frequent flyers, and she isn't even a year old yet! :) I don't even think I need to say anything more, because one look at the photos will tell you what a fantastic baby she is to photograph!

Thanks for bringing her in guys! :)
