My Parents are Cooler Than Your Parents

So his little shirt says "my parents are cooler than yours" and by looking at D's hair I am inclined to agree!

So I had the time (sort of) to squeeze in some last minute sessions before Christmas hits like a load of bricks. I am in love with C's family, they are all so beautiful! I love how they interact with eachother at every shoot and are not afraid to try things when I ask, even if they think I am a tad daft at times!

Tatted up mini session

So we will start with Keaton's "Duh" look beacuse we can never see enough of Keaton!

As the weather gets colder and I can't hang around outside what is a girl to do but create her own fun? I have been dying to photograph my friend A's tatoos so I called her up the other day and invited her to strip for me and let me photograph her. So she came over and this is the fun we had. I wish I could find my old peircer Jen! Her daughter is about the same age as mine, but Jen had such wicked tatoos (full sleeves) and I would really like to do some tatoo'd mommies and kids portraits! So if you are in the area and you know Jen get her to contact me! Also if you are in the area (Edmonton) and you have tatoos and kids call me or email me and I will do a session for you at half price!

Diaper cover gig

Guess who has a new gig taking photos of Keaton wearing the cutest diaper covers in the world??? You are correct it is me. I am photographing diaper covers for Elizabeth the owner of Geny. You can find her stuff here:

Check Keaton out he is famous!

Santa is comming

Keazy has a cute santa suit, so to check out the new lights I put him in it.

Here are some more of the cutest santa EVER!!! (I am biased)








Anyhow the bees have landed, but I have no clue how to use them. I need to advertise and get myself out there because I need to start paying for all I buy.

So weddings have been appealing to me lately. I have talked to my friend, wedding photographer Leighsa Smith and i think we might team up to shoot weddings. This is my dream, I will get to share in other peoples love (and hopefully get to express my creative side).

We will end with a picture of me, for a good laugh!

Sweet baby A

So I had the honour of photographing the newborn of one of my friends and maternity clients, baby "A". She was determined not to sleep a wink even though she is only 8 days old. I tried all my tricks (which are considerable because of my other life as a NICU nurse) but she was having none of it. Well we missed a few sweet shots because of the lack of sleep but her photos are beautiful anyways. They are only so little for a shot while. I will love watching you grow up baby "A".


Bound and determined to stay awake

Christmas cookies and snow

So we spent the day yesterday making christmas cookies. I know what you are thinking, "wow that is early for christmas cookies"! The reality is that if we don't make them now Santa might be munchin' on carrots with the reindeer, because I will get WAY too busy for baking soon. So My mom, Devlynn and I threw together ginger snaps, shortbread and made sugar cookie dough, while Keaton distroyed the kitchen. I will freeze most of them and pull them out at christmas time.

Yesterday seemed fitting for baking though, because we got our blanket of snow. We probably have a good 3-4 inches out there right now (or at least that is what it feels like when I shovel). Devlynn woke up this morning and goes my wishes were all answered, the ground is covered with snow, and all I thought was yikes I did not wish for snow last night.

Lastly My D

Bridal shower.

Last week I got invited to my friend's bridal shower. Super fun!!! We did all the fun bridal shower games and trank tea and ate cake. The kids were even good!












I got myself a new lens this week for when we jet off to the Dominican. I didn't have a telephoto lens and now I do. Of course the one I really wanted was $1700 way out of my price range, but the one I got is nice, for the day light.
