Maternity Session :: Ora

February 19, 2015

Maternity sessions mean something new to me now that I have been on the other side of the lens.

Ora and I met at the hospital when both of us were pregnant.  There were no seats (shocker) but when we did find one it was next to her and her husband.  Probably the best way we could have spent the next 5 plus hours.  Needless to say there was nothing they could do to help either of us.  So from a giant waste of a day came a new friendship.  So totally worth it.

Fall has never been one of my favourite seasons but this year the leaves were insane colours and I couldn’t resist.  Someone had to do a session amongst the vivid colours.  I managed to convince Ora and her family to come out on a damp morning and hit up the local trails.  Nothing like the smell of wet leaves in the air.

It took me a while to post these but am truly excited to share them.  I would wish her all the best in the coming of the baby but I’m too late to the game.  She had another little girl and she’s just as cute and sweet as the first.  Now to convince them to come out in the snow!  J/k  We had too much fun during this session that the only thing to top it would be a guys vs girls snow ball fight.  Fair fight – Andre is used to being outnumbered!

The Rossnagle Family

January 7, 2014

Fall photography is like nothing I ever expected.  I had no clue that I would get so many calls to do family photos in the leaves.  Nor did I ever pay attention to when the leaves started to change colour each year. Then again this whole photography thing has made me open my eyes to a lot of things I never paid attention to.  Like the direction of the sun, hight of trees, shade, shadows, foliage, randomly parked cars, rocks… you get the picture.  Just went through life with my eyes half open.  My mother used to see the beauty in the leaves and nature but I just thought she was crazy.  ‘It’s just a tree’ I would say when she would name them.  Most famous tree of all was the Christo’fur’ tree.  If you don’t get it… just think a little harder.

When Lorysa said her family was going to be in town and she wanted to book her session it was still summer.  She wanted a fall time slot. No problem I thought. My schedule is wide open.  Good thing she contacted me early because the closer it got the more calls that came in. I didn’t realize how popular fall was for family sessions.

I love shooting families.  Dynamics are so different and you never know if your going to get a close knit family or one that smiles because I told them to.  Not the Rossnagles.  These guys were fun and willing to try anything.  I just love that.  Oh and when I say get close they snuggle right in.  Wish all all families were this close! I walked away from this session with a big smile on my face.

Marnie :: Cinderella Session

November 10, 2013

Cinderella is a classic story which involves a ‘Once upon a time’ and a ‘Happily ever after’.  Disney wouldn’t have it any other way.  This session was part of a giveaway I offered my fans.  When Hayley called and gave me the green light to come up with something one of a kind, my mind went all over the place.  I have so many ideas and love when my clients just roll with it.

As everyone knows, the story of Cinderella starts out  with her doing chores for her step mother and step sisters.  Living in a dingy room cleaning all day.  One night her fairy godmother appeared and gave her the chance of a life time.  With the wave of a magic wand, Cinderella had a beautiful dress, a chariot made from a pumpkin and the opportunity to meet Prince Charming.  The only thing was she needed to be home by midnight before everything changed back.

Since we all know this story I will save you the time of reading and just say little Marnie made the perfect Princess.  Despite the weather we got a few smiles and twirls in front of the mirror.  Totally Princess if you ask me!

Little known fact – Princess love Chicken McNuggets and will do just about anything to get their hands on them!
