3, 6, and 9 months

I was very fortunate in the last few days to photograph these little cuties! The first little gal I met was 3 months and super happy to be photographed and in the studio. Honestly these is nothing more precious than that little 3 month old grin. She was ecstatic to be naked and the accidents were minimal! Here's a little sneak peak from her "cheeky" session



The next little guy to come and visit me was Declan. I had the opportunity 6 months ago to photograph him while he was still brand spanking new to the world. He was a delight! I absolutely love to see how much they have grown in the past little while. It's also super cool to see how much he looks like his parents as all of his expressions and features are growing past that little itty bitty baby stage. Here is his little sneak peak, this no we had no accidents to report, (mom and dad, I don't think Declan is going to win the 2008 Madchen studio body fluid award this year!)





This last little gal, i must say is a very serious 9 month old. she did some serious playing and lots of leaf removing as we begged her to look up and smile. Isn't she a sweet heart? We had a lot of fun with her, moving her to different locations to see if we could get her full attention. I guess you could say we are just not as exciting as grand old mother earth!

Ilona and Brandon's Engagement Session

Early on Sunday morning I met with Brandon and Ilona for their engagement session. When we first got to the park the grounds were fairly wet which was a little limiting for some of the things I wanted to do with them. That's okay though, because they did amazing at everything we did. I must say and I know I've commented before, but Brandon knows how to shop, because her ring is absolutely gorgeous!! Congratulations to Ilona and Brandon, I am sorry about calling you Josh, I can assure you that there is no Josh in Ilona's life! I do have quite a few favorites from their session, but you have to check this shot first shot out! It's probably my favorite spontaneous action shot for 2008!

I think they look like a couple of Rock Stars here! I love it!


I twas fantastic hanging out with the two of you, and it was great to finally get to know you guys as a couple as well. I hope that you have a great time planning your wedding and I can't wait for the date!!

Glen and Debbie

Glen and Debbie's wedding marked Madchen Studios last 2008 wedding in Medicine Hat. We had a blast with this couple. The ceremony was wrought with emotion. These emotions were so strong that they are still evident and captured in their receiving line photos. Glen and Debbie were together for 12 years before tying the knot. Wow what a celebration and party they had to commemorate their nuptials. Glen and Debbie I trust that you two will be very happy and will continue to be each other's joy and support for years and years to come!






Here are two outtakes as well. just because I thought it would be funny to show your guys are positions for some of these photos. I will admit though that this was the first time Marty climbed a tree to get a shot.

Gorgeous Couple

I have been wanting to blog this entry since last month, but I wanted to get permission before I posted any of these couples photos online. Emily and Blair contacted me in the summer to do some enagement photos for them in the fall. The day that we chose was windy, but we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. the fall colour were rich and bright. Emily was beautiful and I would have to say the Blair makes her glow. These two could definately teach a class in how to be the perfect couple, because that's exactly what they were!

September is time for back to school AND Family photos

Tonight I got I got to capture a fantastic family in action. Unfortunately for the two teenage boys they had to get their photos taken in order for that to happen. Seriously though, they were also fantastic and patient as they were placed, posed, then moved and placed and posed again. After the family photos were finished, the boys left and the parents got some one on one face time. It was so nice to see them by themselves.

Brain Injury Relearning Services Fun Run 2007

I help out Brain Injury Relearning Services by offering to shoot their fun run finish line photos. I am starting to do this on an annual basis for them. They are able to sell the prints and make some good money for their program. The day started early and cold, but once I was set up, time seem to fly by and a little sunshine started to warm us up. The fun run's numbers were down this year which is unfortunate. Hopefully next year they will have a greater attendance list. The kids from Eagle Butte High School participated (and dominated) again this year. It's fantastic to see such caring and community responsibility from the youth there. Here are some photos from the shoot.

Brett and Camryns Yearly photos

It was another hot day in the hat. Fortunately kids don't seem to mind the heat so much and can smile like it's temperate outside and it doesn't even matter. The occaision this time was the yearly birthday photos for the kids. I got some really good shots of them. The older boy is just starting that age where he doesn't want to pose so much for the camera, but his mother got him to show his pearly whites. God bless mothers. The little girl will pose for the camera as soon as it's pointed her way. She is definately model perfect.

Baby Portrait

This little guy was so much fun. I have never seen a baby be so happy and patient in the hot sun. He had fantastic red spiky hair. I really contemplated asking his mom if I could take him home with me.

Brett & Tiana

Brett had asked me to do some photos of his girlfriend Tiana for her grad. The two of them are a wonderful couple and were very natural in front of the camera. They seemed to have a lot of fun during the shoot, as did I. Her dress was fabulous with a corset lacing up the back. We ended the shoot by taking a couple of photographs with his gorgeous red truck.
