Time to catch up for the weekend

The last ten days of shooting has been fabulous! I have met some great people and have seen some awesome family dynamics. I always get a little warm fuzzy in my heart when I see my families interact. I want to thank all of you for your patience if you were waiting to see yourself up on the blog. I truly loved everyone of the last sesions that we all did together, but unfortunately I got to spend way more time under my desk, and less time blogging than I wanted to. Anyways, I put together a little collage showcasing some of my favorite images from the past few sessions. Enjoy!

Natasha And Family

This was a super fun shoot, not only are the Schiebelbeins a completely cool family to shoot for, but as a five some gave me a really good up close look at how my family is going to change. I met Natasha kind of through our kid's school and kind of through professional networking. she owns and operates Elegant Events here in the Hat. I haven't had a chance to work with her yet, but I can tell you she's got a good head on her shoulders and is super friendly as she loves to chat and also talk about the industry. We went downtown for their family urban session. I love the freedom and different backgrounds that comes with shooting families in a different environment. It's definitely a little more fun for the kids as well. Thanks for the great morning guys! IT was please to watch you guys interact and have with each other.

Photographing a Photographer

This is the second time that I have been asked to photograph Jamie and her very "easy on the lens" family. It was a great morning as I tried in earnest to win over the hearts of her kids...and I think in the end I might of won them over. Jamie said that her daughter thought that I had hair like a princess. lol...wow if princesses only had the problem with gnarly Pregnant natural curly hair like me. She also has the natural wave...lucky girl. We all know that little girls wear their curls oh so adorably and this one was no exception. Man I wish I could just pull mine into a bow like that! Her little boy has become quite the model over the last few months which I must say was a dream come true. It was fantastic to watch them interact with eachother and play the little games that we all play with our kids to distract them from what we are actually trying to do. Maybe if you look close, even you may be able to see "sniper" from wear he was hiding. Thanks guys it was a lot of fun.

Ben and Jill

did an enagement session for this super cute couple named Ben and Jill...oh yes, their dog Bridget. It was a great session and we even got some romantic snow for the soon to be wed couple! Honestly, they are such a gorgeous couple..how could they not get fabulous shots! Here are a few of my favourites.

Okay who am I kidding I have way more favourites than just these four.

School starts again. This time for the photographer

I am taking some more online courses in photography. You can never learn too much right? This weeks assignment was to use a lens that we love and shoot some very fast portraits in our normal style. Then after 10 minutes, we were asked to shoot using a different lens than what we normally use and try to shoot from angles that we never do. It was tough, but I did manage to get some good ones. My friend Brian was chosen to be my model as I don't get a chance to shoot many men.
