Pregnancy Shoot at the Park

A beautiful fall day and an afternoon at the park with some lovely ladies. What more could you ask for?

I was so pleased when my client asked if I would take some pregnancy shots of her before "the big day". With only a few weeks until her due date, there was no time to spare.

Here are some of my favorites....






If only every woman was SO photogenic at 37+ weeks




Braving the cold!!




Here is the soon-to-be big sister



Seriously?!? Could she be ANY cuter?

She gave many kisses to the baby but...oh I had to be FAST to catch them!




Look at these two gorgeous girls!!




They are both stunning...and such good sports. They climbed monkey bars, swung on the swings, played in the leaves and we all had a great time!

I am so looking forward to meeting this new little person that is due to arrive very soon. (pictures to follow LOL)

A little sister -- 6 days old

Hmmm...I am on a "non-sleeping girl" streak. Sigh. I have big ideas for posing sleeping babies but none of them last week would sleep for any of us!


Here is a blink caught in frame






The princess in her daddy's hands







So sweet

Here is one of the proud big brothers (the biggest brother and big sister were at school when I visited)

It was such a joy to work with this wonderful clan. I was blessed to have been a part of both of these children's births and they are so adored by their parents. What a lovely family!

I am so pleased that I could be a part of your journey! I am looking forward to baby number five (nudge nudge wink wink :)

We're back!

We have returned from our summer road trip! In nine days, we put 5580 kms on our van, travelled through 4 states and 4 provinces, drove through the Rocky Mountains, saw the Pacific Ocean, and made it home alive!

Here was our general route Mapquest

I took nearly a thousand pictures and will update the blog with more details as I sort through them. In the meantime, here are a few highlights...

The prairies

The Badlands

The ocean



The mountains




The kids...at Kitsalano Beach in Vancouver at sunset




More to come soon...

Final Assignment

Our last assignment for the course was to do a few group shots so, here are the four youngest posing for me "one last time" (well....last time for homework for this class anyway :)






They weren't in the most cooperative of moods and we were all getting eaten alive by mosquitoes so it was quick but...aren't they cute?

May Long Weekend

We drove out to West Hawk Lake on Saturday to pick up The Bear who went camping with friends.


He even caught his first fish!!










It was a cool day but nice to see the sun. Perhaps Spring really will arrive?!?
