Family - The Marinos

It was so fun to see the Marinos while I was in Calgary. I was honoured that Sandy wanted me to do a family session while I was up there, so I had no problem fitting her into my schedule. Naturally though, it happened to be one of the coldest days, during my visit, but we made the most of it! This is one of my all time favorite places, to shoot family sessions. I've never done one in the dead of winter,  so I was a bit nervous how it was going to go. Despite the bitter cold, the light was phenomenal! Looking at these images makes me miss my childhood 'home', even more!

Mini Session - Laina

This little heart throb was so good for me! I couldn't get over her stunning baby blues! She is such a sweet, pretty girl. I always love when I get to pull out some of my girly back drops and props. When I asked her Mommy what she would be wearing for her Birthday Mini Session, with me, I knew exactly which one I would be using. 

Happy Birthday Laina!

Newborn - Avery

This little man was so fun to work with! He was such a laid back little guy. My favorite part about him, were his sweet, squishy cheeks! Little Avery, and his big sister, are clearly very loved by their amazing parents. I had a wonderful time getting to know them, and chatting with his gorgeous Mommy. Sometimes I have so much fun, that I actually forget I'm working. This was definitely one of those sessions :-) Congratulations again on your beautiful new addition to your family. He is absolutely perfect!

Mini Session - Abigail

This sweet girl came to me to get some birthday pictures done. She was so good for me and obviously so, so ADORABLE! I had so much fun with her and visiting with her family. Abigail has the sweetest parents and I had a great time getting to know them, while being surrounded by all things girlie! (Which  I always love, since I'm outnumbered at my house ;-) )

Happy Birthday Abigail!

Cake Smash - Carson

I always love a good cake smash! I'm pretty sure this was my favorite 'cake smash reaction' I've ever captured. Carson was absolutely hilarious! He was unsure for a split second, at the beginning, but once he tasted that nommy nommy icing, he was ALL over it! Haha. We finished up with a fun baby bubble bath and he loved it. One year olds are so much fun! Their excitement is definitely contagious. I smiled all my way through editing these puppies. To top it off, I got to visit with his wonderful Mommy (who is also a great friend of mine). Sessions like this make me wonder why I even call this a job!?! 

Happy 1st Birthday Mr. Carson!

Christmas Mini Session - Nora and Mae

How much cuter can you get?!? I'm lucky enough to see these two little beauties on a regular basis. As soon as we moved to Michigan, their sweet and very welcoming parents had us over for dinner, and we've called them friends, ever since. These two sweet girls were so good for me during their session, and, as always, I had a lovely time visiting with their beautiful Mommy. If this doesn't get you in the Christmas spirit, I don't know what will!
