Valley Portraits

May 11, 2010

It's been an incredibly heart breaking week for many people in the Melville area with the recent loss of Jason Haas. Jason grew up on the farm near Killaly and he and my oldest son Dalton played hockey together. I've known his family for a long time and they truly are such wonderful people. Jason was involved in a car accident along with 8 other children, many of who are still in the hospital recovering. Just thinking about it brings me to tears again. I can only imagine how all the friends and family members are doing. I am posting a few images from the Haas Family photos that I did this past summer. I just want to say that my heart goes out to Ken, Val, Randy, Danita and Tyler as well as everyone touched by this accident. You are all in my thoughts and my prayers. It is a constant reminder to tell our family and friends how much we love them and to live each day like it could be our last. If you care to leave comments for anyone involved, please feel free to do so. I'm sure your kind words can only be of comfort to everyone.
Rest In Peace Jason. We will never forget you.

Kristin, Jeff & Chase. A happy family :) - Regina Family Session

April 26, 2010

| Children | Family | Lifestyle

I first met Jeff and Kristin a few years back when I shot their wedding. So when Kristin contacted me about doing family photos now that they have a little one, I was so excited. I had good reason. They were such a fun couple to work with on their wedding and that hasn't changed. Plus, Chase is the most adorable and well behaved one year old. He was so easy to work with and he just wraps you around his little finger when he looks up at you with those big brown eyes. He is such a sweet little monkey. No wonder that's his nickname. Anyway, enjoy a few snaps from their session.

Kristin you are as beautiful as you were on your wedding day and such a loving mom :)

A monkey for the monkey :) He is so adorable!

LOVE, these next few images! You are such a great dad Jeff.

Jeff has a very special tattoo in honor of his dad.

The Heidt's are definitely huge Rider fans. We played football for some of their wedding photos so I was not surprised when they arrived with their own Rider jersey's. Go Riders!!

The Face of Depression

March 29, 2010

| Children | Family | Newborns

Well I have to tell you this is not going to be an ordinary post for me because this wasn't an ordinary shoot. I was very fortunate to meet some extremely amazing people this past weekend. We had this baby shoot planned for a little bit now. Baby Parker is the most adorable, smiley, happy baby and he is now 5 months old. However, a few things happened when Parker was born to make his first few months on this earth less than ideal. He had very bad colic and to top it off, his wonderful first time mom Danielle fell into a very deep Postpartum Depression. Just in case you are wondering, I have Danielle's full approval to publish her story. In fact, she insisted. That's just the type of person that she is. Here's a bit of background information. Danielle and Bruce thought that they very well may not have children because of her severe Endometriosis, but luckily that was not the case. They were very excited for the arrival of their first baby. Danielle is a nurse and deals with Cancer patients every day. Did I mention how wonderful she is? It seems so unfair that such a giving person would end up carrying this burden of depression, but indeed she did and it has taken 5 months for them to get their wonderful little family back on track. They are still working on that, day by day. Unfortunately there is a stigma that goes along with depression and help seems hard to find at times. That's why Danielle wanted me to publish her story. Its funny, when I met them I instantly felt like I had known them forever and I knew I would be walking out of their home with not only new clients but new friends. Before we knew it we were talking about everything that had happened in their life and in mine for that matter. Everyone has trials and tribulations in their life. I have been no different and have battled with depression once myself. Its not easy. So we are publishing this in the hopes that it changes that stigma that is out there. People with depression are every day people. They are doctors, lawyers, clerks, nurses, photographers, moms and dads and there is no reason why people should be afraid to talk about what is going on or to seek out the help that is needed. No one should have to suffer in silence and put on a "smiling mask". So if you are someone suffering with Postpartum Depression, don't be afraid to go for help. You are not alone. Please go to "The Smiling Mask Blog" based out of Regina for some very useful information. Also, you may contact Sally Elliot, who is a perinatal nurse at the YWCA in Regina (1-306-757-9622 Ext 242) or feel free to contact Danielle herself. She is an incredibly wonderful person and after suffering with this herself, she has been motivated to help others. I wish everyone was like her. So, as I said, this was not an ordinary post. I think its Extra-ordinary :) Thank you Bruce, Danielle and Parker for allowing me in to your home to capture some special, smiley moments between the three of you.

Now after viewing these images, do these look like the faces of "Depression"? Its such a common illness and we are so afraid to talk about it. Please use this family's bravery to tell their story as a lesson. Don't be afraid or ashamed to talk about it if you are going through it and don't be afraid to help others that are the one's suffering. If this story has touched you, even just a little, please leave your comments in support. Thank you.

Dearest Sharon and Danielle,

On behalf of The Smiling Mask Team, we want to thank you both, IMMENSELY, for your heart, spirit and energy by sharing your experiences that ARE much more common and normal than ever. May we all remain honest and caring by living our truths in the most loving way we know in this moment in time. Thank you for sharing your selves because you WILL undoubtedly reach people who need to hear the exact words you wrote. Here's to the hope and healing that surrounds Postpartum Depression!

With heartfelt gratitude and honour,
Elita Paterson, Carla O'Reilly & Tania Bird

p.s. The photos are marvelous in every way! From the beautiful parents who created such blazing blue eyes in Parker, to the home that has been decorated with such love and care.

Paula Dahlman says:

Thank you for capturing my beautiful sister in these photos (and of course, my handsome brother in law and cutest little nephew). They turned out amazing!! :)

Danielle's Mom says:

Thank you for capturing the beauty of Danielle, Bruce and Parker. It has not been an easy road for them....but you have captured all the love!!

(03.30.10 @ 07:39 PM)

Bruce's Mom says:

Danielle is a beautiful person, inside and out. Despite a struggle with Postpartum Depression, Danielle, Bruce and Parker have forged a loving and caring family that is also beautiful inside and out. Thank you for these eloquent pictures!

(03.30.10 @ 09:50 PM)

Denise Burns says:

Sharon's pictures have truly captured a loving family that have and will continue to survive. A tough start, but with the nurturing of loving family members, I only see a beautiful future together. It does not surprise me that Danielle wants to help others who are suffering - that is who she is - generous and caring.

(03.30.10 @ 10:30 PM)

V Trent Brister says:

I know the family from a distance...through Donna, Dani's Mum. I have been praying all works out for them best for them all. I too have been down that road of depression and am so proud of the strength that Dani and Bruce are showing to get through this and the endless support that their family is given means soooo much. GOOD for you Dani for reaching out to others. You have know idea how much that will mean to someone down the road. Trent

Danielle's Aunt Glenda says:

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your difficult story and letting others know that they are not alone. May your strength, bravery and the love of your caring family help take care of you as you heal.

(03.31.10 @ 12:11 PM)

One of many other postpartum moms says:

Thank You for sharing! I have had postpartum with both my children. Motherhood is filled with endless hours of cuddles, giggles and love. My postpartum came more in the form of anxiety. I felt overwhelmed with feelings of worry, fear and unneccessary guilt. I am so appreciative that someone so candid has opened the door to a topic that is rarely talked about. Thank You Danielle!

(04.01.10 @ 06:24 PM)

Bob Campbell friend of Donna says:

I too have been down the depression road and try to talk about it to people whenever the opportunity arises. I think its great that you are making more people aware, and the pics are fantastic, what blazing blue eyes.
From my experience depression can hit at any time for a few hours or days and I try to be ever aware of what triggers it and why also realizing that it is my problem and not caused by others.

(04.01.10 @ 08:11 PM)

Danielle says:

THANK YOU so much Sharon for capturing our beautiful family - this was our first family shot since Parker's birth and I was so excited - it felt like a personal celebration - a celebration of hope and life!
I did not expect to experience PPD when Parker was born five months ago (as I don't think anyone does). The emotional and physical pain in my head and heart was unrelentless and often became unbearable. I was hospitalized three times with suicidal thoughts and plans to end my life. The constant sleep deprivation/insomnia, overwhelming anxiety, horrifying shame and embarrassment, and daily emotional meltdowns when I would curl up on the floor and wish to die were terrifying. My husband accurately described PPD as "TORTURE" one night after watching and listening to me describe the disjointed irrational black thoughts spinning circles in my head.
I am no longer ashamed or embarassed to tell my story. I only hope it will encourage other mothers experiencing signs of PPD to come forward for the help and support they need. You are NOT ALONE.
A BIG thank you to my mom, sister, Bruce's parents, great friend Shauna, and extended family for all of their help and support over the last 5 months and to my husband Bruce, who was always there at my side telling me that we will get through this - we did! I love you so much! And to my son Parker - your smile is the shining light during my days and nights so that I may never be alone in the dark again.
Hugs, Danielle

Nikki says:

Thank you for sharing. As a PPD FTM as well - it's been a hard road. Thankfully, I have the love and support of my family and the bundle of mischieviousness, energy and joy that is my son.

Baby J

November 5, 2009

| Children | Family | Newborns

Yesterday I headed over to Balcarres to meet Miss J. I have worked with this family before for maternity, newborn and family photos. They are such kind and genuine people. Hmmm....I seem to say that about a lot of people but it really is true. I guess I am just fortunate to have such awesome clients. Anyway, newborn shoots are always a challenge and this one was no different. Lots of feeding to try and get them to settle. Somehow they just don't like getting naked, lol. Anyway, here's a few shots of the family and their newest addition. I just love all three of these little red heads. So adorable. Thanks again guys. Enjoy.

How adorable are these little ones!?!

A few weekends ago I got to do the family photos of some old friends. Darrell, aka Dad, aka Pepere was my boss in another life oh so many years ago. I was so happy to see him and his family again. They are such lovely people and even though we had to deal with the cold weather, we had a wonderful time. Thanks again for your hospitality guys and enjoy a few of your 'fun' images from that day.

Ashley & Family

| Children | Family | Lifestyle

Sorry for the delay in blogging lately. Its definitely been busy and hard to get everything done. There truly aren't enough hours in the day. A while back my good friend Ashley (and amazing hairstylist) brought her family for a visit and to try to get some photos. It was definitely fun and a work out for me as the kids had me on the run but with her cute kids it was hard not to get some great shots. Thanks for the visit guys. See you soon!

Lainie & Nate

September 22, 2009

| Children | Family | Lifestyle

Well tonight I had the best time with my little neighbours. I have known their family for years and I shot their mom and dads wedding over 5 years ago already. Wow, time flies. Anyway, it was a fun but challenging shoot. Fun cause it was with adorable kids. Challenging because one of them was a boy and he was 2, lol. Now I am not saying anything bad against Nate. He is so adorable. He's just a boy that is 2. I have been through this 3 times with my own. They are so busy and really want nothing to do with sitting for cameras. He also is totally in love with his hat and it was a challenge to get any shot of him let alone without his precious hat. Then there is his beautiful sister Lainie, who looks just like her mom I might add. She is so comfortable in front of the camera and reminds me of a young Nicole Kidman. A total little doll. I love the serious shots of her but don't worry mom and dad, there's plenty of adorable smiley ones as well. I hope you guys enjoy them. Thanks for making the drive over. Even if it is only a few miles down the road, lol. PS:I posted my very favorite picture of the bunch first. I don't know where I will put it but I definitely want a big canvas for my office. How fantastic is she?!?

The Erickson Family

September 3, 2009

| Children | Family | Lifestyle

Do you ever have one of those days? One of those days you kind of wish you never would have gotten out of bed. Well, for me, yesterday was one of those days. But then last night I had this great family show up from Fort Qu'Appelle for family photos and my day changed. They were so warm and genuine. Michael was so laid back. What ever we wanted to do was just fine with him. And Leslie, well she's so much fun. I knew it the second she got out of the car and had her hair streaked pink. How much fun is that? She's truly her own person and I LOVE that. The kids were awesome too, throwing in their own ideas for poses which we definitely used. And to top it off it was Michael and Leslie's Anniversary and poor Mike didn't even get supper before they headed out here. Thanks so much guys for coming out and being so great to work with. Here are a few images from last night.

Totally loved Leslie's green jacket. I kept teasing her that it was going to disappear. I was sad when she remembered to take it home, lol.

These next few shots are in honor of Mike and Leslie's Anniversary. They are similar to some wedding day photos that they have.

I just love this shot. Michael can make Leslie laugh so easily. Isn't that what life is all about?!?

If you have been here for photos or just follow my blog you've probably seen our family cat "Boots" in some of the images. He's so nosey and always has to come and check things out. Sam is so sweet and I think animals are automatically drawn to her.

Lane is such a great kid. You can tell he's going to be just like his dad. Really tall and really easy going!

Look at Samantha's Blue eyes. Are you kidding me. So jealous.

And I have saved the best for last. This shot was all Sam and Lane's doing. Their ideas totally and I think its great! Way to go guys!

Baby Kayden & Family

August 27, 2009

| Children | Family | Newborns

This afternoon I headed out to Max & Janelle's to meet their new little boy and is he ever adorable. I always want to take these newborns home with me but somehow mom and dad never want to do that. I'm not sure why, lol? Anyway, Mr. K didn't want to sleep for us in the beginning but mom and I tag teamed it and got him all settled in. After that, everything went really well. Here are a few shots from the afternoon. I love the way that Max & Janelle have their house decorated. It has such a western flair and so we used a lot of their own things in the photos. I will explain as we go, lol.

These first shots were done on a small cowhide that they have. Love It!!

This next one he even gave us a smile. My Grama always used to say that meant they were dreaming of angels.

Mom has a definite love of horses so these next few shots have some of her horse collections in them.

Mom and Dad have some pretty talented artist friends so we decided to incorporate some things into the images.

Okay these next shots are my favorites. Mom was a rodeo princess and so we decided to use her saddle that she won. I absolutely love these and baby curled up just perfectly!!

Love this next shot with baby K on the counter.

Love this image with Grampa's toy tractor and love that I can see babies reflection in the table.

We also used Grama's rocking chair when she was little. Love it!

And finally we are ending with a shot of mom, dad and baby that is so sweet as well as a couple of Miss J. She's just over a year and quite a busy young lady already. It was hard to get her sitting still enough and looking at the camera long enough but I captured this one and think she looks adorable.

Jody & Glen - Maternity/Family

August 26, 2009

| Children | Family | Maternity

Last night the Hyndman family came to visit me again. I can't believe how big the girls are getting and mom and dad have a new addition arriving in about 8 weeks. I am sorry but its sick how good Jody looks at 32 weeks. She doesn't even have one stretch mark to Photoshop out, lol. Sorry Jody but that must be a first. Anyway, while the girls were napping we got some photos of just Jody & Glen and then added these two red headed little cherubs in later. They are so adorable and photogenique. Here are a few pix from the session. Hope you enjoy.

Lovin these first few snuggly pix of Jody and Glen.

The girls have woken up and its time for some family photos.

How adorable is mom's little one. I think I might have just fed her a gummy. That made her smile.

The girls liked Peek a Boo through the old truck window.

Now on to some shots of just the girls. There are a few that are repeats with just a different technique applied to them but loved them all so I am posting them all.

Adorable!

SOOC!

Technique #1

Technique #2

Now for some just of Jody. I can't believe that she is 32 weeks pregnant. She's so beautiful.

I love this one of Jody with her hands on her knees. She looks so at peace. Perfect photo for the nursery.

For the last one, thought I'd end with the silouette. Love it.

The McCall Family

August 12, 2009

| Children | Family | Lifestyle

This afternoon I headed to a farm south of Wolseley to meet with the wonderful McCall Family. Unfortunately there were a few important people still missing from these family photos but son, Ian and his wife and daughter were home from England so it was time to get those grandkids together and take some photos at Grampa's original homestead. It was a little tricky off the start with one very shy British girl but she was so adorable and before we knew it, she started to follow suit with the rest of the kids and did a great job. Plus she had the most adorable accent, lol. Anyway, thanks so much everyone for making the trek out from the city and for putting up with the mosquitos. Here's a few shots from the day.
Enjoy!!

I'm starting with a shot I love of everyone in front of Grampa's homestead. It sure was a great old house and the kids told stories about Grampa shingling the roof when they were little and scaring them to death when he fell off.

Grampa is definitely very proud of his grandchildren!!

The kids are slowly starting to warm up. I love this shot with the flowers. Getting kids involved in an activity always helps get a great shot.

And just for fun, a little peak-a-boo through the flowers.

The shy "Miss L" suddenly not so shy and totally fine with a photo just of her. She even struck a little pose. How adorable is she?!?

Anyone that knows me knows I love an old house and this one was no different. Look at the great blue colors and the fantastic wallpaper. I just love the vintage feel of this photo and the next few coming up.

Brothers. Love, love, love this serious shot of the boys! They were so sweet I could have easily taken them home.

Miss M is such a great kid and always had a smile on her face. I had to force her to not smile in this shot but I love it!

Okay, I know I keep using the word love tonight but I totally love this group shot. The light is just so pretty.

And here's the lady that organized this whole thing and her boys. Its too bad that dad had to work but now he will have a great shot of his family for his desk. Carla was super nice. I liked her right off the bat and know if she was living out here we'd definitely be grabbing a coffee now and then. Thanks for getting everything together Carla. :)

Cousins!

Snuggling with Grampa.

I just had to throw this shot in. Sometimes in order to get the shot you want, you have to let the kids have a little fun. Isn't that what its all about anyway? We even got Grampa involved in this one. Too funny.

I don't even think anyone knows about this last shot. It was actually one of the first shots I took when everyone was surveying the yard with Grampa in the lead. It just seems so natural. Thanks again everyone for the great time.

The Sefton Family

July 13, 2009

| Children | Family

This evening the Sefton's made the complicated trek out to my place as my road is now under construction. Wow, its going to be a long summer till that is done. I have taken photos of the kids before but never the whole family. The weather wasn't the best but at least it was dry and they were all so great to work with. Mom and dad looked great and the kids were so adorable. I have learned that working with children should not be this rigid event. It should be fun. It should be play time. That's when you get the great results like tonight. Thanks for all your efforts everyone. Enjoy this small selection of images.

One last comment about this last image at the end of the blog post. I am sorry Erin but its just not fair that you look so amazing when you are chasing after two small kids. Gorgeous :)

I'm Back!

July 9, 2009

| Children | Family | Personal

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd do up a quick post to let you know that I am back from my "mini vacation". I have decided that if anyone is ever in a drought situation, all they have to do is contact me and have me come visit for a few days. Guaranteed that the rains will come with me, lol. But none the less it was a nice few days off, especially after just wrapping up grad season. Now its time to get caught up on that editing. That is, between the upcoming weddings, engagement shoots and family sessions. So anyway, just thought I'd let you know that I am back and that I will be getting in touch with all of you who are waiting for edits. Thanks for your patience everyone. It seems that the "shooting" season is so short and so many people to squeeze in. Now because every post is better with an image, here's a few from my time at Greenwater. I am afraid that between the rain, etc, I didn't really have my camera out all that much. I totally missed getting photos of my sweet Awien and Marley. Sorry girls. I will get you next time. For now here's a few of our little man Kobe. Well, not my little man. Rory's daughters little man so very unofficially I am Grama and I love it.

Okay, I know I am probably a bit impartial but isn't he just the most adorable little boy? I mean come on. I just love these two images of Kobe and his mommy.

I have many wonderful nieces and nephews but I just had to post a few photos of my sweet little niece Halle that has come to visit again for the summer. Her and her sister make the rounds to all the Grama's and Auntie's houses and we all love them. I wasn't fortunate enough to catch a photo of Autum but I guess she is 13 and more interested in other things than me and my camera, lol. Anyway, here's a couple pix of Halle and the neighbors new adorable puppy.
