Well today was just a blast.  That's the first thing that comes to mind.  That and the fact that I was amazed this beautiful young girl was coming all the way from High River Alberta.  With a love for the farm, old buildings, old trucks and photography, I was pretty sure we would hit it off right away and I was right.  Kelsie is just an absolute sweet heart and she totally rocked her photos.  Thanks for being so great to work with Kelsie and a special thanks to Sara for helping out all afternoon.

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.

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!!

Well this is a bit different but I am actually going to post some photos taken of me instead of taken by me, lol.  This winter, Rory and I were very lucky to travel to Honolulu, Hawaii for vacation.  Before we left, I did a bit of research and found an amazing photographer there named Christie Pham.  I loved her style so booked a session for the two of us.  You know how the mechanic drives the broken down car.....well, the photographer has no photos of herself, lol.
Anyway, I am so glad that we did this.  We spent a great afternoon with Christie and her boyfriend/assistant Matt and made some wonderful new friends.  On top of it, we got some amazing photos that we can hang on to forever.  Its funny how even a photographer can forget the importance of documenting our lives and the wonderful people in them.  I am attaching a few of my favorite images from the day.  I hope you enjoy them :)
Sorry for the size of them but that's all I have right now.  The full res images will be a bit yet but was too excited to not share them right away.

Last night I had so much fun with my niece, her hubby and their first baby, puppy Pebbles.  But very soon, one week to be exact, a new first baby is coming into their family.  A real baby, that up until now has been lovingly called "Eggbert", lol.  Here are a few images from their maternity session and since this special little one is due within a week, you won't have to wait very long for newborn photos.  Hope you enjoy!

IMG_1164b.jpgLook at Pebbles being such a good girl for mom :)

IMG_1186.jpg
IMG_1301.jpgI love this shot of Becky!!

IMG_1193b.jpg
And this one.....

IMG_1197b.jpg
And of course a little bit of John Deere attire.  What baby's wardrobe would be complete without it :)

Mom and her two babies.

And finally a special shot of Pebbles and her friend Pooh!  Thanks to my assistant Terry for all his help getting her attention, lol.  Great job Terry.

I was so excited today waiting for Mike and Jen to come for their engagement session.  Michael is my very handsome nephew and Jen is his beautiful fiance'.  They have had this session booked for so long, so I was glad that by the time it finally got here, we had some decent weather.  It wasn't a bad day but was incredibly windy so we headed to the valley to do these shots as the wind is just never as bad down there.  Here are a few selections from the day.  Before I get started though, I do have to mention how excited our whole family was when Michael "finally" proposed to Jen.  We have considered her part of the family since the first time he brought her home.  She is the kindest, sweetest most talented girl.  She is beautiful inside and out and we couldn't have picked anyone better for Michael if we tried ourselves.  We love you Jen.  Welcome to the family. :)

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.

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!

A few weeks ago The Beck Kids and their significant others came out for a surprise shoot to be saved for a Christmas gift for their parents.  It was a little promo I was running.  However, someone, not mentioning any names (Lateesh, lol) accidentally spilled the beans and so now its okay to blog some of those shots.  Oh well Lateesha, there's some great shots in here so I probably would have gone crazy waiting till after Christmas to blog them anyway, lol.  Now you can let mom and dad pick their own images for their gifts and maybe you'll have to get them something else too which works out well for them :)  So this post will start out with brother and sister together, then each of the kids with their "S.O's" and then all four of them together.  I used a few different textures on here than you are used to seeing just to try something different.  Enjoy!

Well this Engagement Session was Saskatchewan meets Africa and it was a blast.  Mark is a small town Saskatchewan boy who fell in love with an absolutely beautiful girl from Ghana with a killer smile.  They made the trek out from Regina last week for their engagement session.  That was before the weather turned on us.  Thank goodness.  This couple is truly so wonderful.  They had me wrapped around their little fingers in no time.  The little fingers that are attached to their 6'2" frames anyway, lol.  Boy they sure are tall.  I am so jealous.  Anyway, I tried to bring in different parts of this wonderful prairie of ours.  The grasses, some old cars and buildings and of coarse the valley on a beautiful fall day.  Then you add in their awesome personalities and some great handmade African outfits and well, it was just perfect.  Oh and to top it off, I was feeling kind of quirky that day,  a little Tyra Bank'ish, lol, so I incorporated a couple of apples into the shots.  I'm not sure why.  Maybe it was the whole "fall harvest feeling" that was going on but Mark and Phoebe were game for anything so we had a little fun.  You will know what I'm talking about when you see the images.  Thanks again you guys.  It was truly a blast working with you and hope to do so again in the future.  Best of luck on your African wedding.  I know it will be beautiful.

I love this last image of Mark and Phoebe goofing around :)

Today Tim & Chantelle stopped in for their engagement session.  I have been looking forward to this for a while now and it was so great to spend time with both of them.  After tonight I am definitely looking forward to their wedding next year.  They were so great to work with.  Very much "themselves" which isn't always an easy thing to do when someone is waving a camera in your face.  Thanks for putting up with me dragging you all over.  I hope you enjoy your pictures and can't wait to work with you guys again!!  :)

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?!?

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.

IMG_0225-2.jpgThese next few shots are in honor of Mike and Leslie's Anniversary.  They are similar to some wedding day photos that they have.

IMG_0263.jpg

IMG_0254.jpgI just love this shot.  Michael can make Leslie laugh so easily.  Isn't that what life is all about?!?

IMG_0279.jpgIf 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.

IMG_0334.jpg
IMG_0275.jpgLane is such a great kid.  You can tell he's going to be just like his dad.  Really tall and really easy going!

IMG_0320.jpg
Look at Samantha's Blue eyes.  Are you kidding me.  So jealous.

IMG_0348.jpgAnd 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!

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!!


IMG_5052.jpgI'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.
IMG_5076.jpg
IMG_5085.jpg
Grampa is definitely very proud of his grandchildren!!

IMG_5014.jpgThe 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.

IMG_5032.jpgAnd just for fun, a little peak-a-boo through the flowers.

IMG_5092.jpgThe 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?!?

IMG_5104.jpgAnyone 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.

IMG_5111.jpgBrothers.  Love, love, love this serious shot of the boys! They were so sweet I could have easily taken them home.

IMG_5119.jpgMiss 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!

IMG_5132.jpgOkay, I know I keep using the word love tonight but I totally love this group shot.  The light is just so pretty.

IMG_5135.jpgAnd 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. :)

IMG_5223.jpgCousins!

IMG_5251.jpgSnuggling with Grampa.

IMG_5260.jpgI 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.

IMG_5170.jpgI 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.

Well this was my second Family Session of the week.  Would have been the 3rd if the rain would just stay away.  So for this shoot Niki & I headed just outside Melville to the Miller Ranch.  Wow, what a beautiful yard, farm and family.  It was very obvious what a hard working, fun loving family this was.  Niki & I both felt so welcome.  They were such a great bunch to work with which is why we took probably way longer than we should have.  Sorry if we delayed your supper everyone. :)  Now on to uploading some of my favorite images.  Seriously, I don't know how I will choose so this could be a long one.



PS:  Could these kids be any cuter.  I could have taken every single one of them home.

Allysen and Jarred made the trek out from Regina this evening for the engagement photos.  I met them back in the spring when they booked their wedding with me and I have been excited to shoot their photos ever since.  They are so sweet and genuine, so I knew that we would have a good time and I was right.  They did absolutely everything I asked of them, even in 3 inch heels (that was Allysen if you hadn't guessed, lol) and with the mosquito's constantly on the attack.  And did I mention those 3 inch heels were a fabulous purple!!!  Gosh I love a pretty shoe. Anyway, I took them to another new location that I scouted out this afternoon and it was definitely unique.  Again, you gotta love a girl that tramps through grass up to her waist in a pasture that was previously inhabited by some four legged creatures that go "moo" and tend to leave some things behind.  She never missed a beat.  Of coarse she had Jarred guiding her around and me for that matter too as I almost got my precious car hung up in a rut.  Yikes. Thanks Jarred.  Well, it was all worth it as you will see.  Thanks again you guys for doing such an awesome job.  I look forward to seeing you at that wedding next weekend and then again next year for your own.

This afternoon Chris and Rita made the drive from Broadview carrying some pretty special cargo in the back of their truck.  Harley....and she was a sweet ride.  Chris obviously has two loves.  Rita and Harley, lol.  But Rita definitely comes first.  Well, we all had a great time today shooting in a nice new location I scouted out earlier in the day.  They both did a fantastic job.  They were willing to go where ever I suggested but I have to give special prop's to Chris for being the big tough guy we needed at times.  He helped us in and out of locations that we couldn't manage on our own.  Rita because she's tiny.  Me, well because, let's just say it....I'm old, lol. He also had to move that bike around which I didn't think would be a big deal but apparently Harley's don't have reverse.  Really, why wouldn't they have reverse.  Some photographer might want them to be moved over just a foot or two and backed up a hill, lol.  Really.  And on top of it he was tipping old trucks.  Is that something like cow tipping, lol.  Anyway, he did a great job so thanks again and enjoy this selection of images.

Tonight I had the great pleasure of shooting the photos of this lovely couple, for the second time.  I shot their wedding 3 years ago on a very windy Saskatchewan afternoon.  Now, tonight, I got to capture how beautiful Melissa looked at another special time in her life.  Pregnant.  Only 6 weeks to go which is crazy cause she looks absolutely stunning.  And Ryan, you didn't look so bad yourself, lol.  Thanks for being so helpful and doing all the running.  Seriously you guys, I am so happy for you.  Just thinking about all the exciting firsts that are about to come into your lives makes me smile and I absolutely can't wait to meet your special little man.  Its great to see you anxiously awaiting his arrival and like I said Melissa, I am so happy you are celebrating this time with photos.  These are wonderful memories you are making and the photos will mark this special time for you.  See you all in 6 weeks.

Tina & Curtis were out for her brother's grad the other day so decided to have a quick little mini session. I really like how their photos turned out. What would they do with a whole hour, lol? Anyway, I was booked when they got married 3 years ago so it was nice to get a chance to work with them. Even though "the birds" seem to know when someone is in the yard that is afraid of them, right Tina, lol? Thanks for braving the wilderness with me. Here's a few of the shots.
