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!

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

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 :)
