Valentine’s Day, the Sequel.

admin — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:26:41 +0000

As promised, here are the rest of the images from the little mini-shoot the kids and I had yesterday for Valentine’s Day. It was the after nap time slot, and so a bit hit or miss as far as attitudes are concerned, plus we’d already had a fairly busy day… but they really seemed to enjoy both the confetti I packed into the (otherwise empty) little candy box and the occasional motivational Teddy Graham. Though I’m afraid at some point Violet started eating the confetti as well as the grahams.

On a side note, my bedroom is still littered with heart confetti. It’s very festive.

Hope you all took advantage of February’s lesser known holiday that took place today- I am, of course, talking about Half-Price Candy Day. A very joyous sugar shock to you all!

Heart.

The girlies and I had a little mini photo shoot this afternoon after naps. And of course it was Valentine’s day themed.

Then I found out they were doing “Hearts” as the theme over at iheartfaces. Done and done.

I have a bunch more, but since I can only submit an entry that has a single photo, this is all you get for now. I’ll have to do a second post with the rest. Happy Valentine’s Day, all!

By the Book.

When I saw that this week’s theme over at iheartfaces was “By the Book”, I knew I had to submit an entry. I love reading. I love it so much. I stay up until ungodly hours of the night to finish a book. I seriously went through like 6 books while on vacation last month. I do everything I can to foster that love of reading in my children. It was difficult for me to decide on a reading-related image to submit, but in the end I decided to go with this one, from our last indoor camping “trip”. Reading with Daddy and setting up tents in their room- a few of my kiddos’ favorite things.

Out of Town.

We spent the Christmas break with family in Idaho. It was lovely to get a little break from our oh-so-pleasant (ha ha) Edmonton winter. The majority of the visit was spent lounging on couches, eating Christmas cookies, and playing with new toys with the kiddos.

But a little piece of the visit was spent with these great (and an incredibly cool) friends . These crazy kids (the grown-up ones, that is) just recently got engaged, and wanted some pics of their awesome newly blended family. So we did a little mini-shoot (followed, of course, by a pizza party!) and had some fun. Here are a few of my favorites. Love you guys!

I mean, how can you NOT love an entire family in Chucks?

Spent a beautiful evening with this lovely family. Such cutie girls, who cooperated even as the temperature fell with the sun…

Had so much fun with you guys! See you at a playdate real soon!

Let Them Be Little.

Time for another photo contest at iheartfaces! This week’s the theme is “Let Them Be Little” and I thought this shot of my daughter and my godson would be appropriate.

At what point does it become unacceptable to eat like this? To get so ridiculously covered in ice cream and jimmies that the only way to get clean again is for somebody to strip you down to your birthday suit and wash you off at a spigot on the side of a barn?

Seriously. We did that. They were so sticky!

Raise Your Hands.

Photo contest time over at iheartfaces! This week’s theme is “Raise Your Hands”, and when I saw that, this image from the other day immediately came to mind.

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes…

Great. Now that song will be stuck in my head all night. Coincidentally, that is my girlie’s favorite song. She thinks it goes “I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, sayin’ ‘Hey, yo, I got your eggo…’” We listen to a lot of radio on the car.

Just can’t get enough of these newborns. Little Mr. Jacob was born back in July, he was just over two weeks old when we had our session. Mr. Man wanted to just snack and snack and really didn’t want to fall asleep for us, but that was okay. That just gave his mama and I more time to sit and chat over coffee. Flexibility is the name of the game when it comes to photographing newborns!

Thanks again for inviting me in to your home to spend some time with you and your little dude. I can’t wait for our next session, hopefully big sis will join in on the fun next time!

Mini-sessions. {Edmonton Children’s Photographer}

Hey everybody. I’ve decided that I need to throw myself a little “Welcome to Canada” party. And I could not think of a better way to do that than to entice you with some delicious mini-sessions. What is a mini-session, you may be asking? Why, read on and you shall find out!

A mini-session is just that. A tiny little photo session with all the flavour and only half the calories. It’s bite-sized!

Okay, now I just want some chocolate. Mmmmmm milky ways…. what was I talking about?

Right. Mini-sessions.

If you were waiting for a reason to give me a shot, here’s your reason, darling. Still have questions? Let me know!

It’s official! I’m back, baby!

The First Official Canadian Shoot has happened, and a lovelier baby I don’t think I could have found. He was so agreeable and snuggly… and his big sister was quite obviously thrilled to have a real life dolly to sing Twinkle Twinkle to. Thanks again you guys, for letting me come play with you all! Can’t wait to see the little boy Shane will grow into.

And this call goes out to all you Edmontonians- I’m now open for business! Tell your neighbors (that’s neighbours now, I guess), friends, relatives, lawn guy’s sister who just had a baby, tell everybody! I’m looking for the cutest kids in Edmonton. Let’s capture some memories.

More pictures of Shane after the jump!
