Corbin | Baby’s First Birthday

Lisa — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:05:14 +0000

Just over a year ago, I did some maternity photos for Alexis and Blaine. I was thrilled to be invited back to shoot their baby Corbin’s first birthday! We were lucky to have a sunny and warm day in their back yard, with lots of little ones. One year olds are SO CUTE. Corbin is car crazy, so the theme was adorably all race-car themed. Stop lights and flags, and even a race car cake! It was great.

It’s funny, some babies will dig right into their cake, spreading icing and crumbs everywhere. Corbin was careful, looking around as if he should be touching it! With some encouragement from mom, dad, and grandma, he munched away with more enthusiasm.

Aaand, we have the attempt at a group shot. One of the newborns started crying, and it was a domino effect from there, on the kids who had been hauled to sit somewhere, suddenly, where there were no toys or food!

Thanks for letting me share in such a special event, your DVD of images will be coming soon.

Yesterday afternoon I had a fun session with this family of three. We tried to get the dog in there for a number of the portraits, but he wasn’t cooperating! Baby Kaelyn, however, was all smiles and so patient for the photo-taking process. I probably shouldn’t say this, but it makes my job very easy to capture images of an adorable, smiling baby. Shhh!

Here is a sneak peek of a few images from our session…

I thought this ruffled diaper cover was the cutest thing. Ruffles are fabulous on a girl of any age!

Thank you for allowing me into your home to hang around and photograph you, it was a pleasure! Images on disc to come soon…

Here’s a very small sneak peek from a baby/family session recently. I shot Stacey & Trevor’s lovely wedding a couple of years ago, and now they have a little one. Baby Gwen is three months old and has adorable red hair and big blue eyes! Super cutie, see?

It was great to see them both again and meet the new addition to the family — I really have the very best clients!

One of my recent sessions was with an adorable little girl, on her first birthday! Outfit changes, cake on the face, this is a one-hour session that had it all. Here are a few sneak peeks for you guys, disc coming soon!

What a great day it was in Calgary today… windy, but the sun was so bright and we had wonderful, fluffy clouds floating across the sky. Yesterday was the first day of spring, which is my favourite season. Although I say that about fall when it comes around too, it’s kind of a toss-up between the two, for which I like best. This beautiful afternoon I had the pleasure of a session with a baby who was all smiles. What a happy little guy! Here’s a sneak peek of some of the photos…

Thank you all for inviting me into your home, and a super fun session!

Baby Kaleb – Calgary Family Photographer

Yesterday I did a fun family session, which was with mom, dad, and three-month-old Kaleb. The Calgary weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t get a chance to get everyone outside, unfortunately. At least there was lots of lovely bright morning light inside where it was warm. Here are a few, and there are even more on the Facebook page.

He’s such a cute little guy!

It was nice to get a chance to get some couple photos in with mom and dad once Kaleb went down for a nap, too…

Thank you guys for a lovely morning, your disc will be sent out later this week!

Laura & Kyle Family Portrait Session

Lisa — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:55:52 +0000

This was my last portrait session of the year (well, almost, we’re sneaking one engagement session in later this month!). It’s a challenge in Calgary because once the frost hits, all of the plants die and everything turns the same greyish, brownish, non-colour. The grass dies, the leaves shrivel on the trees, and it only gets dustier and more grey as the winter progresses. Sigh! But we braved the park last weekend for these family portraits — it was chilly and windy but at least the sun was shining and the air was fresh. Here’s the sneak peek:

Someone, at some point, had built a cool little lean-to fort thing by the creek, I’m not sure when… but couldn’t resist using it in some photos.

You can tell in this one that baby got his mom’s beautiful blue eyes:

Thank you guys so much for a great session and for being so brave in the weather. Your little one was so well-behaved for his age and the cold weather!

I’ll be away this weekend, I’m jaunting off to Vancouver for a few days on Thursday evening, but will get back to photo processing and replying to inquiries when I get back.

Diane & Shawn’s Family

Lisa — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:12:21 +0000

Over the last several months, I have been privileged to do three separate shoots for the same family: Diane’s maternity shots, newborn photos of Poet, and last weekend, a family session with the entire group. It was a unique opportunity to really have everyone get very comfortable with me, and to get used to seeing my camera clicking away.

I am still working on the photos from our last shoot, but here’s a few of them as (yet another) sneak peek:

We were lucky to get one of the last nice days of the year, it felt almost like summertime! It was a session that highlighted what a challenge it can be to be so cruel as to bring kids to the park on a nice day, and instead of being able to run around, some lady with a camera starts telling them to stand in one spot and look at her. The nerve of grown-ups! But seriously, thank you all so much for letting me into your home and to be able to spend time with you to capture your portraits.
