Richardson Family -- Edmonton Family Photography

For the last several weeks anytime I have driven out on the rural roads near my house, I have passed field after field of canola, -- and I thought it would be a great place for some photos.  So when the Richardson's asked me to take some family photos for their daughter's upcoming second birthday, I proposed doing some of them in the colourful fields before all the blooms are gone. One thing I didn't think about was potential pollen allergies. Whoops! Mr. R and myself are apparently allergic to canola! It was all good, though.

Baby Zoe - Edmonton Newborn Photography

This little angel is just over a week old and she already has daddy wrapped around her finger. When I arrived at baby Zoe's house, she was fast asleep curled up in daddy's arms.  I said a silent "awww" in my head. It reminded me of my husband and our daughter and their immediate bond during her first week of life. He is still her favorite person in the world!

Zoe was such a good little model for me! I was warned that she doesn't like to be on her stomach, but she didn't give me any trouble. A super soft blanket does wonders. Thanks to Zoe's parents for letting me come capture some first week memories!

Woods Family - Edmonton Family Photography

Here are a few more shots from last week's family session with the Woods family....on the one day of nice weather Edmonton had. Little George's grandparents were visiting from the East Coast and they wanted to get together for some photos. We met at this great playground in the Parkview neighbourhood for a few hours. George wasn't too impressed that we made him wait to get the group photos done before he could play on the slides, as shown in his face in the second photo. And I think Slick (the dog) was staring down a nearby wild rabbit. They are a good looking group!

I love this expression -- it's classic George! I think someone (either Grandpa or Dad) was threatening he'd get tickled unless he started smiling. Sort of worked ;)

A quick little teaser of a family session I did this week.....

Baby Everett - Edmonton Newborn Photography

This little guy was so fun to photograph and he was my first session back after a self-imposed  two month  break. I might as well out myself .....I am pregnant with our second child, and I have been VERY sick with this one. The official term is Hyperemsis Gravidarum and it's pretty awful. I literally didn't take a single picture of anything all last month! But I am doing much better and have been able to return to work, starting with Baby Everett.  So enough about me!

I forgot how tiny newborns are! Everett was so sweet. He was such a quiet little baby and has the cutest  pouty bottom lip! While I was editing these photos, my 19-month-old would point at the screen  and say "baby" and "nigh night". It was cute.

I love the little smile in the first photo. Wonder what he's dreaming about?

Halloween Playdate - Edmonton Child Photography

A few of the moms from my mother's group got together yesterday for a Halloween playdate. We don't see each other as much anymore as our maternity leave is over and most of us have gone back to work.  But we still try to find the time for playdates as much as possible, and Halloween seemed like the perfect opportunity since it was on a weekend. And this Halloween was extra special as it was the first time any costume would actually fit our babies. They sure looked cute  (The tiger belongs to me)!

Davies Family - Spruce Grove Family Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing the Davies family...and all their children and grandchildren....who had come together from across the country & the States for a special family event. The patriach and matriach have two beautiful apple trees in their front yard and they requested photos of their beautiful family in front of them.

These are all of the grandchildren from oldest to youngest...all twelve of them!

Flewwelling Kids - Edmonton Child Photography

I love Hawrelak Park and I love to take pictures there. Throw in an adorable family and voila! I had fun with these cuties as they climbed the boulders & trees and chased geese & ducks. And I learned a few things about the attention spans of children and photo shoots. Ha ha!

Lucy - Onoway Baby Photography

I had the chance to spend a few hours with this little beauty who was visiting with her family all the way from Ohio. She was such a busy girl -- already walking at 10 months old! And of course I can't forget to comment on her stunning eyes. It was a lot of fun taking her pictures and hope she visits again soon.
