Pet Photos with Santa at the Edmonton Humane Society Dec 8-9!

I'm very excited for next week as Teagan Photography will snapping photos at the Edmonton Humane Society during their annual Pet Photos with Santa fundraiser. Mark your calendars and bring your pets to sit on Santa's knee at the shelter on December 8 and 9 from 3:00 - 6:30 p.m. each day. Photos will cost $15.00 for a print or $25.00 for a print and a e-mailed digital copy. All proceeds will go to support the care of the animals at the shelter throughout the year. And Santa is equal opportunity -- so pets of all types, whether furry or scaly, are welcome.

If you can't make next week's dates at the shelter, there are other locations and dates around the city before Christmas.

Baby Zak - Sherwood Park Baby Photography

This sweet little guy belongs to Kelly. I have been eagerly awaiting his arrival (of course not nearly as much as his parents) when I did Kelly's maternity photos a few months ago. When I arrived at their house yesterday, I was suprised at his tiny size. My baby is a year old now and I guess I had forgotten how small newborns are. Zak was a great little model, even though he wasn't too interested in sleeping until the very end.

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)!

ACTSS Halloween Extravaganza - Edmonton Pet Photography

I had the pleasure of photographing the Animal Cancer Therapy Subsidization Society's annual Halloween Extravaganza last weekend. This is ACTSS's primary fundraiser of the year and it was a lot of fun! The family event is a banquet, silent & live auction, and human & pet costume contests. Of course the evening highlight is the pet costume portion! Some pets were more willing than others to strut their stuff on the catwalk! Thanks for a great night.

Edmonton Humane Society - Edmonton Pet Photography

I thought I should post some of the photos I have taken at the Edmonton Humane Society over the past month. I recently joined two talented people (Erik Hornung and Byron Wong) on the EHS's photography team. The EHS is my favorite charity (my dog Shadow is an alumni) and I am very happy to volunteer my camera to take pictures of the adoptable pets.  I had a "cat day" at the shelter yesterday. The EHS is currently at capacity for cats and would love to adopt them out to good families.

These are the pets from my first shoot at the shelter at the beginning of October.  The dogs have been adopted, but the cats are still waiting for their new homes. So if you are thinking of getting a new pet, there are many wonderful animals waiting!

Kelly - Sherwood Park Maternity Photography

Meet a beautiful mom-to-be! Kelly and her husband Preston are expecting their second little bundle in a few weeks and wanted to capture some family moments. They were a lot of fun to photograph. I asked "how about some pictures in a tree?"  So she and her little boy climbed right up there! And he did what two year olds do best...make a funny face. I'll can't wait to meet your baby next month!

George - Edmonton Child Photography

George just melts my heart! I was excited and honoured that this little guy's mom asked me to take his one year old photos. I'll be honest, I was quite nervous because George's mom and I are friends and in the same mothers group. I was worried if she didn't like the photos, then I might get kicked out of the group. Ha ha! We took advantage of this week's gorgeous weather to spend a few hours at the Laurier Dog Park with George's parents and best buddy, Slick.

Baby Hailey - Edmonton Newborn Photography

Here are some more pictures from the photo shoot with baby Hailey. Hope you like them Jen!

Baby Hailey - Sneak Peek - Edmonton Newborn Photography

I am supposed to be packing, as my family is off for our last holiday before my maternity leave ends - but I couldn't help posting one photo of this tiny girl before I leave.

Baby Hadrian - Edmonton Baby Photography

This is my little nephew Hadrian, visiting from the west coast. He is 6 months old and I just love him to bits! I haven't seen him since before I got my new camera, so I was dying to take some pictures of him. He loves to smile for the camera (or his mommy who was often standing behind me). Ha ha!
