This January I got the opportunity to photograph Colin & Charmaine's wedding. It was a unique experience for me, as I taught both of them in high school, and it was a privilege to witness what mature, incredible, people they continue to be. We started our photoshoot down by the Mendel Art Gallery, and it was a coooooold day (-25 plus windchill) - it felt about -40. They braved the cold, though, and the result was a magical winter wedding background for their formal pictures. From there we headed over to the Agriculture building to take a few indoor family pictures and snapped a few more outside on campus before heading to the Guitar & Amp store on 20th for their formal wedding: store by day and venue by evening. All in all it was a great day and I felt privileged to be part of it.

I got the privilege of meeting Baby Addison a few weeks ago. She was absolutely the sweetest baby. The weather was cooperating and so we headed out to the park to take a few shots. The swing image is a composite - baby safety is always #1 and so Addison never left the ground (2 shots were photoshopped together). A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of photographing Mel & Devon for a baby bump session. We met at River Landing and meandered our way to the boathouse and back. It was the first weekend that Saskatoon was at all "green" this spring. Mel & Devon were so relaxed and fun to work with. I can't wait to be meet baby Drake! Here are some of the highlights from our session. I had a great time photographing Piper & her family for her two year birthday milestone. She has grown up so quickly and it is amazing to see her individual personality at this young age! It was one of those chilly days in April, but everyone toughed it out and we had a great shoot. At the end, Michelle introduced me to this adorable little tea shop by river landing and I got to shoot a few shots of Piper & family indoors. I had such a good time photographing the Bergermann family! I love their choice of outfits - very colour coordinated without being too matchy-matchy. Baby Bruce is not such a baby anymore and he had so much energy! He really liked the balloons I brought, but was a bit skeptical about the cupcake! All in all it was a great shoot and I was so happy the weather cooperated so that we could take a few outdoor shots in the middle of this cold, harsh, winter. When it rains, it pours! I felt so blessed to photograph two newborns over the holidays. I love collaborating with clients when it comes to different poses, props, and set ups, and Mama Hali had lots of great ideas! Once Everett fell into a deep sleep we dressed him up in all kinds of sweet hats and maneuvered him into all kinds of cute, squishy, poses. One of the reasons I love when people choose a baby bump & newborn package is that I get to know the couple before their baby is born. I met Rachel & Bank back in November when I took maternity photos for them. Soon afterwards, baby Moses surprised them by appearing early. I visited Rachel & Bank at their house a couple of weeks ago to photograph baby Moses. He was almost a month old by then! Newborn pictures typically take about three hours because of all the set up and the fact that we proceed at the baby's pace (and baby doesn't always want to sleep). Rachel & Bank made me feel right as home as we waited for Moses to drift off to sleep, making me tea and visiting. Here are some pictures from that day. New Pricing will take effect on January 1st, 2014. If you book your session prior to then, even if it takes place anytime next year, you may do so at 2013 prices. It's also not too late to purchase gift certificates at 2013 prices.
I had a great time photographing Meghan and Dustin. These were "just because" couple photographs, which I thought was a great idea. They asked if we could try a couple different locations to take advantage of the setting sun and I am glad we did - we got the golden glow twice! First at President Murray Park and next at Gabriel Dumont Park, where the sun was finally setting. The river was just starting to ice up and was so scenic. Megan and Dustin were so much fun to work with. This was my first "winter" shoot of the season. Thank goodness it was only -1 (the next day it was closer to -20). I had so much fun with these two. Rachel had said that they really liked photographs sets in nature so I suggested we head over to Furdale Dog Park and take their maternity photos there. I like that location because there is a variety of different backdrops: prairie, woods, and river scenes. These two didn't mind that we had lots of dogs run up to us and say hello, and we provided lots of entertainment for dog walkers! |
