I had to entitle the name of this blog post “Little Miss O”. I can’t tell you how many pictures of have of this adorable little girl with her mouth shaped into a perfect ‘o’. I had to put together a collection of my favourites as we giggled so much about it during her shoot. We did the whole shoot at Grandma’s place… she has a gorgeous backyard complete with gardens and waterfalls, plants and flowers, benches and gravel. A morning with this little sweetie would make anyone’s day!!!
It was a very very blah day out weather-wise, completely gray and overcast when I made my way over to my morning shoot this day. As soon as this client opened the doors to their home, my day brightened up. oooh, those baby blue eyes that greeted me! This 12 week old just made my heart melt the first moment I saw him — and for many moments afterwards. I mean, just look at his beautiful blue eyes!! He is such a gorgeous little guy … not surprising in the slightest considering his mom and dad are pretty darn beautiful themselves. I love his blue eyes, but a lot of these images were calling out for black and white. Thank you for such a lovely morning!
I soooo loved this family. An amazing level of comfort right from the moment they first called and when I stepped through their door. Dad told me he took pictures of the Visual Hues canvases up in the Foothills hospital with his phone so he could call me when they got home! Love it!
For this shoot, I wanted to highlight an idea for a wall collection, because I just love this combination of images so much. I love the long and narrow feature piece and then all the sweet images of this beautiful brand new little girl. Would this just not look soooo striking up in their home?!?
I took photos of Big Brother a couple years ago and was so happy to see this sweet family again. For big brother’s photos, we hardly got any of him sleeping… with this little guy we hardly got any of him awake!!
This little one is just sweetness through and through! She is one of those babies you just want to go up to and say…. oooooooooh my goodness, you are such a cutie!!! I think I did that about thirty times during our shoot!!
I played around a little bit with the last image of sweet baby with her daddy.. having some fun with textures… let me know what you think!!
This sweetheart was just all smiles!!! This stage of a baby’s first year is a treasure to photograph. They give gorgeous smiles, have so many expressions, can sit and push themselves up and have that wonderful baby posture we love. What a pleasure to photograph this 6 month old – she had me giggling the whole session through!
Oh, I just loved this little boy. Such a sweet disposition and sweet smiles. I love his toes sticking out, his baby finger pressed against his index finger and his ridiculously precious expression on his face while being held by dad. I’m sure I’ve never seen a dad so excited about a photo shoot before. He was so into it and so wished for an image with his jerseys so the last image is for him and his sports addicted family!!
Here’s some photos to remember what Calgary was like before all this May snow on the ground!! What a treat to see this family again. We have gotten to know each other through an engagement shoot, wedding photos and newborn photos. This little girl is one of the sweet babies that now have their images up at the Foothills hospital Labour and delivery floor. She is now one year older and Mom and Dad told me she has gone for three haircuts already!
She was just so pleased with herself sitting up on this bench, I had to include this first image. And I just love her two bottom teeth!
It’s always fun to go to clients houses and bring their own loves (in addition to their family!!) into their shoot. Dad is a big mountain climber and suggested incorporating his ropes and jacket into the shoot. I think she looks as sweet as can be and will be out on the mountains with her mom and dad before they know it!!
One more precious newborn to celebrate! She was the sweetest little baby to photograph — I don’t think there was one complaint from her. Of course, the moment I saw her I knew we had to highlight her amazing head of hair and super long eyelashes! I’m sure her lashes at 8 days are longer than mine at errrrrrrrr years. I also love how we were able to incorporate Mom’s love of animal prints into one of the images and they’ll see some more smiles when they get their full gallery.
