So how many families can I just meet and totally love??? The list keeps growing and this family is no exception! Such sweet girls (and Dad, you are cool, too!) We had a fun time venturing down some back alleys finding some fun spots to photograph and got some super fun results.
Oh my goodness… what a wonderful morning with these three girls in their backyard. Between these three beauties I got big grins, shy smiles and ’philosopher’ looks. Over and over it amazes me how you can get such different personalities between siblings.
Yes, what a gorgeous family. If Mom and Dad think they have their hands full now, wait about a decade!!!
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!!!
Can you say completely, COMPLETELY adorable?!?!? This gorgeous family visited me from Bahamas and it was such an honour to be asked to take their photos while they in Canada for a family reunion. I have photographed their gorgeous cousins and their other gorgeous cousins and so it was a treat to meet others in the family. And kudos to them … they arrived in Calgary late at night and got up to meet me a 9:00 the next morning, with not a hint of grogginess!!! And yes we had ice cream at 10:00 in the morning. One of my favourite images is in the ice cream shoppe — the little girl’s sassiness is to die for!
Hmmmm, wonder if they’d like to have a photo shoot down on home turf one day…….
Adorable face. Adorable curls. Gorgeous eyes. Max is one serious cutie! Watch out though — he has quite the good aim when he has a water hose in his grasp!!
A few weeks ago, there was a post with an extended family shoot in dreamy evening light. Well we went back, this time with morning light! This time it was for the other side of the family, who also happen to be my cousins! Cousins that I don’t see as often as I would like… but it was lots of fun to catch up with everyone again. It was a birthday present for Mom and Grandma… hope you love them, Lynn!
When I first saw these three little ones pop out of their vehicle one by one, I knew we were going to have a magical shoot! The whole family was full of big smiles, lots of giggles and a sense of style that I just loved. The best thing… the kids are just as fun and free-spirited as they are gorgeous.
It’s a big post, I know, but it’s all I could do to narrow it down to these ones!! I’m sure I’ll look back at their gallery tomorrow and wish I would have put some other favourites in!!!
Enjoy your weekend!!! I’ll be back next weekend with the most precious newborn.
Wow!! I was in love with this location where this extended family shoot took place!! Soooo gorgeous … the light, the grass, the barn… I was in picture heaven. I wanted to sun to just stop in its tracks so I could take more photos with the dreamy light, but … it didn’t. Sighhhhh.
Here are a few more images from our beautiful venture out to Longview. I will never tire of the beauty of the area where I grew up; it’s one of my favourite places to take photographs. There is a such a sense of ‘being’ out there… the air, the colours, the quiet! Couple that beauty with these sweethearts and it’s a perfect day!
This week, I realized one of the proudest moments for a parent is when they witness the pride felt by their child. Our little Hailey, on her last day of preschool, with such a proud look on her face. She is accepting ”a star to wish upon, a pillowcase for sweet dreams and a book to always keep learning” that her teacher she adores gave each of the children to congratulate them on their upcoming move to kindergarten.
It was the preschool’s Over the Rainbow ceremony, where the preschool students move from the preschool side of the rainbow to the kindergarten side of the rainbow. We were entertained with lots of singing and dancing to begin the special event and then each of the kids went up on the stage to shake hands and accept their gifts from their teacher.
Sweet Hailey, we couldn’t be more proud. We wish you so many more proud and happy moments… with all our love, Mom and Dad.
