my little guy - Lethbridge baby and child photographer

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 21:09:47 +0000

So I am a little behind in posting this, but I wanted to have images to show along with just the words!

Mason Zachary was born on August 15. He was 8lbs, 13oz (way bigger than I anticipated!) and 20 3/4″. A whole pound and a half bigger than his older brother was, he has already grown out of the newborn clothes I bought him but at least we know he is healthy!

He is a sweet little boy who naps really well for me, which is the only reason I actually have had time to edit these images and get them uploaded! As you can imagine I have taken a lot of photos, but I’ll try to narrow them done to a manageable few to share here. Poor little guy probably thinks there is nothing more to life than photo sessions!

5 days old…

9 days old…

13 days old…

and of course with his big brother…

I can’t resist just one of big bro alone… taken a few days before his second birthday, I can’t believe my baby is 2 already!

baby names

For the past few months my husband and I have been having a hard time choosing a name for our baby, and we only have a couple weeks left! A friend of mine sent me the link to the Service Alberta website, and I am finding it to be very helpful. I love how you can see exactly how many Johns or Janes there were each year for the past 9 years in Alberta. It is really interesting to me how a name that is way far down in popularity on the American websites is in the top 10 for popularity in Alberta, weird!

I figured that since the majority of my blog readers are either expecting parents or parents of young children (who might one day have more) I would share this link. I hope you find it helpful!

Alberta’s Top Baby Names

This little guy was so sweet, he really made me excited to meet my own little one very soon… I thought I’d share a sneak peek for his mom and dad.

I think I caught him pre-sneeze?

I had to try out this hat that I picked up at the birth, belly and baby expo (from Lots of Knots). I don’t have a lot of baby boy hats/props but I thought this one was cute.

and one more… such good eye contact for such a new little guy!

one of my favorite sessions ever - Lethbridge baby photographer

admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:35:25 +0000

This really was one of my favorite sessions ever… who could complain about a perfectly happy baby who was very patient and let her mom and I try on outfit after outfit and prop after prop? Eventually she did tell us that she was done but not before we got an awesome variety of adorable images. I can’t pick a favorite, I really love them all - so this is going to be a big sneak peek…

Her expressions in these last two just crack me up so I had to include them…

Laren just turned 8 months old when we did our session and I have to say it, this is my favorite age (well this and very new newborns). I just LOVE the 7-10 month range; when they are sitting up but not yet walking. In fact I love it so much that I am currently discounting the session fee for this age range, so if you have a baby in this stage don’t hesitate to book an appointment, you will not be disappointed!

cutest bunch of kids ever! - Lethbridge child and family photographer

admin — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 02:40:24 +0000

This is the fourth time I’ve done a session for this family, and they just keep getting cuter! It’s hard to believe that last time I photographed them the littlest guy Max was just a newborn and his sisters were busy preschoolers. Now Max is the (very) busy toddler and his sisters are perfect little models who love letting me take their pictures.

I just LOVE cuddly sibling shots, those are my absolute favorite. I love the connections and the relationships…

I am so pleased with what I got from this session, it was so hard to narrow it down for a sneak peek but I know that Mom is dying to see these so I figured I’d just pick a few and get them online! You would never know from the photos that we were all being eaten alive by mosquitoes - they were absolutely awful! No respect for bug spray!

best week ever - Lethbridge maternity photographer

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:50:19 +0000

I have had the best week as far as sessions go, in fact I am just dying to show off the sneak peeks! I am going to limit myself to one session per post though because it is just more fun that way…

Here are a couple from a recent maternity session… we had so much fun and I have so many favorites but I will just share a couple on the blog today as maternity portraits can be very personal and this gorgeous mama-to-be would prefer I limit what I share on here.

so happy - Lethbridge child photographer

These photos just make me so happy… I just LOVE this boy! I can’t believe how fast he is growing up.

little cutie pie - Lethbridge baby photographer

admin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 17:51:17 +0000

This little girl was almost 1 at the time of our session, and she was such a delight to work with! Even with several outfit changes, and having her hair done several times she didn’t complain and just let me do my thing. I thought I’d share a quick sneak peek, I can’t wait til all this rain goes away so I can get back out there and do all the sessions that have been rescheduled because of the nasty weather!!

She was such a happy little girl (even though she had apparently skipped a nap that day)! I just love happy babies, they make my job so much easier!

baby Torra - Lethbridge newborn photographer

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 17:31:05 +0000

I apologize for not updating the blog much lately, life has been busy… and it’s about to get busier! I am expecting my 2nd baby in August so if you want summer pictures with me I am only taking sessions until the beginning of July (and I am booking about 2-3 weeks in advance right now so call or email me ASAP if you want a session in May or June!).

I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet baby girl the other day and I couldn’t wait to share a few of my favorites in a sneak peek for her parents… I hope you love them! Torra took a long time to get to sleep but once we finally get her to sleep she was just a little doll baby, I didn’t want to let her leave, I wanted to keep playing! I was excited to get to use several of my headbands and hats that I have recently bought for the studio, I just love girly things!

belly, birth & baby expo this saturday

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:32:45 +0000

Just in case you haven’t heard about it, there is going to be a Belly, Birth & Baby Expo this Saturday (March 20) from 10-5 at the Lethbridge Lodge. Why am I telling you this? Well because I am going to be an exhibitor! I am going to be there all day so I am hoping that lots of my clients and friends (and future client/friends) come visit me!

I am really excited both for my own table as well as for the opportunity to check out all the resources for us moms/mamas to be. There is going to be a kids fashion show as well as a baby wearing fashion show and lots of shopping! Admission is only $1 so you have no excuse not to come!

For more info and a full list of exhibitors you can check out this facebook page…
