Camping in Kananaskis

I have always had a 'bucket list' of sessions that I wanted to do. A camping family session is definitely one of them. I knew this family had a cool red Boler, so I suggested a fall session out in Kananaskis with their red Boler in tow. Last night on Facebook, my good friend, Nashville photographer Mandy Johnson, posted that she had a wish to do a camping session. I got to thinking how I never had shared this session. I also got to thinking about how lucky I was to have clients who are willing to do stuff like this. Stuff that is outside the box. Stuff that requires a wee bit more effort than simply getting dressed and showing up. I think it was worth it :)

That was the biggest share I've done in awhile :) If you are camping in Kananaskis this summer and would love to have your family photographs done while you are out there, just give me a shout. I'd love to do it for you.

Balls In The Air

From this morning...I said their sneak peek would be later on in the week. I said it would be the one with the sheep(ha--true story, there were sheep). But when I was uploading the images and I saw these ones, I had to do it. It's true that this is from a 'newborn' session. Clearly, not the baby :) Not anymore at least...he is just the definition of two year old joy in these.

I don't think I ever did blog their whole session from last year, but I'm pretty sure that at least one image is in my 'family' portfolio. Love visiting families over and over again...watching them grow :) One of the best things about my job for sure.

I feel like there should be more fall leaves in the images on my blog...I'm sure there will be one day :)

Only a handful of sessions left in October. Just saying...
