Fall Portrait Session | Calgary Family Photographer

It’s been a busy fall season—and what a beautiful fall we have had!! This is one of my favourite families—a new family who quickly became a favourite because I already knew and loved the mama so well. We met one night for a Simply Portraits Session in Fish Creek Park. There was sunshine, fall leaves, and love…lots and lots of love.

I realized when sharing this set that I have yet to share their newborn session. I meant to share it—in fact, it’s ready to go, but I just never published it…so, I’ll do that later this week ;)

Enjoy!

Getting a Puppy

I've decided I should blog something. ha...this year has been so busy with both work and my family life that something had to give and my blog posts ended up being that thing.

This family won my contest that I had back in June and they chose to have their session to celebrate the arrival of their newest family member(a gorgeous puppy). We played in the backyard and then went for a walk. The puppy tired out quite quickly and had to be carried like a baby. So sweet. This is my favourite kind of session...a little bit of home and a little bit of the neighbourhood. Enjoy!

Right Before My Eyes

Most of my clients, I see multiple times. Some families, it's the same time every year...this is one of those families. Their kids grow up right before my eyes. The nice thing about visiting my regular families is that I'm comfortable enough to say...'hey, let's wait for a bit for this rain to pass because if the sun comes out afterwards, it will be gorgeous'...and, so we waited. And, it was worth it...even though our butts got wet and we were a teeny bit chilled.

And, for anyone who is at all familiar with my work, you'll recognize these two lovely ladies as the 'hammock girls'...An image from their first session with me ended up on a billboard in Time's Square to celebrate my being named 'NAPCP Child Photographer of the Year'...
