Motherhood

This is a recent shot from a studio session I did. As much as I love the big, loud moments with huge expression and bright colours...there is something equally as appealing to me as these quiet moments. These soft moments of motherhood. They aren't so obvious. We have to search for them. But they are so precious because in amongst the temper tantrums and the teething, we might forget sometimes that they existed.

Mountain Engagement Session

This couple spends all their spare time in the mountains. Like many Albertans, the rugged landscape is a huge part of their relationship. It only made sense to capture them in their element.Lacey_Pete_-2 Lacey_Pete_-4 Lacey_Pete_-6 Lacey_Pete_-7 Lacey_Pete_-9 Lacey_Pete_-14 Lacey_Pete_-20 Lacey_Pete_-23 Lacey_Pete_-26 Lacey_Pete_-33 Lacey_Pete_-38 Lacey_Pete_-43 Lacey_Pete_-44 Lacey_Pete_-45 Lacey_Pete_-51 Lacey_Pete_-53 Lacey_Pete_-55 Lacey_Pete_-56 Lacey_Pete_-66 Lacey_Pete_-83 Lacey_Pete_-87 Lacey_Pete_-89 Lacey_Pete_-92 Lacey_Pete_-95

Getting caught up and sharing some of my recent work ;)

Just a schedule notice--June is pretty much full. I have a couple of weekday spots available and that is it. May is pretty packed as well. Sooooooo....booking with flexibility isn't happening until July. If you are hoping to have a session with me this summer, you should act fast.

Thanks!

Then and Now

This is from their first or second session(wish I knew...)...way back THEN: And, then, this is from today...right at the end of the session when we decided to go outside for a few: It is such a pleasure to watch them grow...and I will admit to getting a bit choked up when I saw how big they were this year. I see them every year...for the last 5 or 6 years. And, in their house they have a hallway that is the 'Short and Sweet' gallery...there are other canvases scattered around, too...a reminder of just how long it's been. They grow too fast.
