It is such a great honor to be given the chance to truly impact people's lives in such difficult times in their lives. Both of these families have children who are palliative and I truly believe that these children taught me more and impacted me so. I have never been so emotional while editing, but I know that my life is somehow richer by getting to know these families every month.
Meeting this sweet couple for their consultation got me so excited to capture this beautiful moment in their lives, and can you blame me? They are gorgeous! Inside and out! So I literally did a happy dance when I got the email from Sharlene that she wanted to hire me. I had a wonderful time at both of their sessions, and meeting Gia I was blown away at how beautiful she was! Poor Chad, he is going to have to get himself a shotgun or bazooka or something, because she is going to be a heartbreaker!
I met Jessica in French class in my first semester of university and was ecstatic to hear that she and her man Paul were expecting! Now they are engaged!! I wish this beautiful family with their sweet little daughter all the best and I cannot wait to see Pyper grow. She is just beautiful!
So it really made my heart overflow to do these sessions, I mean I am not thinking that it is the MOST important thing they probably have experienced in that beautiful house, the Ronald McDonald House, but it was the most important thing I could do for them. For me photos with your family are not just hey lets sit in front of the camera and smile so we can document what we looked like in 2013 LOL, no for me family photos is a part of your story, I want you to feel like when you look at these photos you remember your experience in getting them done! And because a visit to the Ronald McDonald House is a pretty significant part of your family's story I want to help these beautiful families to capture this time!
I almost cannot express in words just how amazing it feels to hang out at this house, I know that people visiting here are going through very profound and extraordinary times. But you don't really feel that there. You feel at home. Unbelievable. Amazing. People were so friendly, (everyone knew who I was lol, that was pretty cool) but there was a feeling of family and coziness and warmth. Seriously being in that house was like a recharge for my soul, the people who run this place know what they are doing, they are so fiercely protective of their families and they are amazing, beautiful (inside and out) people!
Thank you Ronald McDonald House and these lovely families for letting me into their lives for an hour, It was my pleasure!
Update: Session number 2 doesn't want their photos on this blog, this is completely understandable and any client of mine can ask for any photos to be removed (: I always put my respect for your family's privacy above everything else!
Family #1 - this was a family of three girls, one being a TWO day old baby, can we all take a minute to just gush at how amazing Mom looked!!! Like seriously, I would not have looked that good only FIFTY hours after, you know, GIVING BIRTH!! But what can you expect? The ENTIRE family was gorgeous!!
Family #3 - AGAIN! Another gorgeous family, I am not just saying this here people, you can see it in the photos, I was just bombarded with gorgeous people and their children this month!! So this last family was such a great bunch, totally laid back and obviously madly in love with their little guy. Dad was back home takin care of business, so Grandma stepped in to help with the session and got some great pictures with her favourite little guy. Mama was beautiful, baby was beautiful. Sigh. I really do love doing what I do! Check back next month for my next visit to Ronald McDonald House!!
I had such a great time getting to know this adorable lil guy and his sweet family! His sister has the sass of a three year old but you can see that she is pretty much in awe of her little brother, I asked her if she was excited for him to grow up so they could play together and her answer was "I dunno" which is super funny because that is what her answer was for most everything hehe. This little boy was such a sweetie and so good to me with all of his smiley faces, I cannot wait to see the cuteness that will happen as this little one grows... I just hope for mama's sake he doesn't grow too fast.
Had a total blast with these guys doing their engagement session! I cannot wait till Chuck and I get to shoot their Kananaskis wedding!! It is going to be so BEAUTIFUL!!
Just a few weeks ago I met this beautiful family as they were expecting their second child. We did a beautiful maternity session and sat back and waited for this little guy to show up. Today I finally got to meet him! He is absolutely perfect and unbelievably adorable! Here are some images from both the maternity session and the newborn session.

Little Linus was one of my first baby sessions as well as his first birthday photos in the summer (: I was so excited to hear that he was signed up for one of my January mini sessions. Seriously I cannot get enough of his baby blues and his smile is completely contagious, I am not kidding, try not to smile when you see these (: I am excited to be able to capture his mama in her maternity session this week as well as his little brother or sister when he or she is born (:
P.S. I am not one for gossip but I heard that this little guy has a girl friend, I don't want to name names, but I believe Eloise from a couple of blog posts below is the girlfriend (:

It is not every day that I get adults into my studios, but when Julia contacted me because she wanted pictures with her mom I was so excited. I think pictures with your mom at ANY age are so important to not only you but I am pretty sure to your mom (: So these ladies got all dolled up, brought a couple of changes of clothing and had a glamorous photo shoot to celebrate each other (: I was so honored to be a part of it! (:

I was incredibly lucky to photograph this little girl before she was born in her mom's maternity session, her newborn session at 9 days old, and now here she is back in my studio for her first year birthday photos. She has grown beautifully! She loves walking with her mom and dad holding her hands, and she has the sweetest disposition. I just love watching these gorgeous children grow!
