Smiles Everywhere! :)

So some of you may be wondering why I have been 'hiding' for the last little while. Part of it is the move closer to Winnipeg, but it's also that I'm on a secret assignment, which I've finally completed. It took many evenings of late night work and I'm so proud of it! Cannot post specifics though so message me if you want the scoop ;)

In the meantime, here are some photographs I took of a family recently that I really enjoyed. The hardest part was getting them to stop smiling for the one serious shot, jk! Take a peek!

School Portraits

Today, I did some school portraits for a family. It was my first time doing school pictures and I was very happy with how it went. The session was about 30 minutes total for 3 kids. A quick five clicks of each child and out pop some gorgeous photos. Take a look!

Need some school portraits done? Kids grow up so fast; it's highly recommended by most pro's to get individual photos of your child at least twice a year! When was your last session?

Glamour Session

I did a glamour session the other day with Ida, a very talented young model. We had a pleasant time in the park with beautiful colours and sunshine. Shortly after returning to the studio though, my flash stand knocked over and we had to wrap things up quickly but over all it was a great shoot! Thanks Ida!!

Going on a Lion Hunt

I had the greatest time with these kids! We drove up to the path leading to the field and I asked them if they'd ever heard of the song, 'Going on a Lion Hunt'. They each nodded exuberantly. "Well," I said, "this is a little different, because if you see a lion, I want you to run back to the car screaming like crazy!" What a way to break the ice :) and it worked very well. Although the youngest was still bound and determined by the end of the shoot that he was still going to see a lion, bummer, lol

Great lighting, great scenery, great kids, great time! Thanks Jodi!

Too Cute!

Just finished the editing on this set! I love the feeling of accomplishment, 30 photos done. This was a session I did for my friend, Kim. She has adorable kids that are a bit shy, which is just too cute! It was difficult to get smiles, even I smile when offered chocolate, lol. Anyway, it is so rewarding to have been able to capture the few split seconds where Abby smiled! Too cute! Here are my favorites from Kim's session:
