Family

This family is awesome. Their momma, Melissa Chapman of White Lotus Photography, is a photographer friend of mine, and this was the first time I got to meet her husband and kids. We headed out to my inlaws farmyard to shoot their session, and these city kids just thought the tractor was the best! We had a great time shooting, until heads collided and the session came to a crashing halt with two black eyes. Thankfully, we were just wrapping up anyway, but there were some pretty colorful faces for the ride home.  :(  Hopefully everyone is all healed up!

With a cute toque and sweater like this little guy had, we had to try at least a few outdoor shots, but the wind and chilly air was a bit too much for a baby, so we eventually moved to the studio. But at least we got a few with the leaves!

I spent a few hours with this family one afternoon at their farm and surrounding areas. I love doing family sessions in farmyards. There are always so many cool old buildings and areas to explore  :)

This extended family group had won a gift certificate that I had donated awhile back. We figured out a fall day that would work for both of us, and it turned out to be a great day!  I’m loving the beautiful fall colors.  Too bad it’s such a short season :(

This family came for their session last week, and we had a beautiful morning for shooting. Sunshine, lots of leaves and a few ladybugs.

This mommy was a beautiful bridesmaid in a wedding I shot this past summer.  After the wedding she contacted me to set up a pregnancy/family session. It was awesome that dad brought his guitar and we got to incorporate that into the session.

The evening that I left for this couple’s farm north of the valley, I was sure that by the time I got there, I was going to be rained out. It was ugly, grey and getting wet.  I phoned, and she swore it was shining there! Honestly, I thought she was nuts.  I had gone through the valley, and it was still wet and ugly! But as I rounded the curve of the highway and pulled into their yard, there was a shimmer of sun shining through the clouds, and it hadn’t rained there at all. So in the end, we had an awesome evening to shoot, and she wasn’t crazy afterall!  Thanks for the fun night guys.

Family

Last weekend I headed out to Whitewood to photograph a few families. It was chilly and windy for the first session, but amazingly, we did everything outside, even with 4 month old twins!  We totally lucked out with them both deciding to take a quick cat nap halfway through, and we placed them under the apple tree for some cute shots. The second family didn’t have such good luck. It started pouring rain about 15 minutes before we were supposed to shoot the session.  We met in Whitewood, hid out under trees, wooden archways, a covered deck, etc.  My camera was covered by a plastic bag, and I was completely drenched by the time we were done. But we did it!  Crazy Saskatchewan weather. You just never know what’s going to happen in this province!

Baby

A while back I photographed this couple’s wedding down at Ft. Qu’appelle and we had a beautiful day for it. The day they came for pictures of their little girl, it wasn’t quite as nice, so we stuck in the studio. She made me work pretty hard for the smiles. I think I sang the Elmo’s World song about 40 times that afternoon! But it got her grinning, so it was worth it :) I just scrolled through to check this post and noticed I don’t really have any with big smiles in here, but we did get some!

Extended family

Depending on how good you are with faces, and how much you follow the blog, you may recognize a set of faces within this extended family grouping. I have photographed the one family a number of times, and when it was decided that a big family picture was needed with the rest of the family, they gave me a call. I headed out to an area I’d never been before, Quinton, Sk.  Grandma had a beautiful flower bed and garden that we took advantage of, as well as a few old white fences, beautiful birch trees, and a big ol’ red barn. We had it all! Thanks for having me out, and thank you soooo much for the meal afterwards. I am still reliving memories of that incredible apple pie. THE best apple pie I have ever had, hands down.  Merci!
