Wow, I've been busy!

Hello everyone,

I have been a busy bee the past 2 weeks... I've had 3 photo shoots and 1 personal shoot over the past little bit and have TONS of editing to do!! EEK! I'm heading to Calgary WITH my laptop so hopefully I'll get some done while Marrah is napping. I'll post some as soon as I get a set done! Can't wait to show you guys! I think I got some really great shots to share!

My first maternity session with a beautiful Mother-to-be

As promised, here are beautiful mother-to-be B. and her husband D.'s photographs just before the birth of their first child. Here are a few of my favourites from our session. A slideshow (and link to the album) of the rest of the photos is at the bottom.

My first Maternity Shoot!!

Hi all,

Well, I had my first maternity shoot yesterday and it went great. It was a hot day so that made it a little more challenging but I think I got some great shots of the mommy and daddy-to-be. I will try to post a few "sneak peeks" soon (I promise)!

Now I wish I had a studio so I could do some cute bare belly shots but the park with all the people around was not conducive to that. I think that will be my goal for this winter... by the time, the snow flies, I want to have some backdrops and a couple strobes... we will see!

Exciting news!!!

Okay, I have to share my exciting news... not necessarily photography related but I GOT FLOOR SEATS, ROW 4 FOR DAVID COPPERFIELD ON OCTOBER 30TH!!! ROW 4!!! ROW 4!!! DID YA GET THAT?? ROW 4!!!

I've seen him before at the Jubilee but I was in the nosebleeds and could hardly see anything... it was good but I always said if I ever went back I'd want to be on the same floor as the stage at least... and now I will be! YAY! I have watched his shows since I was a little kid on TV and think it's very cool. So I'm excited (if ya couldn't tell)!

Also, another exciting tidbit is that Rebecca was kind enough to share a few of her portfolio shoots with me since her baby is coming soon and I have the possibility of 4 sessions in the near future, one being a maternity shoot! I'm sooo excited and very nervous all at the same time! It's going to be for people I don't know so that makes me nervous... All the sessions so far have been for friends and family so at least if I totally screwed it up, they wouldn't be too hard on me... They are free sessions so it's not like they can be too picky but I hope I do a good job for them! Thanks again Rebecca for the referrals!!

Hope to have some new pictures for you soon!

And the winner is...

I know most people liked Scriptina and I like it but since everyone else seems to use it too and I am sooo not a follower... I picked another one that really called to me... and here it is!

(And a big thanks to Jenn for capturing my Marrah's first time on a swing, on my camera, when she wouldn't let anyone but mommy give her a little push!)

And here's a couple of my favourites from my sister's family portraits...
