GRAD NIGHT!

One of my favorite families was in yesterday.   We have a lot of history together including some past photo sessions!     It's been fun watching the kids go from teens to adults.... seemingly overnight...  Time flies!!  Never too late to get your little babies photographed, especially when they're all flying the coop!!   This day was a memorable Grad Night for Curtis, who looked very handsome in his tux.  He'll be leaving town shortly to join his older sister in Vernon to hit the books!   We are so proud!! 

A SWEET FAMILY...

This is another Kelowna Session.   It was a little bit dicey when we started when one of the kids had a complete allergy attack.... can you say RED eyes!!   As luck would have it, I happened to have allergy medicine in my emergency kit, along with some M&M's, which are great for bribes.   What a little trooper though - so brave and cooperative....  

YOU & ME... ANOTHER KELOWNA FAMILY

Here are some images from another Kelowna Family Session.   We found this really cool red door which was inspiring. Love the desert like landscape out there too...!      

 

KELOWNA FAMILY SESSION

This is one of my favorite families!   I've been shooting them since I bought my first camera and now the kids are so BIG!!    All I can say is WOW!  What a great bunch of kids!  So polite and sweet....  Lots of fun!  I'm in a black and white mood today.....  More to come....

  I've always loved Darby's eyelashes.....

MORE BABY LOVE...

Kari and Curtis and their new addition Autumn.  Kari and I have lots of history!  I photographed Kari's wedding 3 years ago, then her maternity, and now their beautiful new baby girl and she's worked as my assistant learning photography for the last couple of years too!  It's been sooo fun!!  I remember when she was "thinking" about having babies... of course I had lots of advice....    You guys have such a beautiful family!  Hugs and kisses!! 

FAMILY FIRST

Here are some recent photos of a very sweet family that I just LOVE!  My girls helped me throughout this session, which they will often do when I have a toddler & a baby together!  Nothing works better when a toddler says "no" than bringing down either a kid, a cat or a dog.  Excellent distractions.  Cause the whole trick is to make it fun right?   If they don't want their picture taken, it's not fun!!  I didn't realize until today what an amazing assistant Nicole is turning into!    Now, with these sessions especially, you're not going to get the family photo with everyone smiling nicely into the camera - not with me anyway!!  Hey!  This is all about being real!  Oh, I've got some photos with everyone looking at the camera, but this family photo is the fun one!

GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR MOTHER'S DAY!

Mother's Day is coming!! What would every mom LOVE to have?? Photos of her children of course... Now it's not too late to get that gift certificate to get the ball rolling! What a shockingly pleasant surprise... Honestly, photos are so important to woman! It's a girl thing ya know - a gift that won't be forgotten! Call today! I guarantee this will earn you some major brownie points!

FOR MOM

Here are a couple from a session we did today. Brandon, Heather & Jessica. I've known Heather since she was in Grade Five and my girls LOVE her.   Comments from the Mallory girls: "Is that Heather Maz?.... she's sooo pretty". "Which one is Heather?"   "We like Heather, she's nice"   "Heather was our favorite". 

YESTERDAY'S VERY FUN FAMILY SESSION

Complete with hail and rain!  Of course, how could we not be shooting in hail and rain?  God knows it was sunny before we left, but we live in B.C., so of course we should expect hail & rain at some point in the day! 

This Session was so FUN!  What a great family!  The boys home to visit their parents, oh & hey, you're getting your picture done. I think they needed a bit of convincing, but didn't we have fun guys??  I really enjoyed myself. We had a few laughs that's for sure!!  Here are a few sneak peaks some of my favorites - one for you too Wendy....  heehee.   They look so cute!            

THE REST OF THE FAMILY!

Here's the rest of the Gerber Baby's family!!   These were all shot in the studio.  We had lotsa fun!

Tis the Season!!

With Christmas upon us, I have been busy shooting kids, babies & families and making Christmas Cards!!

Here's one for ya   !
