this sweet new family of three holds a special place in my heart…sarah grew up across the street from us and was my little sister’s best friend, so it’s kinda surreal to see her as a mom. but oh, does it suit her. it just makes sense.

this family has had its share of heartache this year, so this was a joyful celebration in recognition of where they’ve come from and in anticipation of what’s ahead. i’m so glad they were able to spend some time just being together, being relaxed and silly and enjoying each other’s company. this is what it’s all about, friends.

january 2011, i was on a snowy highway returning from prince george when i got a call from emma saying oliver had been born and she wanted to get some baby pictures taken. he was a sweet and very wakeful little thing who i will always remember as the first baby (who was not my own) to pee on me . fast forward two and a half years and here is owen…born into the sun and sleepy as can be. opposites who are sure to be the best of friends.

i got to know these sweet children when little miss m turned one last winter and it was so fun to catch up with them now and see how much they’ve both grown. and even though big bro would try to act tough at times, he has certainly reserved a soft spot in his heart for his little sister.

the halls are good friends of ours, our connection dating back to before kids, before marriage, basically to before we were as incredibly mature and good looking as we are now. steph and i have more recently bonded over our love for photography and all things thrift (or “used” as my husband would affectionately refer to it). being a photographer herself, steph has lots of pictures of them around home being a normal family. so they wanted to spice it up a little by dressing up and going to the beach.
little did i know that there was also another reason for choosing the beach…as we chatted through the session, she told me that they are planning to move to the rolling plains of landlocked saskatchewan! an incredible job opportunity has been offered to kevin and it gives them the chance to live some years closer to the other set of grandparents who are excited to watch their grandkids grow up.
i hope this did your “beach picture” dreams justice…we love you and will miss you!! if you live near saskatoon and need a wedding photographer, give steph a call!!

ok. so i will be completely honest. when tricia contacted me and told me she had 4 boys between the ages of 4 and 10, i was a little frightened. then she told me she wanted something “fun and lighthearted” and that, my friends, was music to my ears. i knew we had to go somewhere that the boys could explore and run around and not feel cooped up in “cheese” mode.
well i tell ya, these boys showed up and they were so amazing – i don’t know what kind of treats she promised them, but i hope they got lots. because they rocked it.
we even made a friend…of the animal variety. apparently this little guy was hungry and needed to find a way back home. the boys were so sweet and helped him back into his natural habitat.
so if you happen to be in the park in a few months and see a lovely little butterfly float by, you’ll know a bit of his story. and you can thank the griffioen boys.

hallie contacted me last year about giving her parents a family photo session certificate as a christmas gift and we finally found a date that worked for all of us! i love shooting in a location which is special to the client. it’s fun to go and scout beautiful fields and blossoming orchards, but there’s something personal about being able to take pictures of someone at home. so imagine my delight when joe and hallie’s home was surrounded by beautiful fields and blooming trees! best of both worlds.
derek was trying really hard to whistle with the grass, but even after a tutorial from dad, it still just kinda sounded like a fart (don’t tell him i said that).

i got to meet this family last year after doing an engagement session for joanna’s sister (only one of my favorite engagement sessions. ever.). i was so pleased when she contacted me about doing some pictures for their daughter who just turned one. she’s not walking yet, but boy could that girl move! she was pretty wary of me for the majority of the session, but i can tell you that she does like: 1. dogs 2. the wind 3.getting dirty and 4. her mom & dad.
