The W Family | Mannville Family Photographer

Okay I’ll admit it…I like it inside when the air is chilly. Yes, I am a wimp. After a day of being outside shooting I was anxious to round up all my props, light a fire and cozy up for an evening of relaxation. I do however, have this crazy obsession with backing up my files as soon as I shoot them, so while my fire was warming the air in the other room I settled in my office to load and backup all of my files from the day. As I was waiting I started browsing through the W family’s images. Up popped a screen to tell me my download had finished…I quickly dismissed it. I was so in love with the images I was looking at I was giddy. (any of my clients can verify that I do in fact let out a little excited EEK! when I like an image I see on the back of my camera!)

Momma W I wish I could show you more but unfortunately I can’t…so here are your sneak peeks…ones that as a mother tug at my heart strings. Enjoy!

Ladies Man

admin — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 04:49:38 +0000

Little girls the world over never need to worry about having a pony to love…and to have him love them back.

He is here…

right in my pasture…

and he loves little girls…even ones that aren’t his person. (although Dolly will tell you differently!)

His heart is pure. He always has a hug for any little princess who ventures out to love him.

Some sessions are a pile of laughs…and this one was one of them. Little miss was so cute! I just wanted to smooch her lil cheeks…and I wouldn’t have minded at all if mom and dad would have left her here…but she clearly was the apple of their eye, I don’t think any amount of convincing would have had them driving away with an empty vehicle!
Thanks to all three of you for coming out on such a chilly day!

Boys will be boys | Wainwright Child Photography

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 04:22:14 +0000

I must say that these two brothers were a pair of silly boys. I chuckled many times as they made the best smiling faces at me. They had some really good ones…and they even got their little sister to join in the fun too! It was fun to laugh and giggle with them. Children are such honest little people…and spending time being silly with them really makes me forget some of the adult stuff and see the joy and the beauty in life. It is sometimes so easy to forget to stop and enjoy the moment….something we should all do much more often.

A weekend of learning

admin — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:25:19 +0000

This weekend CCP hosted the Heartfelt workshops on Saturday and Sunday. Both days had such a lovely and fun group of ladies,traveling from Wainwright, Irma, Lloyd, Lashburn, Hughenden and Edmonton! It was nice to meet those who were new and to catch up with those I hadn’t seen in a while.

When the ladies arrived they were greeted with vintage photos hanging in the trees and tucked all around the studio…they look so fun! I wish I could leave them outside like that all the time.

Once inside their swag awaited them! There were all sorts of goodies and a few coupons too! I kind of wished I was taking the class so I could take a bag home with me!

We spent some time inside the studio learning about our cameras and what makes them work the way they do…and then it was time to hit the trails and put that knowledge to use!
(ladies you didn’t really think I was carrying my camera around and NOT taking pictures of you…did you?!?! lol)

Thank you all for taking the time to come out and “play”! I hope you all learned lots!

party of three | Lloydminster family photography

It has been such an amazing fall. The weather has been perfect! And it definitely was when Miss K and her family came out to the studio. It is hard to believe that we are nearing the end of September and having 30+ weather.

Reality is lingering in the back of mind as I keep thinking that it is possible that in one month from now we could have had a snowfall…and how I will be longing for days like this once more!

It’s that time

After we got Raceboy82 on the bus Dolly and I spent the morning together, taking our time getting ready for the big day ahead.
It was the kind of day today that mom’s all over the world talk about…the day your baby goes to school.
It was very important to Dolly…she wanted her hair curled and she wanted hearts on her nails. She told me she was going to tell all the kids they were pretty and ask if they wanted to be her friend. She also started getting really sad, not wanting mom to leave her when she got to the school.
That all changed as we walked up the stairs to her classroom. She didn’t even notice when I snuck out the door.
As I sat in the car taking a moment to myself I thought how just over four years ago I thought this day was a distant thing. It is no longer a thought in my head but a reality.
How fast the time has gone…

The kids are back in school and it is time to celebrate! CCP is hosting Back2School mini sessions!
This is a great way to capture your child just as they are as the new school year begins with these fun and special styled little sessions.
It is also a great way to get a jump on your Christmas shopping! (I am sure all the grandparents out there would love something special with an image of their grandchildren on it.)

* Available for children ages 3-16.

*Limited spaces so be sure to book right away!

Childhood wonder

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 18:32:49 +0000

When I was a little girl I loved to spend time at my grandparents farm. I would cry when it came time to leave, and I can remember more than one time being tricked into leaving. I loved the animals…they were my “friends”. If at any time I was missing the first place to look for me was the chicken coop. I know it is a strange place for a little girl to want to spend her time but I was fascinated with the chickens.

In the spring we got 26 chicks and I have seen history repeat itself…for Dolly LOVES her chickies. This weekend has been a very special weekend for our chickies. We found our first eggs and Dolly could not have been more excited. I took her out to the chicken coop this morning to capture this moment in her childhood. I know when she is older she will cherish these fondly.

Playing pirates, hide and go seek in the tall grass and laughing and giggling was what this session was all about. I had so much fun with these three! Miss P always amuses me with her antics and facial expressions…I was chuckling away as I was looking through the images. That chuckling turned to out right laughing as I watched the video clips….the boys are quite the characters. There must never be a dull moment when they are around!

As always thanks “B” for bringing them out!
