A collage and a video (Winnipeg Family Photographer)

I love all the expressions of this sweet 4 month old. I couldn’t have asked for a more fun and easy baby to photograph either.  And she was so patient with her mom and dad playing dress up with her as well!

I also made a video of a very fun family in the park. Have a look! The kids had so much fun in the leaves.

4 month olds now (Winnipeg Newborn Photographer)

It seems like just yesterday that I photographed this little doll when she was just a week old. She’s grown a lot and is still as easy going and sweet as can be.  This time I also did some 4 generation pictures with mom, grandma and great grandma. What a lucky little girl to be surrounded by so much love!

It sure was fun to play dress up with this girl.

 

More Fall Fun (Winnipeg Family Photographer)

Today I had the pleasure of photographing a family of cousins aged 8,  5 and 9 months old. The rain held off and I had  fun with them  in the fall leaves. The older two really enjoyed throwing leaves on their 9 month old cousin and the little guy had fun watching all of the leaves coming down. I often say that I have the best job in the world and I certainly felt that way with this great family.

The leaves have changed colours right now and are quickly falling to the ground. There is still time for fall pictures but it can’t be long before the snow (I hate to say it) falls, so don’t delay booking a session if you are interested.

Here are some of the pictures that I took today:

 

Fall Fun (Winnipeg Family Photographer)

Saturday was a lovely day to play in the leaves and that is just what I had these three kids do. You can see from the picture how much fun they had. I hd them play for a while before trying to get them to sit for any posed pictures. It worked very well. I love to capture kids’ expressions when they are playing like this. It’s so much more fun than posing them; for them and for me.

The other thing that made this shoot so successful, was that they were all dressed in the same colour scheme as you can see from the family picture. And they all matched the fall leaves. I think Mom and Dad will treasure the images from this shoot in years to come. Have a look.

 

 

 

Cute as a Button (Winnipeg Baby Photographer)

My second shoot last Saturday was N a very cute 2 month old boy. He gave me all kinds of cute expressions and lots of smiles. Here are a few of my favorites:

Christmas Portrait Special (Winnipeg Family Photographer)

I know it’s only Oct. 18th, but with November comes family pictures for Christmas and I wanted to make everyone aware of what my Christmas Special would be. Starting on the weekend of November 7th, up until 2 weeks before Christmas I will be offering a 20 minute, in studio session for $50. With this session, you will receive one 8×10 and two 5×7s, or you can get a DVD of 10 of your images for an extra $100.00.

Book your session soon.

Two Cutie Pies (Winnipeg Child Photographer)

The weather did not cooperate yesterday and the first of my two shoots was outside at Harbourview Park. We took a few pictures outside and then went into the clubhouse. Fortunately,  there were windows on 4 sides and we were able to get some great pictures inside. These two cuties pies are my niece’s kids and they were a lot of fun to work with, especially S, who surprised me by knowing all kinds of modeliing moves.

I love this one of S jumping! So much expression and great form!!

And now I am six (Winnipeg Child Photographer)

 

Lucky kids at this birthday party. They got to go to the new Humane Society Building which is totally impressive. I had never been there before and was very impressed. I loved all the window light and the high ceilings, but most of all I loved the cats and dogs that were there. It was hard to not bring a pet home with me.  A great improvement from the old building!

S turned 6 and the kids all had a blast. Our guides were amazing with the animals and with the children. A great place for a birthday party!

Here’s a video of the event.

Competition Judges, Annie the dog and other stuff (Winnipeg Photographer)

Well I am back from Calgary to find that Winnipeg is actually warmer than Calgary! And has less snow. Wow! How cool is that? Makes me happy to be home even though I’ll miss the cutest she dog in the world. (More on that later)

I’ve mentioned the Manitoba Camera Club before (www.manitobacameraclub.ca) . I’m on the Competition Committee and this month I am in charge of getting the judges for our photography competition. I was kind of worried that I had left it so long and got right to it when I was in Canmore. And I got two very WOW judges!! My niece put me on to this super cool painter whose blog I’ve been reading lately and she agree to be a judge. Her name is Kal Barteski and her blog is:  http://www.lovelife.typepad.com/.  So that was the first one. Then the second judge I got is Dustin Leader (www.dustinleader.ca), who I remember assisting Craig in classes at Prairie View School of Photography.  I can’t wait for the chance to chat with these two and find out more about Kal’s kids and her art show coming up.

Now the dog.  Annie is my son’s family’s newest pet and she is adorable as you will see in the pictures. Not only is she as cute as can be, she is a super sweet and cuddly, and let’s  everyone treat her like she’s a human baby.

Check her out on the swing. This amazing dog stayed in the swing and let us take her picture!

Isn’t the green toque adorable on her?

A few cuddles and licks for my favorite grandson.

Annie even likes the cats. Here she is with Juker, who is sharing his couch with Annie.

Finally, I added a Facebook page for my photography;  have a look:

Brother and Sister #2 (Winnipeg Child and Family Photographer)

This is the second of my brother and sister kids that I did last week. I had done pictures of these children once before at their log cabin with all of their animals and so I knew how great they were to work with.  C, she girl is in grade 3 and her brother B, is in grade 5. One of the pictures that I took of C with her cat has won me a couple of awards!! This time we went to Bunns Creek Park in NK and had fun there. Here are a few of these kids.
