The M Family {Edmonton Family Photographer}

I am so grateful to Joanne (the gorgeous mom in the M family).  I met her 10 years ago at the firm we worked at (it feels like such a long time ago – a former life, really!).  She has been HUGE word of mouth advertising for my business.  I’ve been to several of her friends & neighbours homes for photo sessions in the past couple of years – some of the best clients that I could ask for.  And of course, they in turn have referred more families my way.  I’m sure everyone who knows Joanne will tell you she’s awesome – and that she has a wonderful family!  I’m so glad I finally got to photograph them last night.  Here are the photos M’s…

Baby Ruby {St. Albert Baby Photographer}

It was such a nice morning today!  An early start (7:00 am) but sometimes you just have to do what it takes to capture that lovely summer natural light.  Ruby is just 2 weeks shy of her first birthday, and she is incredibly cute! I last saw her in November 2009 (you may recognize her from the slide show that runs at the top of my blog).  I remember her being a happy little girl and that hasn’t changed!

Thanks again to Ruby’s mom & dad for braving the early start – you guys are awesome :)  Here’s your sneak peek!

Wall Collections {Edmonton Photographer}

Create a personal art gallery for your home.

I have put together several Wall Collections, and have priced them lower than what they would be a la carte ;)  Let me know which of your images you would like to see grouped together in a wall display, and I’ll show you the possibilities.

Wall Collections can be found under the “pricing” tab on the above menu.  Here’s two of the canvas/standout options:

Adelyn {Edmonton Family Photographer}

The weather was actually good to us last night.  Well, sure we had a huge thunder storm a couple of hours before the session, but the sun came out and it was a beautiful (very warm) evening.  Adelyn was so sweet in her little white dress, being a busy little 20 month old.  Not sure if that dress was still white by the time we left ;)

Here’s a sneak peek for her mom & dad…

The C Family {Edmonton Family Photographer}

FOUR!  That’s how many times we had to reschedule this photo session.  It was originally planned for May 23rd, but poor weather had us choosing another date.  And then another.  And another!  Finally, on the sixth date, it was warm and sunny.  I thought for sure a thunderstorm would roll in just before our session was to start – that seemed to be our luck.  But nope!  It was gorgeous.  And Natalie and Danny were ready to rock!  This was our third session together and I’ve been so fortunate to get to know this family  - they are such super people and I always have a fun time.

I hope you guys enjoy the first look at your images!

Kristy Lefebvre - I feel so blessed to be your neighbour…..Look at those beautiful kids…..Awesome Shannon!

July 23, 2010 - 12:09 am

Shannon - Alisa, I am in awe… how you manage to capture sweetness amidst the tantrums and general silliness/misbehaviour, I’ll never know! Thanks again – obviously we waited for just the right day! (And never mind the “Rainmaker Rodeo”… if we’re short on moisture next spring, I’ll just book another photo session with you and that should take care of it!)

July 24, 2010 - 12:18 pm

Kristi Mangan - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the family shots holding hands with the sunflare… gorgeous!
