Farewell Summer

What a great summer this has been! It's sad to see it go, but here comes fall (my favourite season). I hope to get "home" to Grandview and get some beautiful harvest pictures with my Dad in them. I hope I don't miss it this year like I did last year.

Here is a cute picture of my boys with my two nephews at the beach. These are my favourite types of pictures, casual and "unposed".

Happy Fall Everyone!!

The Fraser Family

I had so much fun taking pictures of this family. Kailee & Marisa were an absolute joy to photograph and I could have stayed out in that field all night snapping pictures of these cute girls. I promised the girls I'd try to get some pictures on my blog tonight so here are just a few of the MANY pictures I took this evening.

Harvest Family

This is my brother Lance's family. It was their 9th Anniversary so I took them out to some of the local fields and captured some really nice shots. So much fun!!

Big News!

Well, I quit my job yesterday. I worked part-time for City Hall and was finding with the photography and demands of family, I just could no longer keep up the pace. Something had to give and it was time to get my priorities in line. I have worked at City Hall for nine wonderful years. My amazing co-workers were like family to me and I am very saddened by the fact that I won't have the privilege of working with them anymore. However, I am excited about the prospect of being able to set my own hours, work from home and spend more time with my three boys. I am in the midst of setting up a little "studio" in my home so that I can continue to do family & children's portraits when the snow falls. Wish me luck everyone! I am still a little leery (and very sad) about my decision, but I think in time it will be the best thing for me, and more importantly, my family.

Cheers!

Family Ties

I had so much fun taking pictures of Melanie & Nancy's families.

Wheat Fields

I am hoping to take pictures in a Wheat field on Sunday of a young farm family in the area. I think it would be a cool backdrop as well as symbolize the family's dedication to agriculture. I hope the weather, children & harvest season cooperate so I can capture this photo. Stay tuned!

Miss. Scarlet

Had tonnes of fun taking pictures of this little sweet heart! There is nothing sweeter than a newborn baby.

Cheers!
