After several weeks, my new website is finally live! :)

Danica

I had the pleasure of photographing six-month old Danica yesterday! Such a cutey, with her big, blue eyes and adorable outfits. Thanks for bringing her out Toni & Don. Great to meet all of you. Here is a sneak peak at some of the many images we captured of this little doll!

The CD is Ready!!

A few months ago I went to Grandview to photograph the very talented Kayla Luky. She needed some images for her upcoming Cd and promotional tour. We toured out North of Grandview for some great shots where Kayla grew up. I was so excited when I got the mail today and found Kayla's CD!! Looks awesome Kayla - I am so happy I could be a part of this. Congratulations on all the good things that are happening to you! I wish you nothing but success.....for information on purchasing a Cd please email info@kaylaluky.ca

Grandview is so proud!

More Snow! Seriously?

Woke up to all this snow falling yesterday and it continued to fall all day. Not really what we need given our current flood situation. The boy thought it was pretty cool though!

The McLean Family

Meet Cam & Ashley's family! They just had their second girl, Atavia, three weeks ago. I travelled into their home in Portage la Prairie to capture some newborn photos as well as a few family pictures. Poor Ashley broke her ankle right before Atavia was born - what a trooper. She has a new baby, a three year old and is unable to walk at this point. I don't know how she does it. Between the blizzard and Ashley's broken ankle, we figured it was easier for me to travel to them.

Here are just a few of the many images we captured last Sunday afternoon.

Thanks Cam & Ashley - and congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby girl

Snow Day!!

SNOW DAY! No school today as the highways were closed this morning when the buses were to head out. The boys and I went out for a couple hours and enjoyed this beautiful day!

Yum!

Well, we woke up this morning like any other morning, got the boys ready for school and waited.  We waited, and waited and finally realized the bus wasn't coming.  I checked the School website and sure enough, SNOW DAY!!!!  The kids were so excited - they threw up their mitts in the air and gave me a big hug.  I decided we'd spend the morning baking.  Let me rephrase that.  I would spend the morning baking, they would spend the morning sitting on their butts watching cartoons while they cleaned out the bowls!!  Jack was the only one who seemed remotely interested in helping me bake! 

My sister and her adorable boys are coming for a few days so I am in the process of baking muffins, cupcakes and cookies!!  I can't wait for them to get here......

I found this awesome muffin recipe and figured I'd share it with you.

Ingredients:
1 3\4 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1 Egg
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 Cup Plain or Vanilla Yogurt
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Mashed Ripe Banana
3/4 Cup Chocolate Chips

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the egg, oil, yogurt and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Add banas and chocolate chips. Fill greasd or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for five minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
Enjoy!

I also made some "Dad's Cookies" this morning too - but I add chocolate chips to mine!

1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Brown Sugar
1 Cup Butter, softened
1 Egg
3/4 Coconut
1.5 Cup Flower
1 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Baking Powder
1-1/4 Cup of Oatmeal
1-1/2 tsp Vanilla

Mix and Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

Atavia - Three Weeks New!

Meet Baby Atavia - three weeks old! She was a complete little doll to photograph and was as good as gold. Such a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations Cam & Ashley!

Del turns ONE!

It's hard to believe, but Mr. Del is turning ONE this week! I first met Del when he was just a couple months old and his parents brought him out for newborn pictures. He is simply adorable and I have been so privileged to watch this little boy through his first year. If you follow my work, this is the little "skunk" I took pictures of in October and then took some adorable pictures of him at Christmas time as well. Thank you Karley for trusting me with these memories - and thank you to Del's Aunty Rhonda as well (she has given Del gift certificates for his newborn and one-year portraits!)
