Bursey-Couldridge Family

I love photographing young families, however this often means chasing around young children who don't want a stranger (me) taking their picture. I can't blame them, their parents are telling them to smile and act normal when a stranger is following them around with a big camera in front of their face.

Rhys certainly wasn't impressed with me in his house but I did manage to capture some of his smiles. He's the cutest kid and just melts your heart. It's not surprising since his parents are pretty good looking too!!

I'm really enjoying a matte looking photo, so for this blog post I have edited the photos with a light matte effect. Let me know what you think.

Arlen

Arlen is a country song writer and he wanted some photos for his website (http://www.arlenrussell.com/)

The day of our photo session was the first big snowfall of the season - it was very cold. We met at an abandoned house and trudged through the snow to find the best spots to do the pictures. I was wearing a full snowsuit including hat and mitts!!

Arlen was such a great sport and you would never know by the pictures that it was freezing cold.

 

Laronde Family

I had such a great time with this family taking photos for their Christmas cards. I loved the idea of hanging Christmas ornaments in the trees - it looks so magical.

I also love the cozy winter hats and scarves.

The little girl's hat was made by her very talented grandmother. To see more of her handmade baby clothes you can visit her facebook page: Colette's Collection.

Cavacciuti Family

This beautiful rustic location is right beside this couple's new home! It's so beautiful, just like these two!

They are expecting a baby any day now and they will make the most amazing parents.

This is another session where it was grey and cloudy all day and then just in time for our meeting the sun came out.

Enjoy!

Young Family

I have known this family for a couple years now and I was so excited when they asked me to photograph them. They are so beautiful inside and out and we had a great time walking around the Black Rapid Locks.

The weather was perfect, there were still some colourful leaves on the trees and everyone was full of smiles.

Halloween with the Chapmans

This year my little guy was old enough to go out Trick or Treating. Unfortunately it rained all day and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to bring him out, but it cleared up just as it was time to head out and see what treats the neighbours had to offer.

Here he is all ready to go out. He loved carrying around his bucket and had already put some of his toys in it to start off the journey.

 

 

At first collecting rocks seemed like a much better idea than going door-to-door.

 



Then after giving the pumpkin a little pat for good luck... off we went!

 

The first house went great! And being the polite little boy that he is, he signed "thank you" when he got candy.

 Yes... that is a ping pong ball in his bucket. It was one of the toys he brought from home (don't you love how this is one of his favourite toys when he has so many actual baby toys!!)

 

Once back at our house he helped us, until he realised that we were giving away candy!! Then he started to cry and that was pretty much the end of the night for him.

 

Happy Halloween!!!
