Baby Easter Bunny

Hoppy Easter everyone!

Baby :: River

Even though I'm on holidays this weekend, I couldn't resist getting together with this precious little angel for a session. Little Miss River is so adorable. She's 11 months old and she already has teeth, is walking and is learning to speak! Her face has so many adorable expressions, I wish I could have posted them all here.... but since I couldn't, feel free to check out her facebook album by clicking here.

Mmmm.... Cheerios...

Oh hello there!

Hi!

My mister moose!

Baby :: Liam

Today I met a very sweet little man. Baby Liam is 8 months old and such a cutie! I left with the biggest baby crush ever! I had such a great time this afternoon at his session with him and his family. I couldn't wait to get home and upload his photos! You can see a few of them below and you can see his facebook album here.

Wedding :: Jennifer + Patrick

Sometimes couples prefer to have lots of friends with cameras throughout their big day, and only have a photographer for 1-2 hours. That's exactly what Jenn + Pat wanted for their medieval theme wedding and I was more than happy to oblige. Here are a few shots from their wedding yesterday.

Baby :: Colton

Just a quick snapshot from Colton's session this weekend. He is 4 months old this month but is much bigger than your average 4 month old. I can't imagine how big he will be by his 6 month session!

Maternity :: Megan + Darren humour Cheesy Chelsey

Okay so I'm not an overly cheesy person... well maybe sometimes, but generally not. This photo however, was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. Thank you to Darren and Megan for humouring me.

Maternity :: Megan + Darren

One of the running jokes in this city is about our crazy and always changing weather. Calgarians weren't surprised by this latest dump of snow to start off April 2011, but we were more than a little dissapointed. What I like about Calgary is that you can just go with the flow, no matter the weather. Originally Megan + Darren had been hoping for an outdoor maternity session to commemorate their pregnancy. Over 20 centimetres of snow in less than 20 hours sort of put a hamper on that plan....but this is why we as Calgarians are believers in back up plans! This was my first (primarily) indoor maternity session and I quite enjoyed it. Megan + Darren are a very fun and friendly couple and it was a pleasure to photograph them this morning!

Check out the reading material....

You can tell how much I love this one, I slapped an address watermark on it to use it for the Wishing Star Gallery's facebook page.

Isn't she just too adorable?

Comparing sizes

We went outside for a few shots and the constant downpour of snow made it interesting!

Puppy Project

I wasn't going to post any photos about my adventure at Deerfoot Meadows Petland, but in the end I changed my mind. I wanted to thank the store and staff for letting me come in to photograph some of the pets for my photo project for school. As usual, the staff was very helpful and friendly. Overall even though I left smelling of puppy pee and drool it was a great experience. For those who don't know, my chocolate lab (Hartigan) is a Petland puppy, or should I say he was. He went to the pet store for rabbit food and we left three hours later with a puppy. He is more than just our dog, he's our furbaby and he's loved dearly.
