Night – Oakbank Photographer

Dear Mind,

Please stop thinking so much at night. I need to sleep.

-Anonymous

I am definitely an over-thinker and am always striving to do my best – as a mother, wife and photographer. Planning, schedules, and general organization keep me sane 🙂

I have a hard time sitting still and am always on the go, which allows me to get everything done… or almost done lol.

As your photographer, I can assure you, the best service, products and communication I can offer. Whether you’re in Winnipeg, or a surrounding area, book your session today. I’d love to help you preserve your precious memories!

Practice – Oakbank Baby Photography

Just keep trying, it’s all you can do.

-Anonymous

Chloe has been “almost” crawling for a few weeks now. She gets into the proper position, rocks back and forth a little, then sits back down on her bum (or slides flat onto her tummy). She manages to scooch from one place to another, and I know it’s just a matter of time before she figures out crawling and then I will have to baby-proof the house!

I remember being concerned with my son Harrison, not reaching certain milestones “on time”, and now again, with Chloe, I find myself wondering why she hasn’t mastered certain skills yet. That being said, I know that every child is different and moves at his/her own pace; and that’s okay!

This is the reason I offer my Sitter session for babies 6-8 months old; rather than at one specific age. Contact me today to book your baby’s sessions – I offer packaged deals 🙂

Shoes – Oakbank Baby Photography

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.

-Marilyn Monroe

I love shoes, boots and sandals. They complete an outfit, come in so many different styles and colours, and always fit 🙂 When I found out I was pregnant with Chloe, I bought her shoes (of course). She is not yet walking, but that hasn’t stopped me from finding her adorable footwear. I keep them in a basket in her room and she loves to dig through them, play with them, and chew them lol.

Today I took a photo of her, amongst her little collection of shoes. It’s hard for me to donate her little clothing when she outgrows things, and having a photo like this is the perfect solution to remember these items without hanging onto everything.

When you have a photo session with me, I encourage you to dress your children in clothing you love – so you too can remember how little they were and their cute little wardrobe!

Contact me today to lock in a date, and feel free to bring an outfit change to your session.

Playful – Oakbank Child Photographer

A playful path is the shortest road to happiness.

-Bernie Dekoven

I love the playful nature of children, and pure happiness, that can be captured when they are engaged in play. Thankfully, I’m developing a large collection of  photos like these of my children. Their candid moments represent life as it was at these exact moments. This “lifestyle” type of photography is natural and tells a story.

If you would like a candid lifestyle session, contact me today 🙂

Words – Winnipeg Photographer

Words can inspire. And words can destroy. Choose yours well.

-Robin Sharma

I love this quote, and believe it to be true. Language and communication are such powerful tools in the relationships we build, and hold with others. I am a very empathetic person and always take into account what I say, and how I choose to say it.

My business, Kristin Tiffany Photography, allows me to meet and communicate with so many wonderful people. I always strive to have excellent communication with my clients to ensure they have the best experience with me.

The words I’ve chosen in this series of photos, represent my life, my brand, and what I hope to capture in my photographs. Contact me today to book your session, and I can show you the wonderful service I offer to each and every one of my clients 🙂

Hard light – Oakbank Baby Photographer

Let your light shine.

-Anonymous

Today I took photos of Chloe in the sunlight shining thorough my bedroom window. Hard light is challenging, and it creates strong shadows, but after editing them in black and white I think they turned out beautifully.

This has been our first year, in our home here, in Oakbank. As time passes, and the seasons change, I am learning where and when the sun light shines through the many windows throughout the house.

I do not use a flash, and rely on natural light. When you book a session with me, I take into account the time of day, and the type of light available,  to ensure you receive the style of photos you hope for.

Lanterns – Winnipeg Photographer

Be my lantern, help me shine through.

-The Ready Set

This series of photos was taken at the Lights of the World display in Arizona. It featured many beautiful representations of elements from different countries. The Chinese lanterns were my favourite. They light they shone was soft, and highlighted the pretty hand-painted flowers featured on their shades.

While editing the photos, I discovered that if I zoomed in, and cropped the images in a creative way, the result looked like water colour paintings. This reminded me to keep my artistic eye sharp, when creating and finishing photos.

I always offer my clients my best work and would love to be your photographer. Contact me to book your session today 🙂

Heirloom – Oakbank Baby Photography

Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell.

-Louisa May Alcott

Today I took photos of Chloe wearing the Christening gown my mom wore in 1955! I am thankful that my grandma kept this gown, and a pair of my mom’s baby shoes. My grandma also kept a photograph of my mom wearing the Christening dress – and although it is a little blurry – it still tells a story. It is amazing these items have been passed through generations of my family; and now I get to share them with my daughter.

I look forward to showing Chloe the photos I took of her today (wearing the items her grandma wore over 60 years ago), when she is old enough to understand how special it was. I love how photos capture our memories and help us remember the past.

Let me help you preserve your family memories. Contact me today to book a photo session 🙂

Carousel – Winnipeg Photographer

Life is a carousel. It goes up and down. All you gotta do is just stay on.

-Pharrell Williams

There is something very intriguing about carousel rides. As a kid, going to Tinkertown (just outside of Winnipeg), to ride the Merry-go-round was exciting… the interesting lights, music, movement, and choosing your favourite animal was alluring.

The carousel featured in this series of photos, is located in the Arizona Mills Mall. During our family trip to visit my in-laws, we stopped here for lunch, and found this gem beside the food court. Although the ride was closed for the day, I had my camera with me, and was able to take a few photos – before being told that no cameras were allowed in the mall !?!

I plan to take my children to Tinkertown this summer. It’s the perfect location for fun, candid, family photos. Contact me if you’d like to book a fun family session 🙂

Abandoned – Oakbank Photographer

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

– Confucius

I have driven by this abandoned homestead many times and today I finally had the chance to photograph it! I’m not sure of its history but that is what lured me in. I love old, abandoned buildings and the stories they tell. This particular homestead is located just off the highway from Oakbank to Dugald.

I was a little nervous about the road leading up to it, it was very muddy, and today’s weather made it extra soupy. I almost got stuck on the way in and thankfully made it out in one piece. Another fear came over me as I was walking knee deep in snow approaching the property; I wondered if any wildlife had moved in for the winter. Luckily nothing growled, scampered, or swooped at me!

If anyone recognizes this homestead and can give me a bit of its history, I’d love to hear it.  Locations like this provide great, interesting backdrops for photo sessions (permitting we are not trespassing). Contact me, to book a session, and we can scout out some neat locations 🙂
