Coffee – Oakbank Photographer

You can do it.

-Coffee

Morning coffee has been routine in our home for as long as I can remember. It’s delicious, warm and comforting, but best of all,  gives you that pick-me-up when you lack energy!

Meeting up for coffee is a great reason to reconnect with friends. The trendy coffee shops and cafes are relaxing and a nice place to unwind. It is also very accessible, especially in Winnipeg, but we also have a drive-thru Tim Hortons here in Oakbank, and it is always lined up with people waiting for their fix.

I am happy to make coffee or tea for my clients when they come to my home for a session. It is especially nice for parents who come for a newborn session, as the session can take up to 4 hours – they can sit back, relax with a hot beverage, and let me do all of the work 🙂

Embellished – Winnipeg Photographer

Embellishment : a decorative detail or feature added to something to make it more attractive.
Today I chose to take photos of some vintage purses that belonged to my grandma and mom. They are in pretty good condition, considering I used them to play dress-up as a child! The detailed embellishments on them are beautiful and subtle.
My own style is fairly simple and I love to incorporate tiny details. I feel that “too busy” is distracting and I take this into account when taking photos. This is why I suggest that my clients dress in clothing without busy patterns, nor large logos for their photo session(s). In addition, I consider the backdrop and background to ensure the focus is on what is important… you and your family 🙂
I’d love to photograph you and your family, and I work in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas. Book your session today!

Adynaton – Oakbank Photographer

When pigs fly.

-Anonymous

This adynaton is used to say “it’ll never happen.” I’ve had this feeling many times throughout my life and have come to realize that, almost anything is possible. When I think back to these times in my life, and remember how unachievable these dreams felt, I feel so grateful to be where I am today.

Many of these dreams were also captured with photos: my wedding day, pregnancy, the birth of my two beautiful, healthy children, and building in our dream home, here in Oakbank! I am so fortunate to live this life and am truly happy.

I’d say that my biggest “when pigs fly” dream, was to resign from teaching to be home with my babies. After this became reality, my next dream was to become a photographer and start my own business, and now again, it’s reality. To further this dream, I plan to build a studio in our basement to focus on my passion – newborn and baby photography 🙂

Whether you live in Winnipeg or surrounding areas, contact me today and book your photo session. I can help you preserve your precious memories and perhaps a few of your own “when pigs fly” moments!

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 🙂
