Big brother – Oakbank Baby & Child Photographer

This princess is guarded by a big brother.

-Anonymous

Chloe’s first Valentine’s Day is in a few days! A day to celebrate love, and Harrison is already the proud, protective, loving brother we hoped he would be. He is always keen to hold her for photos – but only for a few minutes lol.

Today I took photos using one, of several, Valentine’s Day photo set-ups I have planned. I’m hoping to offer Valentine’s Day mini-sessions next year, so now is the perfect opportunity to try out my ideas.

Morning frost – Oakbank Photography

Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

-Jed Madela (The Christmas Song)

Brrrr… It sure is cold here in Manitoba! Although it is cold, it is still beautiful. This morning I noticed some pretty frost on the glass railing outside our home. The sun was rising, casting soft pastel colours, providing the perfect backdrop for the delicate frost designs.

Despite the cold, I love to do outdoor family sessions in the winter. Contact me if you’d like to book a session 🙂

Playing with fire – Winnipeg Photographer

Do more of what lights your soul of fire.

-Anonymous

Photography lights my soul on fire 🙂 I love the artistic element, meeting wonderful people and giving them timeless photographs they can cherish forever.

Today I took photos in a dark room of a single, lit, candle. I wasn’t at all surprised when my four year old wanted to blow it out, so I safely allowed him to… and I captured some pretty neat images!

Lace – Oakbank Photographer

I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature.

-Coco Chanel

Lace is so pretty, soft and delicate. It is one of my favourite fabrics 🙂  I am using the lace in these photos to make a banner (photography prop). I also have a beautiful white lace maternity gown to use for maternity photos.

These props are available for use when you book your sessions. I offer photography services in Winnipeg and all surrounding areas. Contact me to book your maternity, newborn, baby or child session today!

Messy baby – Oakbank Baby Photographer

I like messy. What fun is tidy?

-Dasha Zhukova

Learning to eat is clearly fun 🙂  Chloe loves making a mess when she eats and has a good time doing so. It’s a challenge for me because mess drives me crazy, but I know it’s part of her development, so I have to relax lol.

I’m excited that she is willing to try new foods… our son Harrison was not as willing as a baby. We have just returned from our trip to Arizona where groceries were CHEAP, even with the poor exchange rate; Four avocados were a $1!

Back to reality, and paying Winnipeg prices, and, back to taking photos on home turf. Contact me to book a newborn, maternity, baby, child or family session.

Baby’s first swing – Winnipeg Baby Photographer

Simple joys… They make the greatest memories.

-Anonymous

Chloe had her first ride in a park swing, and it was adorable. Harrison wanted to push her, which made the moment even more special. This park was a short walk away from where we were staying in Arizona. The beautiful weather, sunshine and lack of bugs made our time there very enjoyable.

Documenting baby’s “firsts” is important to me, and I now have the photos to remember this first for Chloe… and Harrison’s first time pushing his baby sister in a swing 🙂

Green – Oakbank Photographer

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

-Dr. Suess

Tomorrow we head home to Winnipeg; home to sub-zero temperatures and snow. We were so fortunate to have beautiful weather for the entire week we were here in Arizona. I will miss the wearing sandals, walking to the outdoor pool and seeing green. Today I took a few photos to remember what “summer” weather feels like 🙂

Play – Winnipeg Photographer

Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.

-Diane Ackerman

Today we explored The Children’s Museum of Phoenix. There were three floors with interactive displays, a climbing apparatus, a beautiful art room and much more. Harrison had a great time and they even had areas set up for babies, so Chloe played too 🙂

Here are some of my favorite photos from our time there:

Under the sea – Oakbank Photographer

Just keep swimming… what do we do, we swim, swim, swim.

-Dory [Finding Nemo]

We spent some time at the Sea Life Aquarium today and it was amazing! There were so many beautiful sea creatures and I was happy that I had my camera with me. I took plenty of photos and could have spent all day there taking more, these are a few of my favourites 🙂

First swim – Winnipeg Baby Photographer

I love you like a fish loves water.

-Anonymous

Chloe went for her first swim! She was very happy splashing about with her daddy and brother. I’m so glad I captured this fun family time and this Arizona winter weather sure beats Winnipeg’s, and we are taking full advantage of that 🙂
