Winter wonderland – Oakbank Photographer

Kindness is like snow- It beautifies everything it covers.

– Kahlil Gibran

The weather in Winnipeg has been a rollercoaster lately. It has gone from being -40°C to above 0°C in record time. This warmer weather is a treat for us, as we usually don’t see these temperatures until spring!

I was happy to see all of the trees covered in a soft dusting of snow this morning, and decided to drive to Bird’s Hill Park to take some photos of this “winter wonderland” we were graced with (before it melts away).

Bird’s Hill Park the perfect location for photo sessions. There are so many areas in the park to choose from, and they all photograph beautifully. Keep it in mind for your next maternity or family session with me 🙂

Sweethearts – Winnipeg Photographer

Sweethearts have been made from the same simple recipe since 1902, when they were first introduced … In 1997 “True Love” was resurrected from the early 1900’s to celebrate the company’s [NECCO] 150th anniversary.

-Reader’s Digest

These little candies have stood the test of time. They are a Valentine’s Day staple and add a little bit of fun and whimsy to the holiday. I love the soft pastel colours, which are a nice alternative to the traditional bright red and pinks used for so many Valentine’s Day photos.

I’m hoping to use similar colours for my Valentine’s Day mini session; so stay tuned 🙂

Pretty – Winnipeg Baby Photographer

If you think I’m cute now, wait until you see me in my tutu.

-Unknown

Babies in tutu’s are adorable! When I found out I was having a girl, I bought several tutu’s, in a variety of colours! I fell in love with this “Pretty Planks” floordrop by Lemondrop Backdrops, and decided to snap a few photos of my daughter wearing her tutu’s on this beautiful floor. She was not to pleased with the outfit changes, but I managed to capture some of the cuteness while she was happy.

I have a small collection of outfits (for baby girls and boys) and floordrops, that I’d love to use for your next baby session! Contact me to book a date 🙂

Family portrait – Oakbank Photographer

Every child is an artist.

–Picasso

I love the series of images today. My son drew pictures of our family, and although I may be biased, they are pretty great!

Rather than storing a growing pile of artwork he has done, or attempting to glue it all into a scrapbook; taking photos of them is the perfect way to remember his creations.

I plan to frame the family portrait he created today, because it tells a story about this time in our lives (just as a photo would).

If you would like family photos taken, please contact me 🙂

Sleeping babe – Oakbank Family Photographer

When my baby is sleeping that’s when I think, “Wow. I made that.”

–Maria Jose Ovalle

I love watching my children sleep, and always wonder what they are dreaming about. It gives me a moment to reflect on the miracle they both are, reminds me to slow down, and enjoy the small things; All their little features, breathing and warm embrace.

Snuggling my babies will always be a fond memory of mine (and my husband’s). Today I captured our daughter shortly after she fell asleep in his arms. I made an effort to photograph all the tiny details I want to remember from right now, at this time in her life.

I’d love to take photos of your baby as a newborn (and beyond), so you too, can cherish these precious memories 🙂

Birthday boy – Winnipeg Child Photographer

I constantly go between wanting you to be my baby forever, and being excited about all the amazing things you’ll do in this life.

– Unknown

My baby boy turned four today! I decided to have a photoshoot to celebrate today, and was surprised to find all of my props at a little store here in Oakbank.

I love how the photos captured his personality. He is spunky, energetic and confident 🙂

Contact me if you’d like to book a birthday session for your babies and children.

Big lollipop – Oakbank Child Photography

Sometimes you need to talk to a three year old so you can understand life again.

–Unknown

Today Harrison celebrated his last day of being three years old, with a big lollipop 🙂 Three has been an eventful year for everyone. Harrison has grown to be a caring, smart, sensitive, confident and determined little boy. He is a wonderful big brother to his sister Chloe, and loves making her laugh with his goofy nature.

Being a photographer has allowed me to stay home with my children, and I am so grateful for that. Everyone says, “they grow up so quickly” and “enjoy it because it won’t last long”. I’ve learned to love each milestone and accomplishment they achieve; rather than dwelling on the fact that they aren’t going to be “this little forever”.

I have made a great effort to document our family’s special days (and not so special days) – to keep our memories alive. I encourage you to do the same! I’d love to photograph your special memories and offer maternity, newborn, baby, child and family photography packages. Contact me to book a session 🙂

Genes – Winnipeg Baby Photography

A daughter is one of the most beautiful gifts this world has to give.

–Laurel Atheron

I am so grateful to be mommy to two beautiful, healthy children. They are each their own little person with different features and personalities. It is amazing to watch them learn and grow every day and it is neat to see little glimpses of my husband and I within them.

The most common question I am asked is if my husband has red hair – because both of my children have red hair, and my hair is blond. Much to everyone’s surprise, the answer is, “no, his hair is light brown… But I was born with red hair, and my grandmother and his great-grandmother were redheads.”

It is always fun to see which features resemble whom and everyone has an opinion lol. Today I decided to dress my daughter up in one of my own baby outfits (that my parents have kept as a keepsake for the last 35 years). I was able to find a photo of me wearing the outfit – which was perfect to use for comparison. I can see a few similarities, but personally think she has more of my husband’s features.

My photo is on the left. What do you think?

If your family has held onto something you, or your spouse, wore as a baby, I’d love to photograph your baby wearing it a your own baby’s session 🙂

First time ice skating – Oakbank Photographer

Life is slippery. Here, take my hand.

–H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Today, our son Harrison, tried ice skating for the first time. He enjoyed it and was sad when the time ended. The indoor arena here in Oakbank is great, and offers an hour of free skate time every Sunday. The arena was warm enough for us to be comfortable, without too many layers, so I took pictures of him on this little adventure (without freezing my fingers!)

I love watching him experience new things, and wonder what his interests will be as he grows. The candid photos I took today will remind us of this “first” in his life and that makes me happy. A family activity or adventure always make family photo sessions more genuine and memorable. I’d love to capture you and your family doing something fun together 🙂

My flower girl – Oakbank Baby Photographer

I know a girl, she puts the colour inside of my world.

– John Mayer

After seeing a photograph of a baby wearing a flower bonnet, I was smitten, and had to recreate it with my daughter Chloe. I found an online tutorial, went to Michaels to get supplies, and made three different bonnets!

I love how these images turned out. The softness of the backlighting was perfect, and my daughter’s expressions are priceless. The bonnets I made are great for Sitter sessions, and I would love to capture your little one wearing one 🙂
