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 🙂

Keepsakes – Winnipeg Photographer

Keepsake: an object of sentimental value.

It is amazing how an object can trigger our memories. They can take us back in time and help us remember. Both of my parents are fairly sentimental and have held on to many family items (perhaps too many!). Today I decided to photograph some of the items they’ve kept as keepsakes.

These items were given to my parents in the hospital, from family and friends, following the birth of my brother and I. They are now considered “vintage” and although I obviously do not remember the time they were gifted to my parents, they’ve been kept safely tucked away in storage…to preserve the memories associated with them.

Photos are the most precious keepsake one can treasure. Not only do they trigger memories of significant times in our lives, they capture moments in time. Now that we are living in a digital age, it is so easy to backup our photos to the computer and let them remain there…tucked away in storage. I declare we print our favourite pictures, display them in our homes, and create albums that can shared with generations to come!

I offer prints and an array of keepsake items with each of my Newborn, Maternity, Babies & Children, and Family packages. I’d be more than happy to help you showcase your memories 🙂

Bubbles – Winnipeg Child Photographer

May all your troubles be bubbles.

– Unknown

Candid and carefree… these are my favourite photos to capture. Today I took photos of my son in the bath; drinking the water, sliding around, blowing and catching bubbles. He loved the big bubbles best, was pretty determined to catch them, and when he did, he’d say, “I catched it”. He’s turning four next week and I hope his carefree, curious and confident personality follows him for years to come.

The candid nature of today’s photos, and my final editing choices, truly represent my son at this time in his life. I love how the black and white images are dramatic and have a different feel than the softly coloured ones. I take the time to edit each individual photo and decide what style best represents the captured moment.

I would love to photograph you and your family, and guarantee that the same time and care is given to your own images after a session with me 🙂

Macro flowers – Winnipeg Photographer

Mere color can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.

–Oscar Wilde

I love colour, and usually prefer a softer pallette, for photographs and my macro lens helps create some beautifully soft images. Today I took photos of the flowers used for yesterday’s milk bath, and played around with some interesting crops while editing.

It is inspiring to see how nature combines colour. This inspiration can be used when planning your own photo sessions; From the clothing you choose for your maternity or family session, to the props used for your newborn or baby session. I am always willing to suggest a pallette that works for you…one that will ensure that your photos will look perfect hanging on your walls 🙂

A boy and his lovies – Winnipeg Family Photographer

Lovey: An object that helps comfort small children during stressful periods of growth and change.

-kveller.com

Our little man woke up at 5:00 this morning. It didn’t take us long to realize he wasn’t feeling well. As parents, it is so hard to see your child sick and uncomfortable, and try to help in any way that you can. All he wanted to do today was relax on the couch with his lovies (Puppy, Tiger and his Thomas blanket).

These three items give him comfort; I’m not sure why, but they do. He sleeps with them at night, and brings them out with him in the morning. Whatever his reasons were for choosing these things to hold dear, I’m glad that I had the chance to photograph him snuggling them.

Feel free to bring along your child’s special lovey for your next baby & child session.

Dogs are family too – Oakbank Family Photographer

Old dogs, like old shoes, are comfortable. They might be a bit out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well.

–Bonnie Wilcox

These Italian Greyhounds were our first babies and have been with us for so many special family memories. The grey coloured male is Polo (11 years old) and the fawn coloured female is Sadie (9 years old).

I have taken plenty of photos of these two over the years, and it saddens me to see them aging; knowing that they may not be with us for much longer. This pairing is definitely a challenge and are defiant and sneaky, but their misbehaviour is quickly overlooked because they are so darn cute! They love cuddles, attention and curling up in our laps.

I will continue to photograph them, for as long as they are with us, so we can look back and remember. Feel free to bring your own pets along for your next family photo session 🙂

Subtle Winter Beauty – Oakbank Photography

What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?

– John Steinbeck

Living here in Manitoba during the winter months can be tough. Winnipeg is infamous for its winter weather, but if you look close enough, you will find it to be quite beautiful. Today I bundled up (put on my Sorels, snow pants and down-filled jacket) and ventured out to capture some hidden winter beauty. Passers by likely wondered why a photographer was waist deep in the snow at the side of the road, but I really enjoy macro photography! Here is what I found…

Tiny Rainbow :: Day 6 | Project 365

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

– Maya Angelou

While driving into Winnipeg along the Perimeter Highway early this afternoon, I had to pull over to snap a photo of this tiny winter rainbow. I later learned that this tiny rainbow is actually referred to as a sundog, and is a common atmospheric phenomenon in the Arctic!

Our weather here in Manitoba today, fit the criteria for creating this little beauty:

Sunlight
Ice crystals
Cirrus clouds
Bitterly cold temperatures

Shadows – Oakbank Child Photography

All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.

-Leo Tolstoy

As a photographer, I am always learning how light and shadows affect the mood of my photographs. I usually prefer the look that soft light and soft shadows cast, but today, I used hard light while taking some photos of my son. This was the result…
