I had to post a few more of this little guy and of course his proud big brother!  One of the first things out of his mouth was ‘I have a baby brother!!’.  How lucky this baby is to have a big brother like N.  Thanks again guys, your gallery will be up shortly.

As promised, here is a sneak peek from my session earlier today.  Little Mr. J. is only five days old and a total gem.  He was SO alert for such a little one so we had to wait him out for a bit before he decided to take a nap.  It was all well worth it as we got some great shots of him being precious.  Thanks so much K&L for letting me hang out with your family this morning!  And a big thank you to my special helper N, I really appreciated all your help!  More to come, but for now here are a few shots of Baby J…

I had the pleasure of helping Andrea from Brown’s Photography shoot a winter wedding on Saturday.  This couple was amazing which made the day so fun!  The bride was a warrior, braving the elements in her wedding dress…she was amazing.  You guys were so much fun to be around and didn’t complain at all about the chilly temperatures, you rule!  I had to include a few shots of Andrea around who deserves some kudos for her toughness as well.

A few more snow angels from last week.  I love the Olympic gear!

OK, so I’m very excited to be providing photos for 3 covers of Edmonton’s Child Magazine this year.  The magazine is great for families, it has tons of relevant articles and resources and is available pretty much anywhere (Sobeys, Safeway, London Drugs).  So, for the next cover I am looking for some shots of kids doing winter activities!  It doesn’t have to be your child actually doing the activity but at least looking like they are going to do that activity!  Think skis perched beside your child, skates over the shoulder, toboggan….whatever you think.  Even simple winter gear could work, I will bring a toboggan to use as well.

I will be taking models on Saturday, January 16, 2010 from 10:30-12:00.  I will be at the legislative grounds, at the outdoor skating rink across from the parking lot on the South side of the grounds.  You must be okay with signing a model release for your child stating I can use their photos for marketing purposes (web, blog, etc.) and for Edmonton’s Child Magazine.  You will receive 1-3 web images of your child.  These images are sized for emailing or facebook and are watermarked, so are not appropriate for printing.

If you are interested, please drop me an email so I have an estimate of numbers. 

We had a chance to go see the new studio recently.  It’s still under construction but with any luck it will be completed by the end of January.  I took a few shots of the girls while we were there, mostly to test the lighting.  The windows are great and I think the brick wall has a lot of potential. I forgot how hard it is to get a two year old to cooperate so you may notice a lot more shots of the five year old who is an old pro at this by now!

I’ve decided to post some sample announcements in the gallery section instead of through posts…so to check out the announcement samples please check the ‘galleries’ section.  Thanks!
