BELATED FIRST YEAR SHOOT

Lindz and I had big plans to do a first year photo shoot with Chase but we kept running out of time in between vacation and the lack of an apparent summer in Calgary. We finally got a lunch hour to do a few shots. Chase was feeling very serious that day but I think we still got some great shots. Enjoy!

No smiles here for Karissa while there are raisins to deal with...

This one just kills me!!

It was getting close to nap time and Chase was winding down


Mom, I'm tired, take me home please!

MICHELLE IS ALMOST A MOM

Well its been quite awhile since I posted. With summer trying to peak through in Calgary Ive been out playing, sans camera. But I'm back at it capturing the magic moments of pregnancy. Michelle and I had a total blast taking pictures tonight around town, wandering down random alleyways and wondering if the storm was going to hit or if we would get home dry. Luck was on our side and we missed the storm and found some amazing spots to shoot.

Enjoy a few teasers of the beautiful Mother-to-be, I cant believe she is due in a months time!

I am in love with this purple wall!!!

A fave shot of the night, you can tell how nasty the sky is in the distance but Michelle was a champ.
Lots of love for the belly and baby Daniel

Fierce alley shot, Michelle totally rocked it.. and look at those skinny little legs

Thanks again Michelle for such an awesome shoot! I had a blast and I cant wait to edit the rest

MIKE & MICHELLE TIE THE KNOT Part Two

I finished editing the rest of the wonderful backyard wedding and here are the results. I loved that their cat 'Little Guy' was the ring bearer, he actually came in on a lease with the rings, it was priceless!


Waiting for his bride, you can just see the excitement, no nerves here.

Daddy giving his little girl away, always a bittersweet moment

Not a dry eye in the house, you can see the Mother-of-the-bride dabbing at away the happy tears

I just love the expression on the Justice of the Peace. It makes me excited to hear them say I do

This picture captures the emotion of the whole day, there was just so much love to be had!

You may kiss the bride! This sequence is my ultimate favorite

Newlyweds stolen away for a few pictures. Congrats to you Mike & Michelle, next up is the arrival of Daniel

FIRST BIRTHDAYS

Well its been a full year (and a bit now as this is a bit of a late post) since Chase entered into the world. I cant believe how fast time flies. Now hes toddling around the house and trying to form words.

The serious boy on his birthday, not quite sure what to make of all this

The little man celebrated his birthday a week and a half ago with Crave cupcakes and from the looks of it he agrees that you just cant go wrong with Crave!

...the aftermath & resulting mess!!

MIKE & MICHELLE TIE THE KNOT

I had the pleasure of being the photographer at Mike & Michelle's intimate backyard wedding this afternoon. What a great way to do it, only immediate family members surrounded by blooming lilac bushes and apple blossoms! It was a very low key wonderful stress-free affair. Enjoy a few teasers from the day.

Getting ready to walk down the isle



The "I do's" were exchanged and tears were shed and the happy couple were pronounced husband and wife



Stay tuned for more images soon! Time to edit
