FEELING FESTIVE WITH THE "C" FAMILY

I had the pleasure of meeting the "C" family last week for some holiday themed pictures. As soon as I walked in the door I felt comfortable with this adorable family and was excited to take pictures in front of their gorgeous fireplace and take to the outdoors for a few shots before we all froze to death with the crazy Alberta winds!

Getting kids to smile and look at the camera isn't always an easy task but with the bribe of Timbits after our shoot Ellasyn was quite cooperative ;) And before anyone asks no I didn't Photoshop Greg and Abrielle's eyes, they are just naturally that gorgeous shade of blue!

MORE OF GREYDEN

Greyden was such a little doll I couldn't resist posting a few more pictures of him in black & white too! Look at his lower lip, its so pouty and gorgeous.I've said it before and I'll say it again I love a sleeping baby!!!






Check out Hooked on Hats to see the full shoot with all the adorable custom crochet hats

FALL FRIDAY

hahah how ironic that I finally get some nice pictures in the leaves edited and ready to post and today is the first real snowfall!! Oh well I'm determined to not accept that winter is right around the corner and will still pretend I can wear flip flops :)

Tina, of Stride Photography, and myself decided to head out last week to take some pictures of the kids in the leaves before they all blew away. Roman loved crawling/walking through all the crunchy leaves and it looks like Abby had a good time too in her new owl hat. If you want to see more of the shoot check out my Facebook page Captured by Karissa, and if you haven't already go like it!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween! We went to a kids Halloween party on Friday and the costumes and the little kiddies were to die for. I loved the portrait set up too, not to mention my little homage to PEI aka Lester the Lobster



My adorable monster playing in the leaves

wee little Franken-Monster (sooo sweet)


and the creepy zombie conductor. Happy Trick-or-Treating!

BABY GREYDEN

I had the pleasure of meeting little Greyden this past weekend when he was only 9 days old and my oh my what an adorable teeny tiny little bundle he is. He was only 6lbs 1oz when he was born and its hard to believe that my little baby was that size just a year ago. There really is nothing quite like the smell and cuddles from a newborn! Apparently it was a bit chilly for Greyden so these were some of the only naked(ish) shots, he preferred to be swaddled snug as a bug instead!


Watch for another post featuring Greyden as my newborn model for Hooked on Hats, my custom crochet hat business! On a side note I have been busy buying templates and deciding on photo packages. Don't you just love my new blog boards?
