Family Photography in the Woods

I met up with the Evans family a few weeks ago and we had a fun time running around in the woods, following their two young active boys exploring, finding sticks and collecting colourful leaves. (and yes, even a few leaves were eaten!) It was a gorgeous late afternoon at the right time of year when the leaves are at just the right colour change. Autumn in Winnipeg doesn’t get any better than this! Kids with this much energy definitely keep me on my toes – sometimes it makes me feel like a kid myself as I’m chasing them around! (I love my job) We got a few cute shots and some pretty funny expressions. All in all, the kids had fun, and it was awesome to see the parents right in there, exploring and running around in the woods with them. Here are some highlights from our day at the park!

Winnipeg Family Photography: The Regehrs

101009GT6782I met up with the Regehr family to do some photos a couple weeks ago when Winnipeg was experiencing some gorgeous summer weather in October. And from these photos, you’ll clearly see who the star of the show is! Cute, cute Noah! We walked around the Exchange District, and took some shots around every corner. It was fun photographing this family – super casual, lots of laughter and joking around and totally relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. We got a few posed family shots and some great candid family moments. Check out the face-grab by Noah in the last picture! Poor Grandpa! (as dad laughs!)

Janelle & Barrett – Outdoor Wedding at the Forks, Winnipeg

1339JB4219I’ve been catching up on my blogging lately, which takes me back to a fun wedding I photographed this summer – with an outdoor ceremony on the Red River and some pretty colourful bridal shoes! Janelle and Barrett booked me last year, and shortly after, I had the pleasure of running around Munson Park with them to take some engagement photos. For any of you who has ever bought a gift certificate from me, one of my favourite photos from that shoot is on the gift certificate. LOVE IT. Needless to say, I was looking forward to photographing their actual wedding. It was a hot summer day, and along with their ceremony at the Forks (across from the famous St. Boniface Cathedral), it was a pretty unforgettable experience! I also want to make mention of Janelle’s wonderful wedding coordinator – Allana of F2 Styling & Events – who helped take care of some pretty important details so that Janelle and Barrett could relax and enjoy their day.

Here are few photo highlights from the day! Félicitations Janelle et Barrett !

Winnipeg Headshot Photography

I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Lorraine a few weeks ago to get some professional headshots for her careers as a beauty consultant (for Mary Kay) and newspaper sales manager. Lorraine told me what she wanted her headshot to represent and we headed out to the Forks to take that vision and turn it into actual headshot photos. It was great connecting with her and capturing her openness and dynamic personality. There’s a natural glow about her and combined with her ease of laughter, it was a delight capturing her true self in these photos!

Cute Baby Bump! {Winnipeg Maternity Photography}

Almost 7 months along and lookin’ good! Say hello to the talent behind Hodge Podge Creative, the beautifully pregnant Sarah Hodges-Kolisnyk. Last week, Sarah let me take her through tall mosquito-infested grass to take a few shots of her beautiful belly while the October weather was still nice. Here are some of my favourites – isn’t she adorable?? In a few weeks we’ll be doing some studio maternity photos as well, so stay tuned for that! Congrats Sarah & Nick on baby-R!
