This past week I got a burst of inspiration to do a woodsy double-exposure portrait shoot with my friend Bev. I didn’t have a location in mind other than I wanted lots of dead tree branches. Who would have thought that Winnipeg’s depressingly ugly Spring would have served me well for a shoot! You make the most with what you have, I guess!
However, these photos are a series I created after my shoot took an unexpected turn. We were out on Bev’s country property, taking photos in the bush, when all of a sudden I noticed this gem of a car… her husband’s old Hornet! So while I continue editing and shooting for my original inspired idea, here’s the set of photos I took after our portrait shoot: Bev and this old car.

Being grandparents one province away is really tough for Jacqueline & Marc, but they manage really well by making the time to roadtrip down to Winnipeg several times a year. And now they have one more reason to make the long drive to Winnipeg – to visit their newest grandchild! (who also happens to be my adorable little niece!) It was great being able to take photos for them during their short visit to Winnipeg – we even had time to squeeze in a few adorable couple photos between the two of them. So here are the proud Grand-Maman and Grand-Papa – cherishing every moment they have with their adorable two grandkids!

You might remember this beautiful bride and her handsome husband from last year’s wedding season… well now I’m excited to say that they have an equally as beautiful (and super cute!) baby of their own! I was thrilled to hear the news of their new addition and just as happy to meet him. What an adorable little boy! He was three months old at the time of the shoot and such a bundle of joy. Now that I have a baby of my own, there’s an extra dose of excitement that comes with photographing other people’s babies. I’m so in love with my own baby girl so when I see that same love between the parents and their new baby, there’s something warm and fuzzy that comes over me. Taking baby pictures has a whole new meaning to me now. They say you don’t know love until you have a child, and although that might be a slight exaggeration or a bit cheesy, it doesn’t change the fact that you definitely FEEL that way. Babies are just so lovable, and capturing those moments in photos makes me so happy!

Bright sunny mornings at my studio is what I love best. With East-facing windows, I always know the light will be gorgeous at that time of day, and coupled with a beautiful family, I knew it was going to be a great session! Tammy and her family were great in front of the camera. They were super easy-going, laughed a lot and had a great family dynamic. We took most of the shots in the studio, but also made a quick stop outside to get some more photos in the Exchange District. Thanks you guys for a great morning at the studio! (and a shout out to Makeup Expressions for doing their makeup for the session!)

Not only does he have a cute name, but he’s also an adorable little newborn! I had the pleasure of taking newborn photos for little Levi last Saturday. We did the entire shoot in their home, taking advantage of the natural light spilling into their bright red living room. Little Levi slept for most of the time, cried when he was naked (can you blame him? he loves to be cuddled!) and opened his eyes for a few photos too. Mom and Dad are beaming with adoration. They are in love with their little bundle, and it was such a delight being able to capture all those special moments.
Congratulations you guys, he is so lovely!
