White Leather Newborn Photo Album

How do you enjoy and display your newborn photos? Geneviève’s parents chose this option: a gorgeous 8×10 white leather bound photo album containing high-quality photographic paper flush mounted onto sturdy pages. This album was crafted with style and simplicity in mind and will last for generations to come. Here’s a preview of their album!

Winnipeg Winter Engagement Session at the Hamilton Building

I met up with these two as they were celebrating their recent engagement in Winnipeg. It was a cold winter day, so we started the session indoors at Winnipeg’s beautiful and historic Hamilton Building on Main Street. But a winter photo session wouldn’t be complete without going outdoors in the snow so we then headed to St. Vital Park to capture a few more portraits. Congratulations to these two lovebirds, who will be heading out of country for their wedding in just a few short months!

August: Family Photography in Winnipeg

Stephanie & Mike just added a second little kiddo to their family and to help celebrate the new addition, we all got together for a fun indoor family photo session in the middle of January. We all know how quickly the baby stage goes by, so it was important that we book the session right away and capture some of the unique dynamics a family enjoys when kids are still really young. August was a champ, sporting his fancy bow tie and giving adorable smiles in between a few grumpy spells. Emily is amazing at her job as big sister, giving her baby brother tons of kisses and cuddles throughout the session. I had a lovely time with the four of them and I’m happy that they now have these photos to remember this time in their family journey!

Jude – Newborn Photography

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Jude for a mini newborn session in his home when he was just an 11-day-old newborn. He is the cutest little peanut ever, with his big inquisitive blue eyes and furrowed brows. He also gave us a few sleeping shots including sleep smiles. He just melts my heart! His mom loves sharks, so naturally she wanted one included in the photos. Newborn shark snuggles… what could be cuter?

Christy and Byron started their journey to parenthood in Spring of last year. Unbeknownst to Byron, Christy had found out she was pregnant but decided to wait before telling him the news. First, she wanted to plan a special moment to reveal the news to him. That perfect moment came as a beautiful sunny evening under cherry blossoms with one extra element to it: me and my camera!

And so it happened – Christy finally told him the biggest news ever: they were going to become parents together, and the surprise and joy that I captured on camera is absolutely priceless. They shared in that moment, taking in the news but not fully understanding what it meant until this past January, when Jude was born. They are madly in love with him and I’m seeing it in the way they care for him and gush about him. Jude’s story is just beginning, and it has been a great privilege for me to take photos for them. 

Below are some of Jude’s newborn photos, but you can click here to see the photos from Christy’s pregnancy reveal session.

Mara + Stefan: Engagement Photography at the Winnipeg Airport

160220GT6015

Mara & Stefan’s relationship has traveled over many miles (literally) so the idea to do their engagement photos at the Winnipeg Airport was perfectly fitting. The location has gorgeous natural light and modern architecture – and combined with Mara’s travel-themed props, the photos reflected a lot of their journey together as a couple. They are absolutely adorable, as much on camera as in real life, and knowing that Mara is now joining my extended family, I couldn’t be happier!

This is part 1 of their engagement session. Part 2 was an outdoor session in the woods, and those photos will be blogged soon too. Congratulations on your engagement you two loveb160220GT5803 160220GT5819 160220GT5832 160220GT5886 160220GT5898 160220GT5909 160220GT5977 160220GT5986 160220GT5992 160220GT6015 160220GT6045 160220GT6063 160220GT6093 160220GT6119 160220GT6130 160220GT6147 160220GT6167 160220GT6180 160220GT6267 160220GT6305 160220GT6311 160220GT6339 160220GT6341 160220GT6374 160220GT6388 160220GT6392 160220GT6407 160220GT6422 160220GT6433 160220GT6486 160220GT6564 160220GT6584 160220GT6616 160220GT6675 160220GT6681 160220GT6719 160220GT6800 160220GT6814 160220GT6828 160220GT6850 160220GT6921 160220GT6937 160220GT6945 160220GT6983 160220GT7010 160220GT7032 160220GT7038 160220GT7066 160220GT7140 160220GT7146 160220GT7181irds!
