Letkemann Family: Winnipeg Photography

A drive out to the rural outskirts of the city, an early morning sun filtered by thin clouds and a beautiful family is what made this photo session absolutely perfect! Their daughter is almost a year old, and capturing this special milestone is something that I love so much. She toddled around with her cute little feet, she babbled some very interesting but incoherent stories, and had the biggest, beaming smile for so many photos. She even took a few bites of fresh dill and showed off her cool shades. Spending time with a 1 year old is so refreshing! It was an absolute delight to document this moment in time and here’s a handful of the photos we captured.

Micah: First Birthday Photos and Cake Smash

Micah turned one! To mark this exciting milestone, his parents invited me to their home to take some lifestyle family portraits as well as to take photos of a cake smash in their backyard. We used my white paper backdrop, set up the cake and Micah did the rest. 🙂 We finished with a bubble bath and he was so happy the entire time! Happy birthday Micah! You are so cute!

Ivan: First Birthday Photo Session

Turning 1 is a big deal! So going out to the park with the family is a good way to mark this occasion with photos to remember this stage. I’m always so amazed by how different a kid will look like in their early phases of growing up. As a newborn you look SO different from 1 year later at your first birthday, and then beyond that, you look SO different as a 3 or 4 year old. These early stages go by so fast and so much growth and development happens – that’s why I love it when I get to follow my tiny clients along as they transition from tiny newborn human to cuddly & cute roly-poly toddler. Ivan especially has gone from being a super tiny newborn to growing off the charts at 1 and taking his photo every step of his growing life has been such a delight! We took advantage of the cooler mornings on this hot Winnipeg summer year and met up at Bruce Park for their photos. I love all the nature corners our city has to offer and I hadn’t been to this park in a super long time. It was a nice surprise to see how gorgeous the light acts throughout the park and the lovely sceneries we had all to ourselves! 

Clara is 1! Winnipeg Family Photography

8 years ago I was on the beaches of Punta Cana taking their wedding photos… and today I’m taking photos of their incredibly CUTE daughter. Soooo much fun with these 3 who are dear friends of mine. I can’t even handle Clara’s cuteness!

Sitaara: 1st Birthday Photo Session

It was a beautiful October afternoon when I met up with Sitaara and her parents at one of my favourite parks in St. Boniface. She just turned one and we celebrated this huge milestone with some fun family photos out in nature, and finished off with a tasty cake smash at the end! Sitaara is a sweet, shy and adorable little girl – she was a bit reserved at first, but soon warmed up and gave me so many beautiful smiles and candid moments with her parents. She is well loved and so full of brightness – happy birthday little lady!
