Friesen Family Photos at Birds Hill Park

I met up with this fun bunch of people in the early evening glow of Birds Hill Park to take their family photos, and they were all such champs! After only 35 minutes of shooting, we pretty much had gotten a complete collection of fantastic family photos for them! But we kept shooting for the full hour any way and got even more fun photos. These kids have no shortage of ideas for poses & shots so it was fun to follow them along and capture their lovely faces as well as their own unique set ups. 🙂 We also got some “school photos” of each kid. Instead of ordering their photos from school, these guys opt for more natural portraits of their kids, and then print them on small 2×3 prints to give out. What a great idea – nothing like the great outdoors and a natural smile to replace those traditional school photos with fake backgrounds! Here’s a preview of our time at Birds Hill Park yesterday – so happy to see that bright golden sun again after several hazy, dry days…

Winter Mini Sessions: Winnipeg Kid Photography

Winnipeg got its first big snowfall of the year today, and so did my mini sessions indoors! But lucky for these kids, we were warm and cozy inside the studio, for the third round of styled mini photo sessions this year. This time, we’re capping off the year with the cutest, coziest winter scenes to get in the mood for the Christmas holidays! Emily Janzen of Feast & Festivities did a fantastic job at styling both scenes and providing fun props for the kids to enjoy. I think the hit today was the fake snow and the marshmallows. These mini sessions are always so much fun!

If you’d like to take part in the next styled mini sessions, make sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram – that’s where I post the latest news and updates. These mini sessions are such a hit, and we plan on doing another 2 or 3 sessions in 2018 again. See you then!

Summer Styled Mini Sessions: Winnipeg Photography

Summertime is all about ice cream cones, bubbles, smelling fresh flowers and running in the grass bare foot! Winnipeg’s been experiencing such a beautiful summer so I decided it would be a great idea to put together another edition of my styled mini photo sessions for kids, this time outdoors to capture all of that summery goodness we all love! I had the ever amazing Emily of Feast & Festivities style the set and her work reflected exactly the vision I had in mind. She has a way of setting up a scene that promotes such fun & candid moments of kids at play. It was so fun taking all these photos, and as always, the time flies by so fast! But not before thousands of frames of photos were shot on both my cameras. I pulled out a few highlights from last night’s shoot to showcase below. Soon the families will get access to their private proofing galleries to view their images and make their selections. Can’t wait to share more!

Styled Mini Sessions: Kids at Play

Back in March I hosted another round of kids mini sessions, and as always, I got such a great bunch of CUTE kids! The styling by Danielle of Mûr Lifestyle and the florals & garland by Tatiana of Oak & Lily just finished the scene perfectly, and every kid had so much fun playing and reading books. What a delight it is to watch kids at play – each and everyone of them brought such unique personalities and playfulness. Thank you to all who came down, Danielle and I are already talking about planning our next one. Stay tuned for details later this year!
