Aug 22, 2018 | Kids, Mini Sessions
This past Spring our styled mini sessions for kids was once again a huge success and a ton of fun thanks to ALL these adorable kiddos and all the hard work that was put into designing the set! The kids all had so much fun watering the plants, playing hopscotch, riding a tricycle, playing with the skate board and of course running around in all those colourful balloons. They also took a much-deserved break with lemonade and cookies to relax after all that hard work of playing.
It was a great day of back-to-back photo sessions and by the end, I was thoroughly physically exhausted but my heart was so full! There were some familiar faces that I had the pleasure of seeing again… and I also had the privilege of meeting new little faces and getting to know them. Being new to photo shoots or not, it’s easy for these kids to forget they’re being photographed at all, and the results show all of that candid, free-for-all playtime. We love it!
All this would not be possible without the hard work & dedication of Emily Janzen of Feast & Festivities for designing the set and for setting up in between each session to make sure everything looked good. And she did this all while super pregnant – she’s the best! We also want to thank the following vendors for contributing to the scene:
Oak & Lily – greenery and florals
Kate + Norah Co. – mud cloth pot holders
High Tea Bakery – lemon cookies
Our next styled mini sessions for kids will be planned soon so stay tuned for that announcement on my Instagram and Facebook page!

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!

What a fun morning at the park with this crew! The Demers family is so adorable, and these kiddos were so much fun to hang out with. Since they’re more comfortable speaking in French, I had an instant connection with these kiddos and enjoyed some long and lively conversations with them, met all their stuffed animals and had such a blast taking their photos! These guys know how to have fun together and they clearly have a strong loving bond as a family. Here’s a preview of our time at Lagimodière-Gaboury Park:

What a way to celebrate their mom’s big birthday milestone yesterday with family flying in to Winnipeg to gather for a dinner that evening. But first, they coordinated everyone’s schedules in order to take some family photos at the Legislative Building, and what fun it was to meet everyone and to photograph them all! We started indoors and then ventured out to the fountain in the back of the building where we were surrounded by amazingly fragrant lilac trees. These guys were a ton of fun and I’m so glad we were able to capture this beautiful time in their family’s journey!

What joy it was to meet this adorable family and to take their photos! They were in Winnipeg celebrating their wedding anniversary and as part of their day, they decided to include a family photo session to mark the occasion. These kids were so so sweet, so full of smiles, energy and willingness to be in all these photos, I loved it! The kids don’t understand English, yet that wasn’t even a barrier – we communicated through smiles & fun and connected through the experience of them being photographed! Here’s a preview from our time at CMU and then at Assiniboine Forest:
