Cards - in time for Christmas

In time for Christmas, new templates! Yeah.

Card designs are $75 for a high resolution file (so you can print all you like, where you like.)

I can also order you folded cards - contact me for prices.

If you purchased the Portrait Package (which also includes a 16x20 Canvas), your card design is included. Just pick your background, and your picture(s) and I will put your design together for you. (You can upgrade from the Portrait Session, if you like).

All cards are customisable for colour and text.

Deadline for ordering cards (to get them in time for Christmas) is December 15. For folded, printed cards, December 5th.

If you're having trouble getting organised for Christmas, don't worry. People would love to see your family pictures just as much in January or February!

There are other designs here , if you prefer something a little more traditionally Christmas and here, for baby cards.

Saige

Saige is all grown up. She's out carousing and crashing cars.

Just kidding. But she does stand on crashed cars.



But really, she's still pretty little.


And lovely.


She loves her Mama.

And her Daddy makes her laugh.
(I love these two pictures!)











Her Mama and Daddy love her a lot. There's plenty of kissing in this family.

Playing.

Saige is so funny.

After our out door shoot, we went back to their house, and Saige entertained us for an hour with her hiding in the cupboard in the entertainment unit, putting her monkey to bed, then having to fix the bed because it broke. She's one sparky little girl, with awesome parents.



It was wonderful to see you all again!

Riel, mon belle

This is Riel. Named after that Riel. Cool. And would you expect anything else coming from such a cool family? We got a little smile in this one.



I am loving my mother/child pictures right now. This rocks.

And Daddy's pretty cool too. You can see the edge of Riel's moss bag in this shot.

Family portrait. Cat included.

This is the lovely Zea. She can spin and dance like nobody's business.

Adores her brother.
Another family portrait. Becky and Marc have such a great house, I wanted to capture some of the background. Its such a warm and inviting place.
I did the post processing on this picture two ways. I'm liking the second, but that just might be me, trying new things. Let me know what you think.


Wonderful to spend time with you!

This is . . .

This is . . .


Jacob. With his home-grown pumpkin. How awesome is that?
I took photos of Jacob the summer before last in Fort McMurray. It was great to see him (and his mom!) again.
He has eyelashes to die for.








I used this truck for Meagan and Kelly's wedding, and Kelly's mom and brother kindly let us use it for Jacob's photos. He had a lot of fun driving it - pretending he was driving the big trucks in Fort McMurray.


Boys and sticks. Is there a stick they don't like? This one looks a little "Where the Wild Things Are" to me.

Jacob - thank you for sharing your cars with my boys (who came along for this shoot). It was wonderful to hang out with you.

Introducing Anabelle

I KNOW that Erin has been waiting patiently to see these pictures - and here we are:

Jeremy and Erin adoring their new baby girl.

Is she not the sweetest, fattest, squishable baby ever?!

I had to get a close up of her lip.

And her sweet feet.

Aidan and Ethan are pretty happy about their new baby sister.
Look at that grin.
Daddy and Anabelle.

Daddy and his boys.

Erin and Jeremy have the coolest bedroom. They've recently renovated their house, and it looks great. I love this family picture.

The boys really wanted to include props in their pictures. Here they are giving Anabelle her welcome home from the hospital presents.

Being October and all, we couldn't not take a Halloween picture of the sweet little pumpkin.

Welcome to the world baby girl!

Third year running!

This is the third year running I've photographed Michelle, Chris, Matthew and Emily. It is so wonderful to see Matthew and Emily grow.

This is my new favourite picture - very Madonna and Child. Michelle is so beautiful.

We've done our photos outside for the last two years, but the weather refused to co-operate this year, so we headed to the Muttart Conservatory, which is a great space for family pictures.

Co-incidently, Michelle and Chris were married here. I got this awesome shot of Emily pointing that out.


Matthew is an awesomely engaging child. He's smart, clever, funny, and can escape from dinosaurs.


Emily, on the other hand, likes to fly with them.



Emily has the most amazing eyes - her stare is direct and engaging.

She's a little on the shy side, but soon got over that.

Matthew is so cool.




I love, love, love this picture.

The stare again.

More coolness.

And, just so you don't think it all goes smoothly . . .

It was wonderful to work with you again!
