Today I had the pleasure of meeting Baby Lucas for the first time! Lucas is the little brother of Dyllan who I have had the pleasure of shooting many times and he is just as adorable as she is. I always love shooting newborns and since Lucas lives an hour and a half away from our city, i have been eagerly waiting for him to come in to visit. he is now 4 weeks old but still so tiny and sweet. I really am amazed how tiny newborns are every single time I see one even though I see them all the time :)

Thanks for the great visit, Jaxen loved playing with Dyllan and it was so great to visit with your mommy and daddy again. I’ll see you again soon so don’t grow too fast okay?

Last year on February 14th we had the pleasure of doing a beautiful valentines wedding for Kristi and Dave. This year we reunited for the valentines weekend and did some more amazing photos with them, this time it was for their maternity shots!! Kristi and Dave are expecting their first baby in March so I drove up to Calgary to help them celebrate!

Kristi is stunning as usual, and honestly, she makes pregnant look AMAZING. Dave and I were in awe at how stunning she looked and we did both a more tradition session as well as a more romantic boudoir session. I am only going to share a few photos from this day but let me tell you that it was really difficult to narrow down just a few favorites. I HAD to include a shot of Kristi’s shirt that has an ultrasound silk screened on it. The baby has a thumbs up and I thought it was the cutest maternity shirt I have ever seen!!

Thanks for letting me shoot in your home, I had an amazing time and I know you’ll love your photos as much as I do :)

Litwin Photography is excited to announce a partnership with Think Pink Photography. Think Pink Photography was founded in October 2007 to support individuals and their families who have been touched by breast cancer. We are a charitable organization that serves two main purposes – celebrating life and supporting the cause.

Through our professional photographer network, we are helping breast cancer patients to celebrate life with charitable photography sessions. Individuals may choose to document their fight against the disease before or during treatment, or prefer to capture their victory by scheduling a session within 12 months after treatment is completed. Photographers world-wide are now available to donate time and talent to celebrate life and support the cause. There is no cost or obligation to the breast cancer patient. Clients participating in a Think Pink Session will receive a complimentary photo session, as well as a set of 10 small prints from the session. They will also receive a discount on any additional portraits they wish to purchase, although there is absolutely no purchase required at any time.

To support the cause, we have partnered with The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. All funds generated through donations and various fundraising efforts are paid directly to The Eric R. Beverly Family Foundation. As a 3-time breast cancer survivor, Danielle Beverly and her husband Eric joined together to form a foundation dedicated to promoting education, increasing awareness, and providing support and resources for families who have been touched by breast cancer.

Please subscribe to our blog (on the Think Pink website) and tell your friends and family about Think Pink Photography. Awareness is everything and we can’t be successful without you.

I encourage you to view our website, make a donation, or hire a photographer that supports Think Pink Photography! If you hire me, mention Think Pink and I will make a personal donation to the organization. If you, or someone you know, would like to schedule a Think Pink session, please contact me for details.

I am very proud to be a network photographer with Think Pink Photography, and am anxious to get the word out about this amazing program. For more information, you can contact me, or you can visit the Think Pink Photography website at:
