I had the pleasure of heading out to play in the coulees last weekend with my little pal Raedyn! We have done photos together before and I am so excited that she is now two and full of beans :) She was super sleepy to start so we hung out with mom, dad and Maggie and picked flowers, then we got a little spunkier and let her doll, “Rock-a-Bye” (baby) take some photos! That definitely got the smiles flowing and all was great in the world again.

I always love seeing the little ones grow and change and Raedyn is no exception, her smile is contagious and her laughter even more so. Thanks for coming out to play! I am so glad the weather FINALLY cooperated for us.

Let me start this blog with a HUGE congrats to Kristi and Dave on the birth of their little guy Adam. I have known Kristi and Dave for just over a year now.  We met them when we shot their gorgeous winter wedding last year and we have since done their maternity session and now they have their beautiful baby boy Adam.

I headed out to their beautiful home on Calgary this weekend to finally meet Adam. He is 7 weeks old now and is growing like a little weed. This guy gave me a smile before I was barely in the door so I knew it was going to be a fantastic morning. He held back on the smiles though once the camera came out and eventually realized that it was indeed funner to smile and turned on the charm once again.

I seriously could have hung out with this little family all day. Kristi and Dave are always so hospitable and Adam was a perfect gentleman (with the exception of the poop he left for daddy in his hockey helmet!) haha. Thanks for letting me come into your home yet again. I loved meeting your little man, and I can’t wait to see him grow and change.

Cel and Joel had their baby girl a couple weeks early and on Tuesday I got to meet their little angel!! Chanel is as sweet as can be and was so great through all of her clothing, hat and headband changes! Her patience was incredible and she really only got upset with us a few brief moments. One of my FAVORITE yelling times was when she was in her little cheerleader outfit so it looked like she was full out cheering! haha I’m a huge fan of Glee so I had to post a photo of her “cheerios” costume on the blog, I LOVE it and who knew you could put a newborn into a build-a-bear costume?!? The things I learn doing my job!!


She was adorable and I can’t wait to see her grow and change.

Congrats guys,

Hope

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 :)
