Today’s blog will be something a little different. Earlier this week I photographed my co-worker Lori and her son Luka, catching the tail-end of the autumn colors here in Lethbridge. Since Lori is a writer, she asked if she could write a guest blog, and I couldn’t resist! (I’m also glad I don’t have to write it because my finger is bandaged from a cut and it is very difficult to type properly!)

It’s not Black and White (more…)
The winter weather finally cleared up (hopefully for more than a few days!) so my day was filled with a bunch of “autumn colors” photos… even though there aren’t many autumn colors out there after the trees had the snow shock hit them! (Luckily I can fake it a bit, hehe).
The first shoot of the day was with Paula and Dean, and their two cuties Mackenzie and Kahlan. These girls were adorable little models and excellent at posing – until we got distracted by all the crunchy leaves! I hope you all had fun playing in the leaves with me :)
Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting this fun family from Fort MacLeod down in Indian Battle Park. I had a fantastic time as the weather was gorgeous and they were so nice (and easy to make laugh!). They may not have believed me at the time that doing silly things like staring at each other with faces really close would look “magical,” but I’m glad they played along :)
I finally got to meet little Eva! I am photographing her mom and dad’s wedding this July and over the last few months I have heard lots about her… and she is such a sweet baby! She was pretty patient with us even though it was so hot and modeling can be quite tiring. Eventually she let us know she was done, and totally zonked out for the last few photos :)
I will be seeing Chris, Alisa, and Eva again very soon!

This week I was able to photograph a portion of one of my favorite families again when Chrysline and Michael brought out little Mahlia for her 11 month photos; we had to do them a little before one year so they’d be ready for the big birthday party! Mahlia is another one of those adorable babies who I have seen through from maternity photos. :) It’s so awesome to see her almost standing on her own and having her personality really start to shine. She is such an easy going girl; even though she was still a little sick with a cold, she didn’t cry, and we even got quite a few smiles out of her!
I can’t believe Sophia is already two! I’ve had the fortune to photograph this little girl since she was only a baby bump. Actually, her maternity photos were done while I still worked at Sears! During that session I found out her mom Laura was from the Crowsnest Pass, where I am originally from, and though we had just missed each other in high school by about a year, we have been in touch ever since. I’ve been able to photograph little Sophia when she was teeny tiny, and last year when she turned one. You may have seen her feet throughout my website ;)
This last weekend while I was in the Pass to photograph some friends getting married (photos of that coming soon!), Laura brought Sophia out to the scenic Leitch Collieries for some photos to celebrate the momentous 2 year occasion. I wish Leitch Collieries was closer to Lethbridge… the best way I can describe the location for photos is EPIC! At least in the CNP, it’s only a five minute drive from my house :)
It took a lot of chasing to get most of these photos, but oh goodness she’s so cute!
