Lethbridge Weddings & Portrait Photography by Tanya Plonka

This summer I teamed up with a local organization to build up their image library with Lethbridge lifestyle photography. After running a model call on my website, several families were selected to take part in the project. I got to work with such a diverse group of people, from friends to past clients to some new faces! We ended up with so many natural and joyful images for the organization to choose from. Here are some of my favorites!

After the blizzard left mountains of fresh snow outside, Arya stayed warm and toasty in her new home for her Lethbridge indoor family newborn session. She was wide awake the whole time but totally fine with any of the modelling we made her do! Her big sister Evelyn was so excited for their first photoshoot together and brought along her biggest grin. Both girls are so sweet and their mom and dad are so happy to see their family grow.

Everyone dressed in blue to match the colors in their new home, which made all the blue eyes really pop!

At just under a month old, Cashton got in front of the camera for his Fort Macleod newborn family photos with his parents, brothers, and adorable dog Django in the River Valley Wilderness Park. His family is so in love with him that everyone was begging for a chance to hold him in the photos (with the exception of Django). It was a beautiful day for doing outdoor newborn pictures and Cashton was on his best behaviour for his very first photoshoot.

Branegan arrived right on schedule for his family just before Christmas! They celebrated his arrival with an in home newborn photo session while the other kids were out at school. Branegan was so laid back during photos and even though he didn’t really sleep through the session, he trusted us enough to rest his eyes, as long as we kept our promise not to change him. He was happiest every moment he got to snuggle with his mom and dad.

Zenaya was welcomed into the world by a line of strong women and her arrival celebrated with Lethbridge four generation newborn photos. Her mom, grandmother, and great grandmother all took part in her photo session and wrapped her in traditional blankets while she was happy to receive the snuggles! Zenaya did amazing at her session, drifting in and out of sleep and never making a fuss. Her mom was the only victim and received a poop explosion during bare bum time!

Freya and Kol’s mom planned a special photoshoot for them with their grandma and grandpa, aunty and uncle, and “cousin” Corb the dog while everyone was in town for the weekend. After a very quick surprise rainfall, we were able to capture beautiful sun-kissed Henderson Lake summer family photography.

It was so fun to see this group again, especially because Kol is such a new addition and I hadn’t seen Freya since she was a baby! They are such cute kids and everyone in the family is so in love with them. They loved the attention so much, it was hard to do any photos that didn’t involve grandma or aunty!
