Lethbridge Weddings & Portrait Photography by Tanya Plonka

Tahlia’s parents waited a little longer to do her Lethbridge newborn photography, but she was still so tiny and sleepy! The sweet newborn felt so comfortable with her mom and dad that she snoozed through the beginning of her photos, then woke up and got really happy and excited… and then repeated the cycle :)

Her mom and dad are head over heels for her and Tahlia knows it!

Just after Blake arrived home, I got to meet her for her indoor newborn baby session. She was so curious during her photoshoot that we got to see her big blue eyes in nearly every photo! Even though she was kind of upset with what we were asking of her, she is so happy around her mom and dad that there were no shortage of smiling photos in between any crying.

Why travel anywhere when you have a fun pop of colour at your own home? Lynn and Ward celebrated the arrival of their first grandchild Wesley with backyard fall family photos. Their yard came with a real statement piece with their red barn-style shed, which complemented the fall leaves on the ground.

Wesley was definitely the star of the show with everyone taking turns holding him for photos. I loved his little red vest – major Marty McFly vibes!

Most people go for newborn photos of their babies, but babies get so fun when they can sit up on their own! Maskeen had just hit that age when his parents scheduled his indoor winter baby photos at their house.

Maskeen took a little while to warm up to having a stranger in his house but once he did, his big smiles that he’s known for came out! We cycled through all of his cute outfits before getting him toasty in his blue tracksuit and going for a quick visit to snowy Henderson Lake.

With the arrival of Kaeson, his family was complete! Not too long after his birth, they scheduled their autumn newborn family photos (along with dog Lily). We had a perfect day in Indian Battle Park as the first fall colours were coming in.

Kaeson’s big brothers were so good with him, though he was usually still happiest in Mom’s arms! He did so great for his first photoshoot.

Adelaide’s parents moved back here to be closer to family, so that meant I got to see her right away for her Lethbridge newborn family photos once she arrived! We did the photos at their home to keep everyone warm and her big sister Daenerys got to help out every step of the way. Adelaide was so chill through her photoshoot. Even though she stayed awake until the very end, she barely fussed. These sisters must love photography!
