Lethbridge Weddings & Portrait Photography by Tanya Plonka

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!

It was lovely to meet brand new Parker for his Crowsnest Pass outdoor newborn session at the Miner’s Path in Coleman. We went back to the same location where his mom and dad did their maternity photos and got to capture the changing of the seasons as they waited for his arrival.

Parker’s parents are so in love with him and can’t stop showering him with kisses. He loved hanging out with them in the forest for the morning and even though we were all eaten by mosquitoes, he was lucky and they left him alone! He was so mellow about the whole experience. Parker’s only complaint was that he had to start out in little animal booties and he definitely prefers to be barefoot and feel nature ;)
