Baby ‘V’ {newborn}

One quick glance at lil Miss V and you know exactly who she belongs to. So much family resemblance! Nothing short of an angel, my time with her was precious.

I was so happy that I got to spend time with this family before they moved out-of-state. Their dear faces will be sadly missed. Texas is lucky to have them.

The ‘F’ Family

I got to spend a lot of time with this lovely family. We had family, maternity and little ‘R’s portraits to accomplish in our afternoon together. And little man ‘R’ is about as cute and stylish as they come. He’s such a character I couldn’t look at him without cracking up! It makes me wonder what is in store for baby #2?!

I’m obsessed with olive trees so I was thrilled when they decided on having their session in an olive grove. It turned out to be an incredible location… Pure magic!

Banjo Outpost – Behind the Scenes

This past Sunday Banjo Outpost, a menswear clothing store in Saskatoon, was shooting their Spring/Summer lookbook and with my hookups through We, the Timeless I was asked to tag along. I mean can you really say no to a day with male models and free food? #hangingwithmodels #blessed

With a photographer, videographer and several other cameras around I choose a behind the scenes view. And if you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a mens fashion shoot, it’s a lot less glamour and a lot more pickled eggs and beef jerky snacks. But…nothing short of fabulous.

Thanks again to We, the Timeless and Banjo Outpost for letting me be a part of such an awesome project. Check in with them at a later date for the full story.
