Ciera {Granite Bay teen}

What a gorgeous girl on such a gorgeous winter day!  This session was actually captured back in January…you could say I’m a little behind on my posting:(  

Not only did I luck out photographing this beauty but she’s the one that led me to this great location which I would have never found on my own!  She was such a natural that I hope it’s not the last time she gets in front of my camera!

Better when we are together


Melissa and I love anytime that we can get together and collaborate on a photoshoot…as our sisters and friends know all too well! We work well together and are often able to come up with themes and fun shoots that we would never conceivably create on our own. This summer we are planning on coming home to Saskatchewan for a few weeks and we have already had a few people asking us if it would be possible for us to do a photo session for them. This is exciting for us because it is a great opportunity for us to work together and get creative (and we are hoping our sisters are willing to babysit!!!). The plan is to come in  July – we hope to have exact dates in the next few weeks-so if you or your family are looking to have some great teen/family/couple photos done–hit us up with an email and we can let you know more details!

Our families got together over American Thanksgiving…and here are few shots of us!

The 45th day of the year!

February 14…. How can you hate a holiday where everything is pink and sparkly!? Personally, I love it! I embrace all the shiny balloon hearts, I smile at all the cheesy teddy bears and jam out to all the Justin Bieber singing Valentines Day cards! And of course  I was excited to dress my son up, head out and do a photo shoot. Here he is…doing his best to attract the ladies;)

Shawna {maternity}

Shawna is one of the most generous and loyal souls that I have ever met.   When we first moved here to California she went out of her way to make sure we felt welcome and she hasn’t stopped.  Something tells me that this little girl is going to be very lucky to have her as a mom!  We can’t wait to help welcome her to the world when the time comes!

Miss E + Miss M

As a mom of two boys it’s a nice change to have a fun hang with some girls.  And these girls, who are actually cousins, were just the cutest and sweetest and the nicest and the bestest!  Because everyone gets school portraits taken I don’t often get the chance to photograph this age group one-on-one but c’mon!  Aren’t these so much more exciting than school head shots?
