Baby C | newborn

Baby C arrived in the beginning of May, to very happy, proud and excited parents.  (You can see photos from the maternity session here, on the blog.)  Her session happened to fall on Mother's Day, due to mom and dad's schedules, and my teaching position.  Mom and dad assured me that C would be sound asleep and we'd have a terrible time waking her for alert poses.  Hah!  C had a plan of her own.  She decided to eat, eat, eat, and cry, cry, cry.  That's okay, though, because she slept enough to get these beeeautiful shots of her and mom and dad!  I am so in love with the photos from her session.  She's so beautiful!  It was neat to be taking photos on mom's first Mother's Day - a special memory, all around.  I was able to get some props crocheted in time for C's newborn session (owl hat, owl, turtle shell and hat) and convince her to let us use them.  I had made some other props, too, but after showing them to mom and dad in the livingroom downstairs, we completely forgot to bring them upstairs to use.  We'll just have to use them on baby number two.  ;)  A few more photos from C's session can be seen here, on Facebook.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G + C | maternity

G + C's maternity photographs are ones I can't keep my eyes off of.  She's just such a gorgeous momma-to-be!  (Well, she was.  This session is from March 2013.)  I've picked a few of my favourites to upload to the blog.  I am seriously in love with each of these photos!  I've had the pleasure of knowing G + C since before they even started dating.  They've got a great story about how they finally ended up together as a couple, and they both get all twinkly-eyed when they tell it to someone.  So excited and happy for them that they are finally at the baby-making stage!  (You can see some more photos from the session here, on Facebook.)  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Family K

Family K is my family.  Not biologically, but otherwise.  I was very sad when they told me that they were considering moving to another province.  And then when that became more of a reality.  And then when it became an actual reality.  Thankfully, I was able to join them for two last significant and memorable adventures: a family trip to the cabin, and the twins' last birthday party here with their friends.  The following photographs were taken on the family cabin trip.  Only a few were posed.  The rest were candids.  I sure do miss my favourite K people...

Family W

While back home (well, one of my homes, at least) for a family wedding, I was finally able to catch up with a few friends in BC.

Daniel and I have been friends for a long time.  You could call us womb-buddies, even.  Our moms were friends before we were born, and we've been friends ever since birth.  We've got a lot of good, fun, happy  memories under our belts.  It was an honour to be a part of his wedding party (a groomsmaid!) several years ago.  I don't think we've seen each other since their wedding, until a few weeks ago, and I was able to meet his son this trip!  It was very cool to meet little Daniel (I'm totally referring to him as that whenever I remember to - that baby is a Daniel clone!), and to catch up with Daniel and his wife after not having seen them in so long. 

Daniel writes a blog for the Vancouver Sun.  A hockey blog.  I think that's a pretty cool job.  I've read a few of his blog posts lately, and he's a pretty good writer.  I should read them more often.  And so should you.  You can find his work here: Pass it to Bulis. I'm not sure who Bulis is.  Should I?  One of the other writers, Harrison, is pretty cool, too.  I met him at Daniel's wedding. 

You can also reach Daniel on his Twitter account: @adanielwagner.  Um, I'll be honest.  I don't know how Twitter works.  I think you can't actually reach someone through a Twitter account.  You can just read random updates he posts, right?  *shrug*  I have no idea.  You can twitter him at @adanielwagner.  And while you're at it, could you explain the Twitter thing to me?  I totally don't get it.  I think that makes me old and mentally slow.

Aaaanyway, here are a couple of photos I was able to take during our visit:

The thing about this baby is that he could take a wide-capped waterbottle and fit the entire lid and half the bottle into his tiny, little baby mouth.  I was amazed.  He gots skills.
