Edmonton Maternity & Newborn Photographer {Baby Jamie}

Well it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had a chance to get caught up on some blogging so here I am. I am headed out on a little family get away this weekend after the busiest month I’ve had in a very long time. It might look like I am not very busy as I haven’t been on top on social media posts as of late either, but I am so happy to say that things seem to finally be getting back to normal and I couldn’t be happier. So many spring and summer babies and my fall availability for newborns is starting to book up. If you are expecting in 2021 I would love nothing more that the opportunity to capture this special time for your family. Now is also the time to book your fall family session - some dates are already gone. If you want to be photographed during our gorgeous fall season book ASAP before it’s too late. Family dates as always can be booked online and start at $450. Please contact me to book your newborn session.

I hope everyone is staying cool during this heat wave and enjoying summer so far. I look forward to another busy season photographing your beautiful families.

I have been so lucky to capture this beautiful family since they only had fur babies. I was so excited when they contacted me to tell me little Winnie would be a big sister in the spring. We had the cutest gender reveal session just before Halloween and even though I made a very embarrassing mistake (I read the form wrong and put the wrong color pumpkin in the box) a crisis was adverted and photoshop saved the day!

I have been adding so many gorgeous pieces to my maternity wardrobe this past year so I had Nicole come to the studio for a maternity model call and of course she looked as gorgeous as ever and totally rocked the session.

A few weeks later sweet little Jamie arrived weighing 8 lbs. and I headed their beautiful home to capture him and the new family of four. Winnie has grown so much since I saw her last and was so adorable saying - “a baby” every she walked in a room and saw her little brother. Jamie was as sweet as can be and slept for most of the session. I am so lucky to call this family friends and I can’t wait to watch these little ones grow. Ash & Nicole thank you so much for having me capture all of your special family moments. Wishing you all the best as a family of four - or six with the dogs! Here are some of favorites from their ordered images. {K}

Edmonton Maternity & Newborn Photographer {Baby Kensingnton}

Well with freezing temps this week it looks like the beautiful fall weather has finally come to an end. I have a few more family sessions to shoot and I will be in touch with each family with the option to shoot in studio or home if it does end up to be too cold to shoot your session outside. Crossing my fingers this means that we will have lots of snow for winter family mini sessions coming up on November 15. My 2020 family session dates are officially fully booked but you can still book winter minis or studio Christmas Portrait minis online now.

Now that my busy fall rush is coming to an end I will have a bit more time to catch up on some blog posts that I didn’t get to this past year. Before COVID hit I was photographing so many newborns that I didn’t have time to feature them all. Hope you enjoy all the adorable squishy newborn goodness coming your way.

I’ve known this beautiful family for a few years now after meeting them when big brother Maverick was born. Miss Kensington arrived just before Christmas and was my last newborn session before enjoying the holidays with my family. Hard to believe a year has almost past and I will be shooting her 1st birthday session soon. 10 lbs. of pure adorable squish, Kensington was an angel for her session and so full of adorable gassy grins. Michelle & Christopher thank you so much for choosing me to be your family photographer, it has been wonderful getting to know you all and watch your family grow.

I know right, it’s been a hot minute since I last wrote a blog post. My last post was almost 7 months ago, my last newborn session that I shot before COVID hit and everything shut down. The first few months of staying home were heart breaking as I had to cancel newborn and fresh 48 sessions for many families expecting their first baby, some expecting twins, some expecting what might be their last. As difficult as it was, cancelling or postponing sessions until phase one was for the safety of my family and yours, always my number one priority.

Now that I am able to safely photograph newborns again, ever since we entered phase 1, I do so with the utmost precautions. I closely monitor the health of myself and my family and always reschedule in the event any of us are showing any symptoms of COVID or are sick. When photographing your family or newborn I always wear a mask. Hand washing and sanitizing has always been important, but I am extra vigilant now. Props have always been and continue to be washed and sanitized between every session. My home studio is now open, but I keep a minimum amount of available openings to ensure space can be sanitized between clients. I will continue to follow guidelines put forward by Alberta Health Services, and deposits will be refunded in the event I cannot photograph your family due to COVID restrictions.

2020 has been a difficult year, but I am so thankful to the amazing families who have continued to support me and still make 2020 one of my busiest yet.

I met this beautiful family for a maternity session on the most beautiful early summer night. Stephanie was just stunning in a few of my maternity gowns which I now offer to all maternity clients. They were just beaming with joy and so excited to meet their baby boy. Little did we know that Stephanie would go into labor that night!

I was very surprised when Stephanie emailed me a couple days later to tell me baby arrived the same night as our maternity session. Talk about cutting it close. Little Codi was an absolute dream to photograph and big brother Max was so in love with his new brother, a best friend for life. I am so excited that I will be photographing Codi’s first year and seeing this family a few more times in the near future. Stephanie and Remi, thank you so much for having me capture this fleeting time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of four.

Edmonton Newborn Photographer {Baby Mira}

Well what a turn of events in the world since my most recent post. I want to reiterate that the health and safety of all the newborns and families I photograph is and always has been my number one priority. My studio and any props used during a session are always washed and sanitized after every session. I also take my sick policy very seriously; if I or one of my kids or husband is sick, I will always reschedule. I also ensure that anyone who I photograph is also healthy and will always reschedule when a family member is sick. This trying time is hard on small business , so I implore you to continue to support local and to please not miss the opportunity to have your special milestones or new baby captured. Keep calm and don’t forget to wash those hands. Be kind, be supportive and stay informed.

In more exciting news I am so happy to announce that I am now offering studio newborn mini sessions. My Bundled Minis will be offered in studio only most Thursday mornings. These sessions are for families who are looking for photos of baby only, a more affordable option compared to my full newborn session. You can find all the info and even book your session online using my simple online booking tool just click button below.

I was so happy when Jackie contacted me to photograph their baby girl who was already two weeks old but who had arrived three weeks early. I usually recommend booking your maternity and newborn sessions in your second trimester as I have limited openings available. Luckily, I had just returned from holidays so I was able to fit this beautiful family in last minute. Miss Mira was just a joy to capture and her parents were oh so smitten with their new arrival, their little miracle. I had been following Jackie on IG before she booked and knew they would love having some florals in some photos, which is possible any time of the year using digital composites - I just love creating works of art for families that help me tell their story. Jackie and Israel, thank you so much for inviting me into your beautiful home to capture this special time for your family. Wishing you all the best. {K}

Edmonton & Area Maternity & Newborn Photographer {Baby Vida}

I’m back! after a much needed couple weeks off I am ready to officially hit 2020 running. Our second Disney Cruise once again far exceeded all expectations, we had the most amazing time and can’t wait to go again in a few years. If you are looking for the perfect family vacation, I cannot recommend Disney Cruise Line enough. Here are some highlights from our trip.

From one wonderful trip to the next - this Friday I am off to Toronto for Kelly Brown’s newborn workshop. Kelly has been an inspiration to me since I started my journey as a newborn photographer, and I cannot wait to learn from her in person. One thing I love about photography is that no matter how long you have been at it there is always room for growth and always something new to learn. This year I plan to shift the majority of my focus to newborn photography. I love babies and love capturing this special times for families, such fleeting time that they will never get back. Check out my new newborn package offerings, including a brand new Bundled Mini package for families with a smaller budget who are just looking to capture baby alone.

I will still be offering family sessions, but dates will not be released until mid-March, and openings will only be offered between May and October. Very limited openings will be available for online booking soon, be sure to join my VIP group on Facebook for the chance to book first and receive special discounts.

I met this beautiful family on the second day of 2020 for a romantic winter maternity session. Keren was just glowing and you could just sense the anticipation for this new baby from both mom and dad to be. We lucked out with the most gorgeous weather and golden light, what an amazing start to the year. Keren wore one of my maternity wardrobe gowns which I am now happy to offer to all maternity clients in 2020.

Beautiful, and I mean seriously beautiful, miss Vida arrived a few short weeks later right on her due date - during one of the coldest snaps on record. I arrived to be greeted by beaming grandparents visiting from BC, so happy to spend time with their newest grand child, for Keren’s mom her long awaited first grandchild. Mom and dad were just smitten with joy for their precious baby girl, so many heart melting moments. Vida (which means life) was just an angel for me, even when she was awake and so alert for much of the session. Keren & Zach, thank you so much for inviting me into your home to capture this exciting new chapter of your lives. Wishing you all the very best as a family of three.
