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.

Edmonton & Area Newborn Photographer {Baby Weston}

Well we are all packed up and ready to head out on our next Disney vacation. If you know me you know that our family is a big fan of everything Disney - this will be our 5th Disney vacation in 7 years and we will likely plan a trip to Disneyland soon. It really is the happiest place on earth and the first Disney cruise we took completely exceeded our expectations of an all inclusive vacation that we are cruising again less that two years later. If you or your family need any Disney parks or cruise tips, I am sure I will have even more tips to share after this trip. Be sure to follow me on Instagram once we are home from our trip I will share some of my favourite photos and moments.

This month is of course the month of love so I am passing on a sweet deal to anyone expecting in 2020. Fresh 48 sessions have become a very big part of my business over the past few years and I am booking more and more as of late. I would love to capture this fleeting time for your family - book any 2020 Maternity & Newborn or Newborn session and receive a complimentary Fresh 48 session (session fee only - $150 value). Offers expires on February 14. Contact me to learn more.

Sweet little Weston visited my Devon home studio a couple weeks ago along with this drop dead gorgeous family. I have never had a more wonderful time capturing a family so full of love for one another. Mom and dad so smitten with each other and their boys, and brothers so enamoured with their new baby brother. Weston, a special Rainbow Baby, was an absolute angel for me and we were able to capture so many sweet shots. His beautiful mom gave me the greatest compliment during our session and it was about how safe she felt with me posing her baby. When you book a newborn photographer I understand that usually cost is the first thing you see - but please don’t be afraid to ask any potential newborn photographer how much experience they have with newborns and also how much safety training they have received. Safety is absolutely my number one priority when photographing your baby, and I am aways investing in more and more education to make sure I always capture beautiful posed images of baby safely. You will see a photo below of tiny little Weston in a basket - he was never left unattended in that basket - during poses like this mom or dad are always right next to baby and resting a hand on them when I am not shooting. Safety always come first. Danielle and Brandon, thank you so much for trusting me with these photos of your precious boy. Wishing you all the best as a family of five. Enjoy.

Edmonton Newborn Photographer {Baby Sabine}

Listening to Disney hits while I write this post and dreaming of the Disney cruise I will be on with my family this weekend. Packing and getting three kids ready for a vacation is no joke, but between loads upon loads of laundry and to do lists, I have many sweet new years babies to feature on my blog before I take off for 10 days. The last time we took a family vacation it was the beginning of September and since that is my busy time of year I ended up working until 3 am the night before our very early flight, and was pretty much a zombie for most of the trip. We didn’t make the same mistake this time, instead leaving during one of my slowest times of the year. That being said now is the time of year that spring and summer newborn openings book up fast! So if you are expecting in the next 6 months, now is definitely the time to book. I have 1-2 openings remaining per month between March and July. Be sure to like and follow me on Facebook and Instagram as I will be announcing a special newborn session promo in the coming days.

In other news, I am excited to announce my next Mamas & Cameras class. This class is for moms with a DSLR who want to take better photos of their kids, or even want to take the step towards running their own photography business. We spend a whole morning learning to shoot in manual mode - a key step in taking better photos and the one step it took me to get to where I am now, running a successful photography business that I love. This class will be held at one of my favourite indoor photography locations, a space that I frequently photograph families in. Click the button below to learn more.

I was welcomed into baby Sabine’s home with the friendliest hug from big brother Remy and from then on I knew that I would have the most wonderful time photographing this beautiful family. Remy was an absolute dream to capture with his baby sister, so cuddly and gentle - and those adorable curls! Sweet miss Sabine definitely made me work for those sleepy shots, but I definitely never mind a little extra baby snuggles. Newborn photography requires a lot of patience, so sessions can sometimes take a full four hours; this is why I definitely recommend in home newborn sessions for families with older siblings - if you are lucky your 2-3 year old still naps and this is much easier to deal with in the comfort of your home. I’ll bring all the props and snuggle your baby as much as they need to be. Nicole and Jason, thank you so much for inviting me into your home to capture this very special time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of four. Enjoy.

Edmonton & Area Newborn Photographer {Baby Maisie}

Hard to believe we are almost one week into 2020. I remember being a kid and imagining what my life would be like in 2020 - would I be married? Would I have kids? Would we have flying cars? Well life couldn’t be more amazing as a mom to three beautiful girls and married to the man of my dreams. Now only if I could fly to all of my sessions or back and forth to all the kids activities. One thing I never saw coming was being my own boss and having a job photographing the most wonderful families, I am so thankful to do a job I love. 2020 is a big year for me, as there are lots of changes to come. You might have noticed some new images in my galleries and on my home page, and in the next couple of weeks I will be releasing my new packages that I hope will appeal to everyone that loves my photography. My current pricing is still valid, so if you are expecting in 2020 right now is definitely the time to book and save some money.

Continuing with my busy December of babies, I got to meet miss Maisie just a couple weeks before Christmas. I have been photographing this gorgeous family since their third daughter arrived a couple years ago. I was very pleasantly surprised when the family announced baby number four was on the way and even more pleased when another little girl arrived just in time for the holidays. These girls are all so sweet and the love that surrounded sweet Maisie was such a joy to capture. Girl squad goals for sure. And of course being the fourth baby she was easy peasy for me, such a little doll. Robyn and Matt, thank you so much for choosing me to be your family photographer, it has been so wonderful watching your family grow. Wishing you all the best as a family of six! Happy new year! Enjoy.
