Edmonton Maternity & Newborn Photographer {Baby Harrison}

Happy spring. The birds singing, the warmer days, after a long winter during one of the hardest years it as been so great for my mental health to be outside a little bit more. Sadly COVID-19 is still a real health threat and life isn’t quite as back to normal as all of us hoped it would be. The good news is that vaccines are here and I will be booking my appointment as soon as I am able to; my husband who is a front line worker will be able to book his appointment very soon which will provide an extra layer of defence for our family. With the current restrictions in place I am thankfully still able to photographer your families and babies by appointment only. Unfortunately I will not be offering my Mother Day minis this year given the back to back nature of them aren’t safe.

The green grass will be here before we know it and my summer and fall dates are already starting to book up fast. Now is also the time to book your 2021 grad session - you can view all my available openings and book online using button below for all 2021 session dates. I am still booking newborn sessions so be sure to book in your second trimester to ensure I have an opening available. All session deposits are fully refundable in the event any further Alberta health restrictions prevent me from doing session. Due this April? I still have a couple openings left and April newborn sessions are $100 off. Thank you so much to everyone who has booked and has trusted me to safely photograph your family this year.

I met this beautiful family for Kaylee’s maternity session during the February cold snap. I got my studio all set up for maternity portraits and we shot her session in studio, except for a few quick shots outside. Kaylee looked absolutely stunning in two of my maternity gowns and I am now hooked to studio maternity sessions. I was thrilled to hear that little Harrison arrived safely just as the weather was warming up and I met him when he was 9 days old for an in home newborn session. Wide eyed and awake for most of the session, by the time I was ready to pose him for his portraits he was nice and sleepy for me. I am so happy to have the opportunity to capture Harrison’s first year, it’s so amazing how much babies grow and change over the course of just 12 months. Kaylee and Adam thank you so much for choosing me to capture this special time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of three. {K}

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 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 Newborn Photographer {Baby Gwyneth}

So I know it has been quiet around here as of late, but with the fall season starting to wind down you will start to see more blog posts and sneak peeks will actually be posted before galleries are delivered. As much as I am looking forward to a bit of a break over winter, I cannot thank you all enough for making this my most successful fall ever. I saw so many families for the second or third time and those families recommended me to many other families; it was so lovely seeing you all. It is rare to have a job that you are passionate about and love but that is what I have and I am so grateful to all the families who give me this opportunity. Capturing your memories is truly and honour and I hope the moments I have captured for your family give you the feels for years to come.

I still have a few 2019 family session openings available and Christmas minis are coming up soon! You can find my remaining 2019 dates here (book those holiday extended family sessions before I am fully booked!) and find more info on Christmas studio and outdoor minis here. The holidays are the perfect time to capture family memories - we can meet at a skating rink or bake cookies together in your kitchen, or capture your whole family together that one time a year when you are all together! Just because it’s cold out doesn’t take away from the magic of the holidays. Black Friday is also just around the corner - a few one day sales will be coming your way!

I met this gorgeous family a couple years ago when they welcomed baby Charlotte. I was so happy when Ashley asked me to photograph the latest addition, sweet little Gwyneth. I definitely have a soft spot for baby girls (I have three), the bond between sisters is always just so sweet. Charlotte was just smitten with her new baby sister and I was lucky to capture so many heart melting moments between these two. Ashley and Brad, thank you so much for welcoming me into your beautiful *new home to capture this special time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of four {K}.

Edmonton & Area Maternity and Newborn Photographer {Baby Bennett}

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you had a fabulous weekend and enjoyed some of the nicest weather we’ve had in a month. Between Thursday and Saturday I shot 3 family sessions and a sweet pumpkin patch cake smash session, so busy, so today it was time to relax a bit and get caught up on some blogging and editing. You may have noticed that I haven’t been blogging family sessions; truth is I am just way too busy to blog every session over the summer and fall months, but I will be sharing all of my favorite sessions over the course of the slower winter months, so stay tuned. Are you thinking about Christmas yet? I am! The past few weeks I have been stocking up on sweet holiday newborn props for all of my holiday newborns (still some openings available) and last week I released my Christmas studio and Outdoor winter mini session dates - dates are starting to book up fast, see available bookings and book your spot here today. There are still some fall dates available and now is the best time to book your extended holiday season family sessions, there are a few openings just before Christmas and New years to accommodate families that all get together over the holidays.

I met this gorgeous couple this summer and as soon as I met them I could tell that a) they would have the most beautiful baby and b) I was about to shoot my favourite maternity session of all time. Ashley arrived to maternity session with a few just lovely dresses to wear, we had the most amazing golden hour light, and as usual we had one of my favourite spots all to ourselves. Worst part - the mosquitoes! I was getting eaten to death right through my jeans and poor mama Ashley, changing as we went nearly got eaten alive. You just can’t win here all the way in the summer.

A few weeks later sweet little Bennett arrived..my 7th newborn Bennett of the year! The funny thing is that I always loved the name Bennett for a boy, but never got to use it since I had three girls. Now I guess I just book families who have a great taste in names. I arrived to a new mom and dad who had slept in a bit late (I would too if baby was sleeping) and a wide awake baby boy. After what seemed like hours, I finally got little B to sleep and we ended up with the most adorable sleepy shots and warm cuddly shots with mom and dad who were just so obviously in love with their new bundle of joy and with each other in their new role as parents. Ashley and Matt thank you so much for choosing me to capture this special time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of three and p.s Happy anniversary. Enjoy, {K}
