Marika, Steven and Max at 6 Months

One of the great things about what we do is the ability to document people as they move through their lives. Engagement shoot becomes Wedding shoot. Wedding shoot becomes maternity photos… then newborn photos etc.

With Marika and Stephen we have been able to capture their maternity photos then a session with little Max when he was only a few days old. We met with the family recently to capture images of Max at 6 months old.

The day we met happened to be the day the first snow fell here in Edmonton. Just so Max didn’t get too cold outside we headed in to Rosso Pizzeria for a coffee and a little bite to eat. We sat back and took photos of the family spending time together.

We took to the streets after our fantastic coffee to take advantage of the beauty of the newly fallen snow for some nice outdoor photos. With the shoot finished, Max was whisked away by his parents to the warmth of the family vehicle.

We look forward to seeing Max grow through the years. 

Here are some of the images from our most recent session:

The Smiths

Meet the Smiths. Shannon reached out a while ago wanting some updated photos of her adorable family.  So downtown we went. 

What is always cool about downtown for Brad and I is that with only a slight turn, you have a whole new look. From parks to brick walls to shipping containers, the variety is just awesome.

Check out the shots we got from that fun, fall day.

 

Gaea & Kurt

This location was quite the coup.

Brad and I have been dying to shoot here. It required a few stars lining up to make it happen. The right couple, the right time of day and an open fence. 

I think the shots we got speak for themselves. We can't wait for their wedding next year. 

Can you guess where we were?

Fall Portrait Blitz

The Fall Portrait Blitz that we held on September 29th was a lot of fun for us. 8 different groups showed up to have Dave and I capture their images and we enjoyed working with each one of them! 

The weather almost worked against us - it was raining early in the morning but stopped just a few minutes before the first session began.  

Here is a sampling of the images we were able to get from the Blitz: 

 

Biddy, Scott & Thomas

This is my old friend Biddy. 

She and I went to school long ago. Since those days, we only occasionally run into each other, but have kept up with each other's lives via the marvels of social media.

I was thrilled to receive a message from her asking for us to take pictures of her little guy Thomas as he was turning one. I had looked at some of her other sessions which were mostly in wooded areas and parks and recommended trying different. So downtown we went.

Here are the photos from that day.

Enjoy! 

 

Alicia & Rob

Alberta skies are spectacular. When we met up with Alicia and Rob to work out their wedding plans, Rob told us the story of their engagement. He being a budding photographer himself had done a great job of documenting the big day. It was only fitting that a year to the day, we did their engagement session.

What I love about this shoot is that I feel we really captured these two. They are so much fun and their personalities could not help but shine through in the shots. 

...and then there are those dusk Alberta skies.

Max

This is Max.

​You met his parents, Marika and Steven, just days before this little guy made his appearance. He is such a tiny little dude and SO patient.  

You could tell right away how much love these two had for their most recent addition. I think that really comes across in the shots below.

Check 'em out!

Marika & Steven - Maternity

We got to these shots right in time! Two days after these pictures were taken, Marika gave birth to the lovely, little Max.

​With the weather being as cold as it has been, as late into the year as it has been, we took advantage of the long days and feet deep snow. When the cold got to us, we decided to return home and capture the last few moments before this couple became three.

Shelby & Brandon - Engaged

Man... winter can be cold. Even when it is only -3, the cold can hit you quickly. We had initially set up Shelby and Brandon to do their session in the fall, but schedules just didn't work out. So mid-February it was!

​We had a blast hanging out in some alleys and traipsing through the snow, however, when the cold finally got to us, the folks at the Mercer Tavern were gracious enough to let us in and take some shots there. 

​Check out what we got and other shoots like this in the Portraits section of the page.

We'll see these two again soon for their Canmore wedding.​​
