Just one for now…these handsome little boys will debut shortly….
A great time in studio…looking forward to our location time ( when the weather wants to cooperate withus!)
Such a treat to work with this handsome crew! Both boys are absolutely adorable, but really….why wouldn’t they since mom and dad are such a great looking couple
This family location photography session took place on a farm just on the outskirts of town. From old trucks, hay bales, barns, chicken houses and such….it’s a total boys dream! Just a very sneak of a peek for this family….more to come.

This morning I took my son out for a walk that turned out to be an adventure…..
It was supposed to happen earlier in the morning, but it never….so we had to work with the sun high in the sky.
As we walked Mason would stop along the way to crush any ice with his Diego scooter. At this time of year there is A LOT of ice….let’s just say it took a while to get anywhere.
Of course, Mason was sooooo excited to ride his scooter again. Along the way he stopped to show me all the “cool” things his scooter has….like a wheel, a bag to hold rocks….
After I got the grand tour, we just stood back to admire the scooter in the beautiful sunshine
Finally we moved on, this time it was down a slope HUGE hill
Last year he wasn’t too sure of the hills but after this morning…I think he’ll have no problem with them
I knew that sooner than later we’d have to try a new move. Phew, all this work…when the fun ends the best way to get home is simply to walk.
While walking, Mason noticed he had lost his shawdow. Where did it go? Why is it not following him anymore? Did the black take it back?
We walked some more till we came out from the “blackness” of the large house blocking the sun…and his dear shadow was back. **Grin**
Wow! Ice melting!
We had to help the water move….direct it with our fingers!
An hour later we made it home. I am so lucky to have my little sunshine

I have a new friend. Her name is Gertie. She is a warm and welcoming women with abundant stories that will keep you asking for more. Her kindness is from a generation that wrote instead of texted, that read stories instead of watched t.v., that invites a stranger for tea and takes time for a moment. Thank you Gertie we all are very lucky to have met you.
Today I spent some time getting pictures of my two girls. They are both so sweet, and so very different
It is important for me to capture the bond that is shared between them…hopefully they will appreciate the documentation. This was the first time that we’ve made it through a shoot without frustration, possibly it was the cool location that the girls just didn’t want to leave.

First of all…way to go CANADA!!!!!!
This was such a fab session! I had so much fun hanging with this seven year old, choosing outfits and dancing in the studio
I have put together a few pictures that would represent a mini session…now that mini sessions are going to take place in the near future
Again, I am so fortunate to work with such cute kids….really, there must be a cute gene in the H2O here in Calgary and I am one of the lucky photogs to work with these super kids
We really just hung out, put together outfits that worked with this little girl’s personality and then captured some memorable moments that both mom and dad will enjoy. Capturing your child “now” is what Simply Connected is about. I truly loved this children’s session as it was so relaxed and fun, enjoy

smiles and fun
She’s gorgeous and awesome to work with! The temperature outside was -6 degrees…just warm enough to brave the outdoors with a smile. Children and teen photography sessions are so much fun…I love working one on one as we really can connect and get those desired expressions.
Calgary has some wonderful parks and we totally took advantage of the snow. For whatever reason…the dogs offleash just couldn’t get enough of us! In between poses we had to take breaks to throw sticks for strange dogs
Enjoy

As many of you all know, we went on an extended family holiday in December. It started in San Diego visiting family and exploring the pub beach for an afternoon
The kids had a blast collecting shells and other sea life…while mom and dad enjoyed the warmth of the sun!
A car rental (an upgrade to an large SUV…that made a certain brother-in-law jealous
) took us to Anaheim for a few extra days! Disneyland is such a fabulous place, mom and dad were both beaming from ear to ear…of course the kids were excited too! It was funny this trip, I knew ahead that I really wanted to be “there” with my family…no scouting out light, locations and trying to get the kids to smile. My goal was to enjoy my time, put the camera down (at least the nice HEAVY one) and really be present.
Finally…. the above images are from Loreto, Mexico. My in-laws winter in Loreto and graciously invited the entire family to join them for Christmas. We spent two glorious weeks in a beautiful home metres from the beach. Loreto is not a large tourist town, but is a friendly and very welcoming village full of happy locals. Our days were spent on the beach swimming, sea shell hunting and digging for clams. The mountains were great for hiking….and abundant with wildlife (a close encounter with a tarantula will be remembered!).
Our last eventful day was spent on a beach a 1/2 hour boat ride from Loreto to Coranato Island. On the boat we saw porpoises, sea lions and great cliffs formed from volcanic rock. The sand on the beach was white and the sea was calm which made snorkelling unbelievable! What more could you ask for in a vacation:)
I look forward to another great year photographing Calgary’s fabulous families! As always… there are new items for the studio and awesome promos for the year. Stay tuned!
Happy New Year to you all!
Enjoy
