The mini sessions booked for this past Saturday were cancelled due to the weather, but they have been rescheduled for next Saturday, May 1 for the same time slots.  Please look at the mini session blog posting or contact me for more details.

Wow, our house is still on a high over yesterday’s incredible game!!!  Having the Olympics in Canada has been such a wonderful experience once again.  Yesterday I was telling my oldest how I was her age when the winter Olympics were in Calgary in ‘88….yikes….that was a while ago!  Seriously, how much fun did everyone have watching all the sports and the unbelievable opening…and closing (loved the Flying Moose!) ceremonies.  *Sigh* It’s a bit of a downer now…all that hype over the last 17 days….what to do now that we have to go back to regular t.v..

I have some more incredible images from this little 7 year old beauty.  We started in the studio and accessorized her wardrobe.  Initially we were going to stick to studio photography, but plans changed and we finished outdoors with a few location pictures.  When planning for a studio session, think texture and colour.  Mix and match your outfits….even if you think they wouldn’t work for “everyday” wear…quite possibly it will work in your images!  Sometimes the littlest of accessories like a headband or hat can really impact an image and add tons of interest to an otherwise ordinary outfit!

Mini sessions are coming soon….watch for the blog posting in the next while. These sessions fill fast so be sure to contact me right away if you are interested!

Enjoy these images….it’s a big post!

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 :)

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 :)

Calgary photographerCalgary photographerCalgary photographerCalgary family and child photographerCalgary child and family photographerCalgary child, baby, teen, and family photographerAs 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 :)

I truly enjoyed working with mom, dad, and both kids…..they were so cute!  If any of you were wondering about the title, the song associated with it is what makes these kids groove.  Really, my Barney didn’t cut it!  I loved it!!

Have a wonderful holiday season everyone!  I will be away over December and will return all e-mail/phone messages in early January!

Enjoy :)
