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 Maternity & Newborn Photographer {Baby Kinsley}

Happy new year everyone! I can’t believe how fast 2019 flied by - thank you to all of you who have supported me another year. Hard to believe I am almost into my sixth year in business. I am so incredibly pumped for 2020. In a few weeks I will be releasing new packages for family, newborns and babies, as well as details about my next Mama & Cameras class. This year already has so much in store, starting with a much needed family vacation in February, then in March a trip to Toronto to attend an in person newborn workshop with one of my all time favorite newborn photographers - Kelly Brown. I hope you and your family enjoyed a relaxing Christmas and holidays and I wish you all the best in 2020. I will be releasing my 2020 family session dates in mid-January so be sure to join my VIP group or subscribe to my newsletter at the end of this post for first “dibs” on my limited family session dates. If you are expecting in 2020 now is definitely the time to book. I am already booking sessions into July and my 2019 pricing is still valid for a couple more weeks. Contact me today to book.

December was full of holiday babies and I can’t wait to share them over the next coming weeks. I had never heard the name Kinsley before, but funny enough a couple weeks after my first niece Kinsley arrived, this sweet little Kinsley arrived. I had met her gorgeous parents exactly two months before her session for a rainy fall maternity session, you wouldn’t know how cold it was looking at their smiles, thank you both for being such good sports. Tiny little Kinsley was definitely happiest in mom or dad’s arms during our session but luckily with some wrapping tricks I was able to sneak in a couple sleepy bucket shots before she woke up and noticed she wasn’t in anyone’s arms. I wouldn’t be a newborn photographer if I didn’t love baby snuggles, so fussy babies are never too much for me. C & G thank you so much for having me capture this special time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of three. Enjoy

Edmonton Maternity & Newborn Photographer {Baby Emma}

Hard to believe it is nearly October. This month always flies by fast and before I know it I will be busy preparing for Christmas. Thank you so much to all the wonderful families who chose me tho photograph their families this fall, it has been my busiest ever and I am so happy that the fall colours cooperated this year, even if it has been a bit on the chilly side. I have a feeling we are going to have a lovely October, so if you are looking to book a last minute fall session I still have a few October openings - check out my convenient online booking page here. With the snow in the forecast this past weekend my winter and studio Christmas minis are starting to book up, book your spot now!

Now is when I start to think about the coming year and there are a lot of exciting changes to come in 2020! I am always looking at ways to make the experience you have from the time of booking to receiving your photos better and ensure that you are receiving the highest quality service and products. I would love to keep you posted, you can sign up for my brand new newsletter that will be going out soon. You’ll receive session tips, styling ideas, news and first chance at booking mini sessions and 2020 family sessions right in your inbox quarterly.

I met this sweet couple in Mill Creek Ravine this summer who were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby, not knowing yet if they would have a boy or a girl. Little Emma arrived soon after and the biggest surprise of all was her gorgeous full head of hair. As a mama to babies who were born with peach fuzz I am always amazed when newborns are born with so much hair, my curly haired 4 year old still hasn’t had her first haircut. Emma was just a little doll for her session, and looked so beautiful in my favorite color purple. Ben and Kristie, thank you so much for inviting me into your home to capture this special time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of 3 (or 4 with Miss Lucy). Enjoy! {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}

Edmonton Maternity & Newborn Photographer {Baby Graeme}

Spring is officially here and for me that means the start of my busiest time of year is just around the corner, 80% of family sessions are booked between April and October. Weekend session dates are booking up the fastest, be sure to visit my online booking page soon to secure your 2019 family session date. This past week was amazing, I shot the newborn session featured below, as well as a branding session and my dentist’s office, can’t wait to share more from each unique session. I also taught my first Mama & Camera’s Learn to Shoot Manual class to six wonderful ladies yesterday and wow does teaching again ever feel good. It is truly so rewarding to share my photography knowledge with others and I am looking forward to teaching another Mama’s & Cameras classes again later this year.

I met Taryn and Nathan earlier this year for a maternity session in the always beautiful Hole’s Greenhouse in St. Albert. We had the most beautiful light and you could just feel the excitement and joy these two had for their very special IVF baby that they had been waiting many years for - made with a lots of love and a little bit of science. I couldn’t wait to see them again and meet their little boy this spring.

Little Graeme couldn’t have been more perfect when I met his for his newborn session when he was 12 days new. He was so calm as I wrapped him up and he drifted off to a deep sleep for most of the session. I could only imagine waiting so long for your first baby and then finally getting to snuggle them in your arms, must feel like heaven. The love and joy that surrounds a new baby is such an honour to capture and these two sure adore their baby boy. Taryn and Nathan thank you so much for having me photograph this very special time for your family. Wishing you all the best as a family of 3 (pius one - glad we got Edison in some shots)
