I thought I’d try something different last year and teamed up with Mariana of M Photography and we offered Fall Super Mini Sessions. It was actually a lot of fun and I really loved working with Mariana. Plus it was awesome to meet some new families. 
RYDER – LDS Baptism Photos
Check out my adorable nephew Ryder’s baptism photos! Ryder recently turned 8 and was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His mom really wanted photos to display at his baptism and didn’t think I’d have time so figured it just wouldn’t happen. Well, I’m all about pictures and so my mom, Ryder and I decided to surprise his mom and take his photos at the Calgary LDS Temple while she was at work. Grandma had him looking super sharp in his blazer, and he rocked his photos. Ryder is such a little stud and did awesome despite the bitter cold. The best part was later in the day my sister called me in tears (happy tears) when she saw the gallery. I love when surprises make people happy like that!! And I love being able to document important memories for my family and for others.
SCOTLAND
I know I’ve said I don’t normally do this, but after much debate, I have slowly started taking on lifestyle newborn sessions. And I’m loving them! This particular session is of my new niece, Scotland. She was born on September 30th weighing in at 4 pounds 14 ounces!! Sooooooo teeny tiny!! I have been to the birth of most of my nieces and nephews, but sadly for Scottie’s birth my kids and I were sick and there was no way I was going anywhere near a baby or hospital then. It broke my heart! Thankfully I was able to do maternity photos (you can check those out here) before Scotland arrived, and then these newborn photos of her and my sister, Katelyn. I still can’t get over how tiny she was!! I loved being able to snuggle her and capture her little yawn, tiny toes, and her with her mom. I think Katelyn looks beautiful and I love her and Scottie together. They’re just so sweet. I am starting to enjoy newborn photos, done a little different 😉 So, here’s Scottie at just 11 days new!
BRETT + KIDS
I love this mom and her darling kids! I have been photographing them since Ryan, the oldest, was just a baby. I still remember accidently making her cry with my kids’ little puppet frog haha! Sorry Ryan 🙂 Brett and I met back in high school and it’s been such a pleasure to photograph her darling family over the years.
STEHMEIER
I haven’t been to Confederation Park in years, so when this adorable family decided on it as the location for their family photos I was excited! Confederation Park is perfect for a morning session as the light is simply lovely. And aren’t they an adorable family! I love their outfit choices too. Mom had them all dressed perfectly! I have known Mark, the hubby, for as long as I can remember and it’s so fun to see his family grow and to be able to capture these memories for them. Thanks for the fun morning Stehmeier family!
