MURPHY FAMILY
I feel like it’s a mad rush to get fall family photos done in Calgary. The trees start to change color and then all of a sudden all the leaves are gone and everything is dead. Sadly we missed the beautiful, vibrant colors of fall, but I still love the look of the tall wheat like grass. I met the Murphy family down at Fish Creek Park near Cranston. Did anyone else not know how HUGE Fish Creek Park is?? I have lived in Calgary longer than I’d like to admit (I don’t want to age myself 😉 ), and I had absolutely NO idea how far this park extended!! And it’s beautiful down there! Add a beautiful family and the photo session was magic!
I’ve photographed the Murphy family since 2012 and thankfully the weather held and there was no snow for our session (unlike the first time I ever photographed them SO COLD!) . I love that they are used to my quirkiness and weird tricks to get natural smiles. They know it’s coming, they laugh along with me, and I love it! It’s so great to hear how the family is doing, and the exciting things they are up to. And let’s not forget how awesome Mom had everyone looking (check out mom’s sweet shoes!).
TILLEMAN
My family and I had just moved to Edmonton for my hubby to start law school when we first met the Tilleman family. At that point, it was just Ryan and Susie, no kids. We would get together for dinners and games nights and they were awesome with our 3 munchkins. They made the transition to a new city much more bearable and thankfully we have stayed in touch over the years. Now they are a beautiful family of 6 and I was able to attend the birth of their little guy just a couple years ago. I feel wonderfully blessed to have amazing families like the Tillemans in my life.
We headed out to Edworthy Park for their family session. It had been sunny all day and as I made the trek over to the park the clouds started rolling in. Not only did the clouds come out, but the weather turned cold, FAST! These kids were so good and thankfully we got all we needed before it got too dark and we all got too cold. I love all those blondies!! Thanks for the fun night, Tilleman family!
KUTARNA
I have had the privilege of photographing this darling family for roughly the last 8 years when they had 3 small beautiful girls. I have photographed the birth of their last 2 kids and it’s been wonderful to capture the changes in their family. They now have 5 beautiful daughters and 1 handsome little man. Yup, that’s SIX kids!! And they were such well-behaved kids for their session too. I love photographing them and I truly can’t believe how much the kids change each and every year. Dad better watch out ’cause these kids are gorgeous!! We opted to shoot at Bowness Park for their session this year and it couldn’t have been more perfect!
FALL FAMILY PHOTOS
I love fall, especially for family photos! Let me stop for a second to tell you that I am seriously the luckiest photographer in the world. My clients are always so wonderful to work with. That’s true of my session with the Fairbanks family, too!
I met up with them at Edworthy Park (you know it’s one of my favorite locations!) and the weather was perfect for fall family photos. While the weather was nice, it was this darling family that made this shoot such a treat. The boys were so well behaved and we had a blast throwing rocks in the river. Plus, as an added bonus, their mom had them dressed adorable!! I love the greys and blues she chose. Perfect for such handsome little men.
