Lake Adventures - Edmonton Family Lifestyle Photographer
Lake adventures with the kids on a gloriously warm spring evening in Alberta.
A few weeks ago we were bogged down by the every day. Stressed, tired, and in need of some good ol' fresh air. We decided to take the kiddos out after their bedtime for some lake adventures and we discovered it was exactly what we all needed. I think it's so important to allow ourselves time to refresh, even if it means breaking the "rules" every now and again.
We headed west to a spot I'd been wanting to check out for a while, and it was beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better night. The kids had a blast running around, collecting rocks, watching snakes, hearing their echos bounce across the lake. We saw beavers, muskrats, snakes, squirrels, geese, loons, and even a mouse.
Here is a selection of my favourites from that night. I also created a video of our adventures and I will be sharing the full version later this week. I hope you enjoy.
Blossoms Amongst the Green - Edmonton Family Lifestyle Photographer
Of course I couldn't resist taking my own kids out during blossom week. I'm not going to lie, prior to this year's "Blossom Watch 2016" I didn't always jump at the opportunity to photograph these pretty pink flowers. I'm not sure why, because I had a lot of fun with them this year. I also fell in love with the amazing white blossoms in some of the photos below. We even decided to bring our pups along for the adventure.
Spring has Sprung - Blossom Session - Edmonton Family Lifestyle Photographer
I chatted with this family last winter about scheduling a blossom session in the spring. We were determined to be able to catch the blossoms this year as they had missed them the last couple of years. I called our wait Blossom Watch 2016 - which kind of reminded me of the show Blossom and gave me a craving to watch it. Woah! BUT, anyway, we managed to catch the blossoms just in time so we were all very excited and had a lot of fun that evening. All the flowers made for a pretty night and the sun decided to peek out near the end. Here are a few of my favourites from that evening.
