An Ice Castle Wonderland

Last Sunday was not only Valentine's Day, but my youngest son's birthday.  We decided a visit to the Ice Castle was finally in order.  What a magical place.  Elliot had a blast walking through all of the tunnels and walkways, and splashing in some puddles along the way, but his favourite part was definitely the ice slide.  He and his friend must have gone down it at least ten times.

Townes wanted to walk and explore on his own, too. He was a bit wobbly, as the ground was quite uneven for such little feet, but he did pretty well. He kept looking up at the ice walls and I wish I knew what he was thinking. 

I'm hoping the castle returns next year. It would be nice to visit it earlier in the season. Were you able to visit? I'd love to know how your experience was!

Website Launch, Out of Hibernation Mini Sessions and Giveaway

I'm so excited you have made it to my new website! I've spent the last few weeks putting it together and it has definitely been a labour of love. I am hoping it is easier to navigate and more accessible for you. I've also included all of my past blog sessions, and added photos to them if you would like to take a peek at more of my work from the past year.

My Valentine's Day baby turns one on Sunday, and while I'm a bit sad he is growing up so quickly, I am excited to be able to take on more sessions and come out of hibernation - my 3-year-old and his cute cowl inspired the theme idea.

I am currently offering lifestyle newborn, children, family, couples, maternity and outdoor cake smash sessions. I'm also now offering family and children video sessions at a reduced rate. To celebrate the website launch, I am holding Out of Hibernation Mini Sessions on March 12th, 2016. Check out the "Events" page for all of the details!

Trinh Family - Video - Edmonton Family Photographer

During my morning with the Trinh family a few weeks ago I captured some video of their kiddos. Here is a little video showing some of their morning that winter Saturday. I'm currently offering these little video sessions at a reduced rate. If you'd like more details, shoot me an e-mail and we can chat. :)

Snow Day - Edmonton Family Photographer

I woke up to the sight of beautiful, frosty trees.  Since our mornings are usually a bit hectic, I crossed my fingers the frost would stay until the end of the day - and to my surprise it did! I couldn't resist taking the kids out to my secret spot to play in the snow, and I'm so glad I did because the location was beautiful with all of the coated-white trees.  Townes wasn't as into it as I thought he would be, but Elliot had so much fun running, jumping, making snow angels, and throwing snow up into the air for it to fall down on him.  If I loved snow half as much as this kid does, I'd make it through winter a lot easier.

Trinh Family - Edmonton Family Photographer

This was the second time I had the opportunity to photograph this lovely family.  The first time was almost three years ago when middle sister was just born- how does the time go by so quickly?!  I am so in love with the black and white edits from this session that I'm making this a black and white only post. I hope you enjoy!
