When the blossoms open, they only stay for a few days, so you have to take advantage. We got lucky and had wonderful weather that week too. Here's a selection from a sessions I did for another lovely family that week.
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.
Ben Turns Two - Edmonton Family Lifestyle Photographer
I love birthdays. The excitement, the wonder in little eyes, the gathering of friends and family, and of course - the balloons!
Ben celebrated his second birthday in style. His extended family even joined us for the first half of his session. Despite having some balloon mishaps and losing a few, we had a lot of fun!
Here are a few of my favourites.
Easter 2016 - Edmonton Family Lifestyle Photographer
We had a pretty eventful Easter weekend. It's always nice to have a long weekend together, especially after the last few busy months. Our every day life is pretty hectic, with trying to keep up with the kids, and the house, so I like to try to schedule in different activities for us to do when we can. Keeps things interesting, and is a little refresher for us.
We started the weekend off out at Prairie Gardens Adventure Farm. We have annual passes, so we like to get out a few times every season. There's so much to do there, so the kids don't get bored.
Elliot got to hold a little chick for the first time. It was pretty much the sweetest thing ever. The chick snuggled up in his hands and fell asleep, and Elliot was SO careful not to move. I took a turn afterwards, because who can resist holding one. They are the sweetest.
He also went on a little Easter egg hunt, and we saw some farm animals and had pancakes. All in all a good day. Here are a few of my favourites from that afternoon.
On Saturday we painted our eggs.
I've been trying to learn more about video, when I find some spare time. I decided to try my hand at a little stop motion video from our Easter egg painting:
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend as well!
Greenhouse Adventure - Edmonton Children Lifestyle Photographer
I don't have a very strong green thumb, but I love plants and flowers. It's a little bit contradictory, right? Well, even with my slightly brown thumb, I have a hibiscus I've managed to keep alive for almost ten years. It's needed to be re-potted for a while now, so we packed up the kids and took a trip to the greenhouse - one of our favourite places - to pick up a new pot and some soil. We browsed, shopped, and the kids enjoyed some lunch while we enjoyed our americanos. It made for a nice afternoon, since the weather was pretty chilly that day.
Here are some of my favourite photos from our adventure:
