Baby brother turns one.

A couple of years ago I did a session with  this one year old. My favorite image from that day was this:

Since that session the family has added a baby boy and he just turned one so I was called back. I love seeing kids grow up. One year old girl has turned into big sister, and what a good big sister she is! The focus of the session was the baby but miss personality made her way into a few shots. :)

 

This was the first shot of the day. Using my multi coloured Holga to bond us. The kids can't help but love me when I pull out a fisher-price looking camera. ;)

The scans on the family shots were all too small. Need to rescan. In the meantime here is one that is typical of how they went. ;)

My little brother and his soon to be missus . . . .

Congratulations to my brother and his girl on their engagement!

They knew better then to ask me to shoot the wedding, but they did ask for engagement photos. I'm a nice sister so I said yes.

I did a shoot with these two a couple of years ago. It was Holga heavy on Signal Hill so this time we went another direction. We went to the very spot they got engaged.  It is on Murphy's Lane . . . and we are Murphy's so, you know, cute and romantic.

Here are a couple of the couple . . .

Big Sister x2

Repeat clients make my world go 'round.

The last time I saw this family there were two girls.

This was the families favorite image:

This was my favorite image from the day. It is a Holga image taken during a snack break. (This reminds me that I need to do a blog post on snack images, because they are almost always my favorite.

Fast forward a year and a new baby means new photos. Big sister is still feeding babies and loving it:

Little sister is now middle sister:

New baby boy sweetness:

And one more of middle sister, just because she was so feisty and cute:

2010 revisited

We are 21 days into 2011. I realized that I better get a move on organizing and filing away 2010.

As I go through files I'll be scanning a few negatives here and there.

I'll also be announcing a promotion.

Stay tuned.

Tweet.

So my facebook account was hacked. That's not the bad news. The bad news is that without access to my personal account I can't access my photography page since I am the only admin. I am trying to get it resolved but after 3 weeks of being completely ignored by facebook tech/e-mail etc I am feeling despondent.

Enter Twitter. I'll serve up my account with a slice of humble pie. I always swore I'd never tweet. Um. Yeah. Well I didn't consider the idea of being hacked out of facebook. So come to my nest. Lets fluff our feathers together. I've prepared some suet and seeds and it's time to party. My favorite part of Facebook was crafting clever and often hilarious statuses. Maybe I'll like Twitter.

Happy New Year!!

2011 is here and it is spectacular. So far. Anything can happen but lets remain optimistic, shall we?

I want to take this chance to thank all my WONDERFUL clients for all their support in 2010. I had a great year and saw many new faces and many repeat faces. I love you all.

I have many images to share now that things have settled down. Some people say Christmas is their favorite time of year but for me POST-Christmas is the best. I make more money pre-Christmas, but I make more inner peace post-Christmas. It is a lovely and reflective time for me.

That said . . . I am already booking sessions for January. Just as well. Idle hands, and all that jazz . . .

Happy New Year!!
