What a fun session ! I normally do primarily families, and edit in a very traditional way, but with this session, it was just one beautiful, photogenic woman, and I was given lots of opportunity to edit in a very funky, fun way. It was a fun session, and I love the cool images we captured !

Hope you enjoy this mix of traditional and non-traditional natural light photography !

I count myself very fortunate to be an at home mom to my almost 3 yr old boy.

Never for one second before I had him did I think I’d be an at home mom.

Once a devoted, career focused, stressed out working girl

(Social Work to be exact)

I never thought I’d give that up.

BUT

I get to see every moment of my boy’s life.

I love it.

He’s growing up too fast not to be there.

I was with him at his gymnastics class on Monday,and I was running along side him while he was blissfully

doing his version of gymnastics with the biggest smile on his face.

I realized these little things are big things.

These are the little moments I want to cherish.

And savour in the moment.

So I did.

I just watched his joyful, youthful smile that was totally focused on the sheer bliss of the moment.

And that was an amazing little (BIG) moment.

September is coming to a close, but the weather here in Kamloops is still pretty good. This afternoon I had the pleasure of photographing this adorably stylish little dude. I asked his mom to jump in for a few shots. As the mother of a boy, I’m partial to these kind of warm, affectionate images.

My favorite has to be this first one.

I love seeing a beautiful smile on a mother’s face as she looks at her happy child.

As a photographer I love to capture that emotion, and as a mother, I hope my son sees that smile and love coming from me to him everyday.

I do miss the big skies of Alberta, the beautiful mountains, the scenery….

This is taken near Pincher Creek.

Every week the wonderful people at iheartfaces.com have a photo challenge. This week’s theme is animals. I’ve never entered before, so I thought i’d give it a try with a photo that I took of a neighbourhood dog. He is the sweetest little puppy soul. He belongs to our tenants, but Dylan and I are often outside calling him, and trying to coax him to come play with us. I am wondering how to break it to the tenants they can never ever move out because we are so smitten with their dog.

Cross your fingers that “Oakley” is a fav over at iheartfaces !
