huh? | sherwood park family photographer

I love that my family enjoys looking at the photos I'm editing.  My husband always helps cull them (so he can enjoy the photos), and the kids are always so interested in who I've been photographing.  The other day I was editing Lexie (in the pink dress) as Lily was watching.  I converted the photo to black & white and she says "HUH?  Why she's grey now??"

My best & oldest friend's family:

travelling with kids...|sherwood park family photographer

Oh the joys of travelling with kids.  Kidding, mostly....our stress usually results from the EXTREME need to go to the washroom....and having to find a place to pull over safely (if we have our trailer) or find the nearest roadside biffy.

This weekend we travelled to Jasper....one of my favourite places to go.

On the way home:

Hank: Are we still in Jasper?  Me: No, why?  Hank: Oh...I need to go pee in one of those outhouses!!

Lily: I have to go pee so badly! (while Henry was occupying our trailer's bathroom on the side of the road)  Me: Do you want to pee on the side of the road?  Lily: No!  Me (thinking about how I phrased that): How about in the grass?  Lily: Yes.  I don't want to pee on the road, because if someone drives in it, they'll slip!

:o) sorry for all the potty talk....that's what we get around here!

Here's all the ladies...Mom's, Grandma, Auntie's, Cousins.

but I thought I got to sing a song...| edmonton family photographer

We went to our local Farmer's Market on Wednesday with some friends.  There was a cute little girl singing with a microphone and music.  Of course the kids wanted to give her some money.  On the way home, Lily said "I gave that girl my money".  I said "Yes, you did".  She said "But I thought I got to sing a song if I gave her my money".

I had my first session for the Tiny Light Foundation recently.....look at this beautiful family!  The Tiny Light Foundation provides Professional Photography for families that have been faced with a life altering or threatening diagnosis.  You can also find the Tiny Light Foundation on Facebook for more information.

Hank: When can I have those leafses again that will make me so strong?
Me: You mean spinach?
Hank: Yeah.
He then proceeded to eat raw spinach leaves with his lunch......and then showed me how strong he was getting by lifting up our (plastic) hockey net with one arm.  ;o)

Here is another beautiful family from my mini-session afternoon.

overheard conversations | edmonton newborn photographer

Lily: let's pretend I'm a princess and you marry me. Henry: no, no, no. let's pretend I'm a spy. Lily: yeah, and then you marry me. Henry: yeah....at the end.

I love when they find something in common to play :o)

Here is sweet Ayda and her wonderful parents.  9 days fresh.

Today we celebrated Mother's Day.  I got to stay in bed with my computer until I was brought coffee, toast with avocado and my wonderful handmade gifts.  My husband slaved in the kitchen all day to provide my Mom and I with a wonderful meal of ribs, double baked potatoes and grilled vegetables (and an ice cream cake that I've been coveting for a few days).  I forced asked my children to sit with my Mom for some photos, because we never seem to remember to take the camera out when we're just visiting.  We topped our day off by going to our WHL team's final game of the year, in which they actually WON!!!


Hope you had a happy day!
