I had a last minute contact for a newborn session come in at the end of June and was able to fit this gorgeous little boy in along with his two beautiful sisters! Baby B was just a little sweetie and slept really well for me so that I could get some perfect shots of him. His sisters were so adorable with him and I am sure he will have not one but three mommies to answer to! Now on to the photos!

You may remember this lovely family from their maternity session a while back. Click here to take a look! They were super cute and big sister was so excited to meet her new little sister! Miss K was super cute and cooperated like a super model for me during her session! We used hats, headbands, a whole variety of blankets and even took some family photos with the little newborn. I have been told that big sister is still loving having her little sis around and even volunteers to changes diapers once in a while!

I was looking through all of the sessions I had last fall and came across this fall session with S & R. We lucked out on the weather for their maternity session at the little park close to my studio in Langley. It was a GORGEOUS sunny and crisp morning! The fall leaves were out and yet it was still sunny and not too cold. We did a couple of outfit changes and moved around the park for several different set ups. It truly was a relaxed and calm shoot. I have since done their little man’s newborn photos and will hopefully see them again soon for updated pictures of him! Now on to the images!

CONTEST TIME!!!!!
Okay everyone – I said I would post about a contest for Mother’s Day – so here it is! If you are a mom then step right up! I would like to give a free session (GOTTA HAVE IT PACKAGE – $500 value) to a deserving mom and her kids.
This doesn’t necessarily mean you would never be able to afford photos or would never go and get them on your own but instead it means that you feel that you would love to treat yourself to beautiful portraits of you and your children.
As moms we are frequently shy about getting infront of the camera however it is EXTREMELY important that you have photos of you and your children together as it helps to shape a child’s feelings of self worth.
So here is what you need to do. You can get entries into the draw in multiple ways.
1. Enter your name into the contest by commenting on this post that you wish to be entered.
2. Hop over to my facebook page and comment on the contest post that you wish to be entered.
3. Share the facebook post with your friends and family. If they comment either there or on the blog with “_________” sent me you will get one extra entry for each person that does this.
I will close the contest on April 30th and do the draw shortly after.
If I get enough participants then I might even draw for runner up prizes!
