These images are from the last family session I posted.  I thought they deserved their own blog post because they were so cute.  The two older boys were just goofing around, and I was able to capture these fun images.

I'll title the series of shots....

Spontaneous Kiss-Fest 

:)

One of the things I always say I want to capture is emotion.  I love being able to shoot the un-posed fun moments that kids sometimes just give you.  This has been one of the 

B  E  S  T 

set of images I think I've been able to capture.  Definitely personal favorites for me !

This beautiful mommy manages 4 adorable kids.  Two older boys and twins- one boy and one girl.

They were sooo much fun to shoot.  I was a bit nervous with four little ones to capture, but we had a great time.  I spent a large part of the session running around them as they played snapping.  Before the running, we did sit down for a few shots so we could try to capture everyone together.

Adorable kids, super nice parents and a beautiful Kamloops evening made for some fun images.  In my next post I'm dedicating it to an adorable set of photos of the older boys.

I hope you enjoy your preview !

You often hear that photo shop can be your best friend.  

But capturing natural light can be the difference between a good photo and a great photo.  I describe my photography is pretty organic- meaning I want to capture people and show them as they really look.  I use photo shop to highlight their natural beauty, and sometimes to remove that pesky blemish  :)

But more important is the use of light, and the composition of an image.  In this image of my son, the light was hitting him just right, and he was laughing like crazy.  I love how the sun highlights his beautiful green eyes.

We did this beautiful Mommy's photos in two settings.  Kamloops weather is typically beautiful from April on, but we've had a wet few weeks, so this session was rescheduled a few times! Finally we got our outdoor shots done- such a nice family, and such a beautiful bump.

My boy, who is always a challenge to photograph since he rarely sits still and is always on the move.  My mom used to ask me why I always got pictures of him eating... I said it's because it's one of the only times he's still !

Now I've learnt to cut the food out of the shot...haha

My good friend Julie is expecting her second boy- and I was thrilled to do her maternity shoot.  This is part one- in studio.  Part two will be outdoors, so watch for that in the upcoming days.

I love her baby bump- it's just so perfect !

Boudoir has quickly become one of my favorite types of shoots to do.  I think it's such a wonderful way to celebrate womanhood and to feel empowered and beautiful.  I don't always get to post my boudoir images, so enjoy- this lady was wonderful to work with, and stunningly beautiful !

These images are ones that my family will treasure.  My son, who you've seen on the blog from time to time had the special opportunity to have both sets of grandparents in one city at the same time- which never happens.
We live in Kamloops- my parents live in Calgary, and my in laws live in England- so needless to say, having 4 grandparents was total and utter   B  L  I  S  S  for my little guy.

I know that these are photos he will treasure for the rest of his life.  We did this shoot in Calgary.
