Calgary Wedding and Family Photography: Impulse Art Photography

 With all the snow outside, I thought it would be fun to set up an indoor photo shoot with the kiddies to keep us out of trouble.  They are growing so fast, so it was the perfect opportunity for some memories. Leanna was an angel since I bribed her with some chocolate she found stashed away with my photography props!  Noah on the other hand… well what can you expect from a three month old!  I did manage to get some good shots however!  Noah is just going to have to get used to his crazy mommy and her camera!

On a side note, I will be returning to work from maternity leave early!  It was great practice to get my camera out and get ready for my return to work in July.  I can’t beleive how much interest I have had and to be honest I’m getting a little stir crazy sitting around at home so I’m looking forward to a busy late summer and early fall full of photo sessions.

I can’t believe my little man is already 2 and a half weeks old!  Here is a photo I took of my sweetie pie when he was just 4 days old.  Even though I was recovering from a c-section, I made myself take at least a few photos of him during this precious time.  The newborn phase goes by so quickly, and this time around I’m going to cherish every moment of it.

This beautiful little angel’s mommy is one of my closest friends so I was very excited to be a part of her first photo shoot.  The session almost put me in labour, but it was so worth it!  Its going to be so much fun having our two little munchkins grow up together.

 I just love newborn photo sessions.  I had a really great time with the Brar family capturing moments with their beautiful new daughter Sienna.  She was such a good baby too!  She hardly cried and she gave me some beautiful sleeping photos. 

Last weekend, we decided to take advantage of possibly the last warm fall day in Calgary and take some of our own family photos.  Our crazy little Leanna had a great time posing for the photos too.

What an adorable family!  I had such a wonderful time taking their family photos last weekend.  The morning started off cool but warmed up quick and turned out to be the perfect day for a fall photo session.

My gorgeous sister in law Allison and her fiance Mike are getting married next summer, so while visiting our family in Regina for Thanksgiving, we took the opportunity to take some engagement photos.  Brett (my husband), and my brother in law Garett came along for the session too.  Garett is also a photographer so I had no shortage of photos to work with!  Here are some of my favorites.

This little guy made it so easy.  He has to be by far the calmest baby I have encountered.  He let me pose him and snap pictures and just didn’t seem to mind.  His older brother Parker was so much fun too!  I got a chance to see what is in store for me now that I am expecting a little guy of my own soon.  All that running… I don’t think I’ll have to worry about working out anymore!

And check out the beautiful hat on baby Beckett.  A good friend of mine, Rozmeen Khudabux knitted it for me to use for my newborn photography.  She is so talented I had to mention her in this post.  Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing one of her creations and I will get you in touch with her!

What a delightful family to photograph.  I enjoyed photographing this picture perfect family so much that I couldn’t wait to post some photos.  Enjoy!

When Nureen asked me to photograph her wedding, I was so sad that I had to turn her down.  I knew I would be 6 months pregnant and not able to commit to putting in a full effort for the wedding events.  But when she asked me to take her portraits on the morning of the wedding I couldn’t say no to that!  She is so gorgeous and I was so happy to have the opportunity to meet her fiance Hussein and take some memorable photos for them.  Her brother Ameel came along for the photo shoot as well to set the mood with some music and hold an umbrella to keep her out of the sun.  What a sweetie!  The weather could not have been more perfect either.  It was a little warm but we found some nice shaded areas and I am so happy with the results.  Congratulations guys!  I hope the wedding went well!
