Today I thought I would share some of the images that I am shooting the catalogue for  these super cool hats!  I’ve seen them all over Calgary and love them.  Every time I see a child wearing one I swear they look happy, how could they not with such a cute animal on their head keeping them warm and cozy.  We went skiing/snowboarding last week-end and I even saw some Mom’s and Dad’s sporting them as well.

You’ve probably seen them around and may recognize a few of the more popular ones like the sock monkey that is my personal favorite.  Knitwits has done a spin on the sock monkey and have created it in different colors.  How fun is that?  I am loving shooting the pictures for the catalogue, it is so much fun to hang out with the kids and to shoot outdoors in the winter which I love.  I’m shooting the next batch this week and hope to share some more soon.  Thank you to everyone that replied to the Calgary Casting call I had for this shoot.  I appreciate all of the wonderful little models.

My wonderful sister Jacquie is a post-partum Doula and she is spending every day snuggling newborn twins.  Listening to her stories has gotten me missing babies like crazy!  I haven’t been doing as many newborn portraits as usual and am really missing them.   I thought I would share some of the baby pictures from 2009 that make me smile.

Also, if you are having a baby and wanting to have some portraits done, comment below or contact me and I will give you a free 11 x 14 with a paid session!  YAY!  I will draw 3 names from the names that I receive.

I met with this wonderful calgary family in their beautiful Springbank home a couple of weeks ago for some portraits of their newborn baby.  He was a little sweetie and of course I fell in love with him and his hair as usual.  :)  I just can’t resist babies with a perfect head of  hair and I’m pretty sure it was because my first niece was born with a big mess of it atop her perfect little head.

If there is anything more sweet than 1 baby it is 2.  Meet Caroline and Paul.  Totally sweet, very busy and quite honestly they scared the pants off me.  I’d forgotten how capable and tough 1 year olds are.  I’ve been photographing so many babies that are under 6 months old and then I seem to get the toddlers that are 2.  There is a huge change that takes place in that short time period.  These 2 were crawling all over the place.  Climbing off and on to their rocking horse and hurtling themselves at their stuffed bear.  I think my heart came close to stopping about a million times.  I was tired just watching them.  When I picked them up though they felt so warm and sweet and snuggly.  Still babies underneath all that bravery.
