Last week I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet little girl.  Her Mom and Dad were so kind and welcoming as we waited, and waited and well…. waited some more for her to drift off to sleep.  She had a different agenda than we did and I felt so sad for her as it was obvious that she was having some tummy troubles.  She was quite a little trooper though and barely cried but wasn’t comfortable enough to sleep for long.  When she finally did close her eyes we got some super awesome shots that I love.  Thanks guys, and thank you for sharing your daughter so I could have a few snuggles too.

I admit that there are days that I wish away and I know one day I will wish for them back.  That is what I was thinking this morning Adam was sitting on my knee having a cuddle and enjoying every moment of it.  We were chatting and I told him he is getting to be such a big boy.  He loves being called a big boy but today he said “yes, me a big boy, me a little boy too”.  I think even he is realizing that he barely fits in my arms any more.  I loved hearing those words but at the same time I got a sick butterfly feeling in my stomach.  I know I’ll miss this and when I’m snuggling or reading or he is laying on my tummy at bedtime I am treasuring every moment.

Happy New Year everyone!  It’s right back at work for me.  I enjoyed some time off (mostly) for Christmas and had some wonderful days with my family skating, sleighriding and playing a million games with my sisters, nieces and nephews.  We had a great holiday and now… back to photographing.  Though I love having time off – I do miss taking pictures so I’m happy to be back in the groove.  It is that time of year again when Calgary experiences a baby boom so with lots of newborns coming I’m excited to be moving into the baby season.  If you are having a baby soon and want newborn pictures be sure to call before your baby is born to reserve a space!

I spent the morning today with a little sweetie that was almost a Christmas baby but instead will celebrate her Birthday every year on boxing day.  Emily and Chad were wonderful and Sophie was pretty much the perfect little model.  Their house was ideal for photographs with wonderful colors and great light.  Chad and Emily are gorgeous (sorry guys, just had to throw that in) but didn’t want many photos of themselves so I snuck some in when I thought they weren’t looking and I love them.  Hopefully they will too.

Here is a big sneak peek for you just because I couldn’t resist, I’m still in the giving mood.
