Mary ~ Portraits

A few months ago I held a contest for a free session and Heidi won. We finally got around to doing this session last week and got some photos of her youngest daughter, Mary. Here is a sneak peak for Heidi, of a few of my favourites.

Hope you like them, Heidi!

Leia

I had so much fun photographing Leia & her parents! She was so cute! She wanted to share everything with me- from her toys to the dirt from the garden! :)

I had a lot of favourites from this session, so I'll just get straight to the photos now!

Leia ~ One Year Old

June 27, 2009

I love her adorable curls!

...and I love this shot of her climbing up the stairs.

We got some great family photos thanks to Leia's grandma juggling behind me- I'm only sorry I didn't get to see the show! ;)

Sierra's Photos ~ Artistic Edits

I mentioned a couple of posts ago, that I wanted to do some more playing with Sierra's photos.

Here are some of the edits that I came up with (in Before/After style), using a bunch of different tools in photoshop as well as textures.

I like both versions of each, for different reasons. But I definitely have a couple of favourites. What do you think?

Sierra is One!

My neice, Sierra, is having her first birthday in July and since my sister and her family are visiting Canada for a couple of weddings, we thought we'd get a little photoshoot in.



You might remember her from her newborn session posted on the blog nearly a year ago.



This time, we loaded the car up with a chair, a helium balloon, and a bassinett, and took off!



After a quick little session due to the one-year-old attention span, we came home for naptime. Thanks to some rainy weather, we ended up experimenting with a makeshift studio in my mom's living room and we ended up with some more cute shots.



I really like this one:



These are just a few of my favourites, but I loved so many of them!

There is some cool processing that I want to do on some of these (and will probably do another post with some of them), but it will have to wait until I catch up on client work. I wanted to get a little preview up for my sister and my mom though, before I get back to work ;)
