A Preview | Edmonton newborn maternity photographer

July 25, 2009 – 11:23 pm

Whew! What a week. The heat was unbearable and I had the pleasure of meeting 3 great families! I’m leaving for Vancouver Island in 8 hours and I’m still packing, but I promised some sneak peaks before I left.

This is D. Expecting their 2nd baby and what a beautiful family!

This is Baby V. A beautiful, tiny little girl. She was soo sweet and calm. Her big sister S is soo happy to be a big sister

Last but not least, baby M. He was just 4 days old and he had a very busy day.. We waited patiently for him to fall asleep and when he finally did, he was sound asleep and the cutest little guy.

Thank you again everyone for making my week so great! It was a pleasure meeting you all and I will have your full galleries up the first week of August!

Wedding Bells | Edmonton Photographer

July 22, 2009 – 4:57 pm

About a month ago, I was asked by my friend Andrea if I would like to second shoot a wedding with her. I had mentioned an interest a while ago so I said for sure! I have done a few weddings in the past, but I never really felt compelled to take on weddings. I’ll admit, I do LOVE wedding photography, I just don’t know if it fits me.

The wedding was this past Saturday AKA Crazy Storm Day, and we were lucky to be able to dodge all the weather and while the city was falling apart, we were totally unaware inside at night. I had a great time doing this, and certainly appreciate all that goes into photographing a wedding. Andrea is an amazing photographer and it was a treat watching and spending the day with her.

Just a few that I want to share.

Thanks for stopping by ! Carmen

The W Family | Edmonton Newborn Photographer

July 14, 2009 – 1:16 pm

Last week I met the W family to do a session with them and their beautiful new daughter M. They are such a beautiful family and we waited and waited for M to fall asleep and stay sleeping. She was very alert and easily woke to the slightest movement but we held on and she finally drifted off into a long nap. These are just a few from their session I wanted to share.

Lots going on here this week, there are rumors I’m even second shooting a wedding this weekend! I’m excited to do that, more previews and lots of babies I’m waiting to meet as are their parents. I also just booked the second annual Vancouver Island trip with my son which is in two weeks. I can’t wait to get back to Tofino with my friend Iasha and her family and another great family to do some amazing beach sessions, lots of ocean time and camping.

Thank for you stopping by, leave some love in the comments! ~ Carmen

What a colourful world | Edmonton childrens photographer

July 9, 2009 – 6:29 pm

Last week, I got together with fellow photographer and friend Brandi and her beautiful daughter A. She knew of a spot I haven’t been too and it was perfect! If you have followed my work through my blog, you may have noticed I tend to favor images that are softer in colour, maybe vintage, retro or b&w. I usually find myself going that way with most photos as I process them. Lately though, I’ve made a vow to work more on colour and try to find a way to make colours more vivid, almost surreal and I’ve played and tweaked, and I think I’ve become a fan of vivid colour on certain images and these are them! Take a peak at miss A! She is truly, the most photogenic little girl I’ve ever met!
