Thank goodness for our Saskatoon photography studio!

Throw back Thursday to this session I shot when we just moved into our Saskatoon photography studio.  I can't wait to have somewhere warm to shoot that is simple and stunning all winter long.  We have a few fall sessions still available and are booking into the chillier months.  Once I'm all caught up with editing, I will be posting some of the sessions we have been working on. 

Mom and me - Saskatoon Photographer

Right before Mother's Day, we had a promotion on for 'Mom & Me' sessions, which came with a pedicure from Just for You Day Spa as well as a super sweet swag bag... this mom took advantage of our package and came into the studio with her adorable princess for their mom and me session.  We got so many gorgeous shots!!!  I think this little girl is going to cherish these images in a couple of decades.  I would die to have images like this of me with my mom *cough* 30 some years ago *cough*.

Extended Family Photos - Saskatoon photographer

We are getting so many inquiries for extended family sessions lately!!!  There are so many big anniversaries coming up this summer, and I'm so happy that people are thinking ahead and getting their extended families photographed.  I have to admit, about 5 years ago I was turning down large extended families.  I wasn't the greatest at posing them, and I wasn't confident in getting the great images our clients have come to expect from us.  After taking a few courses on large extended families over the last few years, our portraiture has really come a long way since then, and I'm now confident in getting beautiful images of large extended families.  They are a challenge (more so when there are a lot of little ones in the mix), but they are also some of the most important images that we capture for our clients. 

This family came to me last winter, so our options were a bit limited for locations, but we do have a few beautiful indoor locations that work well for these types of sessions.  Aren't they a photogenic group?!  Yeah, they made my job pretty easy.

You may recognize this family from my previous post.  This gorgeous mama was one of the bridesmaids in the wedding I just posted previous to this.  She called me up and asked if I was available to do their family photos last fall.  I was sooo excited to capture their adorable little girl, who was the flower girl, along with her mom and dad.  They are all so photogenic.  I really wish fall last longer... it's so darn pretty! 

Fall family photos, Saskatoon

Fall is a popular time for family photos here in Saskatoon.  This family came from Kindersley, SK for their session.  I'm so used to chasing around toddlers so having two well behaved boys who took direction like no body's business was a bit of a surprise!  The whole family was so photogenic.  At the end of the session the youngest said:  "Can we do this everyday?  That was so fun!"  LOL.  If I had the time, I would love to shoot you everyday buddy.  You guys were a real treat.  Thank you, again, for taking the time to come all the way to Saskatoon for your family photos.  It was an absolute pleasure!

A new dress, A flower farm, and a 4 year old. - Saskatoon photographers

My little girl turned 4 this summer!  I can't believe it's been 4 years since we welcomed our first born into the world.  She received this gorgeous dress from her Auntie who brought it all the way back from Italy for her!  I knew I had to do a photoshoot of her in it.  I really wanted to do something really girly with her, as that is her:  Girly.  I thought doing the session out at my parents flower farm would be the perfect place!  (Yes, my parents grow flowers on the farm to sell to flower shops in Saskatoon.  Pretty cool right??  You can keep tabs on what they are up to on their facebook page HERE)  While the farm got hit with frost a few nights ago, there was still a lot in bloom and they looked amazing!  We did this session in about 20 minutes, because well, that's all my girl will give me.  Needless to say, I feel like I captured her personality perfectly.  So here she is... my little princess.  I love her to bits!!!  And I'm bias, but isn't she gorgeous?    

I don't like to play favorites...

This mom and I went to photography school together.  Their wedding was the second wedding I ever photographed.  The not-so-little girl was just 2 when she posed for us in class.  It's hard to believe she turned 10 this year!  I'm grateful they come to me every year for family photos.  It's pretty cool to see the kids grow up and the mom and dad look exactly the same (lucky buggers, lol).  They are some of my favorite people to photograph.  Thanks for supporting us over the years.  It makes me so thankful to do what I do!  Looking forward to capturing your family again next year!
