Merry Christmas From Us to You...

This year has has been such an amazing adventure I have been so excited to branch out and meet so many of you and share in your exciting moments.  New arrivals and new beginnings - and lots of families!
Thank-you for inviting me in and entrusting me with capturing those special times!


The year is quickly winding down and although my blog may slow over the next week or two - I (as will you I am sure!) will be busy celebrating Christmas and visiting family and friends!  All this so that we can be refreshed and geared up to dive into a new year!


( I have learned this year that to get that great family photo with everyone it...I just might have to hire a photographer lol) But regardless here is our card from us to you...

We are so grateful for all of the people; friends, family and fellow bloggers and clients that journey with us in the day to day - up and down and that have been such a great encouragement and support!  Thank you :)


Have a Very Merry Christmas....

Tara and Co.

I was so excited to do this shoot and to try out some new lighting techniques I have been learning as of late. And of course I had some beautiful and handsome subjects to work with - Tara and her two little guys.

Here are a few of my favourites...

Santa Photos...

On Thursday night we had our community lightup.  Such a neat event, they have a parade of floats lit entirely by christmas lights and various organizations host family friendly events.  The big guy in red even graced our little town and came in on the top of one of the fire engines.
I wish I could have snapped a few photos of all the festivities but my camera was getting ready for a much bigger job - Santa Photos!!

After the parade, parents and kiddos lined up for their chance to meet Santa.  Logistically I found out VERY quickly this is not a one person job.  Poor Santa may get buried in a dog pile if photographers do not bring along crowd control. lol
The chaos did subside as Santa's wife stepped in and started looking after the registration process for me.
(As a side note there was supposed to be someone there to help me out in this area but they got held up somewhere along the way) So a big hurray to Santa's wife!!

I would love to share all the cute photos of all the adorable children but I did not want to complicate the proceedings with having people sign photo releases so I will just show you the one with my own chicklens.
