"Guess What?"

"What?"

"Kiara's laughing!"

"Oh yeah? What makes her laugh?"

"When I air drum, so I go home every night and air drum so she'll laugh."

It's all those firsts that make having children so amazing. Chad glowed the day he told me Kiki had laughed for the first time. In fact, Chad and Janelle glow whenever the talk about their beautiful baby girl.

Cheers,

Dani

Vedress Family :: Expecting

February 8, 2009 // family / maternity

This session took place a few weeks ago now. I'd better hurry and post it before the baby arrives!! I'm so pumped about all the families and brand new babies I've photographed this year. I'm a very lucky girl.

With a two year old and a new baby on the way, the Vedress household is about to get VERY busy!

Their two year old girl would have much prefferd to just have me over for a play date. She is so cute and funny, a total performer.

I can't wait to meet your new addition! See you soon.

Dani

Brian, Jenn, & Chloe :: Playing

February 8, 2009 // family / personal

The best way to get better is to practice, practice, practice and try new things. Last weekend Brian, Jenn, and Chloe agreed to be my practice clients for some new products I had to try and new techniques I want to learn. It turns out I need WAY more practice for a few things, but this group were such great sports about everything.

We did manage to capture a few good images though;

Thanks for volunteering!

Inspired by GAP

December 27, 2008 // family / personal / photography / business

Inspired by the recent GAP ads I went out and played with Devin's sisters on boxing day. I love this GAP image (on the right).

I am so often inspired by advertising and buy tons of magazines.I like to do a little background search and fall upon some super amazing photographers.The GAP Holiday 2008 Campaign (that the Rayder sisters picture was taken for) was shot by the uber amazing photographer Michael Thompson.I've been reading about and studying the work of Irving Penn (photography legend) lately.It was such a happy coincidence to find that Michael Thompson's first photography job was as an assistant for Penn.If you are at all fascinated with photography, be sure to check out Michael's work.

Heres a few more from the day.

The Doucettes :: New Baby Girl

December 8, 2008 // family

A couple of weeks ago I went to Spiritwood to attend a ninetieth birthday party and while there I had an opportunity to capture the Doucette family. They have a brand new baby girl and she is such a sweet heart. She was so content the entire time I was with her.

I know her Mom has been anxiously awaiting her sneak peek so here are a few images;
