It seems like yesterday the first time I took pictures for Erin. I did pictures for her little guy when he was one bribing him with cherrios just to get him to glance up at me, now hes a pro. Seriously the whole family is photogenic (wish I could say the same for mine lol) Both these boys were hamming it up they even added a couple of their own poses they wanted me to be sure to get. Love these guys xoxo
Every year when I head out to Alberta I get to photograph these guys and I try to think of fun new locations because these guys are always up for anything! I wanted to do this location for a very long time as the last time I was here was back when I was in high school and took some picture for my grade 11 photography course, and the negatives are long gone.(yes that’s right, film) So here I am many years later getting to do it all over again.
While away for the week I managed to get in some great photo shoots cant wait to share a few
So I have been in contact with this wonderful photographer(stolen moments photography by Jadie) ever since she photographed my cousins wedding. I was in the wedding party and she managed to even get my good side lol.
This beautiful mom does photography where my family is from in northern Alberta and keeps herself busy but managed to set some time aside to get some family photos done. I was truly honored to be asked by a fellow photog as flattering as it is it is alway kinda nerve racking….will they like them….Im picky and pick apart photos will she pick apart mine too……but in the end I am sure she is just glad to actually have a family photo with everyone including her in the picture. I know first hand that moms let alone photog moms are the last ones to be seen in pictures of the family.
I want you to know a little bit more about this wonderful woman Jadie and her family and why I think she is awesome? where do I start, 1) last year one of the towns oldest landmark hotel was caught on fire what did she do, she busted out her camera and captured some amazing photos and auctions off the prints profits going to firefighters.
2) Remember the big fires that had taken the homes of families up in northern Alberta Slave Lake last spring ? Well Jadie started a drive and within 24hrs she had packed a truck with a trailer full of basics toys , diapers, food, blankets , money donations you name it she brought it. Did the 4hr drive and delivered the goods to these families. Unbelievable! 3) yup there is more, she has been raising money through photo sessions for a trip to Africa where her and her family are going to Africa to build community of schools. (we c 3 hearts for Africa is her facebook group she just put up) All this in just one year! What an inspiration.
All and all this woman is a incredible and inspiring woman and am so blessed to have met her and her wonderful family! Thank you Thank you and Thank you again. So if you are in Bonnyville Cold lake region check out her stuff and book a session her pictures really go a long way, in more ways than one. And if you are not in the area check out her stuff anyway;)
