The Rood Family...

I am not going to post any family shots today, just because they might be going out in Christmas cards and I don't want to ruin the surprise.

This little man is exactly 1 month and 1 day younger than Quin and I can tell they are into all of the same kinds of trouble... ;) I am just kidding, he was such a sweetie - here is Weston watching his big sisters climbing up the tree.



Here is Matea - looking so pretty. I loved her and her sisters matching outfits. They said they thought they were silly (I think that was the word they used) , but I agree with mom - SO CUTE!


And last but not least - Kiara! Aren't all three kids so gorgeous?




Here are Mom & Dad. Dad (Matt) may look familiar I did a few quick photos a few months ago for Canyon Creek. Here is the link to that post - check them out if you are looking for a new house in the Medicine Hat area, it really is a gorgeous area.

I tried two different processing methods - leave me a comment, which do you like best? Warm autumn tones with fantastic light shining through...




Or the moody black and white with a little grain...


I like both...



Anyway, back to processing... check back in the next few days for some SUPER cute wedding accessories that I found and can't wait to share.

Happy Birthday!

Last weekend I finally got to meet Trina and her family. It was her mom's birthday and most of the family was able to come to town for the celebration. The ladies came straight from the Stone Orchid Spa and gave it rave reviews. Oh, and the birthday girl, her husband and all of the grand kids arrived IN STYLE, in a Rolls Royce Limo - it was gorgeous! Anyway, here is a sneak peek...

This one is MY FAVORITE - grandma May (hopefully I have spelled that properly...), we decided that the best light was at the bottom of the hill, so rather than look for somewhere less desirable, she asked the men just to carry her down. I think she said "like the old days"...?!?! Her old days must have been much more fun than mine... :)



The kids playing on the elephant after we finished with the pictures...


The birthday girl and her hubby...


And here is the whole group...


Hope you all had a great supper and a really happy birthday!

Fun Family...

I haven't posted anything in a few days, trying to get ready for my first maternity session on the weekend - I am really excited about it. So, I thought that I would take this opportunity to post some photos of a REALLY fun family. These were taken right after Christmas, in the very cold snow.


Serious...


Fun...


This one makes me laugh every time I see it...I didn't set them up for this, just turned around and this was going on. (he isn't actually hitting her, just pretending, she doesn't look worried)


Kara...looking fantastic!



This one is possibly my favorite of the day... glowing...

The Beginning...

I don't really know where to start, so I thought that I would start with a picture.

He really does have the most beautiful blue eyes.
This sweetie is Daniel and he just turned two on April 24th. I took some birthday photos for him and mom & dad the week before his birthday... he was so much fun! He definitely kept me on my toes, but not too unusual in my life. My little man turns two in June, so I am used to it.

We took some really cute photos with a cake (decorated by me...I am taking a course to
learn how) and he was so cute - looking at mom as if to say "Are you really going to let me eat this?" This is him digging in, after permission from mom.

O.k, with the beginning out of the way my next post will be about my new endeavor A DAY IN THE LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY.
