The Lexington...

I was asked to come and take a few photos at Kingsland's The Lexington last week - they were in need of some photos of details in the suites that make them stand out, and upgrades, etc.

So here is just a very small selection and also a link to their page if you are interested in giving them a call to see/purchase a place.

The Lexington Medicine Hat Web Page

Some Kohler faucets...


I really love all of the windows and natural light in some of the rooms...


Granite counter tops and eating bar in the kitchen...


This is a master bedroom, I really really like the idea of a little sitting room off of the bedroom. At least that is what I would do with it... ;)


There are a lot of really interesting angles, this particular one is from the ceiling of the room pictured above... This would be especially great if you had an M as a first or last name! :)


Anyhow, that's it for now! Hope you are having a great week!

PHOTOBOOTH IN ALBERTA!

I know I posted yesterday, but I just found this and I was too excited not to share! Alberta now has a traveling photo booth for weddings!

Here is the link...
The Photobooth Co.

By the looks of it, they are from Calgary, but will travel.

What a fun thing to have as wedding souvenirs for all of your guests! They come with your name and/or date on the strip too.

Here is a video that they have posted on their site - it's about 2 and a half minutes long and shows what they are all about.

Gorgeous baby girl!

First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone, and I hope you are all having great holidays so far. I took these a few weeks ago, and they are a Christmas surprise for Dad. Since mom posted them on Facebook, I'm going to go ahead and assume that dad got his gift a little early... ;)

Anyway, what a sweet baby! I always say that, but I always mean it! Not a peep of a cry the whole time I was there, and no one got peed on. An all around good time!

Here are a few of my favorites from her session, her eyes are just so pretty.



The next two are my top two favorites. What a sweetie!


Just relaxing...



Ho, Ho, Ho!



Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Holidays!

I know it's a bit early for Merry Christmas - but I just want to take a second to say thank you SO MUCH to everyone for making this such a fantastic year. Happy holidays, and I hope to see you all again in the new year.

If anyone is still wanting some last minute Christmas gifts - all prints are 10% off. I can still get them here before Christmas as long as I order them before Monday the 15th. Give me a call at 403-504-7101 or e-mail me at adayinthelifephotography@shaw.ca.

There are still a couple more posts coming before Christmas - and some big, important news too!

A really funny little guy...

I had a fantastic time at Police Point Park a few weeks ago with this family... Daniel is a few months older than Quin, but so much the same in so many ways. Probably most two year old's are busy and full of energy, and he is no exception... We did some singing, some running, some exploring, some walking backwards, oh, and mom and dad brought a flashlight so that we could look inside some gnarly old trees for bugs. This was all in about an hour.

Oh, and I should mention also that these gorgeous blue eyes have made an appearance on my blog once before - actually as the very first post! Here is the link - The Beginning...

I didn't post very many the first time around so there are a few more this time, enjoy!


This was one of the VERY few times we got him to sit... ;)



Looking for bugs...




Running and enjoying the tall grass...





This is DEFINITELY one of my favorites!



Love his eyes in this one...




Also a favorite...



I am also going to take a second to thank Sonja for entering my summer contest - this was the free session that she won. Here is the link to her summer photo that won the contest...
Contest Winner

Thank you so much Sonja for being a constant supporter and promoter of me and my photos, I really appreciate it. I hope that you love your sneak peek, and there are lots more to come soon.

I really like scarves...

Just sayin... I like scarves in pictures...

Anyway, here is a fun couple and their pup Mia - this was a just because it's Christmas soon session.

I am a bit overwhelmed with all of my work to do, so without further ado here are some of my favorite pics...


This was our secret to get Mia to pay attention, JERKY! YUM!

Cameron looking pretty fantastic...

Alisha looking SO STUNNING! Look at those eyes!



A little attitude... (with a scarf) love it...




YUMMMM! One of my favorites...



Thanks you two - I had a great time! Alisha, I am actually just about done all of them, so I'll be talking to you really soon, Jenn

A puppy with no papers...

If this is your puppy, and you'd like to see more pictures, bring me your paperwork, you know who you are... ;)

Married! Part two!

So, here it is... part two! I am trying my best to get caught up on all of the sittings from the past few weeks, so I'll keep this short and sweet and get to the good stuff.

Roxanne... yowza - looking good! (is yowza a word? I don't know...)


The vocal soloist of the evening...



Roxanne is from Newfoundland, and had one of her bridesmaids screech Marcus in as a surprise - this is Marcus getting into his sou'wester.



I really love this one! Roxanne making sure that all of the kids get a taste of the icing as soon as the cake was cut, right off of the server...



YUM! (The light, I mean, not the kiss - you'll have to ask Roxanne about the kiss!)



Check back in the next few days for the sneak peek of the Schuett family.

A Beautiful Autumnal Wedding

I met Roxanne & Marcus for the first time when I took their engagement photos in Lions Park last spring. Here is the link to that blog post...

Roxanne & Marcus' Engagement Photos

Fall is by far my favorite season, and I was so excited for the rich, warm style and colors that Roxanne and Marcus had planned for their special day. But much to my dismay, I woke up the morning of their wedding to a very chilly, very foggy, dare I say, wintery morning and I was worried. Luckily Mother Nature did not disappoint, and by ceremony time, it was a beautiful autumnal day.

Here are some of my favorites so far;

The groom to be...


The gents...


Marcus looking at his beautiful bride...


Roxanne looking so stunning...



The sand ceremony...


I am really loving the ring shots lately...


Roxanne and Marcus,
I really want to thank you both for having Skip and myself be a part of your wedding day. It was emotional, and heartfelt and beautiful, thank you.

Oh, and part two coming soon...

You'll have to wait until after Christmas...

So, I had a FANTASTIC time taking photos of Kim, Jerod and their sweet pup Meeka a few weeks ago. They were SO MUCH FUN! I love people who are up for anything, and they were. There are a lot of capital letters in this so far, I feel strongly about it ;) ... Anyway, they have asked that I do not post a preview until after Christmas, at which time it will really be a post-view, but anyway, I thought that it would be safe to just post one of Meeka because I really like her...

Here she is... she's so cute!

Kim & Jerod,
Hope you are having a great weekend and talk to you soon!

The Sweetest little man...

I have been friends with this little guys mom for a several years now, and I was SO excited when I found out she was pregnant, and was anxiously awaiting his arrival!

I had the pleasure of meeting him a few weeks ago - he was SO good! Mom said that he isn't always so happy, but he was wonderful while I was there.

Here he is cuddling up with mom...


And one sleeping in dad's arms, I love the way he is kicking up...


Dad wanted a pic with them happily comparing hand sizes, this is what we got instead...


Mom, Dad and babe...



And finally in his Santa suit - THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!



Sarah,
I am just about done all of the editing, so I will give you a call in the next few days... :)

Christmas Cards

I have ordered some really cute templates for Christmas this year. I thought that I would post a few to show you all what they look like. They are not all in this photo, just some of my favorites - these are all horizontal, but there are some vertical ones too... I have all of the designs printed up in a binder, so when you are having your photos taken, let me know that you are interested, and I'll bring the binder so that you can see the whole selection. Right now, I can order these as 5x7 prints that you can slide into your yearly Christmas card/letter. I am looking for somewhere that can print them as actual cards as well, but I am having a hard time finding somewhere that is good quality, relatively inexpensive, and also in Canada - or in the U.S. that has quick shipping. If you know of anywhere let me know... otherwise, enjoy!

Happy early Thanksgiving!

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!

Sweet baby girl...

I had the pleasure of meeting baby Mariah a week or so before her photos. I was especially excited to meet her because her parents and I have been friends for a long time, and she didn't disappoint, she is sweet!

Here is a link to mom and dad's maternity pics a few months ago...
http://dayinthelifephoto.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-hot-mama.html

Though it was nap time, not too much sleeping actually happened during the photos, but they are great anyway. And to top it all off, I didn't even get peed on! (Mom did though...tee hee...)

Here are a few of my favorites...

Looks like she is really considering something...



I love this one because she already looks a bit annoyed that dad is kissing her!



Cuddling up with mom...



The whole family...




This is definitely one of my favorites! See what I mean? CUTE!



Congratulations to mom & dad, she is beautiful!
