Edmonton Newborn Photographer: Stella – 11 days old

Hello Stella! Welcome to the world little sweetheart. I’m so happy to meet you baby girl because I’ve had the opportunity to work with your Mom and Dad four times now – their engagement, their wedding, your mom’s maternity session and now it’s even more exciting with you happily in their arms. 

I am so happy for you Valerie and Jarrett. Thank you for allowing me to record these special moments for you. Your daughter is beautiful and for only 11 days old has the most amazing smile I’ve ever seen.  Congratulations!

Edmonton Newborn Photographer: Alyssa 9 days old

Beautiful Alyssa was just 9 days old when I went to visit her for her newborn photo session and she was as precious as ever. I was especially excited to meet Alyssa because I’ve known her parents for a few years, as I photographed their wedding a couple years ago.  Infact, a few of the red paper cranes that were used at their wedding were incorporated as part of Alyssa’s newborn session – how unique is that?! 

Congratulations Clement and Cassandra!  I’m honoured you asked me to document this very special time for your family.  Enjoy your photos!

Edmonton Newborn Photographer: Introducing Emma

New home, new baby, and double the love to be shared.  It’s been a few weeks since you saw Heather’s maternity photos and now I am happy to share photos of Heather and Jeff’s sweet baby girl, Emma, and her proud big brother, Logan. I first met this wonderful family a few years ago and it was an honour to work with them again.  Congratulations on your sweet baby girl!

20+ comments will earn this family a complimentary gift.

And because Logan was such a good sport, and thoroughly entertaining during Emma’s newborn photo session, I just HAD to include a couple solo shots of him as well.  It was so funny; for some reason Logan called me “Jimmy” the entire time I was at his house….at least he got the first letter of my name right; it still makes me laugh just thinking about it. Thanks again for the great afternoon together. And Logan, you are going to be a great big brother, I can only imagine how much you are going to make Emma laugh.

Edmonton Newborn Photographer: Parker

Her due date was the exact same as mine (5 years ago) and I couldn’t help but check her facebook status daily for any news….. I was excited and I couldn’t wait to meet Rona’s little girl. This past year Rona has become a dear friend to me, and I was beyond thrilled when she asked me to photograph her beautiful daughter, Parker.  With lots of snuggles and a smile that can light up a room, Parker was the perfect little model for me. It was a lovely afternoon Rona, congrats again to you and Cody. Enjoy!

 

Rona - I just had to say again how much I LOVE these images, Jaleen! Thank you so much. I keep going back to your blog to look at them, haha.

Nikole - A beautiful family!!!

Edmonton Wedding Photographer: Kaarlo and Isabelle – Engaged!

I am so happy to share these photos from Isabelle and Kaarlo’s engagement photo session. Isabelle and Kaarlo have been close friends for years and recently their friendship blossomed into a beautiful relationship. Kaarlo loves how smart and talented Isabelle is.  And no matter how hectic life gets with work, study and errands, Isabelle loves that Kaarlo is so understanding.  With busy schedules they are just so happy to spend time together, even if it means staying home and relaxing.  I am honoured they contacted me to photograph this exciting time for them and I’m looking forward to their upcoming summer wedding. 

Congratulations Isabelle and Kaarlo!

Little hands, little toes, soft coos and the perfect baby smell….oh,  if only I could snuggle with newborn babies every single day.  I’m so happy to share these photos of Owen; he is so adorable and was a treat to photograph.  And I had so much fun meeting his handsome and hilarious older brother, Henry, as well. Owen was only 8 days old in these photos, and I can only imagine how much he has changed since our morning together.  Congrats again Kathy and Jeff; you have a beautiful family. Enjoy your photos!

Edmonton Maternity Photographer: Valerie and Jarrett Expecting

You know the kind of couple you just want to photograph over and over again? Well, Valerie and Jarrett are one of those couples for me. I absolutely LOVE working with them.  Maybe it’s because Val is drop-dead gorgeous or maybe it’s because we have history together;  I first met Valerie and Jarrett on the day they got engaged, yes, I was actually at the proposal - I was there for their wedding – and I’m honoured to be photographing this special time in their lives as well.  This is one of my all-time favorite maternity sessions and I am so happy to share these images with you.

I love Weddings in Alberta.com – they always have great articles to read and I truly believe they are one of Alberta’s best wedding websites. In January I, along with many other talented wedding industry vendors, participated in the “31 days of Giveaways” hosted by Weddings in Alberta.   My giveaway was one complimentary engagement session and I am so excited to meet my winning couple.  Check back in about one month to see photos from their photo shoot.
