Carrie’s Maternity | Beaumont In-Studio

Oh my goodness, doesn’t pregnancy look so good on her! If only, I was this tiny so close to the end = I’d have a huge brood.  Although the uncomfortableness of the end is still engrained in my memory…. so maybe not.. Nevertheless, she makes pregnancy look GOOD!

Of course I have way more to share with you. Look at this adorable bump – boy or girl? Time will tell. What is your guess?

I can’t wait to meet this little person. Here are some more fav’s.

The anticipation!

Love to you all,

Kerrie

Jenkins Family

This was one of the last sessions I squeezed in before leaving Fort Mac! I love this family and their little guy.  I have had the honor of photographing this little wee man since he was only a few weeks old, now he is over a year old! Where does the time go, seriously?

He has a pretty great mommy and daddy, who love him dearly!

What is not a better way to photograph a 16 month little boy, but doing what he loves – being busy and curious in a park! I loved capturing the love and this time in their lives – playing together. As I was editing up this session, I couldn’t help but flashback to my little boys first jaunts in the park and how much fun and (nerveracking) they were. How daring little people are! It kinda made me sad and reminiscent of times gone by, as my little guy is 6 in September! And starting Grade One, and needing less hand holding and becoming way more independent. He know longer needs me to catch him at the end of a slide.  I digress. But this little walk down memory lane only reinforces to me why photographs are SO IMPORTANT and great in capturing the past and freezing it for the future. My goal is to capture this realness in the photos I take, so when you look at the photos it brings you back to that day and time in your life, and you can recall the events and feelings you had.

I couldn’t help but SMILE huge SMILES editing this set!

Love to you all,

Kerrie

I am in BEAUMONT (the EDMONTON AREA) now. Looking to capture YOUR realness? Drop me a line!

Jamie’s Maternity | Beaumont On Location

Jamie is a good friend and someone who I met when our little boys were just wee ones. Now they are both entering Grade One in the Fall and in the next few weeks ( or sooner) they will be welcoming a new little miss or mr into their family. We braved the mosquitoe-y outdoors and threats of a thunderstorm to capture her and her baby belly. Here are the favorites from our mini session!

Thanks Jamie for asking me to capture this time for you!

I am also way way way behind on blogging and have a tonne to share.  Let’s be honest – I’m behind on EVERYTHING! My kids and this move have been consuming most of my waking minutes. So, needless to say – I also have a few more sessions to edit. Now that we are settled and the kids are somewhat back to normal I can concentrate on my awesome ’second’  job once again. Thanks to everyone for your extreme patience during this time. Moving with three small kids 5 and under wasn’t as easy as I expected it to be. In fact, my E still is having tough times with bedtime and I *just* got her to sleep at 9:45pm! If anyone is waiting on me… I promise I haven’t forgotten and will contact you via email soon!  :)
