I met Luella few years ago, during her funky and wintertime engagement session. She and John got married in Vancouver and I was really excited to meet their first baby. Grey was born just couple of days before Christmas and I came to Luella’s home and took all those natural light captures just shortly after.. Photographing newborns is a peaceful experience, I really love to do it:) Sometimes is really unpredictable – Baby Grey was happy but really awake. We worked on making him sleep and finally he did. Don’t you love how sweet he looks? We are against photographing newborns with crazy or dangerous props so like you can see – most of those photos are just soft and natural. Yes, his father is a Canucks fan and asked me to photograph Grey with his favorite jersey. Grey pissed on the jersey like real, Calgary born boy;) We will see if he is going to be a Flames fan, but I would guess – yes! Stay tuned for some more baby pictures soon. We have so many amazing pregnant brides – lot’s of new babies coming.

Mini session with 6 weeks old cute like a button baby boy.

Three days old here:

Sweet newborn I photographed on the last weekend. Who will tell that this little girl will be so awake for the whole session. We tried to nurse her and she didn’t sleep even after drinking a milk. She is growing fast and you can say she is pretty smart;)

New life makes me humble, wonderful and so innocent.  Meet Maya – sweet girl with full head of hair.

I’m very excited to start New Year with the post introducing new life. Michelle is my former bride but not my average bride. She is one of my rock star brides:) I shot her wedding in 2006 and  Trash the Dress session in Drumheller. Drumheller session was a remarkable one – pictures from this session help me to win few awards and international contest and whole session was recorded for CBC Radio Canada and went on air few weeks later.Few years later, Michelle decided to become a photographer. With her amazing artistic skills and wonderful personality  – she will be a great one. We even went together to Cuba to explore and learn/teach photography. It’s easy to be a teacher when you student has so much wit and talent. Wonderful time – great memories! I’m hoping to see how Michelle is living her dream – she has skills, good camera and she is an artist. Her paintings are beautiful, her pictures are getting better and better.

Liam and Zachary came on this world in the summer. We were planning a newborn session but this didn’t happen. They came to early and it took a while since Michelle was able to take them home from the hospital. Session took a place in the fall. I wanted to document first months of their life and it was a first baby session for Chris. Here they are, 3 months old, very active and not so easy to photograph;) They for sure keep Michelle busy – but there is only one thing better than love – double love.

Sneak peek from twins session  – cute and photogenic:)

Sweet session with the adorable newly born – Cayden.I processed whole session in black and white to stimulate my favorite film – Ilford 100.
