Deanne, Alex & Nolan - Family Portraits!

Last year, we were lucky enough to be able to photograph Alex & Deanne a la maternity (man, I'm good with words... ha ha).  

Now, their new arrival, Nolan, is ready for his first portrait review! We had an absolute hoot and can't wait 'til the next one - don't get too good with that camera, Deanne or we won't be coming back!  Ha ha!

I dare you to not smile back at Nolan in these pictures:

Arisha's First Birthday

We had the opportunity to shoot Arisha's first birthday, which was held at the Palace Banquet & Conference Facility here in Edmonton.

It was fun and crazy, with kids jumping off the walls and trying to steal our cameras.

Take a look, starting with the birthday girl herself:

Ryan & Jenn's Winter Wedding!

We were looking forward to Ryan and Jenn's winter wedding and it did not disappoint. It was our last of the year and it was the perfect wedding to end on. We met this couple earlier in the year at Stephen & Ashley's wedding, where Jenn was a bridesmaid.

Despite really bad weather and roads, this couple had some hot shots. The whole wedding party was a blast and we can't wait to see you guys again!

Take a look at Ryan and Jenn's "winter weddingland":

Jenn, the Houdini bride

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

A tearful hug from Jenn's grandpa, who walked her down the aisle.

A little old school magic - even though we got that cane confiscated afterwards.  Thanks to the staff at the Rutherford House at the University of Alberta for putting up with all our antics!

I love this blue room!

We love this shot!!

Beis Maternity Shoot!

A couple months ago (when it was warm) we had the pleasure of shooting Alex & Deanne's maternity photos. They are a wonderful couple and we had absolutely no problem getting such beautiful pictures - as you will soon find out.

The reason these pictures weren't up earlier is because the name "Nolan" was a surprise and they didn't want it to be leaked to the family, so now that Nolan is born and cuter than ever, it is our pleasure to reveal the pictures from that day - enjoy...

So pretty!  Probably Rachel's favourite!

So manly! Dan's favourite!

Chen Family Portraits!

After shooting Scott & Susan's wedding back in August, we were happy to get a phone call from them to shoot fall family photos. We love the entire Chen family - they make us come alive and we always have such an amazing time with them.

Hope you guys love the shots - see you again very soon.

Anna's Big Surprise!

A couple months ago, in between the craziness of wedding season, we had the pleasure to be part of Anna's surprise gift to her husband: the motorbike and the photoshoot. We thought that Turner Park in Fort Saskatchewan lent the perfect backdrop.

We had to wait until she gave him the bike to post. So, now that's it's all been a big hit, here are the photos:
