My Sweet Jairus Liam | Maternity Leave

Here is my 3rd sweet little reason for maternity leave....

{ I will be taking maternity leave for the remainder of 2014 } 

On February 22, 2014 we welcomed our sweet little baby, Jy, into the world.  He was born at home in a birth pool, anxiously awaited all morning long by his siblings, Aubrey and Brodie.  At 1:57pm he decided to make his appearance! What a sweet little boy, we love him with our whole hearts!

My Belly | 37 Weeks

Well, I am officially 40 Weeks today! I am so blessed by these images, and even more blessed to be friends with the photographer who took them for me.  I had an idea of what I wanted my session to be like, and Carin completely captured it and more.... Here are a few from my own Maternity Session, it was so hard to choose. I love them all! The photographer is the talented Carin, from the husband-wife team of www.gabrielandcarin.com .  Amazing.

Now just awaiting baby's arrival....

Sloane Adelin | 2 Weeks

Another special little photo session took place on my trip to Canada.  This is another baby I just can't wait to get to know! I love her and I love her family.... Welcome to the world pretty Sloane!

Taves Sawyer | 5 Days .... Williston, ND Newborn Photographer

It was awesome to be back in my home town for the birth of this little guy! I loved being able to catch up with my girlfriends, and wait around for Taves to make his appearance.  We were able to do his newborn session at 5 days old, the day I had to leave!

Love this special family!

Welcome to the world sweet baby boy...

Leaves : October Days

Before I keep posting snow photos (with i A-D-O-R-E), I wanted to share some photos from the day of Aubrey's 2nd birthday.  It was picture perfect Autumn here in Canada while all the leaves changed to orange, yellow and reds....and it was her first time playing in piles of them...don't you love "first's"?!

La Rochelle, France

Slowly but surely I am making my way backwards in my photo library and getting our travel photos finished up! I absolutely love them...sometimes I even appreciate them more by letting them sit for awhile before getting to them!

I hope you enjoy our La Rochelle photos.  It was such a picturesque city on the west coast of France. Highlights were taking Aubrey on the beautiful carousel (which we saw a few of in France! How much more lovely than those ugly little carnivals they set up in parking lots over here!)...as well as the famous La Rochelle Aquarium (where she met an adorable little french boy to play with! He kind of reminded me of a little French Hudson :)

Enjoy!

We loved our quaint little Hotel De La Paix accomodation!

SNOW!!!! ... Williston, ND Children Photographer

Because we lived in Australia last winter, we missed out on snow (okay "missed out" might not be the best way to put it!). Instead of playing in SNOW for the first time, Aubrey played in SAND :) Pretty nice exchange.  However, we are excited about the white stuff around here...and here are some photos of her first ever play in the snow (just yesterday!)





Next up is our "15 Minutes of Halloween" : (literally. this cinderella and lion lasted long enough for a few snaps).



And as I have been editing away on the L-Family photos, I also owed them some summer shots.  I couldn't resist posting some of the adorable new addition to their family : Maclean Jax at just a couple months old!
