Graduation

The other week my daughter Amanda, graduated 8th grade. It was a wonderful evening and ceremony can’t believe she starts highschool  this fall! Amanda and her friends have grown up so much these past 8 years, it’s hard to know where the time went!  It was my great pleasure to shoot these girls before the ceremony and be a part of such a great evening and memory…..

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Married

These two love birds were married a few months back but wanted a few images done outdoors. How lucky am I to shoot a bride and groom and have them all to myself for 2 hours? These two had great personalities, plenty of humour and they really struck me as perfect together. It was a great time. Love the images we captured! Thanks B&C for putting up with my humour and helping me find my keys!

  

 

Siblings

I know what you’re thinking - this is a good-looking group.. they are, but they are also great sports and a darn nice bunch of siblings. Thanks guys - I love the results from our shoot. Hopefully you feel the same!

One father and son shot because I love it

 

             To the outside world, we all grow old.   But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were/ We know each other’s hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We outside the touch of time.  Carla Ortega

My Kids

A long over due post of photos of my kids.

My girls…

Natasha has just started walking, so cute…

They’re laughing at Natasha because;

She’s making this 2-tooth grin at them (she has them wrapped around her finger)

Smithville Christian High School - SDCH

I’ve been shooting at Smithville Christian High over the last few weeks taking images for their promotional material.  I’ve had the pleasure of capturing Boys Soccer, the cast of the drama production (The Mouse that Roared), Chapel, Creative Arts evening, the Community Choir as well as regular student life. I’d like to tell you that it makes me feel like a teen again - but nope. I have enjoyed it though!

Newborn Twin Sisters

13 days fresh. So tiny and sleepy and perfect. Thanks Dad for being a good sport and Mom for letting us just ‘do our thing’. Your girls are beautiful blessings in every way and I loved the time I got to share with them!

 

       

Saskatchewan - Hard to spell, easy to draw ;)

We took a day trip down to Sedona - the forecast was snow but wasn’t about to stop a bunch of Canadians! LOL There was no snow after all, just lots of wonderful scenery to absorb…
