Oliver's birth story

Wed, 25 Jun 2014 13:47:21 GMT

Welcome to the world Oliver Roger Kirkwood!

I am in LOVE with birth photography. It is down right amazing.

I arrived at St. John's hospital around 12:30pm June 6th 2014. Oliver was born at 3:02pm. Those few short hours flew by as I quietly stood in a corner behind the scenes, capturing every little moment of this amazing birth story. Birth Photography is candid, unscripted, and unposed. It is witnessing something that will never happen again and capturing those moments forever. I am honored to have been able to photograph this event and so incredibly excited to do it again in the near future. Congrats Kirkwood family!

Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:16:54 GMT

A quick blog post on this 10 day old cutie. Dexter rocked his session. He looks pretty cute in that aviator hat!

Reagan lifestyle newborn

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:32:00 GMT

I photographed this little beauty about a month ago. We were able to capture her in her own home for a fantastic lifestyle session. It is not always easy getting older siblings to sit and pose for any sibling shots but these guys did fantastic! Welcome to the world Reagan!

Cole

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:30:56 GMT

Oh this little guy was so precious! I was able to photograph his beautiful mama during her pregnancy and was so excited to capture Cole's newborn shots. He rocked his session sleeping soundly through all of our poses. Welcome to the world baby Cole!

Ethan

Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:02:20 GMT

I met up with this little guy and his family at the Guthrie. This horrible spring weather is forcing us to move all sessions indoors-not always fun for the little ones who want to only run, run, run! Ethan was a trooper as we all tried our best to work out some smiles and giggles from a determined little guy who not give up his dreaded pacifier. In the end we were all sweating but it was well worth it for a few little smiles from this adorable little guy. Happy birthday Ethan. I had a blast chasing you through those Guthrie hallways!

Cake smash cutie

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:03:17 GMT

Miss Anna just celebrated her first birthday. We went to town with cake, backdrops, more cake and more backdrops! Love it when they just sit and smile! What a fun session with this beautiful little lady.

Max & Bennett

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:52:17 GMT

I met up with these adorable little guys a few weeks back. Max just turned four and Bennett 4 months. Max pulled out all his grins and was a great trooper waiting patiently as we tried our best to get little Bennett to flash us his grin. The best part of this session is I found out this family lives in my neighborhood! Can't wait to see you guys soon at the park!

Emily

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:44:08 GMT

Miss Emily came into the studio a few weeks back for her first birthday cake smash. Poor little one was having an off day and just not feeling "photo" happy. Happens to the best of us. Once we pulled out the cake she flashed us some smiles. Funny how those little ones know just how to get what they want! Happy Birthday Emily. I love watching you and your sister grow into beautiful little ladies.

Rees

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:28:41 GMT

Rees was 10 days old when he came into the studio. I photographed big brother Graeme's newborn session just under two years ago. The two look very similar with those adorable chubby cheeks! Graeme came along for the newborn session and dished out some sweet brotherly hugs & kisses. I am sure these two will be the best of friends growing up! I love that I can capture families as they grow.

Miss Mara

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:02:51 GMT

I met up with sweet little Mara a fews ago. Miss Mara is now 6 months old and full of smiles. Big sister Gwen was a great little helper giving her little sis lots of cuddles and tickles. Great to see you E family! I love that we were able to capture Mara in the same yellow basket as her newborn session. Might have to include this in her 1 yr shots!

Happy Birthday Easton

Myles

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 02:31:57 GMT

This sweet little guy just celebrated his first birthday. We were able to capture every outfit, smile, pose and cheerio filled grin that Myles gave us! Happy Birthday to this handsome little guy. Can't wait to see the little man again for spring mini sessions!

Miles

Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:38:30 GMT

Sweet little Miles rocked his newborn session sleeping for the full two hours! We were able to capture his older sisters giving him a few kisses. This little guy sure is loved!

Sweet baby Alice

I am giving this blog one more shot! It seems to be the first thing to cut when falling behind-hence the lack of posts since September!

First up are 3 adorable little kiddos I met a few weeks back. I absolutley love when families try to incorporate some cold weather winter shots into their photo session. I love that we were able to capture some beautiful falling snowflakes! Great to see you again W family.

This blog of mine is falling far behind (about 25 sessions behind!)

Why not kick off getting back into the blogging routine with a wedding post!

I had a fantastic time photographing this beautiful couple. We had gorgeous evening sun, a couple surrounded by loving family, and an absolutely stunning location for their intimate ceremony. Thank you Kerri & Jeff for inviting me to capture your big night. Congrats to you both!

Double the fun

Tue, 29 May 2012 22:11:00 GMT

Gabe and Rudy have reached their 6 week mark! Here are just a few pictures we attempted to take over Memorial day weekend. Between feedings, needy 2, 3 and 4 yr olds and a flow of visitors we managed to get just a few pics. I would love to try again soon but might need to bring about 7 helpers! Thanks Anna for a great bbq and a fun afternoon of posing your newest little guys.

This little sweetie just celebrated her first birthday. We lucked out with a beautiful evening forecast and a happy little one year old. Ava was not a fan of touching the grass but rocked the bucket shots for me! Who knew you could have so much fun in a bucket? Happy first birthday Ava!

Bell Family

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 18:44:19 GMT

I was so excited for my little mini session this with family. Big sister Hannah was eager to help out and even picked out a few spots to pose for me. Abrianna was all about the smiles while twin brother Ashton was all about exploring. Great to see you Bell family! It was a busy little mini session but always a blast (even when we lock you kids in the car by accident!)...oh the joys of parenthood.

Sweet little Nora

Reg and George make the blog

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 20:36:41 GMT

Last weekend I photographed a very good friend and her adorable little boys. We hit up an old abandoned barn at the end of our session. The barn is absolutely gorgeous but unfortunately is going to be torn down so my sessions at this perfect spot are soon to be coming to an end. The boys did fantastic and I love the barn shots. Now if only I could somehow buy this barn and transport it to my folks property.

Simon (again!)

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:45:43 GMT

Simon makes the blog again! How could a beautiful face like this not deserve 2 blog posts? Love this family shot.

Will and Eleanor

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:59:45 GMT

I met these two cuties a few weeks back. They both have amazing eyes! Will took a bit to warm up to me but by the end of the session was flashing smiles left and right. It was so great to meet you M family.

Addy is 9 months

Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:55:54 GMT

Simon 6 days new

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:53:17 GMT

Benny at 6 months

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:01:46 GMT
