Fun in the SNOW!
December 23, 2009 by vanessa

My last shoot of the season is complete and it was a blast! Fresh snow had just fallen that morning and having a snowball fight with light fluffy snow makes it seem more like it’s snowing as each one falls apart mid air. Either way it was still a lot of fun!

After only 30 minutes we were all sufficiently frozen. Once I had to wipe away an unnoticed tear from this little guys cheek for the last couple shots, we knew it was time to go in.

Thanks for a great shoot Jackson family, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Something a little different for Authentic Impressions!
Some long time friends of mine had a gig at The Palomino on Friday. I stopped in and took a bunch of shots of their performance. Having heard them play a number of times I must say they just keep getting better and better. Great show guys!!

After a little patience and a few distraction techniques this HANDSOME guy cozied up to the camera and even gave us a few great shots! I called him pretty a few times during the shoot and was corrected by Dad that he was not “pretty” but “cute” or ‘handsome” …I had to laugh…

Too CUTE! | calgary family photographer

This family was SO wonderful, their love for each other came out in everything they did! These little girls were beyond adorable, prepared with poses and loads of smiles. Seriously made my job way too easy.  Their funny pic we did at the end actually made me laugh out loud when I pulled it up on my computer.

These two little girls were born on the same day, in the same hospital only 3 hours apart. What’s amazing is that their mothers are best friends. Yes this is myself and my best friend and our little ladies are meant to be best friends also or so it would seem. For their 6 months we took them into the studio and did some photos together.

Working with the Freeborn family was an absolute delight. They have just finished building what can only be described as a dream home on a quiet beautiful piece of land south of Calgary. Their dog (whom I won’t even try to spell her name) was so sweet and probably the most tame animal I’ve worked with to date.

Thanks guys for a making this shoot so much fun!

My Babes 6 Month Photos

My little girl just turned a half year old so of course it’s an excuse to put her in front of the camera! She is growing to love the camera far more than a 6 month old should!

It’s not too often that an outdoor shoot with an infant works out in November, but with this relatively mild weather a window was opened today. These guys are long time good friends of mine and it was so nice working with them. Their daughter who would never have stood for a shoot like this in the past, took it on like a pro and gave me a few of my new favourite shots!

Today I worked with a wonderful family. This little girl was determined not to give her parents a smile. At one point I even had the rain deer antlers on myself…nothing. LOL. But Mom knows best and got her interested in the backdrop, something about it got a few brief smiles out and we caught them! Also this outfit…way to cute!

A beautiful family! | calgary family photographer

I’ve been working with Derek, Tara and Sidney since this little boy was in his Mama’s belly. They are so beautiful and it has been such a joy watching them grow together. The last time I saw Sidney he was just teeny tiny, no more than 7lb and now he is a ball of energy and excitement.

Tara and Derek, make sure you tell him that there is more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking ;) I had so much fun with you guys today!
