A Family Photoshoot on the Farm!
Hocus Focus Photography specializes in Family, Maternity & Newborn Photography in the Calgary, Airdrie, and Rocky View Areas of Alberta.
Before I jump into this blog, I just want to say that this past week has been a whirlwind with the kids on spring break. Balancing household chores and keeping up with my photography business has been quite the juggle!
Funny story – someone on my socials recently asked me about the toughest part of running my photography gig. And you know what? Right now, it's definitely finding those pockets of time to work with the kiddos buzzing around!
Don't get me wrong, being self-employed and working from home is amazing. Having the kids around adds a whole new layer of joy to the mix. But sometimes, I catch myself feeling a tad guilty about the workload stacking up while I'm playing referee or building forts!
But hey, soon enough, they'll be back in the classroom, and I'll be back in the groove, tackling that to-do list like a champ! 💪 Here's to a productive week ahead once I catch up on all that's been waiting for my attention.
I've been buzzing with excitement this week as I gear up for the upcoming outdoor season. 🌷 With spring break treating us to some stunning weather, the kids have been soaking up every ray of sunshine – and it's been a joy to see them out and about!
Now, it's my turn to step into that warm, sunny world and capture those magical family moments in the great outdoors. My calendar's filling up fast, with just a spot or two left. It's funny how spring has this knack for nudging families to think, "Hey, it's been a minute since our last family photoshoot, hasn't it?" And before you know it, those spots vanish quicker than you can say "cheese"! 😉 So, if you've been contemplating a session, now's the time to snag your spot before they're all gone.
Let me share a little story about one of the amazing families I have the pleasure of photographing every year. These folks are absolute gems – they're so organized, booking their session a year in advance like clockwork! Their farm is like stepping into a picture-perfect postcard. Tucked away just outside of Madden, it's a slice of heaven you wouldn't want to miss. 🌾
Now, if you're not familiar with Madden, no worries! Just grab your trusty Google Maps and head west between Airdrie and Crossfield. You'll find this quaint little hamlet nestled in there, almost hidden from sight. But let me tell you, it's a hidden treasure worth discovering! There's an awesome little golf course/campground there (my first summer job ever!) so you outdoor enthusiasts who like to play a couple rounds throughout the season might find a little gem in plain sight out there.
Picture this: serene, tranquil, and those summer sunsets? Mesmerizing! Trust me, once you experience it, you'll never want to leave.
You know what makes a great place even greater? The company you keep while you're there. And let me tell you, this crew? They're the epitome of goodness and wholesomeness!
There's something special about capturing their radiant smiles against the backdrop of their farm. Cruising around in their trusty gator tractor, scouting out those picture-perfect spots – it's pure joy!
Now, I've learned the hard way to never forget the bug spray. Those mosquitoes can be quite the nuisance out there! But hey, a few itchy bites are a small price to pay for the incredible memories we create. Just take a peek at these stunning shots – they speak for themselves!
I've been fortunate to be a part of this family's journey for years now – from the time their youngest was just a tiny newborn. It's been an incredible experience watching these little ones grow and documenting those precious family moments year after year.
Working with families like theirs feels like the ultimate bonding session. It's all about creating memories, sharing laughter, and capturing those unforgettable moments that you'll cherish forever.
Picture this: it's like a cozy family game night, but with a twist. Instead of flipping the Monopoly board in frustration, imagine being surrounded by warmth and laughter, with the most breathtaking Alberta sunset painting the sky. It's moments like these that make you feel truly alive!
Oh, and here's a fun tidbit – I can officially say I've had the pleasure of including COWS in a photoshoot! 🐄 Just when I thought I'd seen it all, our four-legged friends joined in, adding an extra dose of charm to our family portraits. And let me tell you, every moment spent with those lovable creatures was an absolute delight – stinky or not!
I'm absolutely over the moon to have this wonderful family lined up for the upcoming season. Who knows what other surprises and adventures await us! Armed with my trusty bug spray and camera, I can't wait to capture more precious moments with these amazing folks – and maybe even track down a few of Dad's elusive smiles along the way! 😄
A heartfelt thank you goes out to this beautiful family for their ongoing support and trust in my small business. It's families like yours that truly bring the magic to Hocus Focus Photography. Without you all, I might just be stuck in a dull office job! So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for brightening my days and allowing me to do what I love – and have an absolute blast doing it – during our family photoshoots! 📸
