Studio Family Portrait Session • Calgary's Family Photographer
This session is absolutely beautiful! I had great pleasure in meeting and photographing this wonderful family. They are some of the most kind people I've ever met, and I absolutely adore them. I believe that a good relationship is a recipe for great photos and an amazing experience!
We did a blend of a sitter and family session to capture little Ethan's sitting milestone, while still including the entire family and enjoying the beautiful relations and interactions between them! Lucas, big brother, is such a little ball of energy! He was so adorable, straining as big of a smile he could the entire time and I loved that mom and dad embraced it. I think it's really adorable when children are so enthusiastic and I love capturing those sweet expressions. Even if the smiles appear to be larger than life, those photos will be so adorable and bound to encourage a giggle or two, years down the road.
This family is so sweet and so kind. Their excited expressions when they saw their portraits for the first time had my heart leaping for joy, I absolutely LOVE when families adore their photos! I feel like getting pictures done is often a bigger deal that we initially anticipate, but I love making clients feel like I go that extra mile to give everyone the attention they want when hiring a professional, offering that expert advice when it comes to providing a service, and ultimately have them feeling like they got everything they wanted and more. I like to make people fall in love with photography and the full-service experience!
When you see your photos for the first time, I am excited to hear you're little shrieks of joy and hearing the excitement bubble up in your chest. And when it comes to receiving your photos, I can't wait to see you rip open the wrapping paper and hold those precious memories in your hands.
"I wish that photographers would come and hang the artwork, too" was a comment that was expressed to me during the ordering appointment, and I was SO excited to hear those words. Because, I DO! And once their wall art arrived, I packed up my specialized tools, drove to their beautiful home to deliver their photos, made sure everything was perfect, and hung their photos on the wall. They were so happy, I just LOVE to make people smile and have them gush over how easy and wonderful their experience and photos are! It fuels me to do the very best that I can every single time.
VARIETY is so much fun to add to galleries! Clients always get such a wide array of portraits to pick from. From formal and posed, to candid and expressive. It's a blast! These black and white headshots are always some of my favourites to include because they always get a laugh, or an "aww" or an "oh wow!" from parents.
Even the smaller details like hands and feet are worth capturing. I know it's a popular shot to do with newborn babies, but how about for older kiddos, too? :)
Ethan was quite amused with all the different boxes and bowls we put him in! While he could mostly sit on his own, he still needed a bit of extra support. But that's perfectly fine, I have lots of crates, boxes and bowls that offer support for those little ones just on the brink of sitting!
Some wet kisses for Mom and big laughs with Dad! We captured a couple of milestone portraits with Mom & Dad, and one day Ethan can look back and smile over these beautiful photos of himself in the arms of his parents.
I had so much fun with this session, from the moment the inquiry came through my email to the day I hung the photos on their walls, this family was such a huge pleasure to meet and work with and I look forward to seeing them all again soon!
Thank you so much to the Eng Family for trusting me with their memories, and for being such AMAZING clients. Thank you for putting as big of a smile on my face as the ones you always have on yours, your positive energy and kindred personalities are inviting and motivating!
