Meet Mya ~ Prince Albert Photographer

I know I say it all the time but I genuinely love what I do, I am privileged to share in some of the most important days of peoples lives. It was not so long ago that I photographed the wedding of now Mom and Dad!! I will never forget their special day as it was the first wedding I photographed here in Prince Albert after moving from Calgary, although I was a total newcomer on the scene these two went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Now they are blessed with a beautiful baby girl and again I felt so privileged to capture such a super special time in their lives. This family is so photogenic and gorgeous that my job was easy as pie! Onto the pictures....... meet Miss Mya , 13 days old, lovely!!!

Delightfully, Mandi

Look at the gorgeous little smile in this one!!

The Scriveners ~ Prince Albert Photographer

Since this session the temperature has dropped and we are sitting at a balmy -30 degrees and there is snow on the ground. That will give you an indication of how far behind that i've gotten with the business of November, but I am relieved to say that I am almost caught up and won't be spending my holidays behind the computer...whew! I adore this down to earth family and loved spending the afternoon with them, they even fed me lunch before I left, I have the best clients!! I photographed Miss E (the little one) when she was pretty fresh and am going to dig up one of the shots so you can see how she has changed in such a short period of time. She is 10 months and walking....blows my mind. Miss N. is such a love and gave me a proper tour of the property and introduced me to the cats!! Mom makes the most amazing cakes that I have seen and Dad enjoys flying in his plane. Such a beautiful family. Enjoy the sneak peek!!

Max & Max ??? ~ Prince Albert Photographer

The boys seem to think that they are both Max, it's the funniest thing! They wonder around looking for each other and calling out Ma-a (Max)!!! They are now 18 months and all I can say is wow they are busy!! The only time their little bodies stop moving at full tilt is when they are sleeping, which thank goodness they are good sleepers or i'd be in big trouble. Maybe it's a twin thing, maybe it's a boy thing, I haven't got a clue........ someday they will slow down......right??

While everyone was watching the grey cup game last weekend here is what I was doing. Thanks to Aunt B. for helping me out, the effort was so worth it. Now I know that i'm a tad biased being their mama and all but come on don't they look like little Gap models! The first picture is Max and the last 2 are of Smith (Max 2!).

Jasmine ~ Prince Albert Newborn Photography

This gorgeous little one comes from Alberta and is the fourth child for Mom and Dad!! She melted my heart from the moment I laid eyes on her and I must say we bonded during her session........ did I mention how much I love babies!!! Mom is an absolutely amazing lady and makes having 4 kids look easy peasy! They also run dog kennels outside of Calgary and are absolutely incredible with animals, so if anyone in the Calgary area is looking be sure to check out the link, your pooch would be well taken care of and loved!! Here are a few of my favorites of baby Jasmine at 19 days old. The first shot (yawn) may be one of my favorite ever newborn shots! Thanks for stopping by!

Attention Christmas Shoppers!!!

Guess what? I have a great gift idea.......... it could be for the family who hasn't had photos done in years, your friend who just had a baby, the newly engaged couple and well maybe even crazy aunt Sue...... just joking! It's a Philosophy Photography Gift Certificate!! You can make it out for any amount you like {all that info goes on the back of the card} and I will honor the G.C. for one whole year! It's definitely better than a tacky sweater, a gimmicky gadget or a snuglee blanket, I apologize if anyone has purchased the Snuglee Blanket but I think it's the craziest thing I have seen! Happy Christmas shopping!

Jennifer & Real ~ Married

For the past couple of weeks the weather here has been fantastic. Above 0, leaves on the ground and sunshine!! Jen and Real were married on an absolutely beautiful day. These two are such a sweet couple who love to laugh together and that is such a great quality to have, we are often far too serious. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day!!

Delightfully, Mandi

Miss E is absolutely adorable.... Mommy's favorite accessory!!

Holly & Robb ~ A Halloween Wedding

This was such a fun wedding that I know I will never forget! As we headed to our outdoor location for pictures, it was windy, snowy and cold! Through it all Holly stood outside in her strapless dress with a smile on her face and her new husband by her side and I think that speaks volumes about the kind of people that Holly and Robb are! Thank you guys for toughing it out through the cold, it was definitely well worth it and I love the winter look of the pictures! This post is picture jam packed as I had to include some of the costumes from the supper, {the guests were invited to don their costumes for the evening}. Here a a few of my favorites from the day. Be sure to click on the pictures to supersize them!

Delightfully, Mandi

Holly you are stunning!

I couldn't resist posting a few of the costumes

Loved this cake!!

Peyton Ruby

There is nothing in the world that compares to the absolute perfection of a brand new baby. I was so excited when asked to do this session for a few reasons, I genuinely adore this family {Miss Peyton is surrounded by love} and when Mom gets behind my camera it's like magic!! You may recognize her from my blog header!! In these photos Peyton is almost 7 weeks and just under 7 pounds of pure loveliness, I could have photographed her all day! Mom is a photographer as well so I must say i'm a tad nervous and hope that you guys love these as much as I do!! With that being said meet Miss Itty Bitty Peyton Ruby!!

Delightfully, Mandi
