LoveBugs

 This was so much fun! The idea was inspired by Shannon Sewell,  a photographer whose work I admire. Hope you all had a fantastic Love Day with the ones you adore!

Miss Mya

 The first time I met Mya she was just a couple weeks old, in a short year she has transformed into the most beautiful little love. Mya has the most beautifully shaped eyes and is a perfect mix of her mom and dad not to mention sweet as can be! I tried to convince mom that she could leave Mya with me for the day....... maybe next time LOL! The first photo is from her newborn session and the rest mark her first birthday! Thanks for stopping by!

This one in my favorite!

Are you all ready for Christmas???

    Hey friends,
        I just wanted to quickly share a couple images from my last session, I will do a full post for Mya soon.... I don't know about you all but this time of year seems to get stressful, it's busy everywhere, people forget their manners and get aggresive and the deadlines are daunting. At the same time it's lovely.... when you see folks volunteering, baking and my favorite of all the kiddos.....the questions they ask, the reactions to the decorations lights and the big dude in red and the pure amazement alive and almost twinkling in their eyes. That's what it's all about....... so if you are feeling a little blue, overwhelmed or fed up have a look at this beautiful little girl and I guarantee you will feel better. Isn't she a doll!!!

Birthday Boy

   Meet Nathan, he is super sweet and has gorgeous creamy skin and light blue eyes, and has just celebrated his first birthday ( I was priveleged to watch his first cake tasting!!!) Meet Nathan's Mom & Dad, they love hime to bits, isn't it obvious!!! I know I say it all the time, but i'm gonna say it again. I feel honored every time somebody chooses me and trusts in me to represent their children, families and the special times in their life through images. And even though we may only share a few hours together my life has been enriched by getting to witness the love that people share for eachother, and now that I have gone all sappy on you all. I want to thank all of my wonderful clients for being so flippin fabulous! Thanks for stopping by!!!

My Fave!!

The way he snuggled into his dad here melted my heart!

I told ya.....they love him to bits!

OK, it was tough to put this one up with those blue jerseys on.......Flames jerseys would look much better LOL buuuut  it's still a great picture!

Cake time!!!!

Team Armitage

It has been almost 3 weeks since my last entry....yikes! Life seems to get so incredibly busy at this time of year, between school, sickness and sessions I tell ya. At the very top of my Christmas wishlist is to have some lovely person come and clean my house once a week..... ahhhhh that would be glorious and oh the work I could get done (the fun work). 

The Armitage crew is just as busy as we are with 3 little ones so it's always a blast when we get together..... the middle child Haiden is soooo busy, Rori (the oldest) has a super kind heart and is such a sweetheart and the little man, well we don't really know yet, he seems pretty chilled to me. Thank you guys for patiently waiting for this post.

Little Dude

   The cutest little kiddos have been coming to see me and Austen was no exception! We had this session the day before his first birthday and it's the absolute perfect time to do a session...... most kids aren't quite walking yet (this is a huge help) and they are so full of curiosity, innocence and a little drool!!! Love it! Happy Birthday Austen, come back and see me again, it's one of the best perks of being a photographer is seeing how much little ones change year to year! I hope that you all had a blast with your little trick or treaters and a Happy Halloween. Thanks for stopping by,

Love his little chapeau with the skull

Dad wasn't too sure about the babylegs, I think it's super cute!

This is my favorite.... I would have it made into a 16 by 20 or bigger, love the drool and the little fingers!

He's wearing the right jersey!! Dad too!!

Gorgeous

Busy Izzy

 I had a hard time keeping up to this little 15 month old, once they get they walking papers they are off! It's almost as though they need to make up for the many months of stillness! Anyways Isabella is such a sweet little girl and it is obvious that she is adored! I hope that you are all well and gearing up to do some major turkey feasting this weekend! I am looking forward to photographing an awesome wedding this weekend.... and some turkey as well!

This one has Christmas card written all over it!

All Smiles

Sweet little Sadie is so stinkin cute and full of smiles! She was such a breeze to photograph not to mention her gorgeous parents too! I had such a great afternoon with these 3 and was so stoked to have Dad's Harley in some of the shots!
