Absolute Photography: I {heart} Fall! - Grande Prairie Engagement Photography

Here's to a great fall day today! It is my last wedding of the season, so Mother Nature.. if you could please make it a great one?!

This cute couple (below) is taking advantage of next year's beautiful fall colors for their wedding. We got together earlier this week for their engagement photos; here are just two that make me smile.

Absolute Photography: Ty & Emily - Grande Prairie Photography

Last month my brother asked me to take some photos of him and Emily. She was here for a visit from Maine. Thanks for the visit, letting me take some photos for the two of you, and I hope to see you again soon!

Absolute Photography: Mr. & Mrs. T - Grande Prairie Family Photography

Last week while photographing the T family I snapped a couple of Mom and Dad. Sometimes a photo just needs shared right now... :) Enjoy!

Absolute Photography: G+D = Forever - Grande Prairie Wedding and Engagement Photography

I have known this (soon to be) bride forever - so when she asked me last year if I would photograph her big day I said "Yes Please!". See you guys next weekend for a wonderful day!

Absolute Photography: R&J Married! Sneak Peek - Grande Prairie Wedding Photography

August 14, 2010 - This wedding was great! We started out in Rio Grande where the girls all got ready in their families home (yes their - all of the bridesmaids were the brides sisters!). Then once everyone was beautiful the guys all came out and we did all the photos in the pretty yard and at an old homestead nearby. How awesome is this truck!? When we met up for engagement photos and drove past this great photo "backdrop" I wanted to use it then and there. I am so glad we saved it for their wedding day! This beautiful couple then said their vows at the Catholic Church in Grande Prairie and celebrated at the Centre 2000.

Thanks again for having me there to capture your day! Enjoy this sneak peek!

You know a photograph is truly a "snapshot" when one sock is missing ;) Happy Birthday M!

Absolute Photography: Morning Fog - Grande Prairie Fine Art Photography

I am sure I have already mentioned that I LOVE fog. Lately I haven't taken much time to just take pictures because I love taking pictures. I have been very busy with weddings, family portraits, etc. all of which I also love - but to just play with no expectations = pure FUN. So when I was driving yesterday and I saw fog - I pulled right over and spent 20 minutes playing in the ditch. These are the results;


The above web is smaller than the palm of my hand, and soo pretty with the water droplets still hanging from every strand.

Absolute Photography: Love Portraits - Grande Prairie Family Photography

Recently one of my wedding clients asked me to photograph her sister and brother in law - they would be travelling to Grande Prairie from Ontario for the wedding and could I photograph them while they were here? Ofcourse!

We managed to fit their session in the morning of the wedding and it was so much fun. We ran around the backyard of her family's farm, even ended the session with some jumping on the trampoline.






I always enjoy photographing couples that are so much in love. Many couples get their engagement photos, then their wedding photos, and then wait until they start having kids before they get any more photos done. Why wait? Why not celebrate your love now! I also offer anniversary portrait sessions - whether it's your 1st anniversary or your 40th it's worth capturing the moment :)

Absolute Photography: Happy Boys - Grande Prairie Children and Family Photography

Remember these "unhappy boys"? Well this fall we had a much more successful session! These family photos down at O'brien Park were way more fun for these guys as well as for me and their Mom.

Enjoy!

Absolute Photography: Baby Girl K - Grande Prairie Newborn Photography

I had the pleasure of cuddling and photographing this sweet little girl a couple of weeks ago. What a wide-eyed sweet heart. She was 2 weeks old here - Thanks to Mom "M" for having me over!

Absolute Photography: Baby E aka. Baby Buddercup - Grande Prairie Newborn Photography

Ok.. every session that I look at tonight I want to work on RIGHT NOW. So, more sharing!!

Welcome to the world Baby girl E! I am so excited to watch you grow!

Absolute Photography: Oooh! - Grande Prairie Family Photography

Ok! MORE sneak peeks! Well technically this session was over and done when I took these photos. We had walked back to our vehicles and this little missy finds a caterpillar right beside their van. It's so much fun to see a child's reaction to things like this. You could tell she thought it was awesome and somewhat icky at the same time - it kept inching it's way up her hand towards the sleeve of her shirt - and she was NOT letting it get up there! haha SO CUTE. Funny how some of my favorite photos are the ones that I don't have to work for!





Thanks C family for a great session! I am glad that we were finally able to get together!

Absolute Photography: New Camera! - Grande Prairie Family Photography

Recently I decided to upgrade my camera... to a NIKON! This has been a huge change for me. Ever since I adopted my Dad's old circa 1980's Pentax when I was a teenager I have used Pentax gear. The change to Nikon sort of felt like I was cheating my "team". However after a couple of weeks of shooting with this new camera I am SO HAPPY to have made this change! It is awesome. I think I am officially done editing/sharing photos that were shot with my old gear - so from here on out these are "new camera" photos! For those wondering, the new camera is a D700.

While uploading some photo's from this week I just had to share a quick photo of this smiley guy! Thanks for a great morning in the park H family!
