kiddos
Sugar + spice + everything nice ---that was only half of the story when it came to taking photos of this sweet *girl in Winnipeg's Exchange District.
We spent a 'brisk' afternoon hanging out. Me with my camera + *girl with an endless supply of energy. Adventure was the name of the game... and there was much adventure to be had. Despite the cold, we found rooftop hideouts, hidden tunnels, and cupcakes to cap off our time.

Smiles all around from the three musketeers. The day couldn't have gone any better both with the weather and this little bright eyed gal. Just over a year old, little miss*lively was trucking all around the park on this lovely fall day. And how on earth her parents keep up with her I just don't know. I'm especially excited for this wonderful trio because soon the three will become FOUR!!! Congrats to Mama and Papa N- and soon to be big sister.

Congrats on the soon to be edition to the *N family- Until then, I hope you can find a few moments to rest.

Taking photos of the W*family is always an adventure. Mom & dad W* always give me the forewarning that the kiddos have "energy", and I always take it as a personal challenge respond with "Bring it on! We'll see who gets tired out first!"
We checked out the park around Fort Gibraltar - and found a great use for the exterior wall. It also might have been one of the best autumn days in Winnipeg this year, so clearly a leaf throwing was essential to the shoot. After about an hour of running, climbing, skipping, wondering through tall grass, hiding under the cover of fall foliage, and chugging along the train tracks we said our goodbyes... everyone a little more tired than when we began. But if anyone asks, I think I won.
Take a look at the last photo and you be the judge.

And the winner is....
Not many people get to say this-- but I LOVE what I do.
I love being a tante (and auntie) to five of the most loveliest, funnest, cutest, and sometimes craziest kids.
AND sometimes when I'm lucky I get a chance to take photos of them...
I get to capture a moment in their life. Freezing it for all time. Smiles. Giggles. Tears and all.
Love*LIFE!

Photos Tips when taking photos of KIDDOS!
- Use natural light! If you can have a BIG open window instead of heaps of studio light- do it! It's easy/fun, and it means you don't need to use flash.
- Put your ass to the glass. Believe it or not= this was a tip I got from a photographer friend. With you back to the light it lights the area infront perfectly... I was standing in front of a big bay window for these photos.
- Get them to be laugh! Be silly with them... get them to do silly things. My niece wanted to sit upside down out of nowhere, and they are some of the BEST photos of the day *(having said that the ones where she wanted to try summersaults it wasn't so amazing... but you can delete those).
- Be snap happy. You never know when they'll crack a good smile, or silly face.
- If you have treats- USE THEM! I didn't bring any for this shoot simply cuz my sister had things around her house... but on other shoots I've forgotten to bring them and needles to say I could have REALLY used them.
This past weekend I was able to spend a beautiful day with some of my lovelies!! I had a fun time taking photos! (But truthfully, I think the girls really enjoyed the part when we had "coffee break" and sat drinking juice and snaking on smarties).
Happy soon to be 5 *L! And *E, you are soooo a grown up and wise!
Love you both- your Tante [k]
