Short and Sweet Photography

Indeed…look at her!!!! She is definitely short and sweetI think they came to the right place-ha! Especially because I thought that she looked like Cindy-Lou Who(from the Grinch–keep up people) and we call our house ‘Pughville’. In fact, when I read that book to our kids, I always say ‘All the Pugh’s down in Pughville, the big and the small’…it was meant to be.

Private parking for Sweetapple & Co…I think that’s them

Okay…funny thing, the magnet he is holding says ‘I hate everyone’…ha, ha, ha…that is his dad’s beer fridge. Seriously. Nothing is off limits with me

So, I like to get shots of mom and dad cuddling. I told them to sit together on the couch and this is what they gave me:

Somehow, we worked our way through to this:

That was more like what I was looking forThanks guys for the fun day. It started raining as I walked out your house. What luck that it held off until then!!!

Okay, okay…so I got a new computer. AND…I got a cold…so I got behind. And, my blog suffered. Who knew that getting a computer up and running would be so much workAnd, I’m thinking I need a tech guy that is not my husband…for the sake of our relationship. Seriously. I need a person I don’t care about to blame when things don’t go smoothly…ha, ha, ha…Anyhow…

 I had a contest in September. A comment contest. I do this every month. It is my way of saying thanks to those people who take the time to comment. $20 at Starbucks goes to Kim!!! And, I know that she will be the first to read this post, so send me your address so I can send you your card!!! This month I think I’ll give away $20 at Ikea. Use it to buy meatballs(my kids can’t get enough of those things)…let the commenting begin!

I had a large family session awhile back that I haven’t blogged yet. It was a different thing for me to have so many people at a session. It was hard to decide what to blog as a sneak peek! So, here’s a few to tide you all over!

This little beauty might look familiar as she won my canvas contest!

Have a great week everyone!!!

This past weekend something rare happened–I had two shoots in Okotoks!!! For those that aren’t in the know, I live in Okotoks. And, it is a rare treat. I got to sleep in one day and the other day, I actually made Jack’s hockey game before my shoot Okotoks is beautiful in the fall–not that these images really show all of that, but it is.

So, my first Okotoks shoot was with a family I had met before. They were lovely and laid back in their beautiful fall sweaters. What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful fall morning.

These two are high school sweethearts. I’m getting a lot of those lately. I often ask couples how they met, etc…and hearing their story of how he bought her french fries and then, while waiting for the bus, asked her if she wanted to be his girlfriend was so cute. And, now, some _ years later(no one really needs to know, do they?), they have three gorgeous girls.

When you make girls this cute, you should just keep making them

Love her hair in this one…

Okay…so two things. First, I got a fashion lesson from this one. I asked her if that was her mother’s sweater from when she was young. Ummmm…no, it was not. It was a ‘TNA’ brand(now, I’m probably writing that out wrong and she is going to email me to tell me how it’s really spelled). Second, she said she was going to be Wonder Woman for halloween. Her dad said he was going as a hunter. Can you blame him?

Daddy’s girls…

And, a crazy family one. I haven’t posted one of these in awhile and I thought that this one was funny. The things I make people do

Their treat–caramel apples. What a perfect way to end a fall session. Thanks guys for hanging out with me. Hope you found your keys!

 PS–I got a new computer. This is causing a bit of backlog in my life. I think that the computer issues have mostly been resolved and things will shortly get back to normal.
