It’s Me | Edmonton Newborn Baby Photographer

I love my job, I love my job… In case I haven’t said it enough… I love my job. I have the best clients out there and they help me create the art that I am so inspired by daily. Today I woke up and realized it was “one of those days”. You know the kind of days where you just have to believe, hope and put your faith where it needs to and carry on.

A little about me (incase you haven’t heard it enough), I am a Mom of 2 beautiful, beautiful, beautiful girls (5 and 8) and we recently learned that my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I don’t yet know what I have learned from this to date but I just know that somehow I am still here and I am still a mom to my two beautiful girls. Every day seems like a new challenge but we are moving forward and spending every second we care at the palliative care unit at the Grey Nuns Hospital. Let me tell you something about that unit-the Nurses and staff are PHENOMENAL! Knowing my mom has the best care possible has allowed me to finally rest.

Another thing about me I wanted to share this morning is that I love preserving memories and I haven’t had time to scrapbook in so long but this morning I woke up with the urge to just take more pictures of my family and scrapbook them. And then, much to my surprise, in my Facebook feed was a post by my favourite digital scrapbook store The Lilypad and they are giving away a free kit called Jump for Joy in what they call a Facebook HOP on there FB page. It looks like an awesome kit and all I had to do was like each designers FB and download their portion of the kit and hop to the next one. It was 5 minutes of pure fun.

Back to me, we recently took a trip to Cabo for a friends wedding and my favourite part of the day was waking up before 6 am to catch the sunrise. Honestly, there is nothing more calming in the world then standing there, watching the sun rise, while listening to the sounds of the ocean. So this morning I found a picture that I fell in love with when I got home and I’m so glad I have it. This is where I go back to when I just need to breath. Nothing prepares you for losing your mother but this is how I have learned to carry on.

Presidents Grandson | edmonton newborn, baby photographer

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. – C.S Levis

I am fortunate enough to be good friends with Kin Canada’s National President (2012-2013).

As such, I have also been fortunate enough to photograph her for her National Campaign and then head shots when she came into office. I was then further honoured when she asked me to photograph her 1st grandchild Kayl. I have never seen a more enthusiastic grandmother around. Kayl was a sweet boy to photograph, and can you believe, mom pushed him out naturally without any help. Not even an epidural and he was 9lbs and 11.5 ozs.

Stunning Edmonton Newborn Baby, wagon, hats & wraps

When I think of this mother the first word that comes to mind is STRONG. It is not often that you run into a young mom that is so dedicated and excited about motherhood. -”I love your long hair, your little fingers & toes your beautiful eyes & your cute button nose I look at you & all I can do is smile, knowing your my beautiful child. I love you Logan I will do anything in this world for you always & forever.” I am so proud of this young lady, she has overcome such a heart-rendering event in her life with her first born-”feels so blessed to have the chance to be a mother again, for having such a supportive positive family surrounding me …..still miss & love our ceili baby everyday ”

Needless to say that when I found out she was pregnant with Logan I had to do her Maternity Pictures and I had to take Pictures of Logan after he was born. I will share her Maternity Later but today I want to share this sweet little ray of sunshine. He made my heart melt today and made me so grateful that I am so blessed with such loving people in my life.

So if you know a young mom just like this amazing mom-to-be who has an amazing story to share, send her my way because I just might be able to brighten her day.
