Prete Fam




This is so overdue Sarah, cute family, you guys were fantastic. More to come I promise! I hope this fills some of your night time - Sarah is at that hard time where after 6 months, being up at night with a little one just isnt so do-able anymore. I can feel her pain believe me!! So anyone dying to babysit from say 10pm-7am, well, Sarah can help you out.

Jeremy came and cleaned our carpets for us and let me tell you, I have no idea how he got some of that out! I have ripped out 90% of the carpet in my home, partly from allergies, mostly because my children seem to think that things like dishsoap and milk are ok on carpets. Especially entire containers of such wonderful products. After one to many of such fiasco's, Layne came home from work one day to find all of our carpet rolled up and on the driveway. This was 3 years ago might I add, when Aaron was 3 and Emma was 2 and the toddler phase was taking over my life. Well, the bedrooms are all that are left with carpet, and were luckily dishsoap and milk free but needed a clean nonetheless. If your looking for such a man, give Jeremy Prete a call. He does a great job and we were so happy with his work.

What else can you say but Stinkin Cute! I am in love with this girl and am convinced this will not be the last time I see her if I ever have any say in the matter. Todd, you have got your hands full. Um, good luck in about 10 years.
I couldn't decide between the full color and this vintagy one, I also did it with in bw with a color vintage finish and I realized I could spend all night playing with these..they all look so good every way, so, I had to settle on one. For now anyway...

a few more..





Well, not only has this girl managed to win a few seats on my almost ready to launch site, but the editor from WedLuxe suggested I 'reconsider' my ad with Kristi on it. I of course took her advice and the ad came out gorgeous. I didnt post the ad, but it is of Kristi in the field. I haven't mentioned anything about WedLuxe yet but it's printing and will hit the stands in November. It is a wedding magazine, a Canadian publication, very high end, very luxe, very Exciting! I have a full page ad in this magazine and Kristi will take up the whole thing. It serves BC and Alberta and is sure to make some noise. It is by invitation only so I am pretty excited. whoo-hoo!

Leila Christine


I haven't posted newborns for a while and so I thought I'd put up some favorites from a very fun shoot. This baby girl was sooo tiny and sweet. Her baby announcements were to die to for but for copyright reasons I try to not post them. However I do have a sample and it's worth coming to see if your considering them. What a beautie!

a dear friend

It is with great sadness and loss that we mourn the passing of Cam. Cam touched many lives and will be remembered for his many kindnesses and loving spirit. When Layne and I moved to Cardston in 2005, we moved in next door to the Williams family; Coralee and I both expecting babies. As our children have grown and we have shared yards and kids, I have grown to love and appreciate this family so very much. They were my first 'family shoot' and have been a great support to me in that regard from the start. They were the first ones I called to come and try out my new studio lights, and one of the first in the new studio downtown after the renos. We were able to do one last shoot with Cam in August in the last of his good days. What a blessing. The pictures are there for the taking, although Coralee will have all the negatives for her printing needs. What a treasure it is for the knowledge of Eternal Families and that one day they will all be together again.
