Max the Cowboy

I have a friend who every year gets an individual photoshoot of each of her kids on the month of their birthday.  I think this is such a great idea in addition to family photos - this way they can have a shoot that really portrays who they are and what they like.  This sample of pics is from my son's own photoshoot that we did on the way out to Weyburn.  He was already dressed as his usual cowboy self and we spotted a barn right off the highway. I thought what a perfect spot for Max's photo shoot. We hopped out on the muddiest road, ran through the field while the other 3 sat in the van and had our very own 10 minute shoot - He can't wait to have his favorite pic of him and the barn framed and put up in his room!

1 Year Old!

Happy Birthday to this little sweetheart.  This little guy was sooo cute and sooo good!  I miss my kids being one - too bad we couldn't freeze that age and maybe skip the terrible twos.  He had the most amazing little blazer that I actually ended up stealing after the shoot (unintentional of course!) 

100 Sessions!

This summer marks the launch of my full time photography business.  I have been taking clients for the past year on a very limited basis and now that I have a full time "House Dad" (as my four year old calls him) I am able to take on more clients! Yay!  My goal for this summer and fall is to book 100 sessions.  I know this is a big goal and it will not be easy. To help me obtain this goal I would like to hire you (yes you!) as my advertising team.  Radio ads, billboards, and flyers may be effective but I would rather reward my wonderful clients, family and friends for spreading the work about Shoestring Photography.  It is a common fact that word of mouth is the best form of advertising!  For each person you refer I will mail you a cheque for $25!  Thank you everyone for your continuing support!

Sneak Peak

I love this family!  I can't beleive how everyone cooperated with me for this photoshoot.  I have four kids myself  and they are not the most fun to photograph in a group.  These guys just followed me around the city with the promise that the next stop just may be the park.

These boys were one of my families who took part in my Spring Mini Shoot.  They were so polite and nice, it was a real pleasure to work with them. 

Oh Baby!

Thank you God for the beautiful weather we had for this little princess's 6 month shoot.  I just loved that she was able to wear her pretty sundress with no jacket.  The day before it poured, the week before it snowed (I thought mother nature was trying to destroy my career as a photographer). 

Cowgirl

This little girl is such a sweetheart.  With her beautiful, big brown eyes and perfect curls she may just be our next Winners model!
