Extended Family Photos - Saskatoon photographer

We are getting so many inquiries for extended family sessions lately!!!  There are so many big anniversaries coming up this summer, and I'm so happy that people are thinking ahead and getting their extended families photographed.  I have to admit, about 5 years ago I was turning down large extended families.  I wasn't the greatest at posing them, and I wasn't confident in getting the great images our clients have come to expect from us.  After taking a few courses on large extended families over the last few years, our portraiture has really come a long way since then, and I'm now confident in getting beautiful images of large extended families.  They are a challenge (more so when there are a lot of little ones in the mix), but they are also some of the most important images that we capture for our clients. 

This family came to me last winter, so our options were a bit limited for locations, but we do have a few beautiful indoor locations that work well for these types of sessions.  Aren't they a photogenic group?!  Yeah, they made my job pretty easy.  

It's Ladies night in Saskatoon, and you're invited!!!

One lucky bun in the oven - Saskatoon photographers

I first met these two a few years ago when they were looking for a wedding photographer.  We hit it off instantly.  From that first meeting they've always felt like old friends that you don't see often, but when you do, it's so natural.  We photographed their engagement session as well as their wedding.  Mom-to-be emailed me when she was 12 weeks along asking about availability for maternity/newborn photos.  Of course, I was so excited for them to be welcoming their first baby at the end of April!  As their previous sessions before this, they were naturals in front of my camera.  The fondness they share for each other is something to be admired.  This baby is so lucky to call these two mom and dad. 

On a side note, this session shows of our new studio beautifully!  We only used natural light for this one and love how the images turned out.  I just wish we would have gotten into the space sooner:). 

They're here Saskatoon!!!

family photography - Saskatoon family photographers

You may recognize this family from my previous post.  This gorgeous mama was one of the bridesmaids in the wedding I just posted previous to this.  She called me up and asked if I was available to do their family photos last fall.  I was sooo excited to capture their adorable little girl, who was the flower girl, along with her mom and dad.  They are all so photogenic.  I really wish fall last longer... it's so darn pretty!
