A rustic fall family photo shoot in Saskatoon

This mom booked her fall session back in May!  And I'm so glad she did.  The original date we decided on was a really cold, windy, stormy day, so we rescheduled for a week later and we ended up with the most gorgeous evening.  She had envisioned a rustic backdrop combined with pretty fall colors, so I did some location scouting to find the perfect spot here in Saskatoon for her family photo session.  I LOVED every minute photographing this family session!!!  And I'm so in love with the location... I will be sure to come back and use it for sure! 

Not your average 60 year old - Saskatoon photographers

For her 60th birthday she wanted to do a fun photo shoot with her besties.  I have never done a Saskatoon photography session like this so I wasn't too sure what to expect, but it might go down as one of the funniest sessions I've ever done!  This group of women were a BLAST!!!  Each and everyone of them out-witting the next, and constant joking, there was never a dull moment!  Thanks for having me out ladies!!!!  You are all beauties, inside and out.   

Thank goodness for our Saskatoon photography studio!

Throw back Thursday to this session I shot when we just moved into our Saskatoon photography studio.  I can't wait to have somewhere warm to shoot that is simple and stunning all winter long.  We have a few fall sessions still available and are booking into the chillier months.  Once I'm all caught up with editing, I will be posting some of the sessions we have been working on. 

Mom and me - Saskatoon Photographer

Right before Mother's Day, we had a promotion on for 'Mom & Me' sessions, which came with a pedicure from Just for You Day Spa as well as a super sweet swag bag... this mom took advantage of our package and came into the studio with her adorable princess for their mom and me session.  We got so many gorgeous shots!!!  I think this little girl is going to cherish these images in a couple of decades.  I would die to have images like this of me with my mom *cough* 30 some years ago *cough*.

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.

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!
