Trip to Canmore

Jeff, Linnea and I had a fantastic 3 days in Canmore this past weekend. We enjoyed watching several movies and going for walks around the town. These are my favorite photos from the trip.

Jeff's Bread

My husband Jeff loves to bake artisan bread. Tonight he baked three loaves of whole wheat multi-grain bread and it turned out beautifully. Here is a photo of the bread that I just took for him. Now once the bread cools I’ll get to enjoy a piece before I go to bed tonight. Yum!! I’m so lucky to be married to such an amazing cook and baker! He constantly amazes me with what he creates in the kitchen.

Here's a couple shots of Jeff's bread.




The last few days have been really difficult as Linnea is sick with a very bad cold and she's teething. She's not eating solids well, not sleeping as long and cries and whines throughout the day. It's been exhausting. I hope she starts to feel better soon and that Jeff and I don't catch this awful cold.

Mom and daughter

Jeff grabbed the camera and shot this photo of Linnea and I this evening. I just love it despite the fact that I have really bad hair and I have one of her hair clips in my hair. :)

9 Months Old

This week has been very busy. I've booked a wedding, I've been working non-stop on my new website and I have clients coming in and out...plus Linnea turned 9 months old and is teething badly (getting her eye teeth). Tomorrow I am photographing for the Edmonton Symphony Society fundraiser which is a BC wine tasting. Should be fun!

Here are 4 shots of Linnea taken today wearing "big girl" pants with a real button and zipper. :)

A Quick Naked Baby Session

So I had fun this morning - I had 4 minutes or so of shooting time as I was getting ready to do a headshots session...I plunked Linnea on the floor and went to town. Here are some of the photos. Comments that I've made about the photos are on my facebook page...

Linnea Climbing Already?

Linnea is pleased to announce she can pull herself up from a sitting position while in her crib to a standing position hanging on to the rails. Here are some photos from her experience...although I must say she enjoys sucking on the rail more than the actual effort of pulling herself up and then losing her balance and falling backwards. Work seems a bit slow to me these days but it is after Christmas...I have a wedding consultation this week so hopefully that will go well for a wedding this coming September.

Oh yeah - she is starting to really communicate this month as well...she's screaming "Ah!" when she wants me to do something "again" or wants more food. The other thing she does is squeeze her fingers in her right hand motioning to me she wants more food or wants the toy I have in my hand. It's pretty cool to see her develop like this!
