Look at all these cute faces! Modern Mama 2013 Face of the Year Contestants



The Modern Mama (St. Albert) Face of the Year shin dig took place February 27, 2013 at Ron Hodgson Chev Buick GMC.   The event sold out, and 60 precious little faces smiled, slept, blew bubbles, and goofed off for me, Raj from Patient Man Productions and Larissa from LMack Photography Studio. Beautiful little girls with pig tails and bows in their hair, mischievous busy boys, some deadpan serious babies, some real ham toddlers, made for a really fun night of photography! There were displays by local family friendly businesses and sponsors, a beautiful cake and bright shiny cars to use for backdrops.

I've uploaded many selections for each of the little people that I photographed. I'm a sucker for little ones, and must admit that I was not 'brutal' in culling my shots! I find delight in the whole spectrum of facial expressions little people make and I hope you will too. I did force myself to pick one image each to share here:




I'm offering 10% off  prints and digital files until April 30, 2013. The discount code to use to redeem the 10% discount is entered during the check out process, on the payment details page. It is ModernMaMa10, and it is case sensitive.

I offer some really beautiful ready to hang products, metal (aluminum) prints, thin wraps with a satin finish, as well as metallic print paper. These are products not readily available here in Edmonton. My print lab is Bay Photo in California, and there are shipping charges on prints ordered from my site. Bay Photo is a very high quality professional print lab, and we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all print products ordered through my site.

I also offer digital files in three sizes: a web sized version for $2, perfect for sharing on social media or your family blog, a 1MP size that will print very well up to 5x7 inches (possibly larger) for $10 and a 4MP size that can print big, for $50. There are no limitations to the number of copies that you can make with your personal use license for these photos. Digital files provide you with great flexibility in terms of the way you make use of them, and there is no shipping cost or wait time for digital file purchases!

The photos from this event are ready for you. I do hope that you enjoy them. I offer family photo sessions at a setting of your choosing, in my garden or in your home (I have portable studio lighting), starting at $300 with a $75 credit toward prints or downloads. For more information, please contact me! You can always leave me comments here too.

Winter Wonderland (not WalMart) Photos








Rebecca and her three children participated in my fundraising photo shoot Sunday, and made a generous donation to one of my chosen charities, YESS (Youth Emergency Shelter Society). Her kids were awesome and super cooperative despite the somewhat chilly temps!




We made sure that we got a 'traditional' shot first

before we got a bit more creative. Light up those smiles:

They'd let me know that what they were hoping for was 'not WalMart photos', and I was quite happy to oblige! Thankfully they weren't afraid of a little snow! 
I'm thinking that will make a pretty nice Holiday Card.

It's A Winter Wonderland - Charity Photo Shoot

The unusually heavy November snowfall has turned the gardens at Windermere Studios into a beautiful winter wonderland. The spruce and pine trees are holding thick layers of snow, and are the perfect backdrop for your family holiday photo!



So, I've decided (very last minute and spur of the moment) to host  a charity photo session here on Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012, between noon and 3 p.m. mst. Here's how it will work:

Come dressed in bright winter clothes, and ready for your family photo. Bring a donation of at least $20 (new goods or gift cards) for  the Youth Emergency Shelter, Second Chance Animal Rescue Society, iHuman or The Mustard Seed and in return receive a 4MP digital file of the photo of your family ($50 value), to print to your heart's content!



Contact me  to let me know you'd like to take part.

Fine Print: One pose per family group. Files will be available for viewing by EOB Nov. 15 and will be delivered electronically via Windermerestudios.ca Additional Photos will be available for sale. Additional groupings or poses can be photographed @ the mini session (30 minutes of photography) special rate of $75 per family.
