life is sweet. wear IT : medicine hat photography

PixieInks — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 09:41:37 +0000

once your session is booked…
the common question is “what to wear?”
what DO we wear to our session?
i’ve always provided advice such as: colours look great and can accent your features, layers add depth and contrast, accessories add playfulness and whimsy. LOTS of colour is great for beautiful contrasts that compliment each other, as there is no need to be too ‘matchy matchy’ – just coordinated.
however i was asked the other day for examples… and I thought it would be a bit more help and more fun to share them with all of you!! =D
so here is a basic “style guide” of suggestions on ‘what to wear’. options are endless. adding more colour for vibrancy or more layers during those chilly fall months or simply dressing it up.
the most important thing is to be you!!

Summer is almost over and Fall is fast approaching. Why wait to have your portraits taken? Time is flying by…. now is the time to book your family session and capture your little ones just as they are today.

Pixie.Inks will be on holidays until Saturday, July 24th!! =)
I’m SO excited to be heading to BC for a little R&R…. it’s been some time since we had a little holiday. Looking forward to spending time with family in the sun.
As soon as I’m back home I’ll be returning phone calls and e-mails, thank you in advance for your patience. =) If you have not booked your family photo session for this summer/fall I urge you to do so now before I am fully booked, August is just around the corner.

here’s my Liv:
she was sleepy.
we shot these around her bedtime.
she is silly.
and full giggles….
she’s growing up much too fast!
she’s not at all into mommy taking photos of her. ;)
i had to work hard to get any shots…
she makes me smile.
and melts my heart….

PixieInks — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 02:43:39 +0000

dena+aaron. their wedding truly was:
romantic. beautiful. fun.
and if i do say so myself. perfect.
i met dena and aaron earlier this year and had a LOT of fun photographing them during their engagement session just last month!
it was an absolute honor to photograph their wedding yesterday and an absolute blast. i may have shed a few tears. …maybe. ;) although the weather forecast was calling for rain i PRAYED and let me tell you it sure payed off. [to be exact i prayed for awesome clouds. little to no rain and mild temperatures. =) yep i'm a geek!] we had a small amount of rain for only a short 10mins. =) i think we all were just as happy as could be when the rain stopped!!
i want to thank dena and aaron. you two looked stunning yesterday. congrats mr&mrs – i truly loved being a part of your day.
last but certainly not least, i want to thank GEOFF for being my 2nd shooter – it was great working with you and i look forward to working with you again very soon. ;)
ENJOY your sneak peek dena and aaron.
