They are lots of fun…

I was so excited when Megan asked me to photograph this amazing time in their lives, and also a little nervous since Megan is a talented photographer with such a genuine, pure, and unique style.  She rocks. Check out her work here if you want to feel a whole range of tug-at-your heart emotions: http://www.megankellerphotography.com/index2.php

As I was getting ready for their session I was remembering my Elementary school days.  Why? Because Megan’s Mom Mrs. Bauer was my favourite Elementary school teacher. She was (and still is) the most patient, engaging, and fun music teacher IN THE WORLD.  She had this commanding yet gentle fun way of gaining the whole school’s attention during assembly.  She would clap a rhythmic little series, and we would clap back.  Vermilion peeps, you know what I’m talking about, there’s undoubtedly clapping going on in your mind right now and if I say “Ta Ta Tee Tee Ta”, you will revert back to your Vermilion Elementary School days.

So onto more of the story…Megan is creative, talented and musical. We grew up together in the same church and I watched her grow in talent and beauty. The best part about Megan is her authentic, quirky, fun, and genuine personality.  She later fell in love with Kyle who is a funny, kind, and gentle soul. They are a PERFECT match. He’s also a talented musician and they would often lend their musical talent to the Sunday morning worship team. After I moved to Leduc, I was back in Vermilion to shoot a wedding and I ran into Megan at the wedding. She told me she had a passion for photography and I told her about Hope Walls who I was taking workshops from in Edmonton. Megan took the workshops the next year, and we had the opportunity to both be a part of team “Clickin’ Cancer’s Butt” photographing the Edmonton Relay for Life a few years ago.

Fast forward to today…Megan and Kyle have a sweet, curious, full-of-energy 2 year old little boy named Sully, and baby #2 on the way. Yesterday, I was lucky to capture this incredible stage in their lives. I was so excited when Megan told me her Mom would be coming along to the session, it brought back great childhood memories and I wanted to clap when I saw her.

Without further adieu…Meet the BEST music teacher in the world, Mrs. Bauer (who is obviously head-over-heels in love with her grandson)

Enough talk, onto a sneak peek of their fun family love story….

Thank you so much for the fun morning. You are so blessed (and the best part is: you know just how blessed you truly are).

Love: Christine

They will soon welcome a new addition! There is no doubt this baby will be surrounded by a lot of love….

These two love birds celebrated their anniversary the day after our session. There’s so much tenderness and love between them. Happy Anniversary!!!

You are so beautiful C.!

I was just about to take the photo below, when at the very last second, sweet T.

popped in behind Mom and Dad. The look on her face is full of love.

Congratulations F. Family! I can’t wait to hear if it’s a boy or a girl. You are one lucky family.

Christine

Isn’t she stunning?

Linda and Greg are so excited for the much anticipated arrival!

In just 6 weeks, Linda and Greg will find out if they are welcoming a boy or a girl. Oooooh, there is nothing better than a surprise, I can’t wait to find out!

Meet their adorable puppy Max (love his crooked Santa hat). I must say, he doesn’t sit still for long so photographing him was a bit of a challenge! As I was taking pictures of Linda and Greg, he poked me several times with a stick (actually it was more of a log) wanting to play. He has a HUGE personality.

You are absolutely glowing my friend!

Thank you both so much for braving the snow. I’m so happy for you! I can’t wait for the newborn session…coming soon. xoxo

Love, Christine
