expressive | calgary baby photographer

This little guy came in for his 1 year session just a couple days after his first birthday. He was SO much fun, seriously…the expressions are priceless! That is one of the best things about this age. The first time I met him was a year ago for his newborn session which you can check out here. It is so amazing to get to watch these little ones grow. Love that I get to do that. LOVE IT!

**Because I love it so much and truly appreciate the loyalty my clients show me I am offering a new special pricing structure just for previous clients. This special will run from Jan 1st. – April 30th, 2011 and is only available to previous clients. So if you are a previous client, and are thinking of booking a session in the new year send me an email to request additional info. This special was first posted to my facebook page and I have had great response so far from all the clients who follow my page. There are limited spots open for this and they are already going quickly. If you want to be in the know about things like this before I post it to the blog be sure to sign up for my newsletter (you can do this in the contact section) or you can even follow my facebook page which can be found here as I often post info and special offers there first. Sometimes even specials only available to those following the page.

Anyway…now onto the images:-)

Thanks for a fun session N. You are too cute for words!

baby #3 on the way | calgary maternity photographer

I don’t know how I get so lucky. I have, not only beautiful clients but they are all really great people too. This family is no exception. I had a wonderful time photographing them and am eagerly awaiting the call any day now. Baby #3 was due last week and is taking his/her time making a grand entrance.

Thought I would share a few of my favorites from the maternity session. Anyone who knows me know that I just LOVE mommy and daughter images and was so thrilled when A was only too happy to pose with mommy. I adore these so much I could not pick just 1 to share so I was able to narrow it down to 4.

Of course we needed a belly comparison shot with big brother “Z”

While setting up for the silhouette images “A” came over and started wrapping herself up in one of the wraps so she matched mommy. Yeah, cute x’s 1000 so of course we needed to take some more of them together….

K, I wish you a fast and uneventful delivery and I can’t wait to meet the newest addition to your lovely family:-)

sweet summer evening | calgary photographer

This session took place on one of the few nice summer evenings we have had here in Calgary. We had planned this session for awhile and right up until the day of the session we were worried it would rain, the forecast called for rain….and well, we have had more rainy days than summer days this summer so it just seemed inevitable. Fortunately the sun shone, little miss A was is great spirits and we had a fantastic session. Although every session I have had with her has been wonderful! You can see one of those sessions here, and another here.

I know some people might be wondering if I am now offering outdoor sessions. Well, yes and no. I have had a lot of previous clients who have asked me for outdoor sessions this summer so after lots of consideration I have decided that I will offer outdoor sessions to previous clients and only as my schedule allows. So limited outdoor sessions will be added to my calendar for the remainder of the summer and early fall. These sessions will require some time before the session takes place to talk about style, clothing, location and such.

On another note if you are a previous client feel free to shoot me an email : bowesphotography@shaw.ca for information on my previous client pricing promo which runs from Jan 1, 2011 until April 30, 2011 and will include maternity, baby, child & family sessions (newborns exempt).

ALSO: keep watching my website. In the very near future I will be launching a new section called “featured” it will hold a couple of galleries that you will be able to access and view all the the images from the sessions that are featured. This session and the previously posted maternity session which took place outdoors will be the first 2 featured galleries.

5 days new | calgary newborn photographer

He was so sweet, and so accommodating! I LOVE when I get to photograph them this young, it seems unlikely but its so true that only a matter of days can make a huge difference in how smoothly a newborn session can go.

Baby boy L, you and your big sister stole a little piece of my heart at our session. Thank you both (and mommy and daddy too) for being the definition of perfect models:-)

Big sister M gave me so many really great smiles but something about this shot just speaks to me. I love how soulful and serious she looks. Seems a whole lot older than her 2.5 years that is for sure.

Thanks for a really great session! It was wonderful to see you all again and I am honored you chose me to photograph your newest addition:-)

stunning mama to be | calgary maternity photographer

Meet Leanne, she is 34 weeks pregnant with her first child. Leanne came out to Banff back in June to model for a maternity class I was teaching so when she wanted more images of her belly a little bigger than it was in June I immediately thought that an outside session would be fun for both of us. Her, since she already had a collection of studio style portraits and me, because I don’t often shoot outside.

I cannot wait to meet this baby, she is sure to be just as stunning as her mama!

The sun flare went a little crazy here but I LOVE the expression on her face.

Thanks for a super fun evening Leanne:-)
