UnCut

As much as I enjoy the time I spend editing my pictures, the last few days I have been trying to capture that perfect raw image that doesn't require any editing at all. I know these shots are far from perfect...but these are my first few images without any editing...straight from the camera or UnCut!

For those who know Kya...this is a very typical face! It means "I want"

Cup Cozy!

On thursday, Holly and Tamara came to spend the day with me. We relaxed, watched some girly movies and were being lazy. Tamara was working on her crochet project, which inspired Holly to return home to get her crochet project. Seeing as I was the only one there who had no idea how to crochet, I thought I might as well join them. Holly will be teaching a crochet class in Winnipeg on December 5th, so I thought she should practice on me :) That being said, this is my first ever attempt at crochet and making a cup cozy! It was great hanging out with you two...we should do it again soon! I can't wait to learn more stitches!

Cohen Samuel Janzen

Cohen is my first and only nephew. He was born this summer, only four months after my little girl. We are so happy they have each other for playmates! I had the opportunity to watch him for one sunny afternoon so I decided to torture him a little bit! He was a really good sport...it was really windy that day (I'm surprised he had his eyes open). The first picture here is one of the cards I made with his 2 month shots. I look forward to many more shoots with him and Kya together! They will be the perfect (and CUTEST) little models :)

Rhea Funk

This is sweet little Rhea. We were watching a movie last night and her mommy sat her on the couch and she stayed there just looking around watching everyone. Not even a couple months old and she's already sitting up nice and tall! She is just an angel...smiling all the time. I don't think I have ever met a baby this young who smiles this much!

8 Month Beauty

It's been a while since my last post...3 months to be exact! My angel has gone from little to big. 8 months old and as busy as ever. I have been using my baby as my subject to enhance my photography capabilities, it seems she's the only one who puts up with the camera constantly in her face. Here are a few of my favourites from the last few months! I promise to keep more up to date with my posts...I have no excuse now that i'm not going back to work :)

Kya Hannah Raelle

So finally....here is my beautiful baby girl! Kya Hanna Raelle was born on March 18th, 2009 at 3:00am!

Tired of Being Pregnant!

Well...this little one is due in exactly 1 week! I am still hoping and praying he/she comes this week. The novelty of being pregnant and feeling all of the little movements as officially worn off and I find myself loosing patience. I don't know if it's a combination of the lack of sleep, just being uncomfortable (all the time), or everyone I meet asking, " when are you due again.." or " You're still here", or even "No Baby Yet?" I know eveyone means well, and I know i've said some of the same things to other women in this stage of pregnancy, but it just seems to make you more aware that YES, I'm Still Pregnant! The one good thing is I know there is an end...and it's finally in sight! Hopefully my next post will include some pictures of my new baby.
