A gorgeous lifestyle session in an apple orchard has just been published on my blog. Excited to share this beautiful family with you all. I'd love to photograph your family in one of your favourite places this year. Send me a message and let's start brainstorming all the ways we can make your session uniquely yours. The ideas are endless, let's create your own magic together. I'm booking 2021 now and I'd love to see your family in my schedule https://blog.knphoto.ca/edmonton-family-portraits-at-an-ap/

While I wish there were even more newborns for me to photograph during this pandemic, I'm so happy every time I get to do what I love. One of my very favourite parts of my job is photographing and snuggling all the new babies. While there's no snuggling babies in 2021, it's still amazing to safely document a new family coming together. https://blog.knphoto.ca/baby-zoey-edmonton-newborn-photogr/

The warm weather and spring vibes have me getting excited for all the lifestyle sessions I'm going to photograph this year! There's a new post on my blog with some ideas of fun activities we can do to enhance your family session with me. I'd love to hear what fun things you want to do on your next session to personalize the experience. I know this year I'm photographing a backyard "foam party" and a day at lake....I'd love to add your family into my schedule! https://blog.knphoto.ca/5-outdoor-activities-that-will-enh/

It's my resolution to blog more lifestyle sessions in 2021! First up, the Lucic Family on the beaches of Vancouver. What a gorgeous family and such an awesome backdrop for portraits this past fall! https://blog.knphoto.ca/lucic-family/

If anything good came out of 2020 it would be this wonderful baby boom of adorable newbies! I'm loving photographing all these wee babes this winter. It makes me so happy to see all the love that came from 2020. Also, if you've been following along here a long time, don't you agree that sweet Molly looks like my little baby Maeve? My heart!! If you or a friend are expecting a baby in 2021, let's get in touch now! I have limited space for new clients and can explain all the Covid-safe protocols for your family.

I know it's not even August, but if you're looking for Fall family portraits, now is the time to book. I've got limited space and dates I'm making available for sessions, send me a message and we can chat! Here's a family session in the MacTaggart Sanctuary last fall. I also have some new locations exclusive for fall I'm excited to try to out! Can't wait!

Fresh Look Events is having a online Silent Auction tonight from 5-7pm with all proceeds going to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation. I have a family lifestyle session and wall print available to win. Tons of other great local items to bid on! Good luck!

BLACK FRIDAY!! GIVING TUESDAY! This year I'm excited to offer a Black Friday special. But more importantly, I really wanted to incorporate Giving Tuesday as part of my promotion. So from now until Tuesday the 1st I'm offering my most exciting promotion of the year. Purchase a newborn session and receive a complimentary maternity session as a Black Friday bonus! Plus for every newborn session purchased I'll buy a "Baby Bundle" for the Edmonton Food Bank. With so many familie...s suffering from food insecurity this year, Baby Bundles are one way to help out vulnerable citizens in our community. With each $50 bundle babies are given essentials like formula, diapers, and other much needed items. If you're expecting, please send me a message and we can go over details. If you know someone expecting a baby, please share this post with them. I also offer gift cards which will include the donation in their name. This would be the perfect gift! This deal is available till Tuesday, so please send me a message as soon as possible. Can't wait to photograph so many babies and give back as much as possible this holiday season. https://www.knphoto.ca https://www.edmontonsfoodbank.com//sponso/buy-baby-bundle/

While I can't guarantee frost like this, I do still have a couple openings for outdoor mini sessions this Saturday! We should have perfect weather for family portraits. Click on the link below to book :) https://christmasminis.youcanbook.me I also have minimal openings for both indoor at the vintage loft and outdoor next weekend as well! I know with most Christmas events cancelled this winter, sending Christmas cards to loved ones will be a priority for my family in 2020. Let me help you with that! I'll make it easy for you to send out love this holiday season.

Christmas Mini Sessions are open to the public ! My newsletter subscribers nearly sold out all the studio sessions (there's only two left!) but due to demand, I also decided to host outdoor mini sessions for 2020. If you want an option outside in fresh air, this is the year! All the details on the blog now- I look forward to seeing your family this year https://blog.knphoto.ca/indoor-and-outdoor-christmas-mini-/

Fall family portraits are in full swing around here! Loving the amazing weather and gorgeous colours this year. I have also had a large number of families asking when Christmas Mini sessions will be announced. I'm pleased to say I have the first 2 weekends of November set aside for both socially distanced outside minis and Covid-safe studio sessions. More details to be released soon! If you are on my newsletter mailing list, you'll get first dibs when the times go live for bookings. Based on the amount of current interest, I expect they will go fast! Sign up for my newsletter on my blog, and check out new sessions while you are there :)

Over the past few months I've photographed so many beautiful families. Every unique story interwoven together telling us the beauty that has appeared through 2020. I've photographed rainbow babies, aging grandparents, families celebrating new beginnings and saying difficult goodbyes. I've photographed the bits of amazing in-between the difficult. I've photographed the beauty and love that is your family. Life isn't always going to be like it is today. Life is moving fas...t whether we recognize the abundance of the present or not. The kids aren't always going to be little. The teenagers aren't always going to be difficult. I'm just here to ask you to celebrate where you are at. The good, the sad and the amazing. Life isn't always going to be like this, and it's breathtakingly beautiful. Let's document the beauty that is your family as they are now. Ever-changing and perfectly imperfect. I'm getting down to my final spots for lifestyle session in fall 2020. If you're wanting the changing fall leaves in your portraits, please send me a message so I can fit you in <3

Fall family portrait season is in full swing around here! I would love to see your family this autumn- I have a last minute opening for this weekend if you're spontaneous like me! Or send me a message for the rest of my availability this season. I can't wait to photograph your family and document this wild year! https://blog.knphoto.ca/life-on-the-farm-edmonton-lifestyl/

Who else is excited for the Oiler's game 4 tonight?? I'm happy to share one of our very own Oiler's beautiful newborn sessions on my blog today. Go Oilers!
