Because Santa...

One wanted nothing to do with the big guy... and we are learning the important battles (this was not one of them).
One has always been happy to sit with Santa and chat.

In the end, I captured great photos of both my babies in their comfortable spot, at my very own 3rd Annual Santa Sessions.  Such a magical time for all of us.

CHRISTMAS.

My commitment to this project is still alive and well….

One photo.
Each week.

I finally pressed LAUNCH!

It's been a long time coming.  It just needed to be the right time for me.

www.shutterBEANphotography.com

I'm pretty excited about all the opportunities that lie ahead.

I have the best Clients, the teach and support at the same time.  

Thank you.

I chose to keep this website simple, clean, and easy to navigate.  I'm not a fan of crazy and complex sites myself.

I will continue blogging here.
I will also continue to blog over here and track my session adventures.

Christmas Buggy...

I've only just begun...

ShutterBEAN. National Association of Professional Child Photographers!

I've recently been blessed with recognition by the National Association of Professional Child Photographers

My wee baby ShutterBEAN Photography has been accepted into this fantastic National Association!

It has been a goal of mine every since I started this photography journey, specifically to do before Baby Buggy Bug arrives.

Now I can confidently call myself a PHOTOGRAPHER!

Yeah me.

Hope you are enjoying a great weekend.

Check out my ShutterBEAN blog if you wish...

I still have so much to learn and so many hills to explore... this is just the beginning!

#thankfulnovember.

10 on 10. SPRING? Are you out there...

Once a  month I will be joining a group of Mothers and Photographers and posting ~10 photos.... of the ordinary and not so ordinary moments of our days.

We exchange and encourage each other through an online group and these ladies have really been supportive and pushed me a wee bit to think beyond.

Please stop by to admire their talents, love and adventures!

As for me.  My 10 on 10 post involves our simple and wonderful life... that comes with our own set of daily challenges not always captured through my lens...

We spend most of our weekends in a small ski town... FERNIE, BC.

These past few weekends have given us Spring previews.

Puddles and mud.

Skiing and hot chocolates.

Rain and green.

Snowflakes and chillies.

We can't decide what season it is but we are hoping for SPRING!!

Please come out and play!

And ONE for good luck!

Please go take a peak at the talented Sarah Leonard's February Challenge photos.

Her work is wonderful. Her family is adorable.  Her eye is an inspiration.  

Thank you ladies for allowing me to learn and explore through your captures.

I'm very grateful!
