About Conni

What makes me

God – he’s the foundation of my life, the savior of my soul, and I am nothing without him.

My husband Brian – We met when we were 17, in a highschool physics class.  I remember the physics teacher asking Brian if he was studying my “electromagnetic spectrum” instead of paying attention in class.  (or something to that effect – the years make the physics terms foggy).  We didn’t really date until 5 years later and were married just over a year after that.  He is truely my best friend, soulmate, and the best business partner I could ever ask for.  Not to mention a wonderful father.

My kids – Hunter – my cautious 3 year old, and Adelle, my crazy 1 year old.  Time moves too quickly and they are only mine for but a moment.

The color Red – really it’s more than an obsession than a love.

Pugs – I love pugs!  Really any "ugly" dog - I love the smushed faces! We have one named Loki – he was my first baby.

 

Changes

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 Posted in Baby, Child, Family, Newborn, Random and personal

A week ago Monday I went from looking like this…

to…ok well I’m not going to show you my belly in the aftermath – but meet our latest addition, Evelyn Esther (aka… baby Eve)

Just like her sister she was comfy cozy and had to be encouraged out via an induction. And while there may have been some rather emotional moments while I was in early labour and felt like she was never going to come out – it was probably the best and easiest birth experience of my three kids. I was able to labour at home for several hours before heading in to the hospital – and she arrived just over an hour after we got there – only missing her brother’s birthday by less than an hour and a half!

I have some blogging to catch up on from sessions completed prior to Eve’s birth but in general we have closed the office for the next few weeks. As many of you know with your own babies, this time is so short and it’s so important to make the most of it. We will not be scheduling any sessions for the remainder of July and August and may be a bit slower to respond to e-mails during this time as well.

We are, however, already anticipating the fall, which is looking to be our busiest season yet! Because of this time in our lives, the number of sessions we can take on will be limited – but there will be some amazing deals! We will be announcing our fall/Christmas specials in the next few weeks! We are taking bookings for September and on. Saturdays book up quickly so if you are wanting a weekend session we encourage you to book sooner than later.

As well we will be unveiling a new logo and website in the next couple months. Thanks everyone for your patience as we sort out our lives as parents to 3!

Two years and counting | Edmonton Child Photographer

Friday, May 21, 2010 Posted in Child, Children, Family

I get to see this girl and her family every six months or so. Can you believe she’s already two? I can’t…mostly because she’s only a few weeks younger than my own little Adelle (and her twin as you can see here!) and I want her to stay little forever! (Or at least until the little one in my tummy makes his or her appearance in a few weeks!)

Here is a sneak peak from our studio session a couple weeks ago!

We had fun singing, dancing, and in the end it was kind of a free for all as my kids made an appearance. The tutu’s came out and there may or may not be snapshots of my son dancing and twirling in a tutu which is totally coming out on his wedding day. Wanna see? Well ok…you twisted my arm…ahem

<3 … *CUTIE*

Much loved baby ‘P’ | Spruce Grove Newborn Photographer

Friday, May 21, 2010 Posted in Baby, Children, Family, Newborn

It’s been hard to catch up on my blog posts since my trip to Atlanta which is a whole other post on it’s own! I apologize for the delay! This little one was born just before the Atlanta trip and we hurried to try to get her in within my preferred two week deadline! Babies under two weeks old generally have much easier sessions than those who are older, plus that 10 days to 2 week mark is often a turning point where babies often get acne and develop colic so we start playing with fire scheduling much later than that! So the day after I got home I packed up and headed to their home for our session. P, though just over that two week mark did remarkably well and gave us a good chunk of sleep time! She is much much loved by not only her mommy and daddy, but two very adoring older siblings! She is one lucky girl!

Atlanta bound

Thursday, April 22, 2010 Posted in Random and personal

Just a quick note to let you know we’re closed from April 23-27th. I’m headed to Atlanta to work with some of my favorite photographers from North America! When I get back I fully expect our trees to be all green and the last of winter gone! Optimistic…maybe but all this budding of trees is making me very excited for the weeks to come!

And hopefully everyone will love each other when I return…a girl can dream right? Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

What fun looks like | Edmonton Engagement Photographer

Friday, April 16, 2010 Posted in Engagement, Wedding

A few months ago I blogged about James and Chelsea’s awesome engagement shoot as well as mentioned that my brother-in-law came along to film the shoot. I thought I would share with you one of the videos taken – this is a peek into the fun we have when we go out on a shoot!

Thanks again to Andrew Pohl!

The little things | Edmonton Wedding Photographer

Thursday, April 8, 2010 Posted in Engagement, Random and personal, Wedding

Last weekend, or perhaps now that we’re through Easter weekend I should say the weekend before that, Brian and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. We spent that day in our usual way – close to home, giving each other cheeky grins all day and saying “you’re my favorite {husband/wife}”. I’m sometimes often not very patient or kind like the famed love chapter in I Corinthians 13 talks about – but Brian and I do work on loving each other every day and have committed to doing that for the rest of our lives.

As we grow “more married” it’s been fun to discover not only who we are as individuals but who we are as a couple. I think every couple has a personality – it’s own dynamic. If we were to get married all over again today I think our wedding would look very different than it did 6 years ago. We’re not as formal a couple as we maybe thought we could be back then? For example – our favorite romantic tradition is hot dogs at Ikea. Not joking…it’s how we do valentines day and at least one of the meals on our anniversary. The sappy reason for that is that we just enjoy each other and spending time with each other and find more to talk about in a crowded store restaurant then when we’ve dressed up to spend a night on the town (pressure!) The real reason is that I love hot dogs…no I LOVE hot dogs. I could eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner. Hot dogs in a cheap Swedish furniture store?…GENIUS! Brian doesn’t have quite the same love affair for hot dogs but he does love that they are cheap. (Shhh…I’m not sure it’s dawned on him that what he’s saved in hot dogs is spent elsewhere in the store ;) )

Anyway all this to say that recently I stumbled across this awesome blog that is constantly being updated with photos from all kinds of weddings. What I love about this blog is seeing all the details and being inspired by them. Those of you who have had a wedding shot by myself and Brian know that I LOVE the details of your day. It’s what helps me to get to know you even more! I love seeing what things you’ve chosen to represent you as a couple, or just even what adds to the fun your guests have at your wedding.

And because no blog post is complete without a picture or two…These are some of my personal favorite details from just a few of the weddings I’ve shot this last year. I had the pleasure of being a second shooter for Lisa Lacroix last summer and fall and many of the fabulous detail shots seen here are from those weddings.

Darcy and Laura | Edmonton Wedding Photographer

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 Posted in Wedding

We met Laura and Darcy back last fall as they were planning their 2010 wedding. I remember telling Brian afterward that I hoped they would book with us because I just wanted to work with them! I love meeting couples that just can’t take their eyes off each other. This was Darcy and Laura.

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding day.


Then we grabbed some pics out at Queen Elizabeth Park.




And we finished up at Block 1912 a great little coffee shop on Whyte Ave!

Thanks for letting us be a part of your wedding day Darcy and Laura!

James and Chelsea | Edmonton Wedding Photographer

Friday, February 12, 2010 Posted in Engagement, Family, Wedding

I’m really excited about these images… so much so that my mind goes a little blank and I think…nobody really wants to hear me blather on about the weather etc etc right? But I DO need to mention the weather – it will give you some perspective on how amazing James and Chelsea are (not to mention the crew I had with me!) I had been watching the weather and hearing highs of -6 C and sunny and thinking…ok if I shoot fast we should make it…-6 isn’t bad. Well the morning of this particular session dawned neither clear nor bright – but the hoar frost on the trees that morning was spectacular. As if God had painted each tree with frosty snowy icing! The downside of this was that it was cold…freaking cold…and nowhere near -6. I think we hit -15 C that morning. Added to this my very talented brother in law Andrew Pohl was filming this particular shoot for another project we are working on together (more of that to come). So I of course did not want to wear my big puffy winter jacket… and of course James and Chelsea didn’t want to spend the whole time in boots and hats and mitts and parkas… so we decided to see how far we could get before we were frozen.

My friends….frozen came and left us a several times in this shoot…more often than not numb took over…which made it not so bad. James and Chelsea lasted 2.5 hours! (can you hear me slow clapping them?) This resulted in some seriously awesome images. So thank you to them for sticking it out and for Brian (who again took some of my favorite shots from the day) and Andrew who stuck it out with us as well! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Chelsea…you are gorgeous…look at those eyes!!!

James isn’t so bad either! I think he looks like Matt Damon…



Then we headed to the park…





Thanks again you guys! I can’t wait to do this again in a few more months!

What 6 months looks like | Edmonton Child and Family Photographer

Saturday, February 6, 2010 Posted in Baby, Child, Children, Family, Milestones

Had this sweet little 6 month old in my studio a couple weeks ago. And by sweet – I mean absolutely charming! Full of smiles he was probably one of the easiest sessions I’ve had in a while!
