Just a quick note to mention that I’ll be out of office next week from October 26th, to November 4th! I will be spending some quality time with extended family! Cheers!

Had a wonderful time with Amy and Wilhelm at the beginning of this month as I dusted off my camera after a few months off to capture this special time in their lives – their engagement. So far they will be the first 2011 wedding of the year and I think we’ll have alot of fun. Thanks to Brian for coming along, hauling gear for me and catching the gorgeous silhouette!

I’m doing something a little different for the minis this year. Rather than just pick a couple of saturdays that everyone needs to book on I’m going to experiment with some flexibility and allow these to be booked at your convenience and according to my schedule. It’s a great way to get in a quick session before Christmas.

Due to the time restraints on these sessions there can not be more than 6 people to a session. This special pricing will be available until December 15th, however note if you are planning to order any specialty items such as cards, storyboards, or canvases that the session must be completed prior to October 31st in order to have your items in for Christmas.

DKTBLEG sounds like texting slang! Daring Kitty Turns Black Lego Eggplant Green…hmmmm…or not. What it actually is the initials of this family of 6 plus their dog Gunnar. Last fall I did a family session for my sister and her family and this year with baby Eve making her appearance we weren’t sure if we would get a session in. Fortunately we fit it into our camping trip we had last week. It was good to shake the dust off my camera and get back into shooting mode before fall hits us!



Oh Bo…you’re “schoooo Gorgeoush”

One of my favorite Glee songs greeted me at the door of Chelsea’s parents’ house. A sweet puppy decked in his tuxedo ran about looking for a comfortable spot. It was so very Chelsea – a bit of chaos, some karaoke, and family and friends all around.

Meanwhile Brian headed over to Taylor Seminary for some ping pong with the boys.

We’ve known James for a long time through Brian’s brother Andrew – who happened to be one of the groomsmen. He’s single ladies…

Love this shot from Brian of the boys heading to the chapel.

James and Chelsea were married at the Taylor Chapel… I loved that they had a centre aisle as most churches don’t have one!








This spring we introduced a new service that you can add on to any reception coverage. It’s our Pohltography crazy “booth”. We set up a booth during the reception for you and your guests to enjoy. You can grab a silly hat, strike a pose, write a meaningful message to the bride and groom, or get a picture with the sister or friend you don’t get to often see! Here’s a sample of the fun we had at James and Chelsea’s wedding.

We had so much fun at their wedding – it will be memorable in my mind always as the wedding I was oh so very pregnant. They were all (Rothe’s and Ohlmann’s alike) so good to me! I couldn’t have done it for anyone else and enjoyed it half as much!

Congratulations on your marriage James and Chelsea and God bless you two as you tackle Trinity Western together!

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!

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*

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!

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!

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!
