Amelie & Ellyce :: Winnipeg Family Photography

Jody and I became friends with Jason & MaryAnne in 2008, when Jody did a huge renovation on the second floor of their house, and also earlier put in a bathroom on the main floor. He’d always come home and tell me how they were such good people, so fun, so nice, so smart, etc. And he always raved about their little girl, Amelie, who was I think 2 1/2 or 3 at the time – he’d say she was the cutest and best behaved little girl ever! Amelie was scared of Jody at first and that went on for awhile I think, and then she started referring to him as “The Man” (I love that!!!), and finally she got to the point of calling him Jody! I was so happy when I finally got to meet the family, and was equally impressed, they’re just the best of people and so wonderful, and so fun, and so interesting! And I also love that Jason and MaryAnne are both naturopathic doctors, I just listen and listen and try to get any knowledge I can from them in that area!

Little Ellyce (Lee Lee) arrived in late August 2008, and she was just a wee teensy little baby when they came over on the night of our wedding on September 2nd! I took some family photos and newborn photos soon after that (when I was just starting out in my own business!) – it’s incredible to look back and see all of Lee Lee’s dark newborn hair, and now I see how much Amelie has grown and changed!! I saw Amelie and Lee Lee two or three times after that, over the next year, and Lee Lee was growing into such a happy little girl! And Amelie was such a good big sister!

I was so excited to go spend more time with them to take lots of photos of the girls and some family photos! I love seeing both how similar Amelie and Lee Lee look, but also how different their personalities are. Amelie is so so so cute and pretty, and so animated and I love all the silly faces she makes!! And it’s so funny to me how much she loves TimBits!! I have so many photos of her going to the TimBits box! And little Lee Lee is such a happy little girl, she smiles so much, she’s so cuddly (I got to hold her and I loved it!!!!!!), and she seems so laid back and just so happy!

I’m trying out a new feature in the updated blog theme I use, so instead of having this be a long post with lots of photos, they’ll be in a kind of slideshow. And then I made a cool slideshow that I’ve embedded below that! So often with sessions, especially family sessions, there’s just so many expressions and fun and different thing, so I love how slideshows tell the story of the day so well!

And here’s a cool slideshow with more fun photos!! If for some reason the embedding doesn’t work well, you can go here to view it as well.

Client Love!!! :: Winnipeg Wedding Photography

Posted in Personal, Weddings

I so fall in love with my clients!! I love getting to know them, I love sharing in their excitement, I love spending their wedding day with them and feeling like they’re good friends by the end of the day, I love seeing their range of emotions and playing a part in their wedding day – the day they’ve dreamed of for so long! And I love showing them their photos, so they can relive the whole day and have gorgeous photos of themselves!

Two of my wonderful wedding clients from this past year were Aimee & Christopher. I remember first meeting them at my house and how I loved seeing that special sweet connection they had, and a combination of such a deep love and also a fun, almost newly dating excitement for each other – it was so wonderful and sweet and heartwarming! We had such a fun time at their engagement shoot and those are still some of my favorite photos ever!! And their wedding day was so beautiful, they have such wonderful families and had such a fun wedding party, and when we got them off by themselves that deep love for each other was so strong, and then we also had lots of fun photos, I love how much fun they have together!!

Aimee and Christopher recently stopped by to drop off a thank you note and referral letter for me. I was so so so touched, and it absolutely made my day and raises my spirits whenever I look at it!! Thank you so so much, Aimee & Christopher, and know the feeling is completely mutual, I adore you both!!!

I wanted to share some of what they wrote, because it means so much!!

“Dear Rebecca,

In life, we are sometimes lucky enough to meet a handful of people who inspire us to enjoy each and every day, and remind us that life is truly a gift. To our surprise, we did not expect our wedding photographer to be among those people – but you certainly are.

Our home is filled with photos taken by you that capture the love we share for one another. They make us smile and laugh, and serve as a reminder for how special it is to love someone. So for this we thank you…Our wedding and engagement photos are stunning, and timeless – they are snapshots into our journey together that we will enjoy sharing with family and friends for years to come.

Although you are just beginning your journey as a photographer – we know you will be a huge success, because you already are. Anyone who looks at your photos is amazed by the fact that you not only capture the person – but also the emotion, the moment, and the feeling. We made a lot of decisions in planning our wedding, and none were as important, nor as meaningful, as was our decision to hire you. You were everything we could have hoped for and more.

…You are a truly exceptional photographer, and more importantly – person. We hope you keep in contact with us, and we look forward to following your work…

Sincerest thanks,
Aimee & Christopher”

I have so many favorite photos of Aimee and Christopher, it’s so hard for me to choose!! But here are a few of the many I love!

Aimee is also so creative and talented!! I know she’ll end up doing something with the wedding industry, because she loves it so much and is so creative and excited about everything wedding and love-related!! She just started making adorable little cards and boutonnieres, and she’s opening an etsy shop! I LOVE etsy!!!! She just dropped off the first batch of cards – sixpence cards – for me to take photos of for her – she has them available in all different colors and with the cutest little decorations on them!! I quickly took a couple photos so I could attach them here, so everyone can see a little tease of how cute they are!!! I’ll post some more photos soon, and link to her fabulous etsy shop!!!
