    .a little change. {stettler photographer}

    Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

    First, a couple of reminders:

    1. If you’re one of the people leaving your Fall Mini-Session booking to the last minute, get on it! ha ha
      Half the spots are gone already and you will want to ensure you get the time that works best for your family!
      Book now!
    2. Brides: Less than 2 weeks left to book your 2011 Wedding at the 2010 Prices! Contact me for details and to reserve your date!
    3. I have only one more date open for regular sessions in September and October dates are filling quickly. Newborn sessions will be fit into the schedule shortly after Birth Day, but they must be pre-booked using your Due Date. You can view the Zimmermann Photography Schedule at anytime on the website.

    Now, a mini-announcement that may upset you; but don’t worry, we’re all going to be okay:

    No more Sneak Peeks.

    I’ve decided that I’d like to save the first look of our clients’ sessions for them. The build up of anticipation may darn near kill a client but having the first look at an entire gallery at once will be a great pay off — trust me!

    Don’t worry, blog readers — you will still get to view some of my favourite images from the sessions but not until after a client has viewed their gallery and ordered the ones they love the most! That means there may be a short period where the blog isn’t updated while we wait to get on the other side of the sessions.

    I hope I didn’t disappoint anyone too much and will try to keep your entertained as best as I can during this change.

    If you’re new to the blog, then you won’t recognize this little princess that is so special to me! Her name is Madelyn (Maddie to those close to her) and she’s graced the blog with her hospital mini-session and her newborn session.

    This past weekend, we celebrated Madelyn’s birth and showered her mom and her with gifts! (If you need a baby shower gift idea, check out the gift what we got her.) Here’s just a couple images from her big party!

    It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to….

    Beautiful decorations, loving friends and family, Babycakes Cupcakes (yum!) and a hand-made Raggedy-Ann doll.

    Over the weekend, I headed over to Red Deer for the ‘official’ newborn session for Miss Madelyn. If you missed her hospital session and the story of my relationship with her momma, check it out here.

    Here’s the gorgeous little Maddie, again, and if you love the photos, leave some love in the comments!

    Maddie’s ‘sisters’ have welcomed her with open paws and love her even when she’s not in the best of moods!

    This weekend, we had the opportunity to go camping with a great group of friends! Of course, I packed my camera first and since everyone knows what a shutter-bug I am, there was no resistance when I brought it out. Today’s post (and tomorrow’s) are a peak at our fun weekend!

    First up is baby Briggs — remember him here:

    Here he is at 5 months!

    Thursday, August 5th, 2010

    When we moved to Stettler, my very first friend was Lisa. She was 3, I was 6 and our moms quickly became close friends. Between the two of us girls, Lisa’s older brother and my two younger ones, there were 5 of us all with in a 5 year age span and we were all inseperable during our younger years.

    I have memories of picking dandelions and making ‘fly-houses’ with Lisa. Memories of her brother and mine playing guns and running through the neighbourhood. Memories of her mom spiking my brothers’ hair and picking me up from school when I bit through my tongue (another story for another time). Memories of Pepsi, Elvis & Benny and the Jets….

    Although there were some years where Lisa and I drifted apart (age 11 and age 14 are years apart, ya know), I have always kept an eye her way and we have now become even closer over the past couple of years. And now, this girl — young woman — I have seen as my little sister for the past 18 years has become a mother and I can’t begin to express how excited I am to have our children grow up together, the way we had the opportunity too.

    Here is Madelyn, the beautiful daughter of one of the most important women in my life.

    Today I got to meet, and photograph, Owen Lee Gordon M. The best part? He is my brand-spankin’ new nephew and he is only 3 days old! He looks exactly like his big brother and already has the cutest ‘smile’. Even though it darn near killed me, here is the “one” picture sneak peek from his mini-session today!

    If you are expecting within the next four months and are interested in maternity and/or newborn photos, please contact me about booking now. I want to ensure we have your due date in the calendar and don’t book up around it!

    Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

    I love this family! I had the pleasure of photographing big sister right around her first birthday last spring and when I saw her today, I couldn’t believe how big she’d gotten since then! She was definitely excited to show me her new baby brother, Owen and I’m super excited to show all of you some (okay — lots of) shots from today’s session with him!

    I had the best assistant ever today — and she even brought along her own camera!

    Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of shooting the handsome Mr. Benson, his mommy and a pregnant friend of hers! He was such a fantastic little man and held it together until the very end when he was just too tired to do anymore! While Benson took a little lunch break, I used the opportunity to snap a few photos of his ‘auntie’ and her beautiful pregnant belly!

    Before they all came over, however, my own little man helped mommy set up and make sure the lighting was just right. This first one is his “sitting like daddy” pose…. note the low zipper! lol

    Now without further delay — Benson:

    And the mommy-to-be….
