This little guy turns one today! I spent a lovely morning with him and his mama yesterday and this is how a celebratory birthday cake smash should be. Relaxed and fun! Here is a little preview (okay, a big preview) for his parents on their baby boy's first birthday.
I'm happy to announce the return of the ever-popular family mini-sessions! These sessions were a hit last fall so I am bringing them back for spring. This is a beautiful time of year for family photos as the grass and trees are in full, glorious bloom. These limited-availability sessions will be offered on Saturday May 24th. You may include your entire family, or just the kids – entirely up to you!
Here are the details:
Saturday May 24th – $150
Includes:
A small selection of specialty packages as well as digital files will also be available just for mini-session clients. After your mini-session, you'll be shown a minimum of 10-15 images in a private online gallery and will work with me to finalize your order.
I am also offering a very special pre-purchase rate for those who love digital files (you know who you are!). Reserve your spot now with a $275 payment instead of $150 and receive the session, all images as high-resolution digital files with reprinting rights. Pre-purchasing secures a $125 savings.
Email kimberlywalkerphoto@gmail.com or fill-out the online contact form to reserve your spot or for more information.
Wanna see what a mini-session looks like? Here's a favourite from last fall – The Y Family
Curious to know what a Mini-Session looks like? Here's one of my favourites from last fall.
I will be releasing details for Spring Mini-Sessions next week. These spots fill up fast and will not be offered again until mid to late summer. Let me know if you are interested and I'll put you on the early-bird list for the details.
I spent a morning with Baby I and his mom last week.
Our newest neighbour...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I've been lucky enough to have been photographing this family since Amanda was pregnant with her daughter, nearly 3 years ago. It has been wonderful to watch little Astrid grow, and in the summer she became a big sister when August joined the family (see that session here).
But last week, it was all about August. I spent a morning with just him and his mommy. This little guy is ray of sunshine, literally. He is so full of smiles, you can't help but feel good when around him.
I've been REALLY enjoying these March mini sessions. Can't wait to share more...
I've been trying to set aside time each month to spend a few minutes with my camera and Brooke, just the two of us, so I can be sure I am capturing her at each stage. The first year goes by so quickly and they grow and change so much. I find I rely so much on my iPhone for photos these days, I forget how much I love shooting with my camera, with my girls as the subject. I missed 9 months so I had been thinking about when I might find the time to do 10 months, but it ended up happening by accident yesterday. Brooke was in her usual favourite spot by our back sliding doors after her afternoon nap and I was getting organized so we could go for a walk while it was still sunny. The back of our house faces west and the setting sun was streaming in on Brooke, and of course I naturally grabbed my iPhone to take a snap, but then something dawned on me – here was the perfect opportunity capture Brooke, doing what she normally does. I thought I would take just few shots but once I started, Brooke found it fun to chase after me and we ended up spending quite awhile just crawling around the kitchen together.
She's serious in this last frame. Perhaps starting to find it a bit annoying that I won't let her have my camera to play with.
Yesterday, I spent an hour with Kyra and her sweet baby girl, Cali. Kyra made us coffee, we admired Cali's adorable clothes, talked about the frigid weather that's keeping everyone stuck indoors, and I held my camera and snapped away.
Kyra and Cali's hours together, the days, weeks, and months – they will go by far too fast.
I spent less than 60 minutes with them. And these portraits will be a reminder of Cali at 5 months old. Her adorable expressions, those tiny toes, the way she smiles at her mama and sticks out her tongue, and is just so content to be next to her all day long.
Happy New Year! After a 3-week holiday with my family, I'm back to work this week. It feels good to be setting goals and making resolutions for 2014. Already it looks like January is going to be a busy month with lots of babies on the way. And above is my own – Brooke at 8 months.
