Julie & Jody

October 31, 2008
Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph Julie and Jody — twin sisters! You may remember Julie from her family session I did the beginning of the month. http://janakendallphotography.blogspot.com/2008/10/keith-family.html
Anyone who knows these two will agree they are a riot — the laughter never stops and love for life pours out of them!! They have been a part of my life for a long time, and I wanted to capture their spirit, so we headed for downtown and had a a great afternoon fooling around!!
I could have posted every photo of them —
they are all my fav`s….so, here are only a few from our session!
Love you guys!

Clark Family

I got to hang out in some dirt with a great family last week for their session!! It was kind of easy choosing the biggest dirt pile in town to take some shots of these guys — they are used to playing in the dirt — Tyla, 13, races motocross — and from what I’m told, she is better than most of the boys!! Way to go girl!!
We had a bunch of fun, hitting up a few different locations and got some great shots!
Enjoy your sneak peeks!

Phelan Family

October 26, 2008
It’s been about a week and a half since I met up with the Phelan’s to photograph them, and I still find it hard to come up with the words to write this post……
my heart still almost leaps from my chest…..
The day was bright and cheerful,
three gorgeous kids and a great mom and dad — it was going to be one of those sessions!
Until……..little Quincey discovered an open manhole that was once covered by old wood……yup, you guessed it, he fell into the hole! With his little body barely peeking out of the hole, I managed to pull him out safely. Dad scooped him from my arms and calmed him down, made sure he was okay and gave lots of reassuring hugs.
We were all so shocked at what had happened, but we were able to gain composure and carry on.
It still gives me shivers to think of it, but we ending up having a great session and Quincey, the little trooper, didn’t seem too bothered by the whole ordeal!
These are some of my favorites from the day…..

Hammel Family

During the summer, I was involved with the 3rd Annual Bosom Buddies Golf Tournament to benefit Breast Cancer, where I donated a family session for the silent auction.
This family was the lucky winner, so we ventured out on Thanksgiving weekend (boy that seems like a long time ago!) and had a great time in the park!

Thanks guys for hanging out and more importantly,

supporting the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation!

I met up with a good friend of mine and his family last week to get some family photos, and we had some laughs and a great time getting these photos! Here are a few of them…..





Kegan & Kaeden

Last week, I hung out with these two adorable little guys, and despite the cold air, we got some great shots in! Kaeden wasn’t so much in the mood for photos, but his older brother had no problem performing for me!!

When one of my oldest friends asked me to do her family photos, I jumped at the chance! She and her family are simply beautiful — inside and out! I had a great time hanging out with these guys!!
Enjoy your sneak peeks!!!

Alana & Stephen

October 11, 2008
Our day got started off by hanging out with the girls, dancing and laughing while they got ready for the wedding, in one of the dressing rooms at the Dow Centennial Centre! It was a riot from rockin’ out to Madonna and Big & Rich, and just plain old fun!!
Alana and Stephen were married last weekend, in a beautiful ceremony, where they exchanged their own personal vows to each other. After the ceremony, we got to hang out for the afternoon creating some great photos and sharing more laughs together!
The reception was tons of fun, complete with sound effects during speeches ;) and Alana & Stephen started the dance off with their version of a fox trot — way to go guys — you did an awesome job! Thanks for including me in your day — I had a blast!

The Burton Family

I had a great time hanging out with this family the other day!
I was so excited to get the chance to photograph little Miss Paige for the second time and she is just as gorgeous as when she was born! And her older brother is such a nice kid, with the most incredible eyes!! Thanks for hanging out — and for the laughs!
