No, I’m not pregnant! Yes I am craving some yummy yummy brownies!! I just wanted to post some pics of my little Kobester making these delicious brownies that Auntie Nat, Uncle Mark, and the cuz’s…..yeah it’s a new word…..sent to us for Valentines Day! We had lots of fun making these. We still have one more mix to make and we can’t hardly wait.
The mix.
His favorite part.
Still his favorite part.
Me, "KOBE take the whisk out of your mouth and smile!!!"
He just couldn't wait! "Mom.....I soooo Hungry!"
And of course, nothing goes better with chocolate cherry brownies than a Diet DP.

I have had the hardest time trying to narrow all of the pictures down. I ended up with a lot of really great shots of this lovely little angel! She was NOT going to close her eyes. Even when she started to doze off, she would open one eye just a bit to see what I was doing! I swear she could feel the camera getting ready to take her picture. It was crazy. She did eventually fall asleep and I was able to get a few sleepy shots. It was nice to meet you guys. I’ll have your gallery ready in the next day or two. Until then…..ENJOY!………………………………….
- I can’t decide which one I like the best. Color vs. BW
The cute little crib is from one of my favorite stores………Country Pumpkin! Cute eh? If you like it and have to have it, e-mail me tj@anecaphotography.ca, and I can get you the address.

This was such an awesome newborn session. I love it when they do what I want them to do. This little guy was such a sweet treat. He stayed awake for the “awake” shots and slept when I wanted him to sleep. AHH……if they could all be this easy. It was nice to visit with mom too. She is such a beautiful lady! I sometimes wonder how I got so lucky to be surrounded by such good people. Thanks for the good time Elaine! Enjoy your sneek peek!

Yesterday my best friend was here with her kiddos! Of course we had to take some snaps of the boys. We never get pictures of these two. It’s always the girls! They actually like their picture taken. We had all of 5 minutes to get these shot and out the door to pick up kids from school. I think that we did a fabulous job! These two were awesome in front of the camera. I love these kids like they were my own. Now you can update your wall pictures of your boys. Thanks for the good time!

Just flash the judges your sweet smile and you’re sure to win!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day! I hope everyone has someone to love on this wonderful holiday! It sure makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that I have lots of love around me. What a cool feeling to see 6 smiling faces this morning sitting around our island. I am so blessed to have all of them in my life. I LOVE my family. They are my everything.
Now, I had this crazy idea that I thought I’d try. It’s called ”Show them some Love”. How it works is, whenever I post a sneak peek for my clients, I want you to comment on it. When the comments hit 25, they will receive a FREE 8×10! Cool eh? So starting today, start commenting and SHOW THEM SOME LOVE!!!!

I had to post the kids valentines that I made with them this year. They turned out soooo cute! This was not my idea. A friend of mine e-mailed the link cause she knows that I love to make their valentines cards. So technically I made them but hawked the idea off of some other super duper creative mama. Here is the link, http://kari-youcanmakeit.blogspot.com/2010/01/photo-pops-vday-idea-genius.html. Check out her blog for some wicked stuff! I’m sure I’ll be hawking more ideas from her in the future!
This was taken after he played his school basketball game and then headed straight to community league basketball practise. He was so exhausted! I did finally get him to smile though. I just had to mention a certain name. Hehehe!
Yes I realize I spelled "Valentines" wrong. I think I should be the one going back to grade 3. She's the one who noticed it first! Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to change it and have them printed in time so we just went with it. The funny thing is, no one even noticed it! HA!
She had lots of poses that she wanted me to use. Sometimes its better to just keep it simple.
These are his "kissy" lips.
My little pirate!
The final product! Aren't they cute?!

I realize I am posting these a little late. The run has already been through Alberta but better late than never. My beautiful cousin was chosen to be one of the runners in the Olympic Torch Run. She asked if she could get some sweet snaps of her running her 300m with the olympic torch. How cool!! I don’t get to see her much so this was a nice treat. Growing up, I always put her on a pedestal! To me she was the coolest person alive! Funny how that hasn’t changed. I still think is the most beautiful person inside and out. Here are a few for you Nikki! They will be in the mail today.
I have to say Thanks to my fabulous 2nd shooter, Brandi Jean! Good Work Sista!

I could seriously take pictures of my kids all day long. To me they are the most beautiful human beings ever! They test my patience on a daily basis and some days I’d like to just give them away………but then I see them playing nice together or helping one another out or giving each other a hug cause they got hurt. MELTS me! It doesn’t make me want another one but it sure reassures me that I am here to learn from them. They are the best teachers! Still so innocent and fragile. I just want to cherish each day that I am blessed to be their mother!
Last night we took some snaps for our Valentines Day cards. We, I mean “I” , had fun. I can’t wait to post the cards. They are so cute. I do have to give props to a friend of mine, Elaine, for the idea. She sent me a link to another blog. Which I will link to on my Valentine’s Post! Until then, here are a few fun ones we took………………..
Kato wasn’t home so I don’t have any of him yet but I posted his fun ones the other day!

This past weekend my girls had their first competition of the year! They did Awesome!!! I’m so stinkin proud of them. They actually practiced for this one and it paid off. Our goal for this competition was to remember all of their routines. I was expecting tears from at least one of them. But no way. They remembered and there were no tears! I’ve been watching made up routines for the last day and a half. It’s pretty cute. Now they want to attempt 2-batons. I love seeing them so jacked about a sport that I absolutely love! I can’t wait for the next competitions to see how they do.
They both received their first medals in a competition. Mari placed 4th in both Medley and Solo. Kami placed first in both Medley and Solo. Kami now advances to the next level in Medley and Solo. She has a lot of work ahead of her. They also placed first in their group routine. What a cute bunch of girlies!!
I thought I’d post a picture of them with their medals. They haven’t taken them off since they got them on Saturday. One of our twirlers mom, designed these medals. She did a fabulous job! She is a very talented lady. She also makes and refinishes childrens furniture! Check it out at http://findmeovertherainbow.blogspot.com/.
Enjoy!

I’ve had the opportunity to take pictures of this little guy before. Back before he was mobile!!! He was quite the little crawler………it’s just amazing how fast they grow! His older brother was such a ham during our first shoot but he was wanting nothing to do with my camera this time. It took a while to get him in the pictures but once he did……..he turned into the cute little ham he once was. And then Mr. Crawler decided he was done. NO MORE for him. But we did manage to get some cute ones.
- Mr. Crawler!
- Dad trying to hold onto him for a quick snap!
- Mom also trying to get a picture with Mr. Crawler. He was NOT going to smile!
- Older brother finally letting me take a picture.

So, I know I already posted today but I had to share the funniest story. At least I think it’s pretty darn funny. I like to call these little stories about Mak - ”Makisms”. My little Maki(makeeeee), this is what I call him, says to Awesome:
“Dad, I have to tell you something.” So serious too.
“What do you need to tell me Mak?”
“Kato needs the beats.”
“Why does Kato need the beats?”
“Because he won’t sing for mom. Mom asked him to sing and he just won’t do it. So I think he needs the beats.”
Awesome and I were trying to keep straight faces through all of this cause he was not kidding around. Funny thing is, I don’t think he even knows what “the beats” is. I guess it’s my stellar parenting skills…………I’m thinking I shouldn’t threaten “the beats” anymore.
I have more “Makisms” to share but that is for another day…………….maybe.
- This is Maki at his birthday party. I’ll post more pics at another time. Isn’t he just so cute?!!

The other day I was just playing so I grabbed my oldest and made him get his picture taken. He is probably the hardest kid out of all of them to get a snap of. My heck……you’d think I was going hurt him by looking at his expressions. I mean “What expressions?” This kid won’t smile for nothin!!! I have yet to get a smile out of him. One day, One day…………………………………………
Here are a couple of them that I liked. This was just for fun. At least it was fun for ME!

Holy Cow! I have been such a slacker in the blogging department. To be honest, I have been a slacker all around. For those of you who have been to my house lately, you know what I mean. I need some nice weather to get me goin again!! One of these days I’ll get caught up on my mountain of laundry, my dust bunnies, my editing, and whatever else I have looming over my head.
One thing I have been doing is going through all of these fabulous Jamaica pictures! Oh how I miss the sun!! I’m getting there Janelle. I can’t wait for you to see them!!!!!! Here are a few more to tie you over. I hope you enjoy these!!!
This is Janelle………the most beautiful bride in Jamaica! This was taken at the end of the night. Seriously! Who looks this good after hours and hours of craziness!?
This is Jason! The Stinky Tuna........or something like that. This is one of my fav's!
Here is one of the outakes! She's in heels and on a ledge. What a trooper!
This was CRAZY!!! Those are ANTS! I had them climb a tree and sit in it and when Jason jumped down he had a freakin colony of ants crawling up his pant leg!!! So creepy. I'm surprised he didn't punch me in the face! I would have!
Here are a few that I took from our bus ride to the airport. What a poor country. Makes me happy to live in Canada and to have the resourses that we do.
So on our way to the airport, our bus broke down. We pulled off on a very narrow road. We didn't think the bus was going to make it, but it did.
This is a picture of the road from a different direction. I just liked the look of the road. AT the end of this road was a nudie beach!!
This is just a fun picture!

It has been a while since I have had a maternity shoot! How fun……….these guys were up for anything. In fact, mom had the cutest idea to put finger paint on big sister’s hands and make cute little prints on mom’s pretty perfect looking belly. The turned out darling! When mom called me to book her shoot a couple of months ago, she told me she was already so huge!!! So here I’m expecting ginormica to walk through my door……….well low and behold………..so far from HUGE!!! More like perfect little basketball. In fact, a couple of shots looked ridiculous because her belly was too small. LOL!
It was so nice meeting the 3, almost 4, of you. I can’t wait to meet baby “A” when she arrives!
Here are a couple of teasers for you………………Enjoy!

I have been wanting to put together a monthly newsletter for a while and well…….I finally just sat down and did it. In doing so, I realized that I have no idea how to go about this. I need a little help from you guys to figure out what I need in it. I would like you to PLEASE shoot me an e-mail or comment on my blog, letting me know what you think it needs. I do know that it will contain “secret” sales and discounts on sessions and prints. So to get those, you will need to be on my mailing list. You can simply e-mail me with your name, number and birthday(I won’t make you tell me how young you are but you are welcome to include that). I am so excited for 2010 and hope to keep expanding my business. I know I have much more to learn but I am having a ton of fun in the journey! Thanks for all of your support.
I FINALLY got to editing some of the Jamaica Wedding pics!! I feel like I’m still in Jamaican mode……….RELAXED!! I wish I was still there sitting by the pool, gettin my tan on & sippin pina colada’s! But real life has kicked in and my CRAZY schedule has hit me real hard. Back to being a Wife, Mother, Taxi, Counselor, Bouncer, & Photog! Good times!
So a few months back I shot an engagement session with an awesome couple at their “Magic House”! I instantly knew we were going to be friends. They are such fun-loving individuals and sooooooo in love! Over Christmas break, Awesome and I went with them to Jamaica to shoot their wedding. What an amazing day it was. We were there for a week and their wedding day was the nicest day we had. It was absolutely PERFECT!!! We couldn’t have ordered better weather. We also got to know them better………..A LOT better! There were a few surprises that had me crying tears of joy! I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in a long time Janelle! If Jay-dog needs any blackmail material…….I got it!!! I keep watching the video of you and Jules doing your thing…….or should I say “shakin” your thing!! LOL! Good times.
Thanks for letting us share this day with you guys and your family! We had such a good time and look forward to getting to know you even better. I have more pictures to post but I know you two are back at work today and I’m sure you’re wanting to see something………………………….so ENJOY!

I hope everyone has recovered from the holidays! I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things. I just got back from Jamaica and I had a FABULOUS time with Awesome and the lovely newlyweds!!!! The weather was beautiful……..but to be honest, any weather would be better than this! It was a shock getting off the plane and into the FREEZING COLD!! I will post pictures of the wedding I shot in a bit but I had to post my favorite picture I’ve taken of my wicked Awesome hubby!!

Well, this is that last post of the year! Awesome and I are heading to Jamaica for a week. I am soooooo stoked!!!! My fabulous parents are taking care of the kiddies……so I know their in good hands………and we get a week of fun in the sun. That means I sit on the beach everyday and Steve goes scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, surfing……….GOOD TIMES!!! I can’t wait to take some sweet pics of a beautiful warm island. Does life get any better than this? So I wish you all a wonderful new year. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I know we did. Thanks to all of you who supported me this year and I hope to see you next year!
Now onto the post……………………….
This little guy was such an angel. He slept most of the shoot. But what a tough little man. He was not bending any which way. I don’t think I’ve ever worked with a newborn that strong. You guys are going to have your hands full! Thanks for bringing him over last night. It’s always nice visiting with your growing family.
