Krazy Kamloops!

It was a whirlwind trip to the Loops just before Halloween...5 shoots over 4 days!

Here Payton is showing off the newest member of her family!

Tyanne welcomed a new member to her family too!

(I am so lucky this little on decided to come out early, and we were able to capture her at just 6 days old!)

She was so tiny, she was the first baby small enough to fit in my bamboo bowl!


Of course, I have bigger things to sit in for the bigger kids...as Carter demonstrates here!

(ah...fellow Prairie folks....showing their Rider Pride!)


And, in the spirit of the season, we also had some pumpkins on hand (well...my sister had some pumpkins on hand, which I shamelessly stole for my sessions!)Miranda was an excellent coordinator, directing the gang for the photo shoot! (she did a great job!)

And, Mother Nature smiled on us for the last shoot of the weekend...and even though this little guy just woke up from his only 3 minute nap for the day, he was a trooper!

(cheerios always help!)

Coming up next....some royalty, bunnies, chicks, monkeys & more (a sneak peek from the Halloween portrait special!)

Happy Halloween!

I'm looking forward to a full day of little Ghosts & Goblins!

I don't have any tricks, but here's a treat to share!

Watch for more photos of this little guy & his brother.

He was my youngest client (just 7 days old), but over the weekend in Kamloops, a little girl decided to come out a couple weeks early, so we lucked out and had a chance to photograph her at 6 days old!

Happy Halloween!

Playtime at the Beach

Here's a little peek from a recent shoot down at Gyro Park...

It was pretty chilly first thing in the morning, but the sunshine warmed things up!Here we stopped for a little snack break! But once we were fueled up, it was time to play!This brother & sister duo were a LOT of fun (lots of giggles...once I stopped be the "strange lady with a camera" and became the "nice lady helping pile leaves!"


Coming up next...hm...perhaps a little dancing beauty, or one of my youngest models (just 7 days old!)

I'll be in Kamloops Oct 22-27th, so if you are trying to reach me by phone and can't - this is why! You can reach me at erin@prairiechild.com

In the jungle...

Halloween is fast approaching,and I had a pleasure of meeting this little monkey!

(love the tail - too cute!)
He was all smiles!

Which of course, helps mom & dad be all smiles!

If you have a cute, little halloween costume to show off, there are THREE spots left during the Halloween Special (Oct 31st, 9AM, 12PM, 2PM - details here)

Coming up next...playtime at the beach!

Holy Cuties Batman!

Let me first just say - WOW! There are so many cute kids in this town, it's nuts.

Here's a smattering of the kids from the Baby Fair Photo Contest...
I love this little girl's beautiful curls....and she looks like she's singing with the puppy!My puppy got lots of hugs that day!

Seriously...how cute is this? Don't you just want to scoop these little guys up!
And this shot...I can still hear the laughter!

Of course, it wasn't all laughter!

But it was a whole lot of fun! To see ALL the kids, visit www.prairiechild.smugmug.com

Coming up next....some leaves, some driftwood, and two really fun siblings!

Playtime in the Park!

Here's a little sneak peek into an recent outdoor session at Summit Park.
I hadn't been to that park before - it's beautiful!

This little guy managed to find the season's last ripe blackberries!It took some tickling to try to pry him away from the blackberry bushes!

Then, lunch time came, and it was time to head home...
(is there anything cuter than a little guy with his dog?!)

Coming up next...a beautiful expectant mom, and her slightly reluctant boys...
