In the last handful of weeks we have been blessed to photograph not one, not two, but three- brand new baby boys!

I thought long and hard about spacing out separate blog entries for them as I wouldn’t want anyone to fall a victim of cuteness overload, but in the end I decided that a viewer’s advisory should be sufficient!

The first baby is Amber and Dave’s little boy, Jagger! He is a February baby who was born weighing 9.5 lbs with a full head of blonde hair!

The second baby is Toni and Justin’s little boy, John! He was born in March although he was almost a month early so he is just teeny tiny.

He had some pictures taken with his Grandma as well, who jokes that she is a “Stalker Nanny”!

Last but not least is Rob and Kristy’s boy, Camden who was also born in March and has a big sister named Addi. Addi continued to tell people after he was born that she had a new sister named Shauna- I’m sure Camden will love that story when he is older! He is one bad little dude as you will see, he is already working on balancing on a skateboard!

I had such a great time with each and every one of these shoots and of course couldn’t be happier with the results.

Big thanks to the mommies and daddies!

As you can see from the lovely pictures below of Cesley’s tummy, there is a little one on the way.
What you wouldn’t guess from the pictures, is that she is only a few weeks away from delivering!

Cesley is one of those lucky women, who is all baby!  When I mentioned as much to her, she was quick to inform me that her feet were too swollen to fit into regular shoes, and she wasn’t overly happy about her slip on shoes.
As she has swollen feet, I think we ladies must forgive her for her extraordinary genetic luck in the middle section!

This shoot was a ton of maternity photo fun! We marched across bridges and through tall grass, convinced Cesley she must lay down on the wooden walk and then strolled across the park to the playground to hop on the swings.

To wrap it up, it was a great shoot, great day, with great clients and great results!

Cant wait to see the little guy the next time we meet!

FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA……. I think I have the right amount of LA’s there!  With sugarplums dancing right around the corner, and chestnuts getting ready to roast, we at KAS Images are getting into the holiday spirit!

JINGLE BELLS!  Who knew Christmas cards this year could be that easy?

Madeliene and I go back about 8 years, however we probably hadn’t seen each other in about 6!
I was honored when she asked if we could come and do an engagement session for them, and excited beyond belief to see her again!

I couldn’t help but notice the wave of panic washing over poor Scott and Andy’s faces when Madeliene opened her apartment door and we exploded into a flurry of excited chattering,  crying and hugging.

The mood was super casual, the weather was beautiful!  We went strolling along Whtye Ave, stopping whenever we found a spot that looked like fun.

Scott later mentioned to me how difficult it can be to take photos when one  photographer  and one half of the engaged couple never stop chattering at each other …. oops!
Despite all the visiting, the photos turned out amazing!   So happy for Madeliene and Andy, cant wait for their wedding!

Ok, so she’s actually a school teacher, but she is so stunning that she might as well be one!

We were invited over to Alycia and Trevor’s house to do a maternity session this past Sunday.  You never know what the weather forecast holds in Alberta during the month of October, but we lucked out with a  beautiful sunny afternoon.  We split up the photo session so half our time was spent  indoors and half at a park a couple blocks away.

Their ridiculously cute four year old daughter, Charlotte entertained us while mommy and daddy finished getting ready.  She continued to make us laugh  non-stop through out our whole time together and was delightfully cooperative!  Her mommy told me that Charlotte’s choice of name for the baby on the way is “Sparkles”.  So funny!   It reminded me of when our daughter Jaedyn was about that age, and I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up……. she told me she wanted to be a bird!

We are looking forward to spending time with these guys again soon, can’t wait to meet and photograph baby “Sparkles”, due to arrive in early December.

Well, here we are, finally!  Our stumble into the blogging stratosphere has been long overdue!

Where to start?  I sit down at my computer and I open a  new document,  my fingers are poised over the keyboard preparing to begin a literary masterpiece.

Then, I do nothing as my mind goes completely blank.  I imagine I can hear  those little crickets chirping that they play during akward silences on cheesy television shows.  I contemplate why I am writing the first blog entry and not Scott.

As my mind wanders, I start thinking of blogging as a vast universe that I am about to catapult us through and before I know it, I can hear Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s voice, echoing through my head.  “These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise, our continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before!”

“Really?” I ask myself, “Are you serious??”

I cant believe that I am only three sentences into our new KAS Images Photography Blog and instead of introducing ourselves, I am quoting Star Trek.  Not only am I quoting Star Trek, but I am also trying to reason with myself that there is a legitimate reason for it.    A first blog entry is metaphorically  like the maiden voyage of a brand new ship, is it not?  This is how I am going to justify it if Scott reads it and tells me I should change it.

That being said, there is only so much digressing he will let me get away with, so here goes nothing!

We are KAS Images.  KAS stands for Kimberley and Scott and we do photography!  Although we are based out of St Paul, Alberta, we work throughout the Lakeland area and beyond.  We are frequently in Edmonton and Calgary as well as the lower mainland, British Columbia from time to time.

That’s it!  You get the idea.  Anyone who wants the specifics can find them on our website.  This space is about you getting to know us, the people behind the cameras, the people behind KAS Images.  There will be no shortage of entertainment on this blog, with both Scott and myself keeping it updated!  Do feel free to keep coming back, follow along and share your comments and feedback!
