Two and a half year old triplet cuties!

I have not been very good at keeping up with posting here on the blog but I really needed to share this session! We have been so fortunate with a warm fall this year, the day of this session at the end of September, we were in the midst of a heat wave. We were glad for an early morning session so that the boys didn’t overheat in their adorable jackets. This trio truly were a pleasure to photograph with so many smiles. Their parents can be proud of how well these little ones can follow directions at such a young age too!

Spiderman is 4 | Ottawa, Ontario

Every year children change so much, not only in their looks but their interests. In yearly “milestone” sessions for preschoolers and children I love to include something that is truly “them” in their session. During our pre-session consultation I discuss with clients what their child’s interests are so we can see how they can be incorporated into the session. When I was discussing this with Spencer’s Mom I discovered that he especially loves Spiderman. She sent me a picture of this Spiderman sweater he has, saying that he loves to wear it. It is such a fun sweater, I knew we had to include some pictures of him in it along side his more “formal” pictures. At his session Spencer was so sweet and silly and I think his personality really shines through for where he is right now in life right now as he approaches his fourth birthday.

Meet the amazing Spiderman (and his beautiful Mama).

and his alter-ego Peter Parker…err… Spencer!

Why my 3 year old daughter is getting wall art from Santa.

I’ve read the articles that say that having family photos on your walls boosts your children’s self esteem but it never hit home as much as when my three year old daughter composed her Christmas letter to Santa this year. We moved this summer and we are STILL trying to decide exactly where furniture is going so very few of our family portraits have made it back up onto the walls in our new house. My 3 year old must have noticed (and missed) the missing pictures because this is what her Christmas letter looked like.

The third thing on her wish list after a Rapunzel game and an Ariel dress is “a picture of me for on my wall.” As a child of a photographer she gets her picture taken a lot, and she doesn’t always (often) cooperate for those photography sessions but this third item on her list tells me that when I take her picture she feels special. She has an appreciation for that art that features her on the walls of our home. Our first thing on our to-do list for the new year is to get that wall art back up onto the walls, starting with this float mount collage that Santa is bringing her for on the wall in their new bedroom.

If you need new portraits on your walls to make your kids feel special too I would love to talk with you to plan a session!

A Poppy is to Remember

This Remembrance Day we will be thinking of all our friends and family that have and are serving in the Canadian forces. Thank you to all who have served for the protection of our country and protection of those in other countries that are unable to protect themselves. Wear your poppy, thank a veteran and pause for 2 minutes of silence and think about those brave Canadians who went to war – those who never came back, those who were physically injured and those who came back forever changed by their experiences.

Ice Cream 3rd Birthday

This ice cream third birthday milestone session was so fun! We started out with some toy ice cream at the ice cream stand and then moved on to the real thing! Little Sis was so worried that her sister didn’t have an ice cream that she invited her in for a taste!

We had so much fun doing this that I’m thinking of offering a limited edition Ice Cream Parlour session at the end of August/beginning of September. Contact me if you’re interest in some adorably messy pictures of your little ones!

Moving to Ottawa!

I am both sad and excited to say that K McCadden Photography will be moving from Edmonton, Alberta to Ottawa, Ontario this summer! I will be wrapping up things here in Edmonton by the end of June and will be hoping to have things up and running in Ottawa by the end of August! If you are in the Edmonton area and are in need of any print products from your sessions taken with me you will still be able to order but there would be an additional shipping charge after June 2016.

I will be sad to not be able to continue to capture wonderful memories for my Alberta clients but I look forward to meeting some equally wonderful clients in Ontario!
