We aren't used to the -40 and -50 temps and the neverending snow, especially the kids, since they were born in and grew up on Vancouver Island where it rarely ever snows. The kids love it - I don't know how or why kids seem to be so immune to the coldness; they would play outside every day, all day if they could! Luckily, my husband and I were able to escape to Mexico for a long overdue and much needed week of alone time. We dropped the kids off at his sisters, after a week-long visit with her and his nephews and his parents, and we hopped on a plane and arrived to hot, humid, sunny weather - just my style!<br />
<br />
I thought I would add some of the photos I've taken over the winter and some favorites from Mexico. Spring is finally on it's way here in icy cold Fort Smith, so the temps are warming up to only -5 or so each day (yay!) and the snow is sort of melting... slowly but surely...! I am hoping to maybe do a photo shoot here and there this spring and summer because I miss doing it! Maybe there are some new babies due to arrive, or someone getting married in the area, or a family who needs to have their family photo updated? Let me know if that's you!<br />

It has been quite some time since I last updated this blog... and not without good reason! I feel like our family has jammed everything it possibly could into the span of the last 10 months! We were away the month of May, we listed our house, our transfer was approved, my husband's family lost basically everything in the High River flood, they came to live with us temporarily, we moved shortly after they left, and we now reside in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories! That's right... no more Vancouver Island for this click-happy chic, as sad as that may be! I do miss the Island, but I must say, it is pretty spectacular up here! The family is loving it - even though winter is quickly setting in!<br />
<br />
I have not been doing any photography lately, because things have been so hectic. I did one last newborn session days before we left since it was for some dear friends of ours, and baby came early just so that I could take his precious photos (hehe!). Other than that, it's just been my own family shots here and there and a lot of outdoors photography of the surrounding landscape and of our trip up here. (We drove over 5 days from Sooke to here, with a van full of kids and pets and a trailer full of necessary belongings and Costco/Walmart stock-up items!).<br />
<br />
I do intend to continue my lifestyle photography business here in the North, aside from my full-time child care provider duties..! I am hoping to be able to establish a small client base here in Fort Smith (and I say small not only because of time constraints and commitments, but because this town is only populated by about 2500 people!)<br />
<br />
On that note... enjoy the randoms below and do look for some new session peaks soon! I will also be doing some photographing of the beautiful and stunning Northern Lights... so stay tuned for that!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />
Janette<br />

It has been so beautiful the last little while. The cherry blossoms are out in full swing, the rainy days have been few (I say this as the grey sky implies it'll rain today). Easter weekend was so beautiful and warm that my kids were able to wear their Easter outfits outside with no coats, and when we walked to the park, it was so sunny and warm that we were all taking our sweaters off! I love it! Yesterday we took our kids to one of the many beaches in the area - I could never say that at this time of the year in Ontario where I grew up!<br />
<br />
Spring is a great time of year to get photos done as well. It's getting warmer, it's getting drier, and the endless amount of outdoor backdrops seem to be popping out everywhere. Any time I am outside or driving somewhere, all I see is beautiful spots to have photos done! I have a few photo sessions on the horizon, mostly newborns (love love love newborns!). In fact, my very dear friend, who I did a maternity shoot for earlier this year, just had her beautiful little baby girl! An exciting day indeed! I can't wait to meet her!<br />
<br />
Please stop by to view my portfolios <a href="http://www.murchiesphotography.smugmug.com/">here</a> and email me to book your lifestyle photography session. I have a limited amount of time slots available this Spring. Photo session packages start at just $150!<br />

Many family and friends have been waiting a long time for these guys to have a baby! ;) I was honored to have the chance to photograph her. She was a feisty little one! Baby {C} was awake and a bit fussy for nearly the whole shoot, but we still managed to get some good shots! Hope you enjoy this little sneak peek! A big welcome to baby {C} and congratulations to mom and dad! :) xo<br />

It was a lovely afternoon, albeit a little nippy. They are due with #2, a little girl! Big brother is super excited, especially that he gets to be big brother to a little sister! :) Here are just a few favorites.<br />

It looks like I'm going to have a few shoots coming up in the next little while... looking forward to them! Stay tuned for some more sneak peeks! :)</div>

I had no clue 10 minutes earlier when my husband got home from work, and as I stood in the kitchen making dinner, that I was about to go into labour. At around 6:20pm, I knew for sure it was labour - contractions were very painful and strong and not very far apart. My husband began filling our birth pool with hot water, and I made a couple of other phone calls. That afternoon, incidentally, I had decided it was a good time to ensure everything was in order for the birth - there were just a few more things I had to put in my birth supply basket, and I set up the video camera in a good spot, made sure there were candles everywhere, made sure my birth playlist was ready, etc. Strange how the universe works sometimes! Something was telling me I better get prepared!<br />
<br />
At around 7:35pm, I was labouring in the tub, and contractions were coming on STRONG and only about a minute and a half (or less) apart. Our midwife was coming from Victoria, and since she wasn't there yet, I decided I should see where I was at with my labour. I was shocked to find that the head was right there and was about to crown! For a few sweet seconds the pain disappeared and there was only excitement... then another contraction came. Our midwife arrived a few minutes later, but my husband and I basically delivered the baby ourselves. :) She got there in time to check the water temp and tell me that we had to get more hot water in the pool or I'd have to get out and deliver on the bed... and I begged for more hot water because I wanted a water birth so badly! Didn't matter though... because the next contraction sent the baby flying! I was in such shock because it happened SO quickly! Out baby came at <b>7:44pm</b>, a mere 3 minutes after our midwife got there!<br />
<br />
I believe my husband got to do the honours of finding out she was a girl. I sat in the pool with baby in my arms for about 5 minutes before we found out. <b><span style="font-size: large;">My husband rocks</span></b> - he had had a pretty bad day at work, but I didn't know it because I went into labour about 10 minutes after he got home. He made sure he did everything he could to make this the birth experience I really wanted. He was running around making sure the kids were ok, making sure my birth plan was covered, making sure I was ok and that I took sips of water in between contractions. Even though we've done this three times before, I'm pretty sure it must have made him more nervous when he heard me say, "Oh my God, the head is like, RIGHT THERE!!" lol. But he never buckled under pressure, he just kept doing what he needed to do. He cut the cord, as he did with our other three, and he got to find out what baby was first.<br />
<br />
Little Hailey was born a healthy 7lb 4oz and 19" long, at 37w6d. She came about a week earlier than I'd thought. I knew she would be earlier than 40 weeks, as all my kids have been, and I knew she'd be fast, as all my kids have been (thank goodness!). Just not quite that soon and not quite that fast! Not that I'm complaining! :)<br />
<br />
We had two of my very good friends with us to help with labour, taking photos, and of course, looking after our other three kids. They were all very excited to be there as baby was being born, and I have to say it was pretty awesome to have my kids there.<br />
<br />
So without further adieu, here are some photos I took during our first two photo sessions at 8 days and 12 days new, as well as two or three from the birth (thanks to friends!).<br />

I have gone through 4 pregnancies now without ever getting a "professional" shoot done... and today seemed like a good day to hand my camera off to my husband for him to get some photos of my belly... before it's too late! I'm about 37 1/2 weeks along, and my babies always come early and fast! I'm guessing we will be meeting this new little one within a week to 10 days?? I'm very excited to be having another home birth, and I have my birth pool all set up and ready to go. In the meantime, I'm still hoping to get a few more with my kids (my son was completely uninterested in participating today) and with just my husband and I, but these peeks below are from what we did today. Love them! :) Love the maternity sashes by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Peek-a-Boo-Crochet-Prop-Shop-and-Couture/110866408991770?fref=ts" target="_blank">Peek-a-Boo Crochet {Prop Shop & Couture}</a>!! I've been waiting to use them, they're so pretty!<br />
<br />
(For the record, any of you ladies out there who are pregnant and wanting a maternity shoot done, we can definitely make use of these beautiful belly bands in your session!) :)<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorites from our little "shoot" today.<br />

I cannot WAIT to take newborn photos of our little bundle! I've been busily crocheting some new hats and other items. The great thing about having your own baby when you're a photographer is that you can do as many sessions as you want, whenever time permits! :) We're not finding out the sex of the baby until he or she is born this time... so what I get to use in our newborn sessions will depend on whether we have a boy or a girl. So excited! :)</div>

I couldn't believe it when I walked into a store on November 1st... Halloween was over only hours before, and already I was hearing Christmas music playing on the store's radio. Craziness!<br />
<br />
It reminded me that before long, people will be getting Christmas cards in the mail. More and more these days, people have been giving up on the old stand-by Christmas cards that you pick up from department stores, and going with something a little more modern and personalized. I love the idea, and so does someone like my husband's Nana, who lives far away, hasn't even met our youngest, and probably won't have a chance to meet our newest addition, due in just 6-7 weeks, for quite a while. She LOVES getting photos in the mail of her family members. If you have family members who live far away, which many of us do in this day and age, wouldn't it be wonderful for them to receive a more personalized Christmas card in the mail, with a photo (or a few photos) of your family right on the card?<br />
<br />
Book your family session with me today so you have plenty of time to create your unique cards, and have them ordered and received in time to send out before the Christmas rush sets in.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few samples of the many different cards available:<br />

Families in the Sooke area, come on out and get some family shots done just in time for Christmas cards, or just have some nice Autumn family photos done.<br />
<br />
Session times are, again, available on a first-come, first-served basis, but must be booked in advance. Available time slots are:<br />
<br />
12:00pm<br />
12:45pm<br />
1:30pm<br />
2:15pm<br />
3:00pm<br />
3:45pm<br />
<br />
Sessions will be held at Ed McGregor Park, where there is a wide variety of beautiful backdrops and areas to take photos. If the weather is unsuitable, we will reschedule, but let's cross our fingers - sometimes we can get some really beautiful fall days in October!<br />
<br />
Fee is $75 + hst and includes about 30 minutes of session time, 1-8x10 and 2-5x7 prints, and a private online gallery of all edited images.<br />
<br />
Please <a href="mailto:murchiesphotography@gmail.com" target="_blank">email me</a> for more information and to book your time slot!<br />

<br />
On <span style="color: #cc0000;">Saturday, October 6th</span>, I'll be doing mini-sessions at <span style="color: #cc0000;">Ed McGregor Park</span> and <span style="color: #cc0000;">Broomhill Park</span> (the big playground in Broomhill area), both in Sooke, BC. A mini-session is only <span style="color: #cc0000;">$75</span> and will include the following:<br />
<br />
- 30 minute session time<br />
- one 8x10 and two 5x7 prints<br />
- online gallery of edited images where you can order more prints and tonnes of other goodies (calendars, puzzles and photobooks make fantastic gifts for other family members!)<br />
<br />
That's all there is to it - a quick session for half the cost, and you still get some awesome family shots!<br />
<br />
I have <span style="color: #cc0000;">only 6 session times available</span> for the afternoon of October 6th. Sessions must be booked ahead of time to guarantee your spot. Please email me for details and to book!<br />
<br />
Times available:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Ed McGregor Park</span>: 12pm, 12:45pm, 1:30pm<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Broomhill Park</span>: 2:30pm, 3:15pm, 4pm<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Picture this</span> - you contact me to schedule a "couples photo shoot", which she will love you for. You lay out the details of how you plan to propose to her. We begin the photo shoot in a special, favorite outdoor location with some couples photos, and then, you work your magic, and I'll be there to capture the amazing moment for you! Instead of just having a story to pass on to family and friends, you'll have the photos to go along with it! Not a lot of people are lucky enough to have their actual engagement in photos, so book now and get a unique photo shoot that's all your own!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;">Imagine the look on her face when you pop the question - and being able to show it to her afterwards!</span><br />

I've not done a whole lot in terms of photography and selling my crocheted photo props lately. The first trimester for baby #4 was absolutely the most exhausting pregnancy thus far (especially with three littles under the age of 4 running around!), and we also had some visitors for a while. Now, I'm looking forward to getting back in the swing of things again. <span style="color: #990000;">I'm booking all kinds of sessions and have lots of openings still for the end of summer and in the fall.</span> I'm also working on some <span style="color: #990000;">new items for my prop shop</span>, <span style="color: #990000;">Doodlebug Designs</span>.<br />
<br />
Book your session now (see packages and prices in the tabs at the top of the page) and let your friends and family know about my website! Couples/engagements, family, kids, newborn, maternity, birth, small-scale weddings, etc. Stay tuned for details on some <span style="color: #990000;">upcoming mini-sessions this fall</span>!Janette Murchiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13324146523729909202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762116558848876440.post-21675565477298715542012-06-11T22:56:00.000-07:002012-06-11T22:56:16.118-07:00Baby {N} - Sneak PeekI finally have a newborn session to give you a sneak peek of! :) This sweet little girl was only 7 days new when I met her and photographed her. She was awake for about the first two-thirds of her session, but once she fell asleep, she was OUT. Baby {N} was a happy little camper though, quite content! And so adorable! Here are some of my favorites - enjoy!<br />

I had been excited to do this shoot for the past couple of months and was glad to see the weather was finally cooperating for us. The park was as busy as I'd ever seen it. With baby and dog in tow, we headed down the path towards the sandy and rocky beach. These are some favorites from the session! {G} family, I hope you enjoy them! :)<div><br />

It was overcast and a pretty decent temperature, not too windy. I'm so pleased with how the whole shoot went! The expectant Mama was accompanied by her husband and little boy, so I was able to have them in some of the photos. There are so many beautiful backdrops here, right on the ocean.<br />
<br />
I hope the {L} family enjoys the photos as much as I do! Here's a little peek at some of my favorites from the session! Make sure you click the photo to enter full screen mode so the images are sharper. :)<br />

It was a joy to be able to meet them (mom and dad, too!), and even though they didn't want to smile for all of the photos, they were troopers and I did manage to capture some cute shots! Sometimes it's hard to get ONE baby to smile and look at the camera lots, let alone TWO! It made for a fun and interesting afternoon. Thanks for having me come to do the session, and I look forward to the fall when they turn 1!<br />

It was Easter Sunday, and these guys apparently never have a chance to get all together - so I had no trouble escaping my house for a few hours in the afternoon to take a nice drive up Island a bit and do the shoots. The weather was perfect - it was 18 degrees and bright overcast - great for outdoor photography. The second was the second half of baby bulldog Ella. I haven't had a chance to get to editing many of the family, or any of Ella yet, but they are coming soon!<br />
<br />
So without further adieu, here's a little sneak peak of the {R} family! (Be sure to click on the first photo so you can view them in a bigger size - they're much more clear that way!)<br />

Although it's Easter, I agreed to take a little time in the afternoon to do a family photo shoot, and also to do the rest of little Ella's pet session! It'll be a busy day for sure, but I'm really looking forward to getting out and doing these sessions! I have a couple of cool shots in mind, so hopefully the weather cooperates and everything goes smoothly.<br />
<br />
I've also been very lucky to have won a tonne of stuff, mostly in the way of newborn photography props from some amazing vendors! I can't wait to see them on some cute little newborns! I have some space available for newborn sessions in April and May, so be sure to contact me to get a great deal - I'm still offering FREE newborn shoots to a couple more clients out there! :)<br />
<br />
It's taken what seems like a really long time to get to where I am right now in my photography business, and there's always lots to learn, and, as I'm finding, lots of helpful advice from other photographers. There really is a lot that goes into starting a photography business, and a lot that goes on behind the scenes. I'm having a lot of fun doing what I'm doing, and things are finally starting to get rolling for me! I hope to keep up the momentum and get things rolling even more this year! <span style="color: #e06666;">I'm now offering lifestyle photography sessions of all kinds</span> - just click on my <span style="color: #e06666;">Pricing tab</span> at the top to view my packages and prices. And a thanks goes out to all the photographers who happily take the time to help newer photographers in various aspects of starting their businesses. :)<br />
<br />
I'm still looking for a client to book my first <span style="color: #e06666;">From Belly to Baby</span> package. This is a very special package that includes three sessions, prints, a photobook, an online gallery, a cd of all the images, and 20 birth announcement cards. I'm taking only a very limited amount of these packages this year, so please don't hesitate to contact me as soon as you have decided that you would like all three of these sessions done. It's a great deal - individually, these sessions would run $600+, but with this package, you save $100. <span style="color: #e06666;">PLUS, the first client to book the From Belly to Baby package with me gets it for 1/2 price - only $250!</span> Please see my Pricing tab for more details on this package.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Other specials</span> I'm currently running include family sessions for only $100 until the end of April, and as mentioned above, free newborn sessions (cd of images is only $50).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Are you a photographer?</span> Be sure to check out my <span style="color: #e06666;">Crocheted Items for Sale tab</span> and contact me to purchase any of the items! I'm constantly adding more items, so check back often!<br />

Yesterday I was able to snap up some shots of her whilst puppy-sitting. She's only 3 months old, and so adorable! Stay tuned for a few more from part 2 of her session! In the meantime, here's a few favorites from yesterday!<br />

Several shots were taken in two different locations, and he loved every minute of it. He's such a photogenic doggie! I had a lot of fun with him and his owner, despite the occasional light rain. Here are a few favorites from yesterday's session.<br />
