Beauty - Portraits

This was such a rewarding photo shoot to do. I admire all of these women for having the courage to sign up to be the singular subject in front of the camera. That can be scary for some. You are all so beautiful. I enjoyed capturing sides of you that I hadn't seen before. It was even more lovely to talk with you and smile with you and collaborate with each of you to create something really special...... a portrait of YOU.

You are all strong, striking, and exude character to be measured. And we were even lucky enough to have a young little beauty with us for a few minutes. 

Love for all of you

Women are beautiful - Promo Photo shoot.

I've had an idea in my mind for awhile about women and how beautiful they are. I look at pictures of my Grandma as a newly wed, my Nana after having five kids, or my Mom when she was about my age, and I fall in awe with how beautiful they are! I only recently had some pictures taken of myself that I feel that same way about. That got me thinking. I want everyone to have the opportunity to have pictures that they feel beautiful in. Capture their real laugh, a coy moment, essentially them, in this moment, beautifully. In answer to this idea, I am offering a one on one Portrait session with......

Lizzy Anne Photography 

February 18th from 10am till 2pm

 (time slots to be determined). 

The session will include Make-up by Artist Coby Topilko (pictured below), Consult on styling, 30-45 min of shooting in a pretty studio apartment in downtown Calgary, and 15-20 edited images on disc. All for $150

The images will vary from creative shots, and beauty portrait, to simple and personal.

This is NOT a boudoir shoot. But some of you that may want a modest alluring shot or two like below can talk to me to make those arrangements. No nudity, no lingerie.

Remember your beautiful the way you are! Let's capture it!

Variegated love - Quilts

My latest quilt project. I made this for a good friend who just had her third baby, first boy. I had this fun dotted wave fabric waiting for just such a handsome little man to be born. I loved mimicking the variegation in the blocks and details. Bright and simple. I added a little hand stiched love in one corner. It's something new for me, so I hope it stands the test of time. 

 

  

Alexander Ford - Portraits

Alexander Ford is all about empowerment. I have to say that I really enjoyed our session. The conversation was intriguing and empowering. I have no doubt that Alexander is good at what he does!

I look forward to seeing where your company goes.

Christmas projects 2011

This Past christmas I enjoyed my 'Merry Christmas' banner so much, that I shared the love! I made one for my sweet little niece Lola and added some pom pom that I made (so much fun by the way!). And I also did one up for My other nieces Holly and Greta who share a room. You can see a pic from in their nursery below. Adorable with that sweet map print. My kids enjoyed the idea so much that Evan decided to make one for his teacher. He did every last blanket stitch by himself!!! SO impressed for a seven yr old boy.

 On actual Christmas morning the tree shone gloriously. It made me so happy to see the lights with all our ornaments lit up to tell the story of every christmas before. The kids on the stairs before opening. I made their christmas PJ pants and tried my hand at a nightgown for Vienna. I just love how they all turned out! I also made Housecoats for the kids and some hooded bath towels. (Vienna got a new full face helmet, which if you know my kids... she needs! And that's what she's wearing under that towel)

My Sis in law Katie made ME a quilt! Isn't it gorgeous!!! So much work! And so completely me! I was so thrilled to be surprised with such a treasure. I don't get many quilts made for me. This one sits so beautifully at the end of my bed. Thank you Katie for this gift!

 And I have the quilt that I made for my Sister for Christmas, still to come. I forgot to take pictures before giving it to her and so I have to steal it back for a quick shot or two. I really enjoyed making gifts this year I tried to keep it reasonable. I made a few other things but this was the bulk of it. Christmas prep was much more calm this year. What have all of you made?
