Soccer Sneak Peek {Sports Photography-Black Diamond, Turner Valley}

Posted May 28, 2014 to Children's Portraits , natural child photography , Sports Photography by: .

I’ve captured three shoots of Soccer Photos for the Oilfields Soccer Teams in Black Diamond so far, with a few left to go.

Sports photography is not typically my thing, but kids portraits are, and so far this has been a lot of fun!

To the U6 teams from Saturday, all I can say is you guys are soooo cute! Seriously, as I was choosing the best individual photo of each team member, I was saying to myself how sweet you all are, and loving the great smiles you all have. 

U8 kids from Monday night, you guys were cracking me up so much! What a fun bunch! Did you all eat silly beans for supper, before coming to Soccer practice? Despite all of your antics, and the required silly pose for each team photo, I had a lot of fun with you guys, and I have some great individual portraits of each of you. Water Tower Park at that time of day was working quite well for lighting. 

Here’s hoping this rain to let up by this evening for tonight’s Soccer pictures in Turner Valley. 

Here are a few sneak peeks from Saturday’s shoot. Thanks to you Mamas who allowed me to use these images:) Enjoy!

Update

Posted May 28, 2014 to Children's Portraits , Event Photography , Sports Photography by: .

Hey Everyone,

It has been a busy stretch for me! I’ve been taking a few courses through the Clickin’ Moms University, doing lot of Photography including Pre-School Portraits, Event Photography in High River, and Soccer Portraits in Black Diamond. I’ve also accomplished an entire re-design of my business and my website.

Gosh, with all of these things going on, I barely had time for the mad rush of spring gardening;) But somehow, I managed to squeeze it in.

With my business name change, and new website, I also started up my new business blog, which I’ve not had any time to post to. But now that everything is coming together, I shall endeavour to use my awesome new blog as intended: to share my love of photography with you. 

Take care,

Rachel

Natural Kids’ Portrait of Two Brothers {Millarville Child Photographer}

Posted March 30, 2014 to Children's Portraits , My Boys , natural child photography by: .

I captured this natural portrait of my boys last spring, as they were exploring puddles and ditches full of water, near Millarville. I brought my camera along on this lovely spring day, as we enjoyed the first warm days, the melting snow, and the promise of warmer days to come. 

 I think every child is fascinated by, and drawn to puddles. Our home, and a warm change of clothes were nearby, so I let them explore, and I was rewarded with this beautiful photo of Brodie helping his little brother up out of a deep ditch. I love how I captured his caring, and protective personality toward David. It instantly became a favourite family photograph. 

 After doing some editing, and muting some of the stronger colours in the photograph, I came up with what I feel is a gorgeous artistic lifestyle portrait of two brothers. I had it printed as an 11×14 Gallery Wrapped Canvas for our home, and I love looking at it every day.

Welcome to my Blog, and Introductions.

Posted March 23, 2014 to Uncategorized by: .

Hey there, and welcome to my new Blog! I’m so excited you’re here. I’ll begin by introducing myself, and allowing you to get to know me better.

My name is Rachel Ellen Imrie. I live with my husband, and our two sons, near Millarville, Alberta. My family is my life. Our two young boys are energetic, loud, silly, and full of fun. They keep us busy, and there is never a dull moment.

We love our times together as a family. We love campfires, going sledding, riding bikes, flying kites, watching my husband fly model airplanes, and going fishing.

In addition to my passion for Photography, I have many other favourite past-times, and hobbies.

I love cooking, and getting creative in the kitchen, (although cleaning up afterward, is not my favourite part).

I love many types of crafts, including sewing, and making floral arrangements.

I love to garden, feeling the soil, and watching things grow. After our long Canadian winters, it brings me such joy to watch the tender green plants emerging form the ground.

I love going for long walks, immersed in the beauty all around us. In the winter, I love cross-country skiing, gliding over the snow. I also love going for long drives.

I love isolated wilderness, and remote places.

I love wildflowers, and study them endlessly. I love sunsets, big skies, water, and forests.

I love spending one-on-one time with a close friend or family member, and having a heartfelt chat.

And of course, I love Photography. I love the ability to capture, preserve, and share the beauty that surrounds us, whether it is the beauty of the outdoors, the study of a fragile flower, or the people we love the most, and share our life’s journey with.

Thank you for visiting my Blog. I hope to share my love of Photography, and these many things I love with you. Enjoy!
