Mommy Connections – New Mom’s Group in Edmonton

Michael Shandro — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 17:34:39 +0000

We spent a fun morning with the participants in the first session of Mommy Connections this past week! We are one of the sponsors of the program, and took ‘Mommy and Me’ photos for all of the participants. They’ll each receive a free 5×7 at the next session.

We’d like to thank Carol, the founder of Mommy Connections, for giving us the great opportunity to meet these amazing moms!

Mommy Connections is a great way for new moms to meet each other, educate themselves about motherhood, and learn about great opportunities available to moms. Registration for the March session is open now!

Here is a sneak peek at some of the moms.

It’s a small world: we met Brittany when we presented to the October Wedding Planners Institute of Canada class…

…and we are a HUGE fan of Ailynn and her husband Ken, who operate Whimsical Cakes!

Washuta Family – Edmonton Family Photographer

2010 will bring big changes to Shandro Photo, one of which is a brand new studio space! You’ll hear more about that soon. In the meantime, we used our living room as a brief studio for photos of the Washuta Family before Christmas. Remember this maternity session? Meet their beautiful daughter.

Baby Casey

This little cutie was an absolute joy to photograph. He was really chilled out beneath the warmth of our studio lights! In his short 6 weeks on this earth he’s captured so many hearts, especially his Mommy’s & Daddy’s. And yes, they’re the reason why he’s so cute.

Mommy Connections – Southside Edmonton Mom’s Social Network

Haley Shandro — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 03:18:43 +0000

I’m so happy to introduce you to Mommy Connections. Due to H1N1, Alberta Health Services has suspended the new mom’s sessions, and have been having trouble finding spaces for current new moms to meet with other moms and attend sessions focused on their new babies.

A wonderful new mom that we know very well, Carol, established Mommy Connections for all new moms on the Southside. It’s a fabulous program and we’re very happy to support it. We’re going to offer free photography at the first session of each course!

The first class starts January 7th, 2010. More information can be found at www.mommyconnections.ca, or you can email mommyconnections@gmail.com

And, this is a great excuse for me to post a photo of Andrew – he’s an absolute joy and I was very lucky to join a new mom’s group with him when he was little. An update for all of our blog followers – he’s walking everywhere now, climbing all over the furniture, and talking like mad!

The Baird/Harrisons – Edmonton Family Photographer

Haley Shandro — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 15:53:52 +0000

Michael’s family is huge, and growing all the time. The Baird/Harrisons are in Michael’s extended family, and he was very pleased when they asked him to do family photos. It was just before their daughter started kindergarten, a big milestone for this little family.

Meenu & Tony – Baby Shower Photography

Michael Shandro — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:39:47 +0000

We celebrated with Meenu and Tony the impending arrival of their first child! In typical Indian style, the baby shower was incredible, full of fun games, beautiful decorations, and, of course, performances and dancing. We can’t wait to see this little one’s first birthday party!

There was a fierce game of musical chairs…

…and awesome dancers:

One of the guests was an incredible stylist we have worked with before, Shana Verma, and her husband. This gorgeous couple was celebrating their wedding anniversary the same day!

Congratulations Meenu (on the left)! A special shout-out to Angela (on the right) who Michael has known since University. She threw the amazing bash!

Baby Lucas – Newborn Photographer

Haley Shandro — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:20:28 +0000

Why is baby Lucas so adorable? Just look at his parents! This beautiful boy arrived on Canada Day with much anticipation from the whole family. We are so happy to have a new nephew.

I love his hat – what a cute little man!

Normally we don’t put pictures of people’s bums on our website (they don’t tend to show up at many weddings!), but I love this little bum. I just want to squeeze it! Baby bums, toes, and hands are so precious.

The Agerbak’s – Family Photography

Haley Shandro — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 03:38:18 +0000

We were so lucky to work with the gorgeous Agerbak family recently – it’s easy to see where the kids get their good looks from! Mom picked awesome bright colours for everyone to wear.

A good word to describe this little girl: precocious!

The latest addition to the family.

I love this sweet moment with Mom.

Big sister, and her new best buddy.

We’ve enjoyed watching your family grow, and we’ll see you again in the future!

Baby Cali and Little Boy Brody – Newborn and Kids Photography

Haley Shandro — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:11:36 +0000

Our little neice Cali is 5 weeks old, and Brody is nearing two! Proud (and busy!) mom Krista visited our studio with her two little ones.

This wagon was Michael’s when he was a boy. He received two and this one was left in the box since 1977. We opened it up when we started Shandro Kids, and Brody is the first one to use it!

This is SO cute. I love these shirts that Krista found (‘Little Sister’ and ‘Big Brother’).

Mom and her girl.

Cali is such a beautiful baby girl.

I love baby back wrinkles. So sweet!

Shandro Kids – A winner and a new special

Haley Shandro — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 02:37:19 +0000

May was a wonderful first month for Shandro Kids. We got to introduce you to lots of cute babies, and sweet moms.

We drew for the winner of a canvas print from our clients in May, and the winner was Lenore! Congratulations!

Now it’s June, and time for another special. It’s a good one! Every dad who books a session, or anyone who books a session for a dad will receive %50 off the session fee. Happy Father’s Day!

We’ve been having some fun in our studio, and happy to share some new photos of our little one, Andrew, who is now 9 months old (time flies!).
