Just after Christmas we spent a very energetic hour with the Watt Family. All of these boys are cousins! It was great to see them all playing together.

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!

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.

We first met Ines and her husband at Carrie & Nick’s wedding - we were seated at the same table and hit it off, chatting about our children (our little Andrew, and her daughter Naia). I remarked at what an amazingly beautiful pregnant woman she was, and passed her a card for Shandro Kids.  We hand out a lot of business cards, and I’m excited to see the ones that come back to us.  We were delighted when Ines booked our Mini Steps program and can’t wait to introduce you to her little one in 2010!

Ritu & Amit are friends of Renu & Garry’s (awesome clients from earlier this year) and we were delighted when they contacted us about maternity photos! Really soon they are going to find out if they are welcoming a little boy or a little girl. These pictures are in the nursery for when he or she arrives.

Congratulations! We can’t wait to meet your little one. It’s going to be one good looking baby!

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.

The McBees

And speaking of the amazing mom who runs Mommy Connections – meet the McBees!  These two are an incredible entrepreneurial couple, and together they are raising an adorable daughter.  We took advantage of the remaining leaves and good weather for a fun session with them.

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!

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.

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!
