Lauren and I have a special new project that we’re undertaking and we need your help!
We’re looking for a newborn in the Edmonton area (less than 10 days old). We’re looking to do a special shoot at some point next week. If you or anyone you know is expecting right away, or has a recently given birth to a beautiful baby then please get in touch with us ASAP!
The lucky little baby will get the session totally free. Hooray!!
Just forward them this link, hit up our contact form, or give our studio a call at 780.758.0919
Over the years we’ve been really fortunate to get to photograph some beautiful families, adorable babies, playful couples, radiant moms-to-be and straight-up awesome people. And the more we do these shoots, the more we just adore them.
So we’re beginning a new stage of our business with a strong focus on portraits. Weddings will still be a big part of our business but hopefully with many, many more portraits!
This direction is especially exciting now that so many of our wedding couples are starting little families of their own! I can’t tell you how sappy we get when we hear one of our clients is expecting…*sigh* It’s so fun to see them going from figuring out how to plan a wedding to figuring out how to change a diaper, haha!
Anyways, I’m sure you’re just waiting for all the details so here they are!
And to celebrate this new direction we’re offering a fantastic discount on our portrait sessions! They are normally $350 for weekday sessions and $500 for weekend sessions, but for all bookings in May and June they will be only $150 for weekdays and $300 for weekends! Zoinks! Did you catch that?
$350 -> $150!!! for weekdays
$500 -> $300!!!! for weekends
Hooray! If you’re interested make sure to drop us a line right away since our weeks tend to get pretty full pretty far in advance! We will also be offering gift certificates of our sessions, which is kind of like the best present EVER!
Send us an email at love [at] robandlauren [dot] ca and we’ll hook you up with more details. Make sure to let any friends know about our special, since it won’t be around for long! And now, for your viewing pleasure, a few portrait favs. For more make sure to check out the new site!
P.S. These sessions are also perfect for engagements or even getting dressed up in your wedding dress again and having some fun!!!
Wow. The past couple months have been such a busy time for us, prepping for the summer, coming up with new ideas, new projects, new products…It feels like we’ve finally started to actually DO all these things we were preparing for!
This is one of those things; what we will be calling Rob & Lauren // Moving Portraits. I’ll let you watch, and then explain afterwards. (P.S. You can click the arrows in the bottom right of the video to watch in full screen)
Allow me to get a bit philosophical here. I really feel like Rob and I aren’t just photographers. Instead, we’re artists, and photography is our current medium of choice to express our vision. What inspires us is people, both individually as well as their interactions with others. Photography has been a wonderful way for us to capture these people we’ve worked with, but recently we’ve started to explore how small bits of video can add to our vision.
So we started with little Samantha. We took a lot of images that are beautiful captures of her and her tiny personality, but we also took video. That’s how we created that small little clip you just watched. And personally we feel like it captured things that the images just couldn’t quite get. Her yawns, the way she wiggled and kicked, the way her eyes just looked right into the camera. It’s a way to create a portrait of someone, and show who they are, even though the images are moving rather than still.
What does this all mean?? Well, this is the deal. The first five people to book a newborn session with us will receive a Moving Portrait for free. This can be used in combination with our current portrait session special, which would give you a crazy good deal!
Why newborns? Well, there is always somewhere to start, and this is where we will start. Literally at the beginning of life! Moving Portraits is a project of ours that is just beginning, and we will be exploring in all different forms, but for now this is what we’re up to. We also absolutely LOVED shooting a newborn, and can’t wait to start doing a lot more! So if you are expecting, or know someone who is, please get them in touch with us right away to take advantage of this completely unique product, because as far as I know, there is NOONE else doing this quite like us :) But by now I’m sure you know how different we like to be!
Well, I won’t keep chatting on and on here. Enjoy these images of Sam, and I hope you’ll keep checking back in for more of our Moving Portraits! We have big plans for these :)
Usually babies this young spend most of the session sleeping (from what I’ve learned!) but Sam was wide awake, and giving us tons of great moments, like this adorable sneeze!
And such expressions. I love this one!
It might be just me and my crazy mind, but she totally looks like a boxer here!
Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of our new project!
Adam was a sleepy little guy. But he knew that we were waiting for him and finally peeked at us, and opened those gorgous eyes. I can’t believe how different shooting newborns is. It’s something we’re really really loving. I mean, Adam will literally never look the same as he does in these images. We just saw him again yesterday and he was already totally changed!
Kingston doesn’t care too much for schedules. Even though the whole world had planned to meet him at the end of this month, he decided to come 4.5 weeks early!! There went our plans for a maternity session ;)
In the end though, we’d much rather meet this little man early. And I’m sure his parents are pretty happy to get to spend so much more time with him! You might recognize his gorgeous parents from this post, or even this one. They were one of our wedding couples from last year, and we were so excited to get to shoot them in this new and awesome point in their lives!!
We had a chance to see Bishop recently, a few weeks after his newborn session, and I cannot believe how much he has changed! It’s just amazing to get to capture the way a little one looks, and to know that they will never look that way again.
