Grumpy Calitz Guys and Their Girls

Remember Megan and John?  We have had the privilege of creating their wedding photos, pregnancy pics and newborn portraits.  Megan is also one of our much loved, highly creative, fun assistants.  Her Little, Josh, has just turned two years old, and she wanted some updated family photographs at their home.  Two is not my favourite age for portraits, so we suggested shooting candids of his birthday party in addition to posed portraits…to be safe.… Continue reading

Little Levi and His Parents

Caleb’s First Photoshoot
