Your Life As Art Photography by Pam
Artist & Intuitive | Pamela Zmija
I had the great pleasure of photographing this wonderful family a couple weeks ago. I had so much fun watching all the kids (cousins) running around together 🙂 They truly warmed my heart!
I had the great pleasure of photographing a gorgeous Bride and handsome Groom yesterday as they joined their lives as husband and wife. Congratulations to Mr & Mrs B as they begin this next stage of your life together ~ wishing you many more wonderful years of happiness ❤
Here is a (small) sneak of some of their photos from yesterday. I know they are eager to see them so before I begin all the photo processing I selected some for them to enjoy 🙂
As many of you will remember, just 2 days after we moved into our new house we had to put our beloved family dog to rest, he was 12.5 and was such a good family dog and for many years my best friend.
Yesterday was a hard day for me, driving out in the afternoon to pick up our new man was so bittersweet to me and to be totally honest, I drove in tears. Although my parents have always had dogs, they’ve been family dogs and Ive always loved them, Elwood was MY dog, MY boy. As I got closer, I was more at peace. See yesterday was also 2 months exactly to when we said good bye to Elwood…
So I go in, go through all the paperwork, and then she brought him in, INSTANT love. Instantly everything felt right. Our family has missed Elwood deeply, missed him as a companion, missed having a dog – as he was always a part of our family. Our kids have never known our family household without a dog. However at the same time the way they handled his death was amazing. They know he is up in Heaven with Grama Zmija and Beau, Cars has also told me he’s felt him beside him. We had many signs leading up to getting Mr Becker, that has also reassured me that, this was right. This is what Elwood wanted.
So without further adu… our new lil man BECKER!
It was a great pleasure to have this family ask me to photograph their kids again! As my previous post says Ive known the moms (and their bother + parents) for many years so being asked to capture their children was an honor! The once C family, is now the D and F family 🙂
Thank you again ~ your CD’s are in the mail on the way to both families!
I have known these moms for years and have had the great pleasure of photographing their growing children on a few occassions now. I know you ladies are eager to see some of the photos so I have a sneak ready for you. I had a blast with all of you – your children are just beautiful!
Posting a few sneak peeks for some of the families I am still working on from the Portraits In The Park fundraiser to raise money for Infertility Awareness!
I will have more in a couple days… stay posted…
Here is the first family I shot at the wonderful fundraiser for Infertility Awareness. I had such a great time photographing 7 families while assisting Kara DeRose and her Hubby Nathan raise money for the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada . The purpose of raising money for this group is to get government assistance for couples seeking infertility treatments. Having personally been through infertility I immediately jumped at the opportunity to help make a difference!
Keep watching the blog as I have 6 more photoshoots from this day to process! Up next is the “T” Family! Also for all of these families please note that as per the model release for the Portraits in the Park the wait time for the CD’s is approximately 6-8 weeks from the date of the Photoshoots (Aug 7th), its a lot of work to not only process ALL of the photos for each family (which I am having a blast doing it brings the biggest smile to my face!), Kara also must sort through all sessions to ensure they get out to each individual family after the Photographer sends her our files. Thank you for your support and understanding!
Also for anyone wanting to participate and help us raise money, the Portraits in the Park does typically take place in May… the date had to be changed for this year. However the reason it is held in May during Infertility Awareness Week.

Today is World Photography Day!
As a Photographer I embrace this day… much like any other but today I took photos of a few things I enjoy!
I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family and their new little man! One thing I love about new parents is that unconditional love in their eye, the very slow gentle touch and their slight mixed feelings of awkward-nervous-happiness as they adjust to this tiny wee person. I remember it in myself when we had our first child and in the families Ive photographed with new babies, it certainly is a feeling you will always remember of those first moments with your baby.
These two are not only clients, they are family and I was honored to do their family portraits for them with their new man. Their little guy loved to be warm and cuddled up, so why try to fight it, we worked with the wee peanut all snug in his blanket with his mommy & daddy. I love our results ❤ 🙂
