i have said it before and will say it again and again…

i have an immeasurable respect and reverence for motherhood..

the joy. the tears. scary times. sad times. rewards. accomplishments. love.

you bring life. provide life. nurture life. welcome life.

you are strong yet fragile. tender & loving. unshakable & steadfast.

the most important force & example in your child’s life.

i truly believe there is no better calling.

i want to celebrate that.

show you who you are.

capture your moments…and theirs..together.

you owe it to them. you owe it to yourself.

contact me here: devon@devondurocher.com to book your session. spots are limited.

hi there beautiful baby girl.
i simply
adore
you.

more pretty little images to come soon

this is my beautiful friend Jeri-Lynn

she is beautiful on the outside..certainly

but what is on the inside is even more so…

she is always my friend and often my sanity…

i will be forever grateful that she is in my life.

here are a few more images from our session together…enjoy.

Jeri is planning on donating her hair to a wonderful cause called Angel Hair For Kids that provides wigs for disadvantaged children across Canada who have lost their hair due to cancer. It is an amazing program and an incredibly selfless thing to do…

I love you friend and I am so proud of you!

beautiful girl.
beautiful day.

p.s. these images were taken today. February 4th. Southern Alberta ( do not let the “southern” fool you) gorgeous, gorgeous day! winter? what winter?

Every year for Christmas i hop on a plane and fly home to southern Ontario for the holidays with my family…my whole entire family lives in Ontario and being with them for the holidays is one of the highlights of my year…this year i was deathly ill with bronchitis so it wasn’t a very productive or enjoyable Christmas…but i was still home with my family and really that is all that matters!

while i was home i decided to do a couple of family sessions..

this year i had the extreme pleasure of being contacted by fellow photographer, Stacey Paquette who lives ( and shoots) in southern Ontario…we had not previously met, and only knew each other through Facebook so it was super exciting to hang out with her and her gorgeous family for an hour or so on this chilly Saturday afternoon in my very own hometown of Harrow, Ontario..

my little sister Jenna tagged along for the session and we both had a lot of fun with this amazing family! We still laugh about the moments when all of us were quoting lines from “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”

seriously…so much fun with this family!

thank you ever so much Miss Stacey for trusting me to capture these moments…( and thank you for dressing so fabulously and for bringing that amazing scarlet settee along with you! i covet it so badly!)

so without further ado….

i give you the beautiful Paquette family

i love these images of mom & dad

isn’t she just stunning?

part two as promised!

we hit the riverbottom just as the light was coming down over the coulees…

i couldn’t have been happier!

thanks again Darcie & family – i love these images & i had an amazing time with all of you!

this was my last official family session of the season…that is until i booked a session over the Christmas holidays in Ontario..and an upcoming newborn session! it would seem that i am addicted to this photography thing…hehehe..

i can’t even say how much i love these images..

love. love. love..

ok maybe i can say

such a fun family to hang out with for a couple of hours, some pretty light and a beautiful autumn evening – what more can a girl ask for?!

enjoy!

p.s. this is only part 1 – stay tuned for part 2…

here are even more images of the Johnson family…I honestly cannot say enough about them…

so delightful

i think you will agree..this family has some seriously cute people in it!

on thanksgiving weekend i met the lovely johnson family in the riverbottom. We had totally lucked out and still had amazingly beautiful fall weather and colours! They had just come from eating their thanksgiving feast and were ready to have lots of fun with me…

i left that session with a huge smile on my face..thankful for the opportunity to do what i do..thankful for this lovely family that had been so friendly and funny and easy to be with and take pictures of…thankful that i was able to meet new and amazing people & families throughout the year..

just completely thankful..

johnson family…you pretty much rock…i could see from the very beginning that you love & cherish eachother…

here are a few from our session together…another post will follow soon with more!

It all started with these two…

and multiplied into this…
