this little one entered our world last Sunday, so she’s just 8 days old! I just love when they’re so expressive at such an early age!

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $2000 worth to be exact! All session images in a beautiful keepsake box, plus a high res. digital copy of each on a cd. It’s in your power, and mine, to give them the memories they deserve this holiday season.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $250 print credit. What better reason to show some love, could there possibly be?
The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
* The nominee must reside in Central Alberta. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
* You must e-mail me the full story : marlene@paintedlightphotography.ca
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
With love,
Marlene
can be such a bittersweet time ~ especially if he’s the only boy


Little “J” is growing up! Taking some of his first steps in my studio! I feel so honored!
A big thank you to his mommy and daddy for bringing him and his big brother in today!

Whether you’re looking for updated photos for grandma, or you just bought your little pumpkin a brand new outfit and you need to photograph her before she outgrows it (and boy does that happen fast!) this is the session for you! Children must be at least 6 months old please. WHAT YOU GET: One 30 minute session on an all white background for just $29. Prints are then just $40 per sheet. This is a major savings! One sheet may consist of:
2-5×7; 3-4×6; 8-wallets; 1-8×10; 4-4×5

she was soooo sweet, and such a personality. I think she’s gonna be on Canada’s next top model soon. . .
heck, why limit yourself girl, make it America’s next top model!

One would go one way, the other would go the other way. . . isn’t that the way it always goes?
A cute little family. . .

look at all the beautiful women in his life!



My how time flies! I photographed her as a newborn and can’t believe the changes! Here’s one sneak peek for ya!

I found it necessary to redesign my old blog, yet again. To make it easier on myself, I have opted to put the images from the old blog into the separate galleries, so have a look there if you remember seeing your images on the old blog. This new blog will be another option for those who have difficulty with the loading of my website, I will hope to have most of the same information here, that is on my website. Onward we go!
