Welcome Ms. K - 15 days New

Here is our story....

I have known this family all my life...I grew up just down the street and as a child I spent many a days with them...playing Barbie's, dolls, going to the park, playing outside, eating over, sleeping over...being kids....

We giggled the other day because as kids we always asked each set of parents what was for dinner in a sly way to see which was the better menu for the night...lol...we always got the famous answer of "Stewed bugs and onions" OR "Poop on a stick"...both of us tell our own children that....

She comes from a family of 7 and I a family of 6 so the chaos of what comes with a big family, we embrace....

We may not see each other often but there is comfort in a childhood friend...there is a family connection that will never be lost...

This session reminded me of OHANA, which means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. 

This family has opened up their hearts and home to Ms. K and as you are reading this, know that she is greatly loved.

They wanted to do something special to mark Ms. K's arrival into their home, here are some pictures of our session together.

A ballerina in the making?

Family

She was an excellent subject, barely fussing and I can't wait to watch this little one grow.  I truly hope that she is yours forever because you couldn't ask for a better family to love her.

It was so nice to catch up and thank you for trusting me to create this beautiful memory for you.

P.S. A shout out to all the knitters out there for making these beautiful hats, Kristi Livingstone.

2015 - Give Back Project -April

2015 - Give Back Project April

Again this month was about giving back, giving back to a cause that I hold close to my heart.

C is 21 and will be welcoming a little boy to her family in a few short weeks.......

Every time I have an opportunity to give back and photograph a teen mom the question is always asked, "Why are you doing this?"

The reason.....as I have said before is because I was a teen mom and this is my opportunity to give back to something that I never had an opportunity to do...given the circumstances.....simply put I just couldn't afford it.....

 "All Dolled UP with No Place to GO" had teamed up with me, to provide professional make-up applications for these girls to make them feel beautiful.

 

Please again here is the project...share

 

MY NAME IS SIOBHAN......PLEASE HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD

This is my moment to give back to you and to tell your stories ………

Not all pregnancies are planned, in fact, most of them are not.  Being pregnant can be scary, and even more so for a teenager. 

Being a teenager and finding out that you’re pregnant is a shock, not something you ever believed could happen to you, it happens to others, right?!?

I know firsthand what being a teenage mother is like…….I was one and wouldn’t change anything for the world…… and when I look back at the scary thoughts I had of becoming a mother at such a young age, I realized, I never took the opportunity to capture, cherish and embrace all the beauty, magical moments and memories that come with being pregnant and motherhood.

We are women, we can grow another human being inside of us…a tiny life…a moment that should be captured despite our age.

I am a photographer and my colleague is a make-up artist, and we have teamed up together to give something back, back to a moment in time that should be treasured nonetheless.

Our goal, is to provide professional photography and make-up for teen mothers who want nothing more, than to preserve a memory for a life time.

We will be offering a free session a month throughout the year to give back…..if you know of someone who is a teen mom expecting and would like to pass on my information, please have them contact me at memoriescaptured@telus.net. With Teen Mom written in the subject line and your age.

Not to discriminate against anyone but my cut-off age will be 22.  Thank you for your time is reading this venture that I have set out to do….

Kind Regards

Siobhan, Memories Captured

We tried  to outdo the weather but the weather was no match for us....the wind nearly knocked us down, threw dirt in out eyes and then the dark gloomy clouds made there way in......so we decided to take a break till the Monday night and let the weather work itself out....but I enjoyed my session with these two and here are some sneak peeks...
