new sherriff in town | whitehorse children's photographer

So Thayer was visiting me at the studio earlier this month and he brought along his cowboy dressups! I love it when kids bring along some of their treasures!! It makes sessions like this so much fun and the images really tell the story of each child's interests. Creative and fun!

3 days to go! | whitehorse children's photographer

guess what?!? | whitehorse children's photographer

Okay, so here's the scoop. For the past year and a half, I have been running my photography business out of a very small, very cramped (and very dusty) corner in our basement. So far, this space has served me well mostly because it was free and close enough to home that I often went to work in my pajamas! However, over the duration of the past year and a half, my collection of props and camera gear has more than outgrown the space available in my home and let's be honest, who loves a dusty workspace?

So after some hunting and searching, I found a space downtown. It's another basement but far prettier and definitely bigger. This is how it all started out. Not very pretty yet but I'm not finished with it yet!

Now the flooring is in and while I wait for my furniture to arrive and figure out just how I want everything set up I am just getting used to calling this "My Studio". I am so thankful that because I have such wonderful clients who support me and my art I am finally able (after fifteen years of working from home) that I am finally able to move into a big, bright space that is 100% dedicated to me and my art.

Because I'm still running the sod farm Monday - Friday with a lot of help from my 12 year old son who is a rockstar (and a quick study, I might add!) I won't be keeping regular business hours at the studio until the Fall. I am booking sessions in the studio so for now, it's open by appointment only.

But don't fret. There will be a party. And a big one at that. Just not until the Fall/Winter. I am immeasurably excited and deeply grateful for being able to continue to do what I love in a space that is accessible to my clients and that is 100% weather-proof. Take that, Yukon winter! ha!

Can't wait for you all to come out and see the new Vanessa Falle Photography studio.
XOXO


PS: here's a look at a bit of the magic that we can make with your kids in my new dazzling space. Can't wait to see you all down there!

and yes, the address is still under wraps until A) you book a session or B) all the signage is up and the furniture is IN!

darcy & jesse | whitehorse maternity photographer

Wow. It seems like all I've been doing lately is photographing newborns and maternity, newborns and more maternity! There is one heck of a baby-boom happening in Whitehorse right now. I can imagine the nursing staff at Whitehorse General are run off their feet!

A short while ago, I had the privilege of photographing this wonderful couple. Meet Darcy & Jesse. They are the greatest, most laid-back couple ever. We had a total blast shooting in their incredibly bright & cheery home (except for the attack of the killer bees incident - yay for Jesse, who came to our rescue!)

Darcy & Jesse are expecting their first baby TOMORROW!! I don't know if he/she is going to be on time or not but I *can* tell you that these guys have invited me to join them on their birth experience to document the story in photos. I can't even tell you how excited I am. I have wanted to photograph births since starting this business and these guys get to be my first family! Lucky me!

And of course, having such good looking parents pretty much guarantees a beautiful baby! And while it's not for me to spill the beans, the baby names that these guys have selected are incredible. Just for the record, I hope they get to use their boy name because it's just that awesome. And no, it's not Megatron, although that *would* be cool!

And seriously, this woman is all belly. You can't even tell she's pregnant if you see her from behind. Darcy says the waddle is a dead giveaway though!

And just between you and me, I think Jesse is pretty darn excited to meet his new little person.

C'mon little babe! Everyone's waiting to meet you. I know I, for one am not straying very far from the phone... that's definitely one phone call I don't want to miss!
