Friday full of maternity sessions!~ Red_Deer_Maternity_Photographer

This past Friday was FULL of Bellies! Which means in about 4-6 weeks the blog will be FULL of BABIES! YAY!..!

While talking with my clients at a session, I am often reminded just how small the world, (especially Central Alberta) truly is! My First sneak peek for today is a client that googled me,  made her photographer choice by my website portfolio, and booked her session.  Skip ahead about 2 months.. and my husband is on a flight home from Winnipeg, and there is another man from Red Deer on the Flight.. they get talking.. and well it is the brother of our business partner! Cool huh? Now you ask.but how does this relate to this post.. well the other man, is also the father of my client.. and a VERY VERY excited grandfather to be!

So.. I arrive at the session, we giggle at the coincidence, and Jen goes on to tell me that her Grandparents originally lived close to where I am living.. Well turns out that they actually lived on the same land as we do now!!

Here are your sneak Peeks Jen & Chris!

HACKED~~~~~

I just wanted to post this so that everyone can see whats up!
Last night at some time, my facebook account and my yahoo email were hacked.
I am so very sorry for any of the emails and messages that may have been sent from my account.

here is the email

I’m writing this with tears in my eyes,my fam and I came down here to Wales,United Kingdom for a short vacation unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.

We’ve been to the embassy and the Police here but they’re not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in less than 5hrs from now but we’re having problems settling the hotel bills($2,000) and the hotel manager won’t let us leave until we settle the bills,I’m freaked out at the moment….Let me know if you can get help to us rigth now.

Thanks

Deanna

I assure you all I am NOT in the UK, and we are all just fine.. or well.. other than this to deal with today.. we are hoping to enjoy a great family day weekend!

BE SUPER cautious about any contact with my profile right now. At one point this morning they were even chatting with a fellow photographer on the FB Chat! trying to convince them, they were truly me!

I have taken the steps needed ( I hope) my yahoo email hack has been reported and is in total lockdown for 24 hours. I have also reported my facebook account so its under investigation. Because they hacked in via my yahoo email, I was unable to just request a new password.. ( I wasnt able to log into my account, and they are good. I immediately went into my secondary email account (listed off my yahoo one.. which went to a hotmail account.. I can see that at 1:50am this morning someone added a new email address to my yahoo account. and then also went back in and deleted my secondary email from hotmail. )

they have also went in and changed my phone information on my facebook profile. so for now.. i guess just ignore most of the contact you have from me.

for some reason I am still able to update my facebook status via my twitter.. but I have no idea how long that will work for, or if maybe and hopefully they have given up on my account.

here is a cool link with info on all the facebook scams, and several ways to be preventative that this wont happen to you! http://www.switched.com/2009/09/15/5-popular-facebook-scams-and-how-to-avoid-them/

And now for the sneak peek! I snuck out of town this weekend for a quick and fun maternity session. I always LOVE getting to shoot in new places! We started off in the house for a few traditional poses,  then we wrapped up,  forded through some snow banks,  got off the beaten path, and got some wonderful outdoor portraits as well!

I love love love the tones in this series.. the natural light in this home was simply stunning! I can not wait to head back in a few weeks.. well ok lets make it 6 or 7 for the newborn photography session!
