This past Saturday our family joined together to give Emery a blessing. The spirit filled our home and our hearts as we celebrated our baby, our Emery. I couldn’t have asked for a better day and to top it off the pink lemonade cake turned out just how I wanted! Delicious!
- OK...STUNNING!
- such a fun and special day! and the cake was so delicious!
- So beautiful! Her dress is darling! We'll be blessing our little girl in September :)
- I am so in love with all your pictures, you place looks great your kids are beautiful and you and Nat are stunning! Can't wait to see you next sunday! xo, wish we could have been there!!
- Such a beautiful baby....lovely family (well, gorgeous). The images are stunning!
- What an amazing day, you did such a wonderful job decorating the place! So elegant, what a special day for all of us, I'm glad most of the family could be there to share it. I love all the little detail shots too!
- Oh it all just looks so lovely!!! Great shots. Especially love those family shots are the bottom (and did you make all that yummy food too??) PS I'm wondering how much you charge for family pictures as I'm wanting to get them done again some time soon.
- these could go straight into a magazine! Every detail is amazing. I"m so happy for you guys!
- Thank you everyone!! Rhonda - yes, I made everything!! and I will send you an email about those family photos!
- It looks like an amazing day! You are turning into quite the baker! As always the photos are gorgeous- it helps that Emery is so adorable!
- So awesome Maria! Emery looks beautiful (obviously) as does your whole family! AND your details are amazing. I'm going to hound you for the pink lemonade cake recipe, it looks divine!
- Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome, and again awesome! Love the cake!
- I mean really, you guys are just too adorable. :) Congrats!
I love you. I love your coos. I love your cries. I love the way you smile back. I love your spit bubbles. I love the way you bat your eyes and the way you yawn and stretch. I love your eyes, your little toes, your hands and your baby rolls. I love every part of you. Next week, every part of you will be just a little bit bigger, and then the next week after that… and then the next month… but I will document it and I will remember.
- She looks so much like Aidan at this age! Love the collage you created!
- what an angel. She is soooo sweet. Love these ;)
- Beautiful. What you wrote and the pictures.
- So sweet babe! I love it and what you wrote means so much. I love you!
- She is absolutely 100% perfect in every way :)
One day a man named Brandon bought a car. A 1989 Plymouth Horizon to be exact. Over a period of 3 years he transformed and modified it in every way possible. Every bit of work he did himself, from hand building the transmission and suspension to fiber-glassing the fenders and painting it. As you can imagine, finding parts for a vehicle such as this was hard to come by so most of the parts under the hood were fabricated by hand. His hands. This is his car. Or should I say this was his car.
Last week, Brandon said goodbye to something he was passionate about, but before he did we captured these photos…
- So fun!! And leave it to you to make me want to sell a car just so I can have you capture it with your talent...only you Maria!!! xoxo
- amazing maria!! This is so cool. Never seen that done before :)
- these are amazing! thank you for helping me let go of my car in such a memorable way! my kids some day will scold me for selling it when they look at these.
- These photo's really captured the emotional attachment and sad goodbye. They made me cry.
- Awesome shoot! I'm not Brandon's kid but I'll be the first to scold him! Sweet car and cool shots. Great location too!
- P.S. I love how you introduced the shoot too, adds so much more!
- So funny and good-probably the closest and most willing he'll ever come to a glamour shoot :) Love the photos!
- Very cool! Such a great idea! Sorry you had to sell your car! At least you'll have these great shots to help you remember!
- If you think this is great you should see all the models he built when he was a kid. Talented kid that I love....Grandma
This past weekend we had all the cousins in town. It was so cute to watch them play and laugh with each other, and run and chase each other, and make silly faces together and tell jokes to each other. The kind of jokes that really don’t make any sense but are still funny to them regardless. Even though they do not get together often, I hope the times that they do are cherished and remembered.
I love each and every one of you so much and can’t wait to watch you grow. - Aunt Maria
- Oh they are so cute! Such a fun time- i love it when the cousins can all get together! Great pictures Maria! I love them all!
- LOVE it!!! What a cute group of cousins!
- Maria - what great pictures of the grandchildren. They are so cute. I wonder who it was that was making them smile so much???? You must have some great assistant with some really different ideas to make them smile???
- I LOVE this!! They are so unbelievably beautiful! I hope the Langs have more. Emery, the newest addition of course is adorable!
- the little one in the vest and cuffed jeans is SO FLIPPIN' CUTE! love em all!
- so adorable!! As much as you love these now, I am sure they will be even more treasured years from now. Nothing like family. Each one of those kids are so, so cute!
We have been getting some warm, beautiful weather these past few weeks in Calgary and when I saw the forecast indicating rain for Saturday I was a little giddy with excitement! I was even more excited when Amber and John embraced it as well. When I photographed their engagement session I knew photographing their wedding day would be something magical. Her dress, his suit, her killer shoes, the peacock feathers in the bridesmaid’s hair and the ones tucked in the boutonnieres, the rustic charm of the reception… everything was put together so perfectly.
Thank you Amber and John for having me capture your day, you truly are some of the most genuine, real, and humble people I have ever met and I felt so lucky to witness your love and to be there in your celebrations.
Also, a special thanks to my dear friend Julie for assisting me on the day and to my amazing husband for being my baby courier

Today, Aidan:
Woke me up by tapping on my shoulder and whispered “Good morning princess.”
Insisted on mixing Cheerios, Special K and Froot Loops in his breakfast bowl.
Put his pants on backwards, went back in his room to fix the problem and came back with his pants on… backwards.
Played swords with an invisible ninja.
Had a very in depth conversation with a complete stranger about when, how and why to use bug spray.
Called me beautiful.
Called Emery beautiful.
Saw an airplane for the hundredth time and still looked at it amazed and in awe.
Stopped in the middle of an intense sword fight to kiss and admire his sister.
Kissed me goodnight.
- Oh Maria. Your talent astounds me.
- he is so sweet Maria!!! and I really love his jean :)
- I am so glad that you are able/capable of appreciating the wonderful moments that go along with being a parent. Too many people want to be a parent, but don't know how to enjoy parenting. You have 2 very lucky children!!
- these rule! What a cute kid. Love every image :)
- oh love them!!!! What a list! :)
- Aidan is the child of people's dreams! how cute!!
- Oh he is so cute! Especially how much he loves Emery. I got a kick out of the list- i can totally hear him saying all that.
- I'm speechless! So darling, Maria!
I have been wanting and needing to do this for awhile now and I if you can believe it, I actually have more free time now then I did while I was pregnant!
So here it is, the new Maria Lang Photography
I will admit it is always nerve wracking to throw new stuff out there, and I am definitely feeling the nerves. Please indulge me 
- I love it - the music, the layout, everything!!
- It looks AMAZING!! Can't wait to go through it all!!
