So glad to have you visit my home away from home. Here you will get a chance to see my style of photography as well as new products and events. I always post sneak peeks from recent sessions so check back often to see what I have been up to.
If you are interested in booking a session or just want a bit more information please feel free to contact me, I would be happy to here from you. Looking for something specific? Just click the categories tab on the top menu to take you there.
As well, feel free to right click on any image on the blog to save the image and use it on your facebook, myspace or your own blog! Please do not alter the photos in any way.
This old-timer was a whopping 4 weeks old. He was more than happy to bend and cuddle though.
I of course have to mention that this was hands down the most “musical” baby I have ever photographed.
Made dad very proud 
I also can’t resist posting an out take from the session. Any ideas for a title for this one?
This is likely my last session post for 2009….sniff sniff. Stay tuned early in January though as there is a New Years Eve baby due.
This little lady was the cousin of a newborn I had the pleasure of meeting last year.
I was also lucky enough to capture a new image of the now one year old Cuz.
Still as cute as ever
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 (or family-to-be’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 — $1000 worth, to be exact. Whether it’s canvas or albums, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over, it’s in your power to give them the artwork 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, people?
I have teamed up with a group of 4 other Winnipeg photographers for this amazing giveaway. All entries received will be pooled together and the 5 most deserving nominees will receive their session with one of these talented women, chosen at random.

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 Winnipeg. 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.
* Contest opens December 1st
* You must e-mail me the full story by Dec 20th : givingisawesome@mts.net
* Prizes not redeemable for cash nor are they transferrable
*Sessions must be booked prior to August 2010
The winner will be announced on Christmas Day — get nominating! 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,
Lana Boulanger - Artsy Fartsy Photography
you are a teeny bit awesome, aren’t you? 
Wow Lee-Ann, you’re fast!
Love your co. name btw
This is awesome. You rock, Lana.
Sounds amazing! As soon as I read this, I thought of a special family, who would be very deserving of a wonderful gift like this.
Get to writin’ Broni
hi, Lana! I have been mulling this around for a while, who did you get started with this project? Would you be able to direct me to more information? Thanx! I think I want to get the ball rolling around here!
The winner is still in the process of being contacted. I will update with more details once they accept!
WHO WON THE CONTEST??? WILL THERE STORY BE POSTED??
I literally just received contact information and will be contacting the Keith M family. Any details about their story to be shared will be 100% up to them. I can say though that I am hoping this gift of family photography will give them renewed hope and allow them to really celebrate what is most important to them. Hopefully more specifics will follow…
These 2 brand new girls were the tiniest I have ever photographed. You would never know it though
from how big and strong they look! Just love getting mynewborn baby fix.
Well the last couple of months have a been a wonderful whirlwind
of family, newborn and maternity sessions. Just now am I able to take a deep breath.
I will have to admit though that when things get that busy, the blog is definitely the first to be put on hold.
But I am back with a beautiful couple that is expecting their first baby on New Year’s Eve.
I can’t wait to do the “after” shot of the one below…
oh my gosh - what a beautiful couple! Great job!!
I love the light on the image in the right! SO NICE!!!
beautiful photos, lana! i just love the light on the one on the right too!
This post is just in time to still qualify as a sneak peek….whew! My girl “Guile” was very patient
and didn’t email once to ask when it was coming although I’m sure she was close!
Thanks for being so patient, your gallery is coming soon….
I knew from seeing Miss M from last year that there may be some clothing changes involved
and she didn’t disappoint. Although her wardrobe was outshone by her sweet nature……just look!
Cute family that I have had the pleasure of photographing a couple of times already.
Since I have posted shots of their 4 adorable tots before, I thought I would give a shout out to the two that started it all.
(Pretty sure I didn’t look as cute as her prior to having one child, let alone 4!!)
That first shot with all the wrinkly skin folds makes my heart ache! SO SWEET!!
