I photograph my sweet friend Kirstie and her family every year, and it’s always a session I look forward to. We spend weeks texting and chatting, sending outfits and planning the location and coming up with ideas. I shot a mix of film and digital, on her sister-in-law’s acreage. We played with the animals and […]

Lydia and Tim got married on a somewhat overcast, somewhat rainy, and completely perfect September day. The ceremony took place at St. Michael’s Catholic church in Leduc, Alberta. The beautiful little church sits right next to Telford Lake, making their wedding feel like something out of a romance movie. When I think back on their […]

Darby and I have been mutual followers for years… I remember seeing her post about her daughter’s home birth and cheering her on, even though she had no idea who I was. Over the past few years we’ve exchanged messages and tried to make plans to meet up. While the initial ones fell through, we […]

I’ve known Nora’s family for most of my life. When she first reached out to me to inquire about photographing her wedding at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Calgary… I felt an unexpected wave of emotion. I remember when Nora was born.

Last spring, I saw THIS […]

My third labour and birth at home in Okotoks was, objectively, my shortest and best one. I can say that now, looking back, but during the process it felt harder than my second one. I attribute that feeling to being in a more negative headspace. Despite my bad attitude, it was the answer to all […]

After spending a month and a half sick in bed, I had plenty of time to think of all kinds of things; my upcoming workload (that I PRAYED I’d be healthy for), the growing amount of chores to do before baby came, the day to day abilities I’d previously taken for granted… and my own […]

Ash is an incredibly talented lifestyle & branding photographer in Cochrane. It’s always a bit intimidating, photographing another photographer…but also SUCH a compliment. Someone who is incredibly talented, wants ME to capture their family??? Come on. What an honour. Meeting her and her family was such a highlight of my fall season. They drove all […]

Rachel reached out to inquire about doing an indoor maternity session here in Okotoks, which I’d actually never done before! We set up a phone call and she shared some of her ideas and vision, and immediately I got excited. Why don’t more people do this??? Their session was SO fun; relaxed, casual, and personal. […]
