A couple weeks ago I got to hangout with one of my favorite Calgary small business owners, Bonnie from Bonnie Lang Fitness for her Personal Trainer Calgary Branding Photography session. She is one of the nicest, most genuine, crazy fit mommas I have ever met. I fully got to see her in her element, working out, being a mom to her sweet little girl Abigail as I shot her session. Those two jobs of hers have very much intertwined themselves together since she went back to training after Abi was born. Being a mom of a one year old herself she very much knows the mom hectic lifestyle and has… Keep Reading
Winter Elbow Falls Engagement Session | Cory & Becky | Calgary Engagement Photographer
I got to meet Becky years ago when I worked for WestJet. Being a flight attendant you were very often put with new crews every week so you got to meet a lot of amazing people. Becky and I flew together a couple times during the 8 years I worked as an FA. So when she reached out to me when her and Cory had gotten engaged I was so excited to catch up, meet the man of her dreams, but also have the honor of capturing their Jamaica wedding coming up this March! Eeeek! For their engagement session they wanted something completely different then their upcoming wedding day so… Keep Reading
The Importance of Crediting on Social Media | Calgary Wedding Photographer
A couple weeks ago I went through a situation where I had not one but two different people steal my images and use them as their own. The first was a website that used my images to drive traffic to their site and gain re-pins on their Pinterst. The other was a local photographer who stole my images and submitted them to a feature social media account for publish. In both circumstances, my images were taken without my permission, and neither of the images weren’t tagged or credited to me or my business. I think it is important to take the time to really talk about this and understand that… Keep Reading
Cochrane Farm Engagement Session | Tyler & Jenna | Cochrane Wedding Photographer
I love it when clients have specific location ideas for their engagement session. Tyler & Jenna are from Fort Mac and are getting married this summer at Willow Lane Barn in Olds. Last week they were in town finishing off the last bit of their wedding planning, so we also decided to sneak in their engagement photos as well. They were staying at Jenna’s best friends farm while they were in town and it ended up being the perfect location for their Cochrane Farm Engagement Session. There were so many amazing locations on this farm, from the amazing barn, to the horses to an old vintage truck. There is nothing… Keep Reading
Can Photographers & Videographers Get Along? | Calgary Wedding Photographer
It is becoming more and more common at weddings where there is not only photography coverage but also videography coverage. I have shot many weddings in the past couple years where along with Jason & myself there is a team of three or four vidographers. This makes for a lot of camera gear in your face, and a lot of people all all trying to get the same shot. I have shot weddings where the videographer stood behind the JP the entire wedding so every single shot had the videographers face (face palm). So today I thought I would write a blog post on tips for photographers to work a… Keep Reading
Calgary Family Newborn Photography | Baby Rory | Calgary Newborn Photographer
Return clients are always some of my favorite and the Park Family just happens to be one of those. Two years ago I got to meet them when I captured Tenley’s Calgary Family Newborn Photography session and last week I got to see them again as they welcomed a sweet baby boy Name Rory to the family. Rory was the cutest little man and his big sister and fur brother just loved slathering him with kisses. I loved being able to capture these memories for this amazing family. Congrats Parks Family! If your looking for a Newborn Photography and are in the Calgary, Cochrane, Canmore or Banff area get in touch… Keep Reading

Calgary In Home Maternity Session | Luke & Jessica | Calgary Maternity Photographer
I loved meeting Luke & Jessica at their Calgary In Home Maternity Session last week. They were absolutely adorable together and they had the perfectly styled home for their shoot. Even their sweet kitties got in on the session, which added an extra dose of cuteness. I also LOVED, LOVED, LOVE capturing some photos in their soon to be nursery. From Jessica’s childhood books on the wall to the very adorable reading tent, this kid definitely has the coolest room on the block! I can not wait to meet their sweet little babe due in April, and I know these two will make the most amazing parents! Congrats Luke &… Keep Reading
What Does A Groomsman Do in A Wedding? | Calgary Wedding Photographer
What Does a Groomsman Do in A Wedding? Being asked to serve as one of the groomsmen in your buddy’s wedding is a huge honor — but be warned that it’s also a big undertaking. The list of groomsmen duties, while not nearly as long as that of the best man, there are few responsibilities on a groomsman’s to-do list that can be easily forgotten. So what exactly are the groomsmen duties? Well I am going to get down to the nitty gritty of the groomsmen duties below. Purchase or rent wedding attire. Just like the bridesmaids, groomsmen are in charge of purchasing and tailoring their wedding attire. Whether you… Keep Reading
