I first met Chas & Liz 4 years ago when I had the honor of capturing Liz’s sisters wedding day. The moment I met this family I secretly wanted to be apart of it? Growing up with only a brother, so it sounded so fun to be apart of a family with four girls! Since then I have kept in touch with Sara-Jane & Jesse so when I found out Liz was engaged to her long time boyfriend Chas I was keeping my fingers and toes crossed they would ask me to capture their day too! They did, and on July 28th, 2018 Chas and Liz tied the knot in… Keep Reading

When I think about summer lemonade is defiantly one thing that comes to mind instantly. There is nothing better then some freshly squeezed lemonade on a hot day!

Drumheller Engagement Photography | Marc & Kristine | Calgary Engagement Photographer
A couple weeks ago I got the pleasure of heading out to Kristine’s grandparents property just outside of Drumheller for her and Marc’s Drumheller Engagement Photography session. This piece of property has been a big part of Kristine’s childhood so she really wanted to have her session there. This whole session was like something out of a Nicholas Spark novel. Kristine’s dad had restored this cherry red ford truck when they were kids so it was so fun to use it as park of their session. I am kinda secretly hoping it makes and appearance in their wedding photos too! Then when I was scouting around the property I saw… Keep Reading

Calgary Park First Birthday Cake Smash | Maddison is ONE | Calgary Cake Smash Photographer
Currently hiding from the heat outside and editing cute sessions like this one from Maddison’s first birthday Cake smash session. I mean… if this doesn’t turn your heart into a puddle of goo I am not sure what will! We met early on Saturday morning for her Calgary Park First Birthday Cake Smash, just as the sun started to peak through the trees which made for that golden glow and the perfect backdrop for their session. Maddison’s mom asked for a purple and silver theme for her session and when it all came together it might have been one of my favorite set ups to date. I also absolutely LOVED… Keep Reading
Quarry Lake Extended Family Photography Session | Canmore Family Photographer
40 years of marriage, 5 kids, 8 grandkids and a lifetime of love is what I got to capture last week for their Quarry Lake Extended Family Photography Session. I have to admit I absolutely adore this family! Growing up my parents and Dale & Edith were friends so we got to see a lot of this family. We were also close in age so it made for some fun hangouts, and of course lots of us getting into trouble. Then fast forwards a couple years and both my brother and I worked as lifeguards along side the oldest two girls. Now as of just this month all 5 M… Keep Reading
Unique Wedding Venue Ideas – Calgary Wedding Photographer
One of the biggest challenges Brides & Grooms face is finding the perfect wedding venue. There are so many hotels, conferences centres, and golf course that have the big budgets to advertise in the bridal fairs and wedding magazines for your area. That’s awesome and I have shot many weddings in these venues and they were absolutely stunning. That doesn’t mean that you HAVE to book your wedding at one of these locations. There are so many other smaller, unique spaces where you can hold a wedding. You just have to look outside the box. Look into your favourite restaurants. A lot of them are happy to close the doors… Keep Reading

The Gathered Farm Wedding | Alex & Lee | Calgary Wedding Photographer
Whats more perfect then a summer farm wedding??? Nothing and that is why I have been so looking forwards to Lee & Alex’s The Gathered Farm wedding on July 7th, 2018! Their day was absolutely stunning. They planned a first look prior to their ceremony at the school just across the street from their farm ceremony site. The way Lee looked at Alex when he saw her for the first time was, was sheer love, joy and excitement. Have I mentioned how much I love first looks?
