Photo credit: Red Bloom Photography Happy Thursday friends! Typically I save my blogging for clients sneak peeks or wedding & shoot day resources but I thought it would be fun to do a super personal blog post about 10 Things You Didn’t Know About ME! I’m not sure if this is going to be informative or just straight up embarrassing for me. Read on to find out! Garage sales are my jam! Seriously you can find me on any given Saturday when I’m not shooting, at a garage sale. I actually have started referring to them as “Game Day!” to my friends and family. I am not sure if its the… 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
Calgary In Home Family Session | Calgary At Home Family Sessions
I get asked all the time to capture family memories, but one thing that I absolutely LOVE is capturing in home family memories! This is exactly what I had the opportunity to do for Rob & Nevy at their Calgary In Home Family Session. Their house was beyond stunning and completely light drenched which was a photographer dream! They also had three of the most adorable kiddos ever. I loved how they also got slightly dressed up for their session. In home family photos doesn’t mean it has to be casual. Then right at th end of the session just as the sun was setting we snuck out and captured… Keep Reading

SAIT Extended Family Photos | The Sutcliffes | Calgary Family Photographer
On a very rainy, very cold Saturday I met the Sutcliffe family for their SAIT Extended Family Photos session. We had originally planned for an outdoor session for their session but these guys were troopers and instead of postponing their shoot they embraced the rain and we switched locations to this beautiful modern space. This family was so much fun to work with. They were so full of laughs, smiles and never once let the rain or switch of location effect them! Rory also was the happiest little kiddo the entire shoot. He ran around chasing his family, laughing and smiling and just being a cutie! Thanks so much to the… Keep Reading

Pearce Estate Park Spring Family Session | Nora is ONE! | Calgary Family Photographer
This past weekend was chalked full of family fun! I started it off meeting Nora and her beautiful family to help celebrate her very first birthday! She was so stinking adorable with her red hair and bright blue eyes. We started off her session with some family photos and even her big fur brother Therman got in on the fun. Then it was onto the messiness. I love when spring and summer roll around and we are able to do these types of sessions outside! She wasn’t even shy when it came to the cake. She jumped right in and started eating all the cake she could. She even contemplated… Keep Reading
