Lolli & Pop’s Family! North Battleford, Sk. Extended Family Session When the summer heat was at its peak, I was capturing these energetic kids at their extended family session! This can be a challenge, especially when they’re all in a younger age range! It’s important to be not only efficient, but also adaptable to keep…
It was a little bittersweet this year, I photographed the last high school graduation for this family! I’ve been lucky enough to have photographed all 3 of their children’s grads! (Hopefully more in the future, if secondary school happens to be their paths, and updating family photos as the years pass as well!!) This family…
Last summer, I drove out to do a grad session for my friend’s son. It was great to get to see them, as with covid, we hadn’t been able to see each other. We hit up the same general location as with his older sister’s grad session we did a couple years ago, but found…
Obviously, the school year ended way different than of us expected to, but the amount of compassion and dedication from the teachers and communities to try and celebrate this huge milestone for these graduates was so inspiring to watch. In my town, a caravan(parade??) was planned, where the graduates lined up down the main road,…
I watched the weather report like crazy that morning. Rain was all over the forecast, so I packed the umbrellas, and crossed my fingers for the best. We lucked out, and the worst we got during the whole session was a bit a of misty rain; and as I got into my car at the…
Spending an evening catching up with this wonderful couple to document and celebrate another milestone in their relationship was an abosolute joy! We had last each other when they had their maternity session this past winter before their little guy was born. I knew they had chemistry then, but at their engagement session, they totally…
Oh my goodess, grad sessions are so much fun! This girl, who is a photography lover as well, had such a fun energetic disposition during her session! We had a bit of a tighter timeline to make sure she arrived in time for her grad banquet, and we worked quickly to get some great images…
I took a road trip to visit one of my friends and her family for her youngest daughter’s first birthday back in April, and spend the weekend with them photographing a few different events, so watch the blog for a couple more posts featuring them! First up, was their family portrait session. We found a…
I met this family when I had a booth a local family expo this past spring. Through planning their session, and during their session, they were so incredibily sweet, and easy going, such an absolute pleasure!! The weather was still pretty cool out, and so we decided to head indoors – and they got to…
This whole family absolutely glowed and radiated happiness from the moment we met up at the location right until we finished, even despite the brisk winter weather we were having. Luckily, the weather warmed up a bit from the seriously cold snap we had, so we weren’t completely frozen. Taking a few warm up breaks…
If I could, I’d be shooting in this area ALL THE TIME!! I cannot get enough of the mountains in the horizon! (Must be the Prairie girl in me that just completely enamored) It was gorgeous September day, no wind, rain, or any other weather hiccups that we usually end up having when we have…
I met this family on a cool Sunday afternoon. As I drove to meet them at our location, the first snowflakes of the year were making a sneaky appearance. Hard to believe, as just a week after this session, we are back to highs of almost 20 degrees. I know it won’t last too much…
We have been having such beautiful fall weather so far this year, that has been so perfect for getting out and taking photos! This year clients have been quick to suggest locations that mean something to them and their families. This family asked if we could go to the dog park where they like to…
I was watching the weather so closely leading up to this session, as Brianna’s grad session was scheduled just a short while prior to her graduation ceremonies! It kept threatening rain, but as luck would have it, we had beautiful rain-free skies! (Should I jinx myself and note that I have been getting lucky with…
The best way to describe this family is FREAKING AWESOME! Dawn and I met in college, and have been great friends ever since. She’s my go-to person to call for advice for diaper rashes, and so many other things that I have asked her about in the unchartered territory that comes with parenthood! It was…
In May I made my annual trip to Alberta to celebrate my cousin’s little girl’s birthday. Only now, she’s not so little, she’s so tall, and just turned 9 years old! Every year while I’m visiting we make sure to go out and do a family session. This year we had beautifully hot summer weather…
What do you give a 17 year old girl for her birthday? These parents had a seriously brilliant plan to plan a dressy dinner date for their daughter and some of her closest friends. So, they started planning it out, and along the way, decided to throw in a couple suprises! They called up a…
I had the pleasure of working with the S Family a few weeks ago. This was the first really cold weekend since our unusually warm start to November, and that wind chilled us all to the bone! So what do you do when the wind is biting cold? You make your families hug and snuggle…
I had the pleasure of photographing this family again earlier this fall, and my goodness did those two kids ever grow fast!! So lively and ready to have a good time, they were off and running, and we just chased them around and got them to sit for a moment when they were ready. I…
This family had the winning bid on a gift voucher I had donated to a fundraiser for Dalmeny’s Spray and Play project, and I am so glad they did! Their session was so fun, very easy going, and they are SO photogenic! We had wonderfully warm weather that day (as we are currently experiencing our…
This couple decided to use their backyard for their engagement session, and it couldn’t have worked out better! The landscaping they have put into their yard is beautiful, the tree was just perfect with it’s little pink blossoms! Chatting with them and their family, it turns out the groom’s family is from the same small…
What a beautiful February day we had for this family’s session! We were all happy to have a milder temperature so no one was shivering without their coats. This little guy was such a firecracker, complete with making dinosaur sounds! I think he definitely will have a blast teaching the new baby all the things…
I love catching up with past clients! I shot this family’s beautiful wedding last September, and in the year since, they have added a new member! Welcome Miss L, she was so calm and sweet! Her big brother was pretty shy throughout the session, and stuck close to his Mom and Dad, and his Ironman…
This fall gave us some beautiful weather, and I couldn’t have loved it anymore! So lucky to have been able to work with so many great families this year, and this family is no exception! They were so great to hang out with for a while and create some fantastic new family portraits. They brought…
A couple of my favorite things: an adorable family, and gorgeous fall day! There were lots of smiles and love in this family. This little guy has such a big personality, and his sister isn’t far behind! I met Brittney at a Mom & Baby group, and have become friends while letting our kids play,…
I had the pleasure of meeting this family a short while ago, the boys were such good sports despite it being quite a chilly day! Thankfully the rain stayed away long enough for us to get outside and get some great images for them! We had so much fun incorporating his semi truck into their session,…
I love love love this family! I have been able to photograph them on a few occasions now, and it is always a blast! This time, they were celebrating their gorgeous little girl’s first birthday!! All the details were so well thought out for the party and the family photos, from the homemade cake and…
This couple brought their whole family (including their handsome dog) to take part in their engagement session! The mosquitoes were out in pretty full force that afternoon (but seriously, they have just been insane this year! Or, maybe I just forget how annoying they are after every winter!) This couple were great, so easy going…
Recently I was able to take a drive up and spend some time with my cousin and her family for her daughter’s 7th (seriously, can’t believe that she’s 7 already!!) birthday. I always love when I get to see her and her family! Wyatt and my daughter, Jenna, are only a couple months apart, so…
I LOVE family sessions, they are one of my absolute favorite things to photograph! This day was a cool day to take a newborn outside, so we quickly moved it indoors to a beautiful light-filled walkway. This family made it so easy as well, Arie was such a sweetheart, and little Alyssa was full of…
This session was such a fantastic surprise! This lovely couple (who just happen to be cousins of mine) asked if we could do a session with their dog, and of course I said YES! This day was during that minus a million cold snap, so we bundled all up (seriously, I think I was wearing…
This post is so overdue!! This session is from the beginning of August, and I’m only getting to it now, at the beginning of November…. I was able to work with this fantastic family again this summer (I did a cake smash for Macarthur’s First Birthday earlier this year) to capture new family photos. Luckily…
A while ago I had the chance to go out to a neighbor’s farm for a Grad session for Chris! Even the family pets were wanting to get in on the photos! Chris brought out his archery gear, and was that ever fun to work with! Best of luck Chris with everything you do in…
A little while ago I had the chance to do something totally new to me, a Cake Smash session! This was so much fun, little Macarthur didn’t go completely crazy on the cake, but we had so much fun, and got some great images! This whole family was just awesome to work with as well,…
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I had the opportunity to do a session for a family in our town. They were so easy going, and such a pleasure to work with! Their two little girls were so energetic, and so photogenic!! Even their dog wanted to get in on the session by coming in to cuddle…
Here’s another post featuring my little sister! She had asked if I could come out to her place and do a couple’s session for her and her boyfriend, Colton…. and then she wanted to throw her grad dress back on! So, we got a few more shots in with her dress, and why not?! It’s…
Ok, I am a little behind in getting this post up, but here it is! In June I photographed Alexander and his family before they headed out for his graduation ceremonies later that day. The plan had been to do the session in their yard, which was all lush and green…. but the morning of…
I don’t seem to make much time for personal holidays, but I always try my hardest to make the drive over to my cousin’s farm for her daughter’s birthday. It’s about a 10 hour drive, so we aren’t able to get together as much as we would like to. My cousin and I have always…
This gorgeous graduate is my little sister, all grown up! I drove out to the town Holly lives in, and we were able to go to a few different locations and get some really fun images to celebrate her finishing high school. We hadn’t been able to see each other too much with her writing…
