your children, 
but what you have taught
them to do for themselves, 
that will make them
successful human beings!"

     Graham and Kara-Lee are some of my most loyal and supportive clients that I have had since starting my photography business five years ago!  I am so grateful for their continued bookings from maternity, to newborn to family sessions with both of their sons.  Not only is it neat for me to witness their family grow each year but also to watch my photography style change and improve with more experience in the field!  Take a look at their full session below and leave a comment if you would like!

     Adam and Hayley were the lucky winners of my FREE session giveaway that I promoted a few months ago!  Together with their two gorgeous daughters they travelled to Cochrane last week to get their photos taken at The RancheHouse.  I absolutely love this location because it allows me to shoot family sessions in the middle of the day out of the bright sun.. which is ideal for families and working around nap schedules.
      The time I spent with Adam, Hayley and their two girls was nothing short of amazing!  All four of them were so easy going and relaxed while I ran around in my glory snapping photos.  I love shoots like that... where I get to be creative while capturing a family in their element and the true love they have for one another effortlessly pours out into my images...
       Make sure to scroll on down and take a look at their entire session... Cheers!    

"From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home."

     Anyone who knows Kristie and Tyler will tell you that they are one of the most down to earth, fun loving and laid back couples they know!  When the two of them are together they exemplify what true love really is!  Kristie has such a calm demeanour about her with such class and beauty.  She is beyond beautiful inside and out.  Tyler is a hard working guy that can make anyone laugh at the drop of a hat.

     I am always thrilled when I land upon couples like Kristie and Tyler that make my "job" so enjoyable and fulfilling!  I am beyond BLESSED that they asked me to not only capture their engagement photos but also their upcoming WEDDING this June in Canmore, Ab!!  Every time I picture their wedding I get extremely giddy that they chose ME to photograph every moment and detail of their special day!

     For their engagement session we met at the Cochrane Ranchehouse where we navigated through the trees, walking paths, and bridges while sharing some laughs and photos!  One of my favourite parts of the shoot was catching the sunset before it went down and watching Kristie and Tyler sealing off the night with a kiss!

​Kyle and Jill have been some of my longest and most loyal clients since 2013.  They have hired me for both their newborn babies photoshoots as well as taking their family photos every year.  They trusted me when I was just starting out with not much education or experience in photography and I could not be more appreciative of their support of my business over the years!  For their latest session we shot their photos right in Hanna, Alberta by the dam just south of town.  I always love scouting out new locations that are often missed by the common eye and seeing the beauty that unfolds after the shoot.  I couldn't be more happy with how this session turned out!  Be sure to leave a comment or a "like" if you enjoy the images of this gorgeous family!  Cheers to Fall!! 

"HOME
is my happy place..."

     Last weekend I travelled to Hanna, Ab to shoot a handful of Fall Mini Sessions.  Kevin, Lindsay and their adorable son Kuper were my first session of the weekend and I could not be happier with how their images turned out.  Kevin and Lindsay have been together for over TEN years and have such an intimate connection that it radiates through when you photograph them.  So adding their 6 month old son to the mix was the perfect equation to creating such beautiful photos!  In my experience of photographing children I have never met such a SMILEY boy as Kuper!  He smiled from the moment Lindsay took him out of his car seat to the last shot we took!  You could say I fell in love with him!!

     A few weeks ago I photographed Troy's Graduation Portraits at Prairie Oasis outside of Hanna, Alberta.  The moment I met Troy I could sense she was such a genuine, intelligent and mature young lady.  She is headed off to College in a few weeks to study Elementary Education!  Being a fellow teacher myself I couldn't stop telling her how much she will love the program and her new "life" at College!!  I know Troy will accomplish all of her dreams and goals and meet some pretty amazing people along the way.  P.S . If I could go back and graduate high school again I would be stealing her dress....it is absolutely stunning!!
