"Be bold enough to use your voice,
brave enough to listen to your heart,
​and strong enough to live the life you’ve always imagined."

     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!!     

​"Always know
how valuable, 
and uniquely
BEAUTIFUL
You are..."

      I have been exploring studio lighting lately and I couldn't be more proud to showcase my recent shoot of my beautiful friend Sarah.  The SAIT campus in Calgary has always been one of my favourite locations to shoot at as it offers such a dynamic but modern feel.  So it was only suiting that Sarah and I would head over to the parkade to play with some explosive studio lighting.   She has been a dancer all of her life so we thought it would be fun to capture some poses on the stairwell as well as catch some professional headshots. I am so thrilled with how her images turned out...did I mention that she is an absolute beauty inside and out! How lucky am I to get to strengthen my creative talent as well as make people feel good about themselves?! 

     How lucky am I to get to capture photos of not only stunning people but most importantly successful and hard working females!!  Billie is a full time Mom, Wife and an Arbonne Independent Consultant!  If you are in search of a new career or avenue to earn an additional income you can contact Billie to explore what Arbonne can do for you at http://www.arbonne.com/pws/billieheggie/tabs/about-me.aspx   

"I was told I was dangerous...
I asked why?
They said, "because you don't
need anyone."
That's when I smiled.."
