Welcome TO THE

We just returned from Hawaii and I wanted to share my tips on how we reduced our spending as Hawaii is VERY expensive. Kevin and I are pretty frugal but that’s how we afford to travel quite a bit. We choose carefully where to spend our money and sacrifice some small things in order to […]

The most obvious reason is no need to worry about the weather! We know in Calgary this is always a thing. Perfect weather at 10am, awful weather at 2pm. Rain, wind, snow – none of this matters when you choose to do your photos inside! You get to wear whatever you want! This goes back […]

When I held my contest on Instagram last week and asked everyone to tell me why family photos were important to them I was blown away by the response. I just loved seeing everyone’s responses and it was such a good reminder of why I do this. I noticed 3 common themes in the responses: […]

People always ask when the best time to take newborn photos is and the answer I always say is when you feel best. Typically it’s in the first few weeks but sometimes for various reasons it can take longer than that for Mom and Dad (or baby!) to feel ready for photos. This baby isn’t […]

Meet my friend Amanda Maglis-Long! A Calgary artist that creates stunning paintings of our Alberta and BC landscapes. Mandy wanted some updated headshots to use for her website and social media and I was happy to oblige. I love that we were able to incorporate some of her artwork amongst the photos! Please check out […]
