Welcome TO THE

Summer is quickly approaching and with that beautiful weather comes a perfect opportunity to get those family photos that you’ve been wanting! With a busy summer ahead of me I thought I would offer up some special summer sessions on certain dates! So how does this work? What’s included? FAQ’s I’d like to book a […]

This year’s Mother’s Day Mini Sessions went so well! Taking place at Venue 308 and with the beautiful florals from Fall For Florals I loved how it all turned out. And I loved being able to provide these deserving Moms with photos of themselves WITH their children! I am doing some Father’s Day Mini sessions […]

Making pizzas, throwing dough, popping corks, wearing hats. My friend Tully has an amazing joie de vivre I’ve always admired. Always up for an adventure, loves costume parties (or as she calls them, ‘fancy dress’), you walk into her home and it’s always full of treasures and beautiful artwork she has created or curated. A […]

Sometimes family photos get a bad rap. It’s stressful to prepare, you have to convince some family members to participate and then getting everyone dressed on top of that! But what if family photos were something to look forward to every year? What if we changed our mindset and made family photos a special tradition […]

New wall design ideas for my clients! I see it so much. Families get professional photos taken, invest the time and money and then the photos sit on their phone or hard drive. I know many people WANT to print their photos but to a lot of you it’s overwhelming to choose which photos or […]

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: […]

Love this adorable family! I was honoured to be asked to photograph their family again for their newest addition. I loved that the older girls joined in and took photos with me too! Watching families grow is so special and seeing a newborn I photographed now as a big sister is so fun!

Charge What You’re Worth I’ll never apologize for my prices. I’m worth it. That may sound blunt but it’s true. I did not start last week, I’m not your neighbour with a hobby, this has been my profession for 14 years and I’m good at it. I’ve brought in well over 1 million in sales […]
