It’s so fun to see this family year after year and watching the kids grow up! We decided to do this year’s photos in Calgary’s East Village neighbourhood. This is such a great spot for family photos especially with older kids. Lots to see, lots to do and some really interesting backdrops! If you are […]

The hair! I love it! This little guy was such a treat to photograph! Along with his Mom and Dad and Uncles and Grandparents. He is truly loved. Canmore was the most beautiful backdrop for these family photos too. We only had to walk 5 minutes from their home to come upon the most amazing […]
