Welcome TO THE

I was at yoga last night and my teacher was talking about mental health as it was Bell’s Let’s Talk Day. She was saying how really simple things can make someone feel worthy – like they matter. She recounted a story about it being her nephew’s 9th birthday. She Facetime’d him and told him she […]

A new year and with that I’m definitely feeling the need to make changes. They’re coming fast and furious. I love to make changes – my problem is sticking with them. I know I’m not alone in this. I picked up a great book at the library yesterday “Better Than Before” by Gretchen Rubin. (Sidenote, […]

Did you know if you book a newborn session with me you can book your six month up to 1 year photos at a discounted rate of only $500? Yep! I love seeing these babies grow up! See a few of my favourites from this session with Baby C below 🙂 And to see this […]

A summer evening at Fish Creek Park spent with two awesome families and Grandma and Grandpa. Extended family sessions are a such a great gift idea for Grandparents AND if two families purchase it you save money…Bonus!

I am now booking Spring sessions! With Spring in Calgary being somewhat unpredictable we can plan an outdoor session or indoor. As you’ll see from my recent sessions on the blog, an indoor session can still provide us with lot of light, space and opportunity for different looks! I recently did a session with a […]

What’s happening in this session? A whole lot of everyday life. Building, cuddling, jumping, running, colouring, snacking, hiding, tickling. With toddler twins I know the session needs to be led by them. Not making them sit in a certain position or asking them to look at me. I take their cues and just let them […]

I am loving these Bedhead Sessions! Short, sweet but with all the fun and love of a regular session. I think with removing the stress of getting dressed and going somewhere, the kids can really be themselves for me and we just play! There’s only a few weeks left if you want to book your […]

10 years ago I decided I would be a photographer.â € â € No experience. I just thought ‘I think I’d be good at this’ – blind confidence – I kept on.â € â € I remember telling people and I could see the skepticism in their eyes – I kept on.â € â € I taught myself how to be […]
