As a mom I understand the stress of planning out family photos, but I want to remind you that capturing the ‘imperfections’ and chaos that sometimes is our reality makes for the most authentic and heartwarming images. It’s ok if the Dog finds a mud puddle right before, it’s ok if your little ones want to run around and play, or that your yard has toys all over - this is your life, and one day you will miss every part of that chaos. Also, how adorable is this family !!

I feel extremely honoured that Erin and Tony asked me to photograph their intimate wedding here in Alberta - with Travel restrictions, it wasn't quite the Hawaiian setting they originally planned on, they did make the most of it and it turned out so beautifully. So many beautiful details were thought out, the stunning one of a kind wedding dress, a ceremony and reception surrounded by rare and precious stones and crystals, a handsome puppy or two, gorgeous family and friends - it was a dream to capture! Here are a few of my favourites from their day...
