You are a super mom. Between running your own business, a busy blended family, activities, professional sports, saving the world, volunteering - who has time to think about corralling everyone & documenting the beautiful chaos that is your life?
You love your kids more than life itself. They make you laugh, they make you cry, they drive you crazy and you wouldn’t have it any other way. You are however your own person too outside of your children and family unit. You have dreams, ambitions and you are mighty exceptional and juggling it all.
You know that time is our greatest luxury and seemingly there is never enough of it. You want to preserve the constantly moving pieces, their quirky laugh, their phase of not wanting to smile, their unique dynamics and all the tiny in-betweens. You know what you want, you seek excellence, you want creative, seamless, fuss free execution. You love your home and want your portraits to be a natural extension of that home not just something tucked in a drawer or revisited every few years on a screen.
When you finally get around to organizing and having that family session - that original vision of their big beautiful faces looking down from the walls each day, timeless and expressive ….you know it was all worth it, you know that every day is worth it!
I have had the honour of photographing @katiephipps several times over the years & working on various projects. For those that know my love of photographing children, photographing her family was a dream come true. Beyond that I truly do love my clients like my own family. They trust me and my vision, they respect my process and opinion, they collaborate and engage in inspiring ways but above all they VALUE this craft and all the understated yet priceless beauty and feeling it carries.
When was the last time you documented your family?

A few years ago I read an article that said how we only have 18 summers with our kids. For some reason that perspective really stuck with me since.
I have tried to cherish every summer and spend as much time as possible with them while juggling work, the house and the rest. Self-employment has made me sacrifice a lot of things, one of such being the inability to go home to Europe more frequently as we used to. But I have tried to enjoy whatever we do have, from the freedom and ability to be with them each day; 9 pm walks in the middle of the week, staying out til 1am at the Stampede, pools, special exhibits and festivals around the city, river rafting, markets and ice cream, discovering new places, libraries and crafts, games and treats. Despite the heat and the smoke we had in July, we used every day to our fullest.
They made you laugh. They made you cry. They drove you crazy. They made you proud. You learn from them and alongside them. I love photographing youth and celebrating them for the individuals they are.
Our highschool grad sessions are a highly collaborative and personalized experience that celebrates the journey and all the lessons learned along the way. It's a way to acknowledge your child's accomplishments & allow them to self express. See your children in a fresh and dynamic way you haven't before. It's an experience that's all about them. Conveying their personality, character, their interests & creating modern images they will actually love - not just as a token for their parents, but something they will be proud to own for themselves too.
Our grad photo sessions are in full swing, choose from a custom session that's all about you or a mini session if you are looking for more practicality and budget friendly options

Making Changes Association requires no introduction - since 1981 this organization has been the.cornerstone of Calgary's "women helping women" network, collaborating with over 100 referral partners spanning various sectors like immigration services, education, business and health. They believe in restoring confidence and igniting hope through various programs designed to help women going life transitions, overcome barriers and empowering them to thrive in their communities.
As a photographer one of my core business values is meaningful contribution & I lead with the belief of photography with purpose. I strive to give back to the community & various initiatives I believe in each year. This past Friday I donated my services to Making Changes Women in Technology Program by creating professional images for the recent program graduates. By providing them with an image that they can use as they transition into the next chapter of their lives, I have hopefully added another tool into their kit to help them feel confidant and ready to take the next steps.
It was my pleasure meeting all of the women as well as the tireless team of Making Changes who worked with me to make all the arrangements, coordination and who helped tremendously in executing this initiative.
