Wow. It's been almost exactly 1 year to the date that I have posted on Facebook through this account. I never imagined when I began my photography journey, that somewhere it might have an ending. And although I have been quiet on here for the last year, as I've explored other options, I have truly missed all of my clients and the work that I have loved so dearly. Where have I been, you may be wondering.

Well, as my family has grown, I have found it harder and harder to spend time away from my own kids to spend time with other families instead. I have found it harder and harder to justify a Saturday away in the summer for a wedding, when my own kids are running through the sprinkler, learning how to play baseball, and all of the other joys that raising two very spirited boys brings.

So, I've been working online with different brands behind the scenes to help them grow their social media presence, in a more Monday to Friday type of gig. I've kept a very small number of clients, as I've photographed your families since the beginning, and truly you feel like family to me now. But I have taken on no new clients, no new weddings, & no videography. It's been strange to say the least, but it was the right move for this season of my life.

It wasn't something I really announced, and it may not be something that will last forever as the seasons of my life change, and the needs of my family change too. But today I just wanted to extend a true and honest thank you to everyone who has ever entrusted me to capture a moment in your life worth remembering: a wedding, a family event, a milestone, a birth, and all of the other reasons you sought my services.

I do miss you all, and I think about you, especially when I take on a small photography project (like the photos of the Gibsons who I photographed a few weeks ago that I am sharing here). I hope in the future I'll get to photograph you and your families again, and I look forward to that day, whenever it may be! 🥰

Note to myself: You don't need to buy a horse, you don't need to buy a horse, you don't need to buy a horse. I will repeat this over and over again because every time I see these photos, I need the reminder. My, this was such a lovely session, I'm still dreaming about it!

15/10/2022

Pinch me, I must be dreaming. I have worked so hard on my craft this year: to create photographs that make you feel something when you see them, to go back to the roots of why I love photography to begin with. This session was the embodiment of that for me.

Cara Jean and family, thank you all so much for allowing me in to capture these breathtaking moments in your family's life, I will truly never forget this incredible session and the day we made magic together!

14/10/2022

Sometimes I like to pretend my clients are in a painting, and create photographs that feel like living art. This was one of my favourite sessions of all time because I feel like I did just that.

P.S. If you have horses, call me! I want horses in all my sessions now 😂

Amanda & Cass had such a FUN idea for their engagement photos. They saw another couple drinking beers and celebrating their engagement session on a Tik Tok video, and said, "hey we love a good time, and how fun would it be to bring some beers to the party."

12 years as a photographer friends, so not much surprises me, but when Cass rolled up with a backpack with a 6-pack I was like, "this couple is going to be something else!" They did not disappoint. A great time was had ALL around! Amanda & Cass your wedding is going to be an absolute BLAST of a day, & I can't wait to capture those memories for you!!

Extended family sessions had my heart this summer. After covid, my view of family life has changed radically, as I'm sure a lot of other people's have too. Seeing family's be able to get together and spend time with one another honestly brings tears to my eyes. Knowing what we all went through to get to a point where we could just be around each other is astonishing and almost unbelievable, all at the same time.

Let alone this family, who has one son here, a daughter in Northern Alberta, and another all the way over in Australia. This session was a true celebration of what family love means, that it knows no borders, no distance, and no end. ❤️

11/10/2022

Just a little more of this engagement bliss, because who doesn't want to remember how good THIS feeling is? Pre-wedding, planning the day of your dreams, imagining your lives together, holding hands because they're free to hold and not busy chasing after littles, just being in the moment with each other. I LOVE engagement photos ❤️

10/10/2022

There is nothing like the intimacy that an engagement brings. The dawn of two lives being spun into one, forever transformed by love and trust and respect and all the foundational blocks for a beautiful marriage. I can feel the essence of that in these portraits, like a slow, steady heartbeat, silent yet strong, your love will carry you through.

Megan and Steven, I can't wait for your wedding next year (on my own anniversary!), to watch your two souls unite as one. Congratulations you two!

I am SO proud to say that this is my beautiful sister-in-law who is carrying my handsome nephew Ren in that gorgeous belly! I snuck her away from her hubby and kiddos for an evening to capture some intimate maternity portraits, and I was so happy I did!

Katherine, you are an amazing mama, and you give birth to the most beautiful babies I have ever seen, and I am SO blessed and grateful to call you family ❤️

07/10/2022

This session hit close to home for me. I grew up with a single mom, and seeing the way Jemily loved on her daughter Amara, reminded me of the way my own mama loved on me as a kid.

Single motherhood is the toughest walk of all, and Jemily you are walking it with so much honour, self-respect and love, it was a beautiful thing to witness and to photograph ❤️

06/10/2022

Some more gorgeous captures from Karli's extended family session. Jeannette, her mama, was nervous about borrowing this yellow dress from my client closet. I am SO glad she did, she radiates beauty in it!

There's nothing quite like a mothers love, a wife's love, and a family's love. I was so blessed to be able to capture all three in this extended family session ❤️

05/10/2022

This has been the summer of extended family sessions! Karli, a beautiful bride of mine, had scheduled in some family photos 2 days before her wedding, when all of her siblings were in town together. It was so much fun getting to know everyone who would be in attendance at the wedding, and it made the wedding day feel that much more relaxed and easy-going.

I will truly miss this family and the memories we made together this summer. That's the hardest part of my job is that it's filled with a 1000 goodbye's, and just when you get to know someone and spend time with them, their session is over and you don't see them again until their next big milestone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm so grateful and happy to spend those important moments with them, but I truly love when we can pull it back to just focus on those relationships that matter most in their lives, and create beautiful art together like this. I was so lucky to get to photograph Karli and her family 3 times this summer, and I can't wait to work with all of them again in the future!

I'm definitely feeling sentimental today!

04/10/2022

Still loving this session so much, I had to post a few more portraits! Congratulations Hector & Christine! ❤️

03/10/2022

This session was like a magical journey to a distant place. I drove through a wall of forest fire smoke, truly unsure if I'd get any reprieve or any great photos with the landscape because of all of the smoke. When I entered the valley where Hector & Christine's family owns land, the smoke suddenly cleared away, the crickets were chirping, the river was babbling, and it was just peaceful and beautiful all around. I was stunned, and, in awe, we began our session.

Christine & Hector, you are about to embark on one of the greatest journeys life can take you on, and this beautiful beginning is just a glimpse into the magic that is loving your child. I can't wait to walk this journey beside you both, and meet your little one!

01/10/2022

In home family sessions fill my heart with so much warmth & joy. I have known Fehren & Alfonso for years, and was even lucky enough to photograph their wedding. Watching their family grow from one to two sons was such a blessing.

Thank you both for inviting me into your home & life to capture such precious moments like these ones.

I can tell you from firsthand experience, raising two boys myself, that this is just the beginning of a lifelong friendship that will make you laugh, make you cry, make you shake your head and ask, "why?" but most of all will make your heart fill with pride that you're raising two beautiful sons. Congratulations Fehren & Alfonso, your journey ahead is going to be a wonderful one ❤️

A trip to the mountains with the Bogart Family was exactly what my soul needed. I love spending time outdoors, breathing in the piney, mountain air. It feels like a rebirth of my spirit every time I'm there.

And creating beautiful art along the way makes it that much sweeter.

Thank you Bogart Family for making time to capture this moment in your family's life together, it was SO much fun working with you all! ❤️

29/09/2022

I've known Ashley & Jason for years, we were neighbours once upon a time! Catching up with them and seeing their kids grow into the beautiful little humans they're becoming was a gift I still cherish to this day.

This session occurred in the middle of the day, in a break in some awful stormy weather, and I don't think it could have turned out anymore perfectly. Thank you for trusting me to capture your family Ashley & Jason!

28/09/2022

This summer has been filled with incredibly beautiful sessions, I am so excited to finally be able to share them all with you! Pregnancy is a time like no other in a young married couples life, filled with joy, awe & wonder. Congratulations Ashley & Scott, can't wait to see where this journey takes you!

Love Story Film: Brad & Desiree

Ah yes, back when we could congregate in groups and see other people! I love this little Love Story Film, I couldn't imagine two people better suited to one another and more in love than Brad and Desiree. You can hear it in their voices and see it in the way they look at one another. I will really, really miss making films of others during this quarantine period. I can't wait to get back to showing you the way I see the world. Thank you to Telegraph Taphouse for allowing us to film in your cozy little pub. As soon as we were brainstorming ideas, Brad & Desiree said, "you had us at cozy english pub!" I'll also miss that place too during quarantine! And thank you to BLOOMdiggity for allowing us to film in your beautiful space. Chelsa Larson I will miss seeing your gorgeous arrangements and the smell of fresh flowers from your space! Cheers friends! Enjoy!

Where my story began

About 10 years ago I tried photographing my first wedding, and absolutely fell in love with photographing people. Fast forward about 8 years, 80 weddings, a husband of my own and a baby, and I decided to try making a wedding film for a friend. I fell in love with weddings all over again in a brand new way. I love making wedding films more than I can even tell you. While editing my first wedding film it was like I had an A-ha! moment, all the stars aligned, and I realized THIS is what I’m meant to be doing.

Telling your love story in such a genuine and authentic way, capturing all the moments that photographs miss, there is just something so beautiful about that. It fascinates me and keeps me dreaming of white dresses flowing on breezy summer days, while two people who are madly in love just bliss out with each other while the camera’s rolling. You honestly can’t beat it and I count my lucky stars every single time I am filming a wedding that THIS is what I get to do.

When I’m not working, you can find me hanging out with my family, doing crazy renovation projects (because I love to stay busy, much to my husbands dismay lol!), or walking our dogs down by the river bottom.

If you’d like to know more, or want to start planning the film or photo session of your dreams, contact me today. I love to make new friends, and tell new love stories!
