Sometimes writing blogs about families is very easy and other times I sit for a long time wondering what to write.  It is these writer-blocked moments where I realize that words can’t do some families justice.  This is one such family where the words beautiful, thoughtful, loving and fun come to mind but I am unsure of how to connect them in a worthy blog.

So instead I will just say I had a wonderful time with your three lovely daughters and I hope that you enjoy the images.

Some weddings touch my heart differently than others, this one was one of those.  Well, it should be, it was family…more specifically my sister-in-laws.  Surrounded by 38 of their loved ones Erin and Brian exchanged marriage vows in one of the most stunning landscapes Alberta has to offer.  We partied the night away with rousing games of horseshoes and bocce ball all while snacking on s’mores.  The neighbour across the lane from the venue brought over a donkey, yes…a donkey.

Erin and Brian, you two are so very special to me and I hope that I captured all the great moments of your day.  Thank you to all the friends and family who helped pull this wedding off in two months.  And most of all, congratulations to the beautiful couple.

Enjoy!!

I am a huge history nerd, yes, I can admit it…a nerd.  When the H. family asked me to do a fall family session for them on their family land, I thought sure, no problem.  But when they told me part of the land made up the old Klondike Trail, I was in full steam ahead.  I won’t bore you with the cool details about hundreds of men hiking up hundreds of kilometers of trail to find riches of gold in the Yukon or how many perished along the way or how only a small handful of men actually made it to the finish line and even less of them found gold…that’s what google is for.

Instead, I will just share the pictures of this beautiful family.  The kids were more than willing to do anything I asked and the results are wonderful.  I hope you enjoy your pictures and thank you for asking me to help document your family.

This is the fourth time that I have had the privilege to meet with this family and photograph them.  It is so great to see how the kids have grown up over time and see how their little personalities have blossomed over the past few years.

Thank you again for allowing me to document your changing family.  Enjoy.

Families come in all shapes and sizes and Kristen and Tyrrell have a wonderful family of two beautiful dogs, Domino and Solitaire.  Domino, their newest puppy was full of energy and ready to run, but I managed to get a few images of him resting.

Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
