A ‘country picnic’ is how Wendy described her wedding to me in the months leading up to the big event. A small, intimate wedding full of laughter, tears and love is what I saw. Wendy and Doug put so much of themselves into their wonderful day and it was an honor to capture it. They did what I ask so many of my couples to do, make time for themselves on their wedding day, and I think the pictures reflect the relaxed, happiness that came because of it.

Congratulations to the both of you. Much love and happiness for the years to come. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek of your wedding images.

Ted and Jenn, where do I begin? I always seem to have writers block when I’m blogging about friends….as I’m staring at the flashing cursor I’m thinking of words that describe you two…caring, genuine, funny, loving, generous, the list could go on and on. But most of all when I think of you two I always think of you together…Jenn AND Ted…never one or the other separately. I think this speaks volumes of your love for one another. I have never met another couple who I can say with such certainty and sincerity that are perfect for one another.

Before I start to get all mushy, I just wanted to say thank you for allowing me to document your day (and for being some of my biggest fans, thank you for seeing the simplicity and the connection between people in my work and understanding it). I hope that your images are just as beautiful to you as they are to me.

With all my love…

Two of the cutest kids in a wedding, EVER!!

For someone who admitted that she had never shot a maternity session a month or two ago, it feels like every second email I get is a maternity session inquiry…is there a baby boom I’m unaware of? Baby boom or not, these ‘almost parents’ were wedding clients of mine last year and it was so nice to spend an evening with them.

K&B, I have no doubt in my mind that you are going to be fantastic parents. Thank you so much for asking me to document another important milestone in your lives and I cannot wait to meet your little bundle of joy. I hope you love your maternity session as much as I do.

I’ll do just about anything to get a great shot, even if that means wading into the mosquito infested river valley of Edmonton. Yes, it isn’t surprising with the amount of rain we had this spring that the mosquitos would be out in full attack mode. So DEETed up to the “manufacturer recommended levels”, we ventured into enemy territory…

So, I’m exaggerating a bit, but bugs aside, I love meeting up with past clients. Little A was a newborn client of mine from way back…well 2 years to be more accurate and we had a wonderful evening exploring the river valley and hunting for elusive bears and frogs. Along the way, stopping to take a few family pictures.

Thanks U family!! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Spring Maternity Session | Calgary Photographer

So, I was trying to think if I have ever done a true maternity session before…yes, a few clients have been in the early stages of pregnancy in family photos, but I don’t think I have ever shot this type of session before. So when my very cute and pregnant sister-in-law asked me to “take a few pictures” of her and her husband, I was a little hesitant. How do I make a maternity session look good without crossing the line into cheesy? You all know the pictures I’m talking about, if not, just google the words maternity photography and have a look.

So I hope that I have stayed away from the cliche and the tacky and documented two people who love each other and are about to add to their family. If not, I guess this is the end of my maternity photography career…

Enjoy.
