ETHAN & JANIE

By

I have been privileged to be able to photograph the proposal, engagement and wedding of this adorable couple, and now their 1 year anniversary!! They are both wonderful people and I love them a lot 🙂 He also just so happens to be my baby brother!

We did their session up in Royal Oak bright and early in the morning. OK, maybe these were closer to noon haha, but mornings are probably one of my favorite times for photos. I used to run from any shoot that wasn’t during the “golden hour”, but the more familiar I got with shooting in different lighting, the more I started to fall in love with the light early in the day. And let’s talk about those fall colors for a second – how gorgeous are they!? I love fall. It is my favorite season of the year! The colors, the weather, even the smells. It’s simply perfect! Missing those colors today, but winter can be pretty too, right?

FRASER FAMILY

By

This is my baby sister, Katelyn, her hubby Sean, and their sweet girls, Thea and Millie. These little girls are adorable and oh so full of personality (as you’ll see below). Our families joke that Thea should have her own show. She is hilarious!!

For their session we made our way back to Edworthy Park and the lighting was perfect to shoot in the tunnel of trees. Thea thought the tunnel of trees was an enchanted forest and was hesitant to go in because of what she might find. She has such an amazing imagination, which made this the perfect spot for this little family as Thea thinks she’s a princess. No joke! She waits at the top of the stairs and her parents have to announce “presenting… Princess Thea of Calgary” before she will come down. She kills me!!   And Millie? She wanted nothing to do with pictures (or her headband) and the second we tried to do her photos, she stopped, smiled, then walked out of the trees like she was on a stage – smile, exit stage right, and I’m outta here! haha Fraser-Family-2015-0025_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0029_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0032_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0050_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0092_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0101_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0133_WEBFraser-Family-2015-0146_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0148_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0173-2_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0179_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0202_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0206-2_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0208-2_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0219-2_WEBFraser-Family-2015-0225_WEB Fraser-Family-2015-0229_WEB

JOANNA | Maternity Photos

By

Check out this beautiful mom’s maternity photos!! Joanna and her hubby are expecting baby number 6. That’s right, SIX! Can you believe it?? Even though she expressed she was somewhat (read extremely) concerned about having maternity photos done,  she honestly looked gorgeous!! I photographed the birth of her last baby and she joked she was more comfortable with those than with maternity photos. I hope I helped ease her nervousness, as any photographer would be lucky to photograph her. And that baby bump couldn’t get any cuter!!

I’m lucky to have awesome photographer friends who are willing to let me borrow their outfits and props. Laura Taylor has an amazing stash of stunning maternity gowns and let us borrow a few for the shoot. I love the white lace maternity gown Joanna chose from the few that I gathered. Thank you Laura!! The dress worked PERFECT!

Oh, and if you’re wondering if Joanna’s having a boy or girl, you’ll have to wait a few more weeks – with mom and dad – to find out what the sex is! Until then, take a look at this beautiful mom of soon to be 6!

Van de Walle

By

I recently had a fabulous session with the Van de Walle family. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I truly have the best clients ever! This family was no exception either. I love working with them! They are a kind, sweet and thoughtful family, and let’s be honest, such a good looking bunch! Mom had them dressed adorable in navy and yellow, and I love the cream dress with floral crown (that mom made!) for their little girl’s 1st birthday photos.

Abbott’s Family Photos

By

This was another great family I was able to photograph while in Hawaii. They were a blast! I love that they have 3 boys and 2 girls like me – I can just see this being my little family in a few years. I think it’s so important to have family photos taken to capture your family the way it is at that point in time. Kids grow way too fast and it’s easy to forget what things were like, but having family photos gives you that little glimpse into what everyone was like. It’s such a treasure to have!
