Last spring I had the opportunity to work with The Kuwintas Co Jewelry for their branding photography. I was very excited to photograph something new, as I have yet to have a jewlery maker as a client. I quickly realized how tricky photographing jewelry was due to the reflection and how small/finicky the pendents were to work with. I loved the challenge and getting to be creative with this product. The Kuwintas Co supplied an abundance of props for me to work with that align with their brand which was fun to mix it up! I picked a few of my favs from our session together.

One of my absolute favourite newborn sessions this year. I love everything about this sweet family and their little bond together. I have photographed them since they were newly engaged to married to their first maternity and fast forward into their second newborn. We have created so many memories together over the years and it is always such an honour to be welcomed back into their lives. Their nursery theme was Peach for their little Georgia Peach. It was the sweetest.

One of my all time favourite lifestyle family sessions. There is no greater compliment then when a family gives you full trust in the location, posing and vision of the session. We originally had this scheduled for September but wanted more fall colours instead of green grass so we postponed until end of October and I’m so glad we did. We lucked out with the most beautiful weather, golden colours and the perfect night in this location. Thank you S family for trusting me once again with your families memories.

Newborns win my heart every time but baby Jax was just the sweetest little soul with an extremely lovely family. There was so much love, laughter and cuddles during this session and his big sister is just so smitten with him. Here are a few of my favourite photographs from his newborn session this past winter.

The blog post I have been so eagerly waiting to post. And a long time coming. In the spring of 2021 we were given an old garage that was moved out from the city. My neighbours had it on their property and used it to keep their lambs warm in the winter time. They decided they no longer had use for it, so my husband was going to make it into an extra garage. After a whole lot of sweet talking, I convinced him to let me have it as a photography studio.

When I first opened my studio I did a few casting calls for creative sessions that I had in mind. When M + I applied, I knew they would be the perfect fit for this motherhood session I had in mind. Minimalist, open belly, cuddly and sweet. I started the session with these hanging floral instillments I made which I can't WAIT to use again. I just need to make a million more strands to fill the space. I’m in love with this session so much and I can’t wait to blow that little babes newborn session that I JUST hit export on!

This branding session is like branding session GOALS! Beautiful, bright and well styled location, thought out outfit planning and so much content creation happening. I loved my morning with the Panchuk Partners Realty mother daughter duo. We used the beautiful Stirling Homes show home in Legacy and it was the perfect location for this branding session.

Thank you so much Amanda + Tammy for trusting me to capture your business and your personalities.

Madison + Alex were married in August and we decided to do a day after shoot (a month later) so they could have more one on one time for wedding portraits in a more relaxed setting. We decided last minute to change the location to Drumheller instead of a mountain hike and I’m soooo glad we did. I love shooting in the badlands because the neutral tones and all the textures make my heart so happy.

We had the best time hiking into the canyon and exploring this vast and beautiful land on the night before a full moon.

After this maternity session, I remembered why I love them so much. They are so calm and joyful. The excitement and anticipation ice so evident in all the maternity couples I photograph. We were blessed with the most beautiful evening earlier this week. A few too many mosquitos but we made it work. These two came ready to venture into the creek, lay in the mosquito filled grass and were up for anything I suggested. They actually asked to do laying down poses, and that instantly made my heart so happy. I can’t wait to photograph their little girl whose set too arrive next month!

Most of you who follow me, know my love for gardening. I have been gardening with my mom since I can remember, but now that I have a property of my own I have been experimenting a lot with cutting flowers and different blooms. My favourites so far are cosmos, zinnias, peonies, poppies + Sweet peas. I love having fresh blooms in my house in the summertime. It might be my favourite thing about summer actually. This year we also have cattle and bees on our property along with my donkeys.

If you know me, you know how much I love photographing newborns and love it even more when there is a fur baby there too. Little Briar was a dream to photograph in the sweetest space. I love the colour palate they picked for her newborn session. The neutral tones are my favourite to photograph. Here are a few of the frames I loved most! Which is a lot, I’m sorry in advance!

Sweet Brooks. This little guy was such a dream to photography along with his little girl gang of sisters. They are absolutely smitten with him and it really showed during these newborn photos. I had the pleasure of photographing Brook’s mom and dads wedding a few years ago and their family portraits in between. When they asked me to photograph their newborn session, I was so excited. I love how intimate and sweet this session was with so many cuddles.

I have known Renee for years now as we grew up in the same community, going to the same school and in the same art class in high school. Renee has always been incredibly talented and a huge inspiration to me with her artistic talent and love for so many of the same things as me. I have been dying to do a session with her since I started shooting branding sessions and when she asked me to come to her home studio, I knew it was going to be an amazing session. Her studio is cozy. Filled with all her beautiful work, many plants filling her space and so many hints of bees. Another interest we share with one another.

When Devon reached out to me about photographing her partner Matt and their new puppy, Harlow I instantly knew it was going to be a good session. They wanted a studio space for their session and this boho studio space downtown came to mind first. It was the perfect fit for them. Harlow is a total cutie and I wanted to take him home with me. Here’s a few of my favourites from their session last week.

This may be one of the most fascinating blog post you will come across on my website. And a new found love for me. HONEY BEES! Jen from Wild Prairie Honey and I quickly became instagram friends, chatting back and forth since the winter. I instantly fell in love with her page because of the informative content of how insanely cool honey bees are and the whole process that comes with them. I got my hands on her honey, and I will never be the same again. Because WOW, it was unbelievably delicious.

Today I am sharing one of my most favourite newborn sessions, not just because I’m obsessed with all the photos but because these people are insanely special too me. This is my cousin and her husband with their baby girl. I took over auntie status the day she came into the world and I am just so dang excited to have a little girl to hang out with!

Brianna literally slept her entire session and was a dream baby. She let us do whatever poses we wanted and happily slept the hour away. I even got to sneak in baby snuggles afterwards and that was really the best part.

Fitting all my feelings and emotions about this 8 day trip across the pond is simply impossible. I don’t even know where to begin. But sorry in advance for the abundance of photographs you are about to see. Including the insane amount of food that was consumed during our time there.

Monica, who is the talented photographer behind Calgary Boudoir/Red Bloom Photography and I have been friends for 10+ years now. We are the definition of instagram friends turned into real friends.

I have been shooting for White Bull Clothing Co for three months now, and before that time I didn’t realize how much I truly needed this community in my life. It is so much more than a clothing boutique, it is an experience and feeling apart of a community. Every time we shoot together I leave feeling inspired, full of life and my face hurts from laughing and smiling so much. Surrounding myself with like minded entrepreneurs, positive souls and inspiring women is what every one needs in their life. White bull shoot day is easily my favourite day of the week. I love being full creative freedom to shoot their gorgeous clothing in beautiful spaces. Here’s a few (hundred) favs from our last shoot together this past week.
