Spring Adventure Session in the Mountains | Kananaskis Family Photographer

This session is over a year old now, but it’s been sitting in my blog drafts waiting for me to share it ever since. This lovely family wanted portraits in the mountains to document their time here in Alberta. This spot in Kananaskis is a favourite for me because the views are so stunning and depending on the time of year, the landscape can really vary. This session was in the spring and the water was so low. It’s amazing the difference when you go out there in the summer or the fall.

These kids were the perfect age for an Adventure Session. Having an activity and no time limit gives younger kids the space to just be themselves. They don’t have to worry about ‘behaving’ a certain way or following instructions. We allow things to just naturally unfold. The only job a family has is to show up ready to play, have fun, and love each other. I provide enough direction so that you can feel confident that we are going to get the images that you want, but also allow you to just show me your true authentic selves. Here is a sampling of the images that this family created with me. Not only did we get amazing portraits to put on their walls or share with family and friends, but we got a great series of images that allow for a wonderful book that illustrates this moment in their family’s history.
