Neighbourhood Family Adventure | Calgary Photographer

Not all families seek adventure in the ruggedness of the mountains. When babies are small, sometimes just a walk around the block can be an adventure. Discovering fallen leaves. Running into Mama's waiting arms. Just exploring the world around them. Adventure is everywhere if you know where to look for it. Lessons from watching toddlers explore for the last decade(did you know that 2017 marks my 10th year in business?).

So, what neighbourhood do you live in? Kensington, Inglewood, Auburn Bay or Tuscany? So many great neighbours to explore and look for adventure. I'd love to come visit yours. 

The Flanagan Family | Calgary Family Photography

For my entire career, I have been meeting with this family. It has truly been my pleasure to watch these incredible kids grow up. I mean...I probably shouldn't say that I have photographs of this little girl with her 'blankie'. No, really!! How old does that make me? When they purchased this house and it's FABULOUS pool, we immediately hatched a plan to one day do a session in it. I am so grateful that the kids(and the grown ups) trusted me to show up with my crazy camera and BATHING SUIT to capture these images for them. Summer is now fading fast and I'm already wishing I had taken the time to get in the water more. It might just be the perfect year for a HOT vacation ;)

Ice Cave in Jasper National Park

We ventured out to the Athabasca Glacier to see the Ice Cave recently for fear that it would not last the summer this year. So glad we did. It was such a sight to see.

Back To School -- September Studio Special

We are TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL PORTRAITS in our house. Don't get me wrong--I actually love having them every year. Even if they are super cheesy. A few years ago, I decided to let my kids pick the backgrounds and their outfits. They do their own hair. And, then, when it comes time to buy one, we pick the cheesiest one for fun. That has been our approach the last couple of years.

But, I know that for many people, these portraits are important. I mean...I have a bazillion portraits of my own kids, so it is easy for me to dismiss the cheesy school picture. So, I had an idea. What if there was a more modern/less cheesy alternative? And, my September Studio Special was born.

So, a SPECIAL FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, bring your kid to my studio after school to have a 5 minute photo session with me designed to get one awesome, modern portrait. Open to school aged kids only--the time limit would just make it difficult with little ones. 

too cool for school portraits special

$50(+gst) for the 5 minute session and ONE DIGITAL FILE!!! Additional digital files can be purchased along with some too cool for school product(or just regular old school prints). These are limited edition sessions available Mon-Fri for the month of September in my studio only. Wondering what the images might look like? If you aren't familiar with my work, my goal is to always capture more than just what you look like. My goal is to capture a bit of who you are. I did a 5 minute session with each of my kids and here are some of the results.

Contact me today to grab one of these limited spots!! And, spread the word!!! Stop the spread of cheesy school portraits!!
