Climb Every Mountain | Calgary Family Photographer

When you shoot another photographer's family, it is always stressful. Even if that photographer is your dear friend. Truth. 

We hiked up to Grassi Lakes. I had plans to catch some stunning views, but we did not count on a few things. First...oh man, it was so super busy. Second...it was way colder than we had anticipated. We rolled with it. We got what we got. The end goal was to get this photographer dad in some of the shots with his girls because, as a photographer, that doesn't happen often enough. 

Mission accomplished.

And, if you want to give your eyeballs a treat, you should check out his work here. 

Okotoks Maternity Photographer

I had these two in the studio recently. I love when both expectant parents come into the studio together. It is such a special time in a young family's life that it is wonderful to document the connection that mom and dad feel together and with their soon to be born baby. Maternity photography should be about more than the belly. It is simply one of the most beautiful times in a young family's life and it should be celebrated. Love that this mom to be was brave and bared some skin. And, the floral crown from Fleurish is so gorgeous. You can add a floral crown to your maternity session-just ask for details and we can plan something super special.

The Colours of the World | Calgary Family Photographer

I've been mentoring a lot lately. This always gets me thinking...about things like blogging and actually sharing the work that I create because...like I have said to many students--if I don't show it to anyone, how can I expect them to know that I've made it? ha. 

I really loved this session because I just got to play with the kids and really see their personalities. Sometimes it takes awhile for a family to relax and be themselves, but not this family ;) Before I knew it we were having a disco party in the living room ;)

O Christmas Tree... | Calgary Family Photography

Absolutely the best way to end my busy season...with a session where the family let me be witness to the magic of Christmas through their little ones eyes. He wants a digger and a forklift. She wants a horse drawn carriage with Sleeping Beauty and Belle riding along. Such a special year this will be for these two munchkins.  Such a treat for me to watch them put up their tree. I couldn't decide...colour or black and white.
