The Snow Queen in Taber Alberta

The Snow Queen

I believe everyone should push themselves beyond their comfort zone, the farther the better. This is where growth comes, this is where you find those new little pieces of yourself that weren’t visible before. Growing up I would not consider myself to be creative, I could not close my eyes and picture that final product, and my uneducated or practiced efforts were not so pretty. Instead of trying I LIED to myself. I said “You are not creative.” That one lie stayed put for YEARS, even into my first year of business. I know now how silly that was of me. I am creative, my art is beautiful, I have worked REALLY freaking hard to get to where I am, this is not a little thing, this is a really really big beautiful thing. And it only happened because I told myself the truth. “I am creative” and then believed it.

I want you to feel how beautiful you are. I want to you to look at yourself through new eyes, with loving eyes. And feel empowered by your own strength. I want you to look in the mirror and see beauty in every single imperfection, simply because it is yours and that is beautiful in itself. Take a moment to remind yourself this every time you look in the mirror, every morning when you wake up and go to sleep. Make sure to remind others too, because that's another beautiful thing, we have the power to make others feel good too. •Makeup @mrazekmakeupartistry •hair @ambermorrowhairstylist •location @houseofhammm •styling by @aliceandirene @chellseadee and myself. •photography @ashleym.photography
What were your wedding colors and would you still choose the same ones?/What colors are you planning to have? We had plum and cream with wood disks + candles all for that 'rustic chic' look. It kind of hurts me inside seeing all of these warm colored weddings and wishing I could do the day again! 😂 Now for this image.... That beautiful bouquet was made by @petalandstem @tarynrs7 Was our model, and it wss the best choice ever. Taryn's hair that you cannot see was beautifully done by @vkapcsos17 Makeup by the incredibly talented @tamaramartinmakeup And decor that you cannot see was styled by @homerangegoods And all together let me tell you this team worked magic together.
I always wanted an elaborate proposal story. Instead, Cody proposed to me in our bedroom, right before we headed to Waterton for the day. I was so mad he didn't wait the two hours for a magical location. But the day was perfect and 7 years later, I still love him, and we have 3 beautiful kids so we are winning. I want to hear about your engagement stories! Did your person go all out, or panic last minute like mine, how long have you been engaged/married.. or if your not there yet, what is your dream engagement??

MELI + KYLE // IN-HOME COUPLES SESSION

I met Meli + Kyle in their West Lethbridge home and immediately fell in love with them, and their incredible rose gold beautifully styled home as you will see below. These two are very clearly best friends, and just so madly in love with each other. Keep scrolling to see a little bit of the absolute magic we created together.

I will leave you with one more thing before you check these out (or for after you’ve checked them out). Melani has the most amazing online boutique called Ash + Antler (CLICK HERE) to do a little shopping, I honestly want ALL of the incredible clothing she carries.

OK OK no feast your eyes on these two beautiful humans.

Ok now tell me that these two aren’t perfect.
