Playful + Romantic in home couples session - Lethbridge Alberta

Emily + Kurtis’ in-home session, Lethbridge Alberta

Love is the most beautiful freaking thing in this world.

One of my favorite parts about working with couples is getting to know their story. How they met, little quirks, just anything I can learn about them. It not only translates my images from a simple image into artwork that holds memories. But it allows us to connect and have actual conversations during each session. In the end giving them something that they will look back on and treasure.

The love between Emily and Kurtis is real, and these images you are about to see will give you a little peak at it. Their home is absolutely adorable, and oh my gosh their cat.. (You can’t even tell how much Kurtis didn’t want to be doing this.)

I suck with words so lets just get on with it.

so basically, if you could fill my schedule up with sessions like this and i’ll be forever grateful.

Magical Motherhood Session - Lethbridge, Alberta

Rose, Keean, and I met at Indian Battle Park in Lethbridge, Alberta. The weather was perfect, beautiful sunshine, just enough wind, and the cutest little mother son duo you ever did see. We found a perfect little spot in the grass and sprawled out. Keean was hungry but very intrigued by the camera. His little eye brows - seriously. The most expressive little face I’ve ever seen. Keep scrolling to enjoy his many looks.

So yeah, I am in love with them all and hope you enjoyed checking them out.

PS this was just a mini session that got out of hand, woops. Sometimes its just too good to stop shooting.

Family farm session - Taber, Alberta

We spent the evening running around their family farm in Taber, Alberta. Running in and out of the beautiful light beams - laughing way to hard. To say it was perfect wouldn't be a lie. Its not uncommon that I connect well with children but by the end of our session together these two wanted me for a sleepover, which of course is the best thing to hear. 

Vanessa and Brady are picture perfect and capturing their family was just great, so I will leave it at that and show you the goods

In-home newborn lifestyle session, Lethbridge Alberta

I photographed Nicole and Ryan's adorable newborn lifestyle session at their home in Lethbridge, AB. These sessions are my favorites for a pretty simple reason - the love is undeniable, and the connection is nearly impossible to miss. 

Telling the story of a family, while creating this art, is more fulfilling than I could ever explain. Be sure to check out little miss Mila's personality, it shines brightly throughout the images (I seriously love her smile - its infectious) And Little Hugo looks just like a little old man!

River Bottom Free Spirit Portrait Shoot, Lethbridge Portrait Photographer

I photographed Chellsea down at the river bottom, surrounded by coulees, and the most beautiful array of greenery. During our session I tried to capture her essence. Chellsea runs a yoga studio in Taber, Alberta called Leela - Divine Play.  She is a mother to four babies, free-spirited, kind beyond words, knowledgeable, and I could just keep going on, so I really wanted to do her some justice with these images. But at the same time, I knew I was going to do something different with these than my normal. It was so much fun to push myself creatively and cannot wait to do more creative portraits in my near future.

If this is up your alley -let me know in the comments or better yet - click the button at the end of this blog post!

Motherhood session in downtown Lethbrige

I photographed Robyn and Harker's adorable mother's love photoshoot in downtown Lethbridge. It was one of my first times shooting in town here and it was amazing. We just played, hung out, and just had an fabulous time. The wind was blowing in full force (how strange for Lethbridge - NOT) and just a little chill in the air. But that didn't slow us down, we walked along alleys and ended by the old firehall (I adore the colors of it) so be sure to check those images out at the end!

Harker has such a wild sweet spirit to her (what two year old doesn't?) it kept our session feeling so alive and fun. And don't let me get started about Robyn, she is a bombshell, amazing mama - You could see love pouring out of her each time she looked at Harker. Ooh and before you go, please check  out Robyn over at Northern Anchor Co - she makes the BEST children's clothing!

Like I said before, they KILLED it.

Stephanie + Dylan

Oh man, we had a fun little time together. From cuddling on the couch to dancing and racing down a hill. Stephanie and Dylan are swing dancers and just have the most upbeat fun personalities. I love what we created together, and hope you do too!

All of that said, I just updated my portfolio, go check it out!

Love to you all.

Kassidy + Logan

Happy 2018, and what better way to kick it off with these two love birds. 

Kassidy is an incredible Stylist, she works at Cutloose Hair Studio in Taber if you need to be hooked up with her (SHE IS INCREDIBLE) hair, eyelashes, nails - she's your girl. Logan is a big part of his family farming business - Gouw Quality Onions. The two met in school, and have been inseparable ever since.  

We drove out to their family land, on a beautiful almost warm sunshine-y day (after a SUPER cold -40 degree week) not even a breathe of wind, which was weird. Their puppy Bella joined us, she is as white as the snow, so needless to say she kept playing peek-a-boo with us as we shot. 

We danced, laughed, had serious moments. I think you'll notice from the images you're about to see, these two are madly deeply crazy in love, and it melted my heart working with them. I cannot wait to fill 2018 with beautiful newborns, families, and couples.
