Kari, Terry & Darian Family Session

I met up with Kari and her fiance Terry and her son Darian on Friday afternoon to do an engagement and family photo session.

This couple are getting married next September here in Fort McMurray!

Adam, Vicki & Claire - Family photos

It was beautiful on Friday morning when I went to meet with Adam and Vicki at a park in Timberlea. This cute couple brought out their 11-week daughter Claire, who had a few moments of upset. However, dad has the magic touch.

We got some really cute photos, so enjoy!

Nicole & Steve Maternity Session

I met with Nicole and Steve tonight and managed to catch some of that awesome sunset lighting.
This newlywed couple are expecting their first baby - a little boy!

I had a great time exploring an area of Thickwood just around the corner from there house. Nicole and Steve were great, listening to all of my suggestions and making a few of their own.

After some nice shots showing the great fall colours, we headed into their house to take some photos that were a little more revealing.

Congratulations on your new little one!

Carrie, Ron & Minnie

It was a beautiful day on Sunday and you could tell by how many photographers had the same idea... we all headed down to the Alberta Legislature to do some family photos.

To be fair, I was shooting my cousin, her husband and his daughter. Usually my cousin and her husband live in Calgary and with us meeting in the middle it made sense to go to a landmark we all knew. These three realized that they hadn't had a family photo taken in almost two years when Carrie and Ron got married. They did some of their fall wedding photos at the Legislature then also.

It was great to see you guys. I look forward to seeing you more now that you're moving to Edmonton.
Here are some images from our quick 30-minute mini shoot.

Boudoir photos

When I knew I was heading down south I called up a friend of mine who wanted me to do some special photos as gift for her significant other.
We had a great time collaborating over a couple bottles of wine. The images came out great and she discovered how much she loved herself - a win-win situation I think.

Beth & Martin - Couples photos

Last week I had the opportunity to photograph my friends Beth and Martin. They realized that they had never had any photos taken together, except for self portraits. You know... arm stretched and hope it turns out.

Beth and I volunteer together with Girl Guides of Canada. She's a very enthustiastic Guide leader and an employee of the municipality. She is never without a smile no matter what the situation.
Martin plays a mean trombone and last year we were both members of the Keyano College Community Band.

When I suggested that we head down to the river by MacIsland they were thrilled. This is an area where they often go for walks as Beth lives in the area.

I had a great time guys!

Weller family

A high school friend of mine, Kari-Anne, wanted to get some family photos done and loved my style. When I knew I was heading south I contacted her right away to see if she was still interested.

She definitely has three very busy young men. I followed them around the park and then we went for ice cream!

Thanks for spending the day with me guys!

*UPDATE*
I got a cute email from Kari-Anne a couple of days later to tell me that when her mom asked the boys if they had gotten their photos taken the three of them replied "No, we just played and then we went for ice cream."
I loved hearing that. I want all of my clients to feel as though it wasn't really work, more like just an experience.
