Leo 2 years old

Leo is now 2 years old and I can't believe where the time has gone! I know that I have said this probably about 100 times but I absolutely LOVE photographing families throughout the years. Documenting their growth and especially giving them memories for a lifetime. The Gillan family is like my own now and I'm so thankful that they ask me to come over every year to take photos!

Although the weather wasn't the nicest this day we still made the best of it and found a few puddles and played in the park for a bit. Here are a few of my favorite memories from the day:

I think that swing shots might just be my favorite!! This one is my fav from the day!

Nate & Lisle Married!

It has finally come!!!! Nate and Lisle are married! My first Wedding of the 2011 season and I couldn't have asked for a better couple, day or event! Like I mentioned before Nate and I go way back to our high school days and I couldn't be happier for him! He has found a perfect girl to spend the rest of his life with! I'm so excited for them both to start this very exciting journey! Looking through all my photos I still get choked up, yes I did, I cried at the ceremony. The nice thing about being the photographer is you can hide behind your camera and no one will ever know!! :) Probably one of my absolute favorite moments is when  the groom see's his bride for the first time, weather it be walking down the aisle or as a first look. Emotions are on high and they are pretty much worn on your sleeve. Here are a few of my favorites to tell the story of the day!

 This shot of Nathan was taken by my awesome second shooter Jonny, who is now in Prague!

Meet Mike and Paulina!

I can hardly wait for Mike and Paulina's Wedding! I feel like I have known this couple for years but in reality we only meet a few months ago. They are both so much fun and so much in love, what more could a photographer ask for?! I just love how their photos turned out and thankfully there are still some really generous people in Calgary! A neighbor of Mike and Paulina's said that it would be no problem if we used his truck for some of the photos. Have a peek below to see some of my favorites from this session!

On a side note I will be updating my blog very soon. This is so long overdue and thanks to a very close friend who told me to get on it, this next month I will be working on upgrading this blog. Please watch for a new blog coming soon!

Thanks!

Kathryn - Glamor

So I'm kicking off  the long weekend with an absolutely stunning girl. You may recognize Kathryn from a previous session that we did in Drumheller about a year ago. Kathryn just had a birthday and finished yet another 30 day hot yoga challenge. What better way to celebrate than to get some glamor shots done. This particular afternoon there were 4 of us hanging out in a really close friends condo, the 4 of us play basketball together so you can only imagine how much fun we all had!

"You have made me feel more beautiful that I have thought possible!"

 Kathryn you are beautiful!! I'm just glad that I was able to make you see it through your own eyes.

My friend and business partner Catherine did the hair and make-up for the day and did an outstanding job! If you are interested in booking one of these sessions or have any questions please send me an e-mail I would love to hear from you!

The Hardy Party Wedding!

The long awaited blog is finally here! After breaking my computer then my Husband's 3 days later and then building a new computer I am finally up and running again instead of limping along. Actually I am still slightly limping from my knee surgery but I am thinking about walking some stairs this weekend and starting slowly to go back to yoga next week. :) YAY!!

I know that I have probably said this about all the destination weddings that I have been on, but I am starting to understand that spending a week on a beautiful island with some incredible people you are going to make some unforgettable memories! 

Brenna and Jay planned an extraordinary week and capped it off with a beautiful Wedding! Now I was not the official photographer as Brenna and Jay wanted me to actually enjoy the day, which I was more than happy doing. With that being said I double dare you to try and take the camera out of my hands :) I spent the morning with all the girls getting ready and I absolutely LOVED it! I couldn't have felt more like part of the Wedding!!! All the girls were so inviting and one of them actually did my hair for me (as I am very special in that department). Thank you so much for all the memories! As these are memories that one will never forget!

Here are a couple of my favorites that tell the story of Brenna and Jay's Wedding!

I was able to snap a few of just the girls before we all headed to the ceremony.

When everyone arrived in the hotel room Brenna and Jay had put together a little welcome package. In this package were some ridiculously awesome glasses!

My Papa and Step-mom.

The beautiful site

Brenna and Jay surprised everyone with fire dancers. These guys were awesome!

Probably my favorite photo from the day!

Brenna and Jay's day after session coming soon!
