2015: oh what a year it’s been! (that’s a pretty decent rhyme if you ask me)

They say that the days are long but the years are short and I have to say I very much agree with that. Especially now that I have a child of my own and the years are measured in just how much he grows and all the new things he does each and every day. Looking back on 2015 makes me really happy. It was the beginning of my tenth year in business and a year that I felt like I really achieved an amazing work/life balance; it’s difficult as an entrepreneur to find balance, especially as someone who really enjoys my work.

This year took me a lot of places. I was in Kananaskis at the Delta Lodge, I shot in Canmore multiple times and finally made it out to Fernie and witnessed the awe-inspiring splendor of Island Lake Lodge. Emerald Lake Lodge was on the roster, a definite happy place, and the Calgary Zoo was a popular venue this year. I felt so happy that the rainiest wedding of the entire season was at the Zoo as their gardens are the best indoor location in the city. I couldn’t have asked for better light or more beautiful surroundings while the rain poured down the entire day. I met so many incredible couples, people that I felt such a connection with. There was a lot of laughter and happiness and I can’t keep the smile off my face as I write this and reminisce. I feel REALLY lucky to be part of my couples’ and clients’ life moments, to be part of their family for that day and onward. It is an honor, it is a thrill and it is something I feel like I was meant to do. I was meant to work with real people and tell their stories. I love what I do and I’m so happy to share it. Enjoy!
