Oh fall. With all your bright beautiful colours and the way you only last a short time. Oh fall. You mesmerize me. You compel me to shoot. And who am I to argue? With a very very busy wedding season still in full swing and a rowdy little one year old, I may have been a little crazy to plan a full day of portrait sessions but I am thrilled with the results. I love fall and I love capturing it and could not have been happier to spend the day with these incredible families. Enjoy!

So what happens when one of your very best friends gets pregnant only a year after you? Well, you spend the long months chatting about babies and planning an epic maternity shoot. How perfect of Katy to be pregnant at the exact right time of year for glowy golden pictures. It’s kind of like a gift to me really. Thanks Katy 🙂 Big thanks to Amborella Floral Studio for the gorgeous crown and bouquet and Trena Laine for her ever fabulous talent in the hair and makeup realm. It was one of those evenings that we chased the light. We worked with the grove of trees, did some other stuff and on our way back, we just had to do more. I can’t believe there isn’t much time left before I get to snuggle a brand new squishy babe. Katy and Brett have got this, that is for certain. The real question is does Farley know what he’s in for?

So there’s a magical time every year when the leaves and the light are gold. It’s fleeting but it’s certainly here and I am loving every minute. From the moment I started chatting over email with Shea, I could feel an instant connection. As soon as I met her and Clint, I knew we were an amazing match. They are incredibly full of life, vibrant, energetic, spirited; their eyes sparkle. We bonded over our son’s name both being Logan. And family, they adore their boys and there is such respect and admiration being shared and offered to the boys and back. The outdoors is a huge part of Sheahan and Clint’s lives and canoeing at North Glenmore Park is a regular family activity. Being engaged is not just about these two wonderful people, it’s about bringing together two families and so it was only fitting that the boys were included as well. We watched the sun go down together and I remember reveling in the fact that this is exactly why I love my job. Capturing and documenting families and love in this wonderful world makes my heart sing. Enjoy!

This sweet little family is welcoming a new little babe this spring! Not long ago, I photographed Kerri and Karl’s wedding in this park and I thought it was fitting to head back there for the maternity session. A beautiful day and a beautiful family. I cannot wait to meet this little one!

It really is such an honor to develop relationships with my wedding couples, to get to know them over the course of a year or so and then spend an intimate and emotion-packed day with them. I tend to leave our final meeting feeling like I have two new friends. I was actually just talking about this with one of my fall couples about how happy I am with all of my clients and how I think that what you ‘put out there’ is what you get back in return. I strive to be positive, happy and easy-going in every aspect of my life (most of the time! I am so not perfect) and I feel blessed to say that my couples unilaterally reflect that. Charlene and Riley are no exception. In fact, Charlene is a Labor and Delivery nurse and helped me a great deal last year when I was dealing with a few pregnancy related complications. She practically wrote me a novel and set my mind at ease. I was thrilled to hear the good news, and delighted that they wanted me to photograph their maternity session. I haven’t been to Big Hill Springs since last year and couldn’t wait to be back and explore again. We were beyond lucky with the weather, it seemed to be raining all around us but never on us and I love the results. Enjoy!
