Snowflakes || Calgary Engagement Photography

I had the pleasure this weekend of being a part of the engagement of Randy and Kirsten, an absolutely beautiful couple. I love taking pictures of people in love, it was evident by the looks on their faces just how much they cared for each other - from their smiles, to their laughter to the way their eyes just lit up. There's a certain magic to being in the presence of two people that are in love and with these two, there was definite magic. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak - it was truly hard to pick just a handful to share!

Images of Hope || Calgary Lifestyle Photography

Meet Heather, one of the winners for the Greybrook Giveaway that occurred at Christmas; her friend Christie nominated her for her breast cancer journey and the inspiration that she has been throughout it. This weekend I had the honour of meeting Heather and sharing in a part of her journey towards recovery - together, with her husband Bryce, her little dog Stella and a couple of friends that were their for emotional support, we took pictures of this beautiful family. Throughout the afternoon, we captured an array of portraits and more personal images of Heather to capture her beauty and show her strength that she has displayed day after day through adversity. This sneak peak includes the less personal pictures of the afternoon we shared together - I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being a part of this story.

Giggles & Laughter || Edmonton Family Photography

One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is capturing special moments in people's lives - this joy is only enhanced by the relationships with the people in the pictures. The following session was one that was very special for me, as this family of five are very near and dear to my heart. It was in 2007 that I met these amazing people through working with their son and brother, Simon. There is a saying that says that some people come into our lives and go quickly while others stay a while, leave footprints on our hearts and because of it, we'll never be the same. That perfectly describes what this family has come to mean to me, for I can honestly say that without the 'footprints' their son left on my heart, I probably would have never pursued a career in social work. So I hope you enjoy these pictures that were captured on a trip up to Edmonton to visit them, after my husband and I spent the day with them, running around the Science Centre and getting buzzed up on sugar at dinner, we took these pictures - as you will see, they were full of giggles and laughter. Enjoy!

Little Abel || Calgary Newborn Photography
