Do you hear that sound? The sound of crickets chirping? Things around this blog have been pretty quiet…almost for a year in fact! Most people know that I took a year off to go to school and become a holistic nutritionist. I’m now working as a nutritional consultant but am also itching to get back into photography! The other day I had a session with one of my favorite families, the Ors. This family has been close to my heart and I was so excited to meet the little guy.

Can’t forget big sister, Soleil. So adorable and has grown so much since I last took photos of her!!

Some of you may recognize Carla as being a second shooter at weddings. She does an amazing job and also has her own company. One thing about being a photographer is you tend to not get many photos of yourself, so this winter she wanted some photos of her, Mark and their dog Odin in the snow. Here are some of my favorites from their session. Trying to get Odin to sit on the sled was not an easy feat! You can tell by his face he wasn’t too impressed.

SOOO pretty!

Carla knows how to work her stuff!

Thanks guys, it was so much fun! Sorry to make you lie in the snow for so long! =)

Marie and I go waaay back, all the way to Grade 1. I remember listening to Bush X with her in junior high and watching the Men in Black music video over and over until we had the dance moves memorized. Yes, we were dorks. But we had fun! I hadn’t seen her in a few years since we graduated, so it was so exciting to be able to shoot her and her sweet little family back in the fall!

Poor Hayley was so cold but she was a trooper and still smiled for most of the shots!

So cute!

Kendra & Marco

On this Thanksgiving weekend, I have SO much to be thankful for. One of the things I am so very grateful for is the amazing clients that I meet and get to work with. I think of them as my friends as something changes when I am able to be a part of their wedding day. Kendra and Marco are two people that were so warm and fun, and I was honored to be a small part of their event. They got married on one of the hottest days we had in September and the weather and fall colors couldn’t have been more perfect. The ceremony took place at the Art Gallery of Calgary, which was such a wonderful venue. Here are my favorite images of the day…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

These two had an intimate beautiful backyard wedding with just a couple people present. I was absolutely honored to be a part of it and be able to photograph it. I am so excited for them as they start their lives together!

After a short ceremony, we headed on over to a park to take a few shots.

I love this photo, her red shoes work so well with the berries!

My niece, Storrie, just turned one (!) so we took some photos of her at some great locations in Medicine Hat. She just discovered walking so she is definitely much harder to capture now! She is a little bundle of energy that won’t stop moving but she is sooo cute!

Ravi + Andrew

One of my favorite weddings this year was at the charming Saskatoon Berry Farm. Andrew and Ravi had a beautiful wedding with lots of wonderful details. And the smoke in the air cleared up just in time!

The great thing about the farm is that you can have your complete wedding there, from getting ready to the reception!

Ravi looked absolutely gorgeous!!

The ceremony took place down by the river, among the Saskatoon berry bushes.

Saskatoon jam for their favors- I loved it!

They had the guests do all sort of fun games to be able to get to the buffet…some of them made for some pretty good laughs!

My second shooter, Sophia, captured the next one…I love the mood of the photo…

Thanks Ravi and Andrew, we had a wonderful time!

Sophia + Tyler

Sophia is and has been many things to me- my best friend since high school, my second shooter, my fellow crazy Spaniard, and my roommate to name a few. She is getting married in a couple of months to one lucky guy, so we headed to the Saskatoon Berry farm to take some engagement photos. I can’t wait for their wedding! And this time I am one of the maids of honor, so I’ll have to leave my camera behind. It will be hard, I am sure, to not be able to shoot everything, but also nice to just enjoy the day.

Robyn + Chris got married a couple weeks ago and if I can say so, I think we all had a good time! We started the day off shooting the beautiful bride getting ready.

A little beer before the wedding- why not!

Onto the ceremony…

EXCITED to be married!

We headed to Reader Rock Garden for the wedding party shots…

We had some time before the Reception, so we went to the Hose and Hound pub in Inglewood. This is becoming a favorite idea among couples, it gives everyone a chance to relax and re-fuel before the Reception. And we always get some great candid shots!

Thanks guys, it was a pleasure shooting your day!
