I want you to meet Kaine.  He is a really cool kid with two great parents!  After spending a bit of time with him there are two things that stand out.  1. He likes to play with toy handcuffs  2. He has a special relationship with his dad.

This special bond is evident when you are with them and as I was editing it was visible in picture after picture.  The way he looks up to him….plays with his wedding ring….and wants to be just like him.

We got together on Father’s Day for this shoot…. it was a beautiful day and this family came in from a day at the lake to do pictures.   Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t know many dads who would be okay with doing family pictures on Father’s Day!  In looking back though, it seems absolutely fitting that it was on that day. 

I had a terrible time picking out my favorites from this session!  Here are just a few from the fun time that we had!

Isn’t she beautiful?  I think that she has the most amazing cheekbones…not to mention gorgeous blue eyes! 

I had the opportunity to photograph this fantastic family of 3 before it becomes a family of 4!  There is a whole series of shots taken in the tall grass which are my absolute favorite and I could have posted them all…however I refrained.  One thing that I need to mention about this shoot – and the tall grass pictures in particular is that there were bugs…and LOTS of them! Angela did an exceptional job posing in what we determined to be the home of the bugs and looking fantastic!  I am sure that there is modelling experience in her background somewhere : ) 

One of the things that was discussed when we met before the shoot was this tire of Kody’s and how it would be great to get some pictures of Jane with/in it during the shoot.  They had the awesome idea of doing baby pictures with Jane inside this tire shortly after she was born.  Talk about a sweet newborn shoot concept!  I love it!  Kody did an amazing job rigging up a support for this tire out of twigs, etc. so that we could use it for the shoot.  Including personal elements such as this makes my job even more fun and also makes the pictures more meaningful.

What an exciting time it is for this family!

How fun it was to photograph the Brown family!  It was extra special as this photoshoot was given as a gift from the girls to their dad for his birthday!  What a great idea!

I knew when I first saw everyone in purple that this was going to be a great session!  This family did an awesome job and worked hard at coordinating clothing…which just helps to make their images look even better. Take a great looking family…..dress them in a fabulous color….and tada!  (we will forget about all of the bugs that were out that night!)

The hardest thing about this shoot was picking out my favorite images to share on here!  There were so many!  Here are just a few of them….

Happy Birthday!

and we can’t forget about this little cutie!….

I love shooting engagement sessions and capturing two people that are in love and almost overflowing with excitement for their approaching wedding day. The way that they look at each other is special and is unique to just that time in their lives.

This Edmonton session was extra special to me as I have grown up with Dimitri for years. How wonderful it was to meet the woman that he has fallen in love with and that he is about to wed.  Jamie is absolutely beautiful and has these gorgeous blue eyes that were just stunning!  I can’t wait to see these two on their wedding day! 

So excited for you two!

check out how strong this girl is!….

After meeting 3.5 years ago in Fort McMurray, this great couple is going to be getting married in less than a month in Halifax!  What an exciting (yet busy) time for them both!

How wonderful it was to be asked to photograph their engagement session before they head east for their big day!  These two are so cute together and our time was filled with smiles and laughs…..not to mention hot shoes and graffiti!  My favorite! 

Wishing you both an amazing wedding day and incredible years ahead together!
