My sweet friend Amy and I have made somewhat of a tradition taking photos under stressful situations haha. Last year when we did these minis she was on her way to Seattle and waited until after our session to drive there from Salmon Arm, at 9pm! This year she had just picked her boys up from their dad in Chase 15 min before our session started, after driving all the way from Portland, making it just in time for the last little bit of the days light. They had been away from Amy for about a week so this session was full of cuddles and love for their momma.

So, for those that might not know this woman (but let's be honest, I know most of you do haha), this is my sweet friend Sarah Cornish of My Four Hens Photography. We have been social media friends for what seems like forever and last weekend we finally had the chance to meet in person in her stretch of the Rockies way down in Colorado! It should come as no surprise that she is just the sweetest, kindest, most honest person. With 6 kids in tow we trekked up to Estes Park, CO and wow, even though I shoot in the Canadian Rockies 90% of the time and have seen my fair share of mountains, the park there is insane with beauty and did not disappoint ...

Back in the spring of last year, I was contacted by my sweet friend Posy Quarterman about speaking at this new workshop put on by four pretty fantastic boss ladies that focused SOLEY on the genre of family photography. After suffering with the stigma that family photography was not viewed as important as other genres (i.e.. weddings) and being told by their peers that photographers that only shoot family's would never be able to make the money that wedding photographers make, they decided to push back and create something that nobody has. They want to empower us, to let people know that yes, we ARE worth it and family photography IS worth eve ...

Just a quick weekend trip to the mountains with my littles. This is definitely one of my most favourite spots in Banff and the day we went was perfect. usually when we take the boys to the mountains, we adventure during the day and end up having to shoot in direct high noon sun but that day was the perfect mixture of clouds and not too cold.

The boys and I set out to the mountains at the beginning of November to enjoy one of the last - and very unusual - warm days of the year (it was 14C degrees that day!) for one of our favourite shops in Edmonton, Shop The Skinny! We stayed at one of our favourite places in Dead Man's Flats and it has the cutest little abandoned cabin & windmill ever. I've been wanting to photograph the boys here forever and now was the perfect opportunity! After lunch we zipped up the mountain to spray lakes and pulled over at the absolutely most gorgeous location. It was so perfect....the crisp smell of the trees and fresh snow.....I could believe how ...

I think I have found a new love. Elopements are such a beautiful intimate setting for two people to share their vows and express their love for one another. Why not save a ton of money and plan an adventure in the mountains (or wherever!) with just the two of you or only the closest of family members?! Well, and me of course ;) Dust & Kitty traveled all the way from Hong Kong for photos at Moraine Lake! While they technically got married a few months prior, they did not have a photographer at their wedding. Dust is a fellow tattooer and a good friend of my husbands, so when he emailed me and asked if I would photograph their "elopement ...
