A while back I once again collaborated with the fabulous Ange from Kenneth Blair in Lloydminster for another fun editorial photoshoot.  We decided to have some fun with this and go with a burlesque theme which we subsequently titled Rouge-Noir.  As was to be expected the models, Haley, Karlee, & Taylor, were fabulous and totally got into character which made it all the more fabulous to photograph them!  The shoot was definitely a great time and since the beautiful Taylor is also a wonderful dancer we ended the shoot with some fun shots of her doing some ballet moves :)

Here are the favorite photos from Rouge-Noir :)

Thanks again ladies, it was great working with all of you!

A while back I posted my favorites from the Karuss Family's awesome lake lifestyle session.  Well here is a slideshow with even more photos to check out :) 

Well I am back after a very busy but wonderful Christmas season and after my family's annual Lake Louise New Years Trip, which was as always fabulous!

I decided to start this year's first blog with one of my most favorite engagement sessions of last fall (yes it appears I am still playing catch up with posts, but better late than never ;)).  My beautiful friend Echo got engaged last fall to the ever handsome Shay.  Seriously, these two are gorgeous!  They met at a church function and as Shay says it was love at first sight and he knew the moment he met her, he would marry her, yeah I kind of melted when he told me this!  After months of dating Shay took Echo on a drive in the rain and pulled over by the river and in his hand was a box of shoes that she had been eyeing.  Echo opened the box only to find a beautiful ring that Shay designed for her on the heel of one of the shoes and right there in the rain he got on one knee and proposed!  Well we all know her answer and I was so excited when they booked me to be their wedding photographer!  

First up was the engagement session, we drove out to Echo's parent's place North of Lloydminster and wow was the landscape in the countryside every beauitful.  They are not far from the river valley and as you will see the area was so fantastic for photos.  I had so much fun photographing these two, they are so in love that it seriously makes my job so easy!  Echo being a true county girl even took off her heels to walk in bare feet across a ridge to this perfect spot with one lone tree, it was farther than we realized but definitely worth the walk!

Here are some of my favorites from the session.  I cannot wait to photograph Echo and Shay's winter wedding this February, you both are so fabulous!

 I photographed the Krauss family this summer at their family cabin at Loon Lake, Saskatchewan.  While the day did not start out perfectly with the clouds, wind, and slight rain it couldn't have turned out any better for photos!  I had so much fun photographing this family, I have gotten to know Katherine well this past year as we are both part of the local triathlon club but feel as though I got to know her family so much more from getting to photograph them.  There is so much love between them and it was great to all the personalities of the kids shine through in the photographs, especially the little ones as they are only going to be that age once and I love that I was able to capture some of that childhood magic and innocence for Katherine.  

Here are some of my favorites from the session below, enjoy :)
