Nico is Two!

Two years olds have so many amazing and intriguing qualities about them.  They are learning to communicate - and are learning to choose when they communicate! Choosing to say no.  Choosing to grace you with a look or a smile.  Many believe that this is a difficult age to photograph, but I love it.  I love that moment when you earn the trust - and get the look. Nico put us through the wringer, but at the end, I was completely exhilarated from his lovely energy.  

Here are a few preview shots from our shoot on the weekend.

Christy and Al

I shared some of Christy and Al's wedding photos a few months ago, but wanted to share their final painted image. I love the softness with a touch of grunge. 

Such a lovely reminder of what a beautiful day they had!

"Pinkie" fund raiser for Breast Cancer

I am so excited about this! I have 8x10 prints of my lovely "Pinkie" print available for a mere $25. These would be a super sweet gift for the little valentine in your life. And to make it better, a full 50% of the sale will go to support breast cancer. This is personal for me (as it is for too many people). I have had MANY people in my life affected by breast cancer and recently lost an old friend. Pinkie can be purchased in person at Gravity Kidz on 130th ave or by emailing me. It is also available on my Etsy site for those out of town! She is only available this way until Valentines Day, so get her now!

I heart Pinkie!!

Kash - 1 year!

 So so negligent with my posting.  These Life Art pieces were from a few months ago and as I was doing some routine tidying in my computer, I realized I hadn't posted them yet! These pieces were created from their own images to finish up Kash's 1 year album. Enjoy!!

Sarah, Jacques and the fur babies!

I love when I am asked to create images as gifts...especially as a surprise.  Jacques knew just what he wanted to give Sarah for Christmas - right down to adding Tucker in the top left corner. Puppies, a fabulous couple and lots of memories...all my fave elements!

Love you guys!

The Kitchens

We have so many gorgeous locations in Calgary shoot at.  So when Sandy Beach was suggested, I was so excited!  I had completely forgotten how amazing this part of the river valley is. Add in to it a completely photogenic and willing family and we had a recipe for a fabulous morning!

Here are a few of our favourite shots.

Ali, Dola and the kids!

 One of the best parts of being a photographer is watching a family grow, in all ways. I have known Ali and Dola for years and I love that I now get to know their kids as well.  Here are a few (long overdue) shots from their session this fall.

And more headshots....Abbey!

Abbey is an opera singer that I was fortunate enough to meet last week.  She has the coolest retro vibe about her and I was so inspired to work with her!  Here are a few of her fabulous shots.  I love how they came out, don't you?
