I adore this family. Natalie is a friend and our sons are friends too. Natalie is an amazing mom, who loves her kids and would do anything for them. She is a strong woman, and doesn't let anythign stand in her way of success. Adrian and Logan are great kids too, they love their mama to the moon and back! All 3 of them are lucky to have one another.

Calvin & Tianna | Sturgeon County Maternity Photographer

Calvin and Tianna, such a beautiful couple and a new mommy and daddy! I loved shooting their maternity session and they did such a great job, I love every photo! Their little bundle was already born and will be featured shortly!

Sophia | Barrhead Newborn Photographer

I was so thrilled to be capturing Sophia's newborn photos! Her parents, Victoria and Steven, are an amazing couple. They are sure to be pretty incredible parents I'm sure. We had a bit of a tough time settling this little cutie but once we did she was a little angel. She arrived just before Easter so I had this idea of making her a pussywillow crown, turned out great! She was a pussywillow princess!

Natalie | Edmonton Portrait Photographer

Meet Natalie. Another amazing mom who loves her babies with all of her heart! And it showed in this session. I think all moms who talk about their children will be emotional in some way or another. It's just natural to feel and show that when talking about our little people that we love and devote our lives to helping grow and become good people. We had a lot of laughs and tears, but it's all part of our life as moms. 

NATALIE

How many kids do you have and what are their ages?

Logan is 11 and Adrian is going to be 8

What do they love?

Adrian is addicted to gymnastics, absolutely loves gymnastics. Logan's into dirt biking, that's his favorite. 

What is the silliest thing they've done?

This is a good one hummm. 
Adrian talks in an English accent....haha...she changes her accent up every now and then. This is hard......I'll think of them at like 3 o'clock in the morning, I'll be like oh my god that was so funny! 
They both love to do pranks, whether it be trying to prank someone in the house, like put tape over the faucet....it makes a mess and I usually get angry....haha! 

What trait of yours shows in each of them?

This is where the tears come.....haha! The fear of failure, Logan got that one. I think Adrian got my sense of humor, it's kind of dry. Adrian has this huge heart, they both do, they are both all about helping other people. Logan is a very sensitive boy, if he's scared to do something he won't do it, he'll just shut down.

What do you hope they remember most about you when they are a parent?

I want them to remember I was fun. I wanna be the fun mom. That's the biggest, I want them to remember us having fun together. 

What is your favorite memory of them "just being a kid"?

We took them to Disneyland and it was a once in a lifetime thing so it was cool to watch them enjoy that and just play. That was a really good memory. Camping, we used to do a lot of camping as a family....camping is huge. 

What does being a mom mean to you?

Raising two grown ups to come into this world and be two really good grown ups, I just want to make sure they grow up to be amazing people. That's what being a mom is, making sure that I can do that for two people, for my two people...my babies. 

Katelyn | Edmonton Portrait Photographer

KATELYN

What is the silliest thing they've done?

Everything, he's really silly. He's silly everyday.

What trait of yours shows in each of them?

Stubbornness....lol. Um he loves food as much as I do....haha.

What do you hope they remember most about you when they are a parent?

My love, the sacrifises. Not my cooking skills...lol. Patience and love, I'd like to pass that on.

What is your favorite memory of them "just being a kid"?

There are a lot of good memories. We have favorite memories every weekend, we love camping together, we do everything together. He's a great kid.

What does being a mom mean to you?

Being a mom means watching yourself grow up, I mean it was for me because I was a young mom, so yeah he's my wingman, he's awesome.

Victoria | Stugeon County Maternity Photographer

When Victoria emailed me and told me she was pregnant I was so happy for her and Steven. I love when a past bride and groom contact me to capture their growing family. It truly is an honor. Watching the moments in a couples lives is amazing, but being able to capture those moments with photographs is even better. I get to be there when they say I do, when they let the world know they are expecting and when the new little bundle arrives. There's really nothing better.

The Haig Family | Morinville Family Photographer

This is Jenn and her family. Jenn is a local photographer also so it was an honor when she asked me to capture her family.Her two little girls are so cute, althought he smallest one wanted nothing to do with these photos....hahaha! I had to head sswap alot :) And the had just gotten and new member of the family, Beau the adorable doggy., so we had to include him of course. Good thing I brought my son with me, as Beau tried to escape more then once.....like 6 times...haha! I wanted to steal him and take him home, he was so fluffy!

Caitlyn & Richard's Wedding | Canmore Wedding Photographer

This was my first destination wedding, so when Caitlyn and Richard asked me to shoot their wedding in Canmore I was thrilled. Although it isn't a far destination, it was still my first one so I was excited. AND it was my first mountain wedding, a double wammy for me!

They are such a sweet couple and so in love with eachother, the love just pours out when you see them together. A beatiful intimate ceremony at The Nordic Centre and just near that was the water reserve, which has mountains all around it and made for gorgeous photos. The entire place is a perfect place for photos actually.

And if you remeber their engagement photos you will know that their hedgehog was there too :)

And here is the hedgehog :)

Caitlyn wanted me to capture a shot of her, her mother and mer grandmothers wedding rings. Three generations and they are all such unique pretty rings.

Nathan & Marie's Wedding | Smoky Lake Wedding Photographer

Marie and Nathan had a beautiful wedding held on his land near Smoky Lake. We were right off of a little lake and it was so pretty. Another outdoor wedding, my favorite, in the warm sunny summer air. We didn't have to travel to do the formal shots which is always awesome. The ceremony location was lovely enough that we just stayed there.

This was also my biggest bridal party ever. 16! Actually I think they are tied with another wedding couple I shot. Either way I was feeling a bit worried before the wedding, 16 people can be tough to wrangle together and make sure they pay attention and stay on track. But this group was perfect, they stayed and did whatever the bride wanted.....and me too of course :) The guys went off with my second shooter Amy for some shots while I photographed the bride and groom. It was a beautiful wedding and I am so happy for you two! Congrats again!
