No words.  Just loads of sweet, snuggly baby!

Take Me Back!

There is not much that makes me happier than combining my two passions, photography and travel... I seriously cannot begin to describe just how fantastic it makes me feel.... but let's go with ecstatic!!  And what a pleasure to hang out with such rad people on one of Maui's insanely beautiful beaches.  It was actually a little painful editing this session, pretty sure my entire being was trying to will myself back into this gorgeous place.  Amy and Sean, I hope that you guys LOVE your sneakpeek and I really hope we meet again in the future!To my fellow travellers: Amy is actually a wonderful photographer herself!  You can check her out at www.amyjshort.com.  If you are headed to Maui (and can't bring me along, wink. wink.)  I strongly recommend getting ahold of her.P.S.  Please excuse the weird magenta cast my photos tend to get when uploaded to my blog :(.  Or better yet, if you know how to fix it shoot my an email!!  TIA

Love First | Ashley + Lara

Last month I had the honour of documenting Ashley and Lara's wedding day.  They both looked stunning in their wedding attire (inside and out) and had beside them a wonderful group of ladies (including a former bride, gotta love seeing a familiar face!!).  It was an absolute pleasure working with you all, nothing makes me happier then preserving such precious memories!And on a more personal note:  Being from a small (mostly) conservative prairie town it wasn't surprising to see my Facebook feed light up with both support and dismay over the recent law changes in the United States.  I came across this post and found myself nodding and exclaiming EXACTLY! as read it."No issue brings out so much hatred from so many [Christians] as homosexuality.  The level of hatred around homosexuality is nearly unbelievable to me, especially when I think of all of the wonderful LGBT friends I have.

The Church must do a much better job of teaching what the Catechism says: that we should treat our LGBT brothers and sisters with "respect, sensitivity and compassion."But God wants more. God wants us to love. And not a twisted, crabbed, narrow tolerance, which often comes in the guise of condemnations, instructions and admonitions that try to masquerade as love, but actual love.Love means: getting to know LGBT men and women, spending time with them, listening to them, being challenged by them, hoping the best for them, and wanting them to be a part of your lives, every bit as much as straight friends are part of your lives.Love first. Everything else later. In fact, everything else is meaningless without love." FR. James Martin, SJ

Robyn + Ryan

SAM + BEN | LACOMBE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

A little look at Sam and Ben's GORGEOUS wedding.  I couldn't have been happier to spend the day with such wonderful folks. The entire day was filled to the brim with laughs and hugs (and lot's of kisses).

A little sneak-peek for a wonderful couple! Congratulations Robyn and Ben, it was so great to be a part of your big day!!

The Herlein Family | Edmonton Family Photographers

Well we had our work cut out for us with full afternoon sun and the most mosquitos I have ever encountered on a shoot (seriously it was insane). But, the Herleins were total troopers and I had an awesome time working with them. Best of all, we came away with some fantastic photos! Hope you love your sneakpeek!
