I’d like you to meet my dear friend, Roberta, and her darling family. Roberta and I have been friends for over 18 years!! We have so many fond memories and continue to make them. She is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful people I know and I’m grateful to have her as my friend. It was an absolute privilege to be able to photograph her and her family. Thanks for the great night you guys!
JOANNA | Maternity Photos
Check out this beautiful mom’s maternity photos!! Joanna and her hubby are expecting baby number 6. That’s right, SIX! Can you believe it?? Even though she expressed she was somewhat (read extremely) concerned about having maternity photos done, she honestly looked gorgeous!! I photographed the birth of her last baby and she joked she was more comfortable with those than with maternity photos. I hope I helped ease her nervousness, as any photographer would be lucky to photograph her. And that baby bump couldn’t get any cuter!!
I’m lucky to have awesome photographer friends who are willing to let me borrow their outfits and props. Laura Taylor has an amazing stash of stunning maternity gowns and let us borrow a few for the shoot. I love the white lace maternity gown Joanna chose from the few that I gathered. Thank you Laura!! The dress worked PERFECT!
Oh, and if you’re wondering if Joanna’s having a boy or girl, you’ll have to wait a few more weeks – with mom and dad – to find out what the sex is! Until then, take a look at this beautiful mom of soon to be 6!
Van de Walle
I recently had a fabulous session with the Van de Walle family. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I truly have the best clients ever! This family was no exception either. I love working with them! They are a kind, sweet and thoughtful family, and let’s be honest, such a good looking bunch! Mom had them dressed adorable in navy and yellow, and I love the cream dress with floral crown (that mom made!) for their little girl’s 1st birthday photos.
FALL FAMILY PHOTOS
I love fall, especially for family photos! Let me stop for a second to tell you that I am seriously the luckiest photographer in the world. My clients are always so wonderful to work with. That’s true of my session with the Fairbanks family, too!
I met up with them at Edworthy Park (you know it’s one of my favorite locations!) and the weather was perfect for fall family photos. While the weather was nice, it was this darling family that made this shoot such a treat. The boys were so well behaved and we had a blast throwing rocks in the river. Plus, as an added bonus, their mom had them dressed adorable!! I love the greys and blues she chose. Perfect for such handsome little men.
BRITT + DALIN | CALGARY TEMPLE WEDDING
I am so excited to share the wedding of Brittany and Dalin, who are such a wonderful couple. They were married in the Calgary Temple on a VERY wet and VERY windy day, but that didn’t stop them from enjoying every second. Really, I don’t think I have experienced wind that strong in Calgary, ever. The wind was ripping umbrellas and nearly knocking people over! Crazy!! But Brittany and Dalin were all smiles. They looked so happy. Brittany looked stunning in her champagne lace wedding dress and I loved that the bridesmaid all wore different dresses all in cream. The whole bridal party looked fantastic.
Thankfully the rain stopped later in the day and the wind had settled a little bit, so we were able to get the family photos in before the reception started. Britt and Dalin’s reception was held at the Wainwright Hotel at Heritage Park. It was decorated simply lovely with vintage touches and soft pink accents. Their reception was a great celebration surrounded by family and close friends. I’m grateful to have been able to be a part of their special day.
I had to throw this group shot in, it was just too funny. The wind was HORRIBLE that day! I’m so glad they all could laugh about it.
