AMELIA- Waterton Maternity Photos

June 26, 2017 By Alysha Sladek

Check out this fabulous Waterton maternity session. Waterton is so lovely, it could not have been more perfect for this maternity session! We may have had a couple run ins with the wildlife (mountain goats, coyote, BEAR), but thankfully we were safe. The animals were just giving us a show haha!

Amelia was 32 1/2 weeks for her maternity session (with baby number 6, I might add!!) and wasn’t sure what to wear. I knew if we were shooting in Waterton it had to be something out of the ordinary. Thank goodness for wonderful photographer friends who let me borrow their props and clothes. Thanks Laura! The maternity dresses looked amazing on Amelia and they were absolutely wonderful for this Waterton maternity session!!

I asked Amelia “what’s one piece of advice you’d give to other expecting moms for their session?” and this is what she had to say… “Relax and enjoy! Trust Alysha because she knows what she’s doing and know what looks good. Give yourself and your posing over to to her 🙂 She will make great things happen.” Thanks for that, Amelia, and I agree with her!  First of all, relax and enjoy it!!! I don’t want your session to be stressful! And I want you to be able to have fun. When you’re able to relax it shows in the photos and you’ll love them that much more. Second, whether it be a maternity or family session or whatever, I will do my best to find the best lighting and the best angles for you. I want you to feel beautiful, because you are!

It just so happens that I was lucky enough to find out what Amelia and her husband will be naming their little man, but I’ll let her share that when the time comes. I do want to share something else she said about his name, which I thought was the sweetest! Amelia said she thinks his middle name will be Justin, after his dad. “His dad is an incredible man and he would be lucky to have his name! I hope he is just like him.” How sweet is that! I’m so excited for you, Amelia, and cannot wait to meet baby #6!

JULIE + RYAN – Wedding

November 9, 2016 By Alysha Sladek

I am delighted to announce Ryan and Julie’s wedding!!! These two tied the knot at Cherry Creek Estate just outside of Kimberley, BC and it couldn’t have been more perfect!bride and groom

Ryan and Julie met online and after a few years of dating, he attempted to propose on the top of Machu Pichu! I say attempted because of a series of events on the ever long trail he ended up waiting four days after their hike to Machu Pichu and proposed while the two were sitting in a hammock in Peru. How perfect does that sound?! You can read their proposal story here.

Julie and Ryan decided to do a first look before the ceremony started. I loved the look on his face when he first saw her! The two of them were just beaming!

The wedding was truly beautiful. The ceremony was lovely and they were surrounded by family and close friends. Julie looked stunning in her wedding gown and her bouquet and long veil (perfect for a windy day) were beautiful. What made things even more perfect was the fact that the fountain went off behind them right when they had their first kiss and husband and wife.

After the ceremony, we headed out for formal photos. The grounds were beautiful and the people at Cherry Creek Estate were wonderful and drove us around to get to different locations. There were so many beautiful options for photos at Cherry Creek! The Buggy Barn was awesome for the groomsmen! And, we even drove out to a place with the mountains in the background, which was perfect as Ryan and Julie really wanted the mountains in some of their wedding photos.

Their reception was also pretty wonderful and was held inside a beautifully decorated barn with details to represent the couples’ interests. The homemade jam favors were darling, and I loved that they had special coloring books and crayons for the kids (and a few of the adults too 🙂 )! The food was amazing and the slideshow and letter from Ryan’s grandpa back in Eastern Canada were awesome!! I even snuck this wonderful couple out mid-reception to grab a few photos with the horses!! Julie loves horses so this was a perfect end to a perfect day! Thanks for letting me share your special day with you, Ryan and Julie, and I wish you all the best!

Winter Maternity

February 2, 2016 By Alysha Sladek

I had the most wonderful winter maternity session with this lovely lady. Maren and her hubby are officially expecting a little lady to join their family of 6! Yup, this is baby number 5! Doesn’t she look amazing! This little bundle of cuteness is set to arrive in February and mom and dad cannot wait for her arrival. So far, Maren has had a somewhat tough pregnancy, but things are looking up in the last trimester and she is counting down the days until little miss is welcomed to the world.

I’m so glad Maren decided to brave the snow!  We met in Red Deer at the Kerry Wood Nature Center and it was the perfect winter wonderland for her winter maternity photo session.

Salt Lake Temple Wedding

September 16, 2015 By Alysha Sladek

I’ve got another beautiful wedding for you guys today! The adorable couple consists of Zac (who just so happens to be my cousin) and Maddie, two people that anyone would love to know. My hubby and I decided to make this a family trip as the wedding was in Utah and I’m so glad we did! My girls fell in love with Maddie when they first met her and the boys couldn’t wait to hear all about Zac playing football for Southern Utah University. What was even better was that Zac and Maddie were so kind and thoughtful and didn’t mind all the questions and the little kids wanting to be around them.

Zac and Maddie’s wedding day was truly wonderful. You could feel the love they have for each other. They had a beautiful Salt Lake Temple wedding. If you ever have a chance to visit Salt Lake make sure to visit the temple grounds. They are absolutely stunning!! Zac and Maddie’s reception was held at The Vista at Cedar Hills Golf Club, and it was simply beautiful. The decorations were lovely and everyone had a blast with the Photobooth Bus! My kids absolutely loved it and we even managed to fit my whole “little” family in for a quick picture. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of your special day Zac and Maddie, and wish you all the best!

Abbott’s Family Photos

February 26, 2015 By Alysha Sladek

This was another great family I was able to photograph while in Hawaii. They were a blast! I love that they have 3 boys and 2 girls like me – I can just see this being my little family in a few years. I think it’s so important to have family photos taken to capture your family the way it is at that point in time. Kids grow way too fast and it’s easy to forget what things were like, but having family photos gives you that little glimpse into what everyone was like. It’s such a treasure to have!
