It is always fantastic to catch up with a family as they grow. When we first worked with these three, it was a few weeks after Violet was born.
Now she is running around and exploring like you wouldn't believe. One of the great things about this session was that we the entire shoot was shot in the small park behind their house. It is always so cool to have the location have a connection to the family.
Thanks guys for having. We look forward to the next round soon.
We met Leslie on the very first wedding Brad and I shot together. At that time, she was pregnant with her first. Now all these years later we had the pleasure of photographing the whole brood.
We took them to a spot downtown that we've wanted to shoot at for a long time. It offered such diverse settings and only within a block radius. We are really happy with how this session turned out. Check it out for yourself.
Another Portrait Blitz has come and gone and we've delivered the images to all of the families that participated in the event. We thought we'd share some of the images from the day with you.
We certainly had a great day with everyone. Big thanks to everyone who participated. It was great that we got to work with a mix of new clients and some loyal clients as well. We love seeing the young ones growing up from photo shoot to photo shoot!!
We plan on having more and more of these photo blitz events so make sure to "like" our Facebook page so you can get updates on exactly when we are having another event.
Take a look at some of the shots from our Fall Portrait Blitz below.

We love new born lifestyle sessions.
It it so great to take photos of a new family in their home, among their things. It gives the photos such a personal feel. Atticus' (or Bat-ticus as he was dubbed in the session) shoot is a great example of that. The warmth of the light in the sitting room. The family all dressed in their finest uniforms. This photo shoot screamed of the personality of this family.
We had such a great time working with these three. Hope you enjoy the glimpse at this fun session.
We captured a rainbow!
It was a bright one too. While traipsing through the river valley, trying to avoid the rain, we stopped to check a setting on the camera and when we looked up, we saw one of the clearest rainbows we had seen in a long time. Such a great thing to catch.
After that, we led Cassie and Drew under Saskatchewan Drive and over to the High Level Bridge for some night time shots. Pretty happy with how this session turned out.
Looking forward to this wedding next year.
Betts managed to wrangle up her family for family portraits this year. I was so glad she chose us to take the photos. And I was even more glad that the rain stayed away for the shoot!
We did the session downtown so we could get a good mix of nature and urban shots. The family was so good about zipping around to tons of different spots and it resulted in photos with so many different looks.
Take a look at a few examples from the session:

With election fever sweeping Alberta, I thought it time to post about my friend Sarah.
She is currently running for the Alberta New Democrats in the Edmonton Glenora riding.
I have known her for a long time. Sarah is one of the most honest, and dedicated public servants I've ever met. She has been a great advocate for the voices of students, teachers, and parents during her time as Chair of the Edmonton Public School Board.
She is one of the good ones. If you live in Glenora, give her page a look. You can also check her out on Facebook and Twitter.
Below, are some shots from the Glenora debate in which she participated last week where she did a fantastic job.
In any case, make sure your voice is heard on Tuesday, May 5th.
Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have.
I'm sure when people think of Edmonton, the below images are what come to mind. We shot this session right after some new fallen snow had blanketed the city. It was simply gorgeous outside. Such a perfect time for a photo session. Tossing snow in the air. Making fresh tracks. All of it in a place this family frequents on a regular basis.
This is Edmonton. This is one of the reasons we love living here. Enjoy.
With Jennifer & David's son Carter turning 2 months old recently, we thought it was high time we posted the photos we took of the couple as they were preparing for the arrival of the little guy!
We met on a chilly October evening to get some photos of the couple only a few short weeks before their son was due to be born. Carter joined Jennifer & David on November 3rd. We are very happy for them all!
Here is a look at some of the photos from that day:
Photo shoots with this great family have become an annual tradition. This year, we opted for the beautiful white snow of the River Valley. It may have been a little cold that day but these guy were troopers.
They ended up having fun in the snow and so did we. Hope you enjoy.
This family is a really close one to mine. Even though proximity wise that is not the case, when we get together we just pick up where we left off. Now our kids are the same way being so close in age.
I had done photos years ago for them when there were only 3 members to this family. Now there are 5. We head up to Lake Minnewanka on a cold November day before a massive snow storm. We had to be really quick but even so, I love the personality captured in the shots. I hope you do to.
We held our 2nd annual Fall Portrait Blitz on Sunday September 28th. We had 9 sessions that ran the gamut of all types of portrait sessions. There was a couple, a newly wed couple with their two dogs, a mother and her daughter, a few families, and a couple with their newborn baby. It was great to have such a variety for the day.
Thank you to all of the people who braved the chilly wind to join us for a great day! It was nice to see so many returning clients and equally nice to work with some new people.
Have a look below at a sampling of the images we captured on Blitz day.
I love at home new born sessions. There is something about capturing a young family in the place where they spend most of their time. In their element. I was so excited to meet Gwendolyn, especially because it gave me an excuse to reconnect with longtime friends Kim and Treena.
Enjoy these shots from the session.
How time flies!
Little Violet is already a year old. It really doesn't feel like that long ago that we took her newborn photos. This girl is so little put running around like crazy.
So also seemed fascinated by the camera. It was really fun to hang out with her again.
Enjoy a sample of what we got before her party.
This was our second time with this family and once again it was a lot of fun. It's great to see how much their son has grown in just a few years. We fought off the zillion mosquitoes that were swarming all around us and managed to get some nice shots on a beautiful evening.
Take a look at a sampling of the photos from the session.
She's just too cute! Every time I pointed the camera at her, she would just give the best looks. These three are long time friends and I was honoured to have them ask me to do a session.
It was so much fun watching her walk around and explore downtown. From the looks of it, she was having fun too.
Both Joelle and Andrew are really good friends of mine. I have had the pleasure of photographing their ever growing family over the years. Whether it be a maternity session, 1st year photos or them participating in our Fall Portrait Blitz last year, I feel like I have documented a great portion of their recent lives.
...and now they welcome George to the family. We actually got shot with everyone including the two dogs this time! Quite a feat! Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
This was such a treat!
I love doing pictures for family. My sister-in-law Dawn has been asking me to do photos of her and her girlfriend Kaitlin for a while. So when we finally get time, it is of course on the windiest and coldest day of the year. I think the tears in our eyes froze.
We still got some fun stuff. Kaitlin also got a few done with her brother Jamie. Not a bad Christmas present. We then quickly ducked intoa building and used their staircase for some of the warmer shots.
Enjoy!
The Yaghi family are expecting their second child about a month from now but Nora was a trooper throughout this shoot. We managed to get a good assortment of photos in a fairly small area so she didn’t have to walk around too much. Thankfully there were still some leaves on the trees – they really seemed to disappear overnight this year.
I hope you can tell from these photos just how cute their son is. He was hilarious! We had a lot of fun on this photo shoot and we wish them all the best as they prepare to welcome their new addition.
One of the things we really love about shooting weddings is meeting the bridal party that surrounds the couple on their big day. Last year, when Brad & I shot Robert & Melissa's wedding at TELUS Field, we got to know their friends.
Since then, we are now booked to shoot the wedding of Alicia and Rob and a few weeks ago got to shoot another bridesmaid Karena and her husband Justin. We had been planning it for a few days and it turned out that the day we finally chose, was the first big snow of the season.
We ran outside, got some quick shots around Saskatchewan Drive, then headed into the Three Boars restaurant to warm up (and snap a few shots).
Enjoy!
