Nick & Brandi

I met up with this family a couple of weeks ago in Red Deer, and I FINALLY am getting  a chance to blog about our session! It was a little bit cold this day, but once we started taking pictures, I don't think anyone seemed to notice. The boys did such a great job and I am pretty sure I heard Nick tell Brandi he would agree to family pictures once a year. Brandi, you better hold him to that!!

Here are some of my favs from that day:

Mike & Sabrina

I actually found Sabrina, she didn't find me. Sabrina had an ad on kijiji. She was looking for a wedding dress and she was on a tight budget, so her ad was asking if anyone might have one that they could donate. Well I didn't have a dress -- but I have a camera and my time. So I contacted her and offered to take photos of her wedding.  It was finally the big day on Saturday and it was such a beautiful and personal wedding ceremony. Mike and Sabrina have two cute daughters that they involved in the ceremony as well as their three dogs. You can tell their family is close and has so much love. I wish you two all the best in the future, thank you for letting me part of your special day!

Mike, Dallas & Lisa

When I think of Dallas, the phrase "it's a small world" comes to mind. Dallas and I have crossed paths in our lives quite a few times and I was thrilled when she asked me to do family pictures for her. I have been so lucky to be invited to my client's homes to check out all of the new and fun spots they have to offer for shooting great family pics. We met at her parents house and they had tons of great places for us to go. Lisa, I hope your poor ankles survived our hike in the bush. I'm jealous I didn't stay longer to take part in your slip and slide! Here are a few of my favorites from our fun day:

Cody and Charlotte Engagement

I have known Charlotte for awhile now and I still remember the day she texted me to tell me Cody proposed to her. When she contacted me to do these photos for her she told me that Cody really wanted to do them at his parents house. I am always up for new locations so I followed them out there, and let me tell you I was in heaven! The house was on a cliff overlooking the river valley. It was absolutely stunning.

Thank you Cody for being up for anything and being so excited for this shoot and Charlotte I hope you got all the burrs out of your clothes!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I can't wait for your wedding this June!!

Shawn & Shannon

I met up with this awesome family on Sunday. Their little girl was so happy and always smiling, it was so easy to work with her! Thank you Shawn and Shannon for trusting me to climb trees and letting me dress up your sweet little girl in my pumpkin tutu! I had so much fun with this family and I can only hope that once I have kids they are as happy and easy going as Sierra. Some of my favs from that session:

Damien & Sara

When Sara asked me to do family pictures for her she told me she had a spot in mind.... so I followed her and Damien out to the country and we just started shooting. I had so much fun with their family and they were up for anything! We even drove through the river because it looked better from the other side. Thank goodness we had Damien's truck because there is no way my car would have made it through. Here is a sneak peek:
