You did it! You’ve just had a baby. Phew! But now….. Now you have to look presentable for photos. WHAT? đ± You’re still getting into a routine, have no idea which way is up, feel like your body isn’t your own and have eaten eggs for the last 6 meals. (Ok, maybe the egg thing […]

One of my favourite aspects of photographing in the style I do is that I’m able to travel incredibly light. I think sometimes when you think of a photographer you imagine lights, backdrops, tripods and reflectors…and, yes, some photographers DO use all of those things, but not me.

When T emailed me about a family photo session in their Fort Saskatchewan home she mentioned that since becoming a mom she had a zillion photos of her husband and baby and the odd selfie of herself and her son, but no real photos that showed her interaction with her son and husband.

Swaddles that you love and that you won’t tire seeing in photos years from now. Claire’s mom chose the most adorable Aloha swaddle from Coco Moon Hawaii that was the perfect fit. Walking […]

I tend to compartmentalize my work. I work on one session, deliver it, and then move onto the next, so to see Fiddle Leaf Photography work that spanned a whole year all in just over a minute makes me super emotional. At the end of 2015 I made quite a few changes in my business […]

It’s time again for another entry in the Storytellers blog circle! If you missed last month, you can catch up here. I usually have such a hard time narrowing down images for a blog post, but as soon as I set up this image, I knew instantly it was going to be the image for this […]

Three years ago, when I first started doing sessions for other families it was something fun to do that was able to help my family by bringing in a bit of extra income. I was invested in the images and was so thankful for my clients, but it ended there. The beauty of being human though, […]

Do you ever wish kids clothes came in adult sizes? I do! Plus, kids really are able to pull off most trends with such ease, aren’t they? Before every family photo session I chat with Mom about what to wear. I’m not one for too many rules – especially during a photo session; my general […]
