As a kid, when I’d stay overnight at my Grandparents’ farm, I always slept in a room that had a shelf running along the side of the bed packed with Reader’s Digests from years gone by. Hundreds of Readers Digests, all squished together – their spines making a rainbow across the shelf. I’d lay in […]

I hope you’re loving this Storytellers blog circle as much as I am. When I was learning photography, I soaked in every single ounce of knowledge that anyone would share with me, and even today, I love learning from other documentary photographers. There’s always something to learn. We all approach scenes and light differently, and each […]

“The littlest of details of our most regular day.” That was the answer to the question I ask every single client. If you could only have one image from your photo session what would it be? In this one question I can figure out the whole tone of a session. It gives me something to […]

A few weeks ago we loaded up the kids (along with 2 million snacks, road bingo cards, the ipad, the neck pillows and more children’s music than I’d like to admit) and hit the road for a family adventure. Road trips aren’t really my thing (says the girl who has to pee every 30 minutes), […]

Photographing Saturday mornings at home never gets old. It’s like the whole family has a collective chance to breathe easy and relax after a busy week. It also happens to be one of my favourite times with my own family, so when I’m able to capture it in stills for another family, I already know […]

The debate between my husband and me goes something like this…. Him: “How do you feel about looking at camping trailers this year?” Me: “So. Much. Work.” Him: “The girls are getting older, it won’t be that bad.” Me: “Maybe next year, when we don’t need to have an eye on them every second and have […]

The text message read, “The house looks like someone came trough and just ran their arm around the counter to knock stuff off all over the house”. It was from me to my husband, at about 4:30 pm on the 5th day of his shift set. I can always tell when we are on the last […]

I shot my first Day In The Life this past June as part of a photography workshop. I was instantly hooked and then did another one in July with the intention to keep doing it once a month. Best laid plans, right? It took me until November to gather up the gusto to take on […]

Sherwood Park Photographer When I’m not busy taking pictures of other families, you can almost bet that I have the camera pointed at my own. Since finishing my 365 project in May (a picture a day), I’ve been working on a few different personal projects. Focusing on certain projects allows me to practice my skills […]

Often times when I tell people that my passion is storytelling photography, I get sort of a puzzled look. I get it….it’s a different type of photography than many people are used to. I strongly believe that documenting the every day is just as important as having the smiling, happy family portraits. The every day […]
