White shirts and blue jeans. Mom, Dad, kiddos. Everyone. All in a line and smiling at the camera. The hair is shellacked and there smiles are a bit too forced. I’ll let that image (it’s probably from the 90s) sink into your brain for a moment. Ok. Now let’s push it far, far away. Why, you […]

The thing about photography is that it’s only a glimpse into a fraction of a second of someone’s life. That tiny slice of time has the ability to tell an amazing story all on it’s own, full of details, emotion and narrative. But, behind every image there is an artist. An artist with a method of work […]

{Baby Photographer Edmonton} Think about 6 months. 182 days. 262,800 minutes. Does it feel like forever? Or just a blink in time? In 6 months leaves fall from tree branches, and then snow melts away bringing fresh life. 12 episodes of Scandal air. 28,800 babies are born in Alberta. Seeds are planted leading to bountiful vegetable harvests. In 6 months […]

This was one of the last frames I shot at a recent newborn photo session. It was a spur of the moment image – I’d asked Mom if she’d be ok taking baby’s shirt off so I could get a few detail shots of her tiny belly button. It was a total in-between moment which became […]

Working from home can be lonely. Like talk to your computer and hope it talks back lonely. I routinely bounce ideas off my husband but sometimes I need to hash ideas out with someone who is in the business. Enter, monthly meetings with my friend Katie. They are half meeting, half escape from the house. The ‘meetings’ take […]
