Before I started my photography journey I had no idea about the roller coaster that is the creative process. I find with client work I’m generally inspired as I’m in different homes with different light and I can always find new angles and framing options. But my own house? My own kids? A totally different […]

It’s an incredible honour to be named by ClickPro as one of the 100 female photographers to watch in 2020 (in the world….yikes!!). The best part of this accomplishment is that nominations for this list are made by industry peers, which means the best of the best put my name forward. Annnnnnd, nominations are made […]

“How long will it take you to edit this?” It’s a pretty common question that I get, but….the answer isn’t an easy one. It isn’t easy because every session really is different, but also because, if we’re talking about what goes into a session, it’s so much more than editing. So! I thought it might […]

If there’s one thing that I am firmly against in life, it’s saying “CHEESE”. 9 times out 10, cheese results in unnatural, forced smiles and just general silliness that isn’t what I’m after. So, what’s a mama to do, then? When you really want a photo of your kid but you’re getting that weird-serial-stalker face […]

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 it comes to my photography, I’m […]

2018. The year that my business rolled on ahead, growing for a 5th year in a row. The year that Jenny Rusby and I launched Unscripted and dove full force into mentoring other photographers. The year that I felt like I truly found my niche and my ‘people’. The year that I found experts in […]

Living in landlocked Alberta, you wouldn’t think that photographing my kids at the beach is one of my all-time favourite things to do, but it is! My girls are obsessed with the water and so whenever we go on vacation we aim to be around water somehow, whether that’s by a river, a lake or […]

Lately, I’ve had quite a few clients tell me that they were surprised how little I click the shutter during a session. I think it’s really interesting to hear, because from my side of the camera, my mind is always thinking and anticipating, and the click of the shutter is such a small part of […]

Like many families who live months upon months with snow, our garage becomes a disaster over the winter. Instead of organizing things outside, we just start tossing stuff in the garage, and then when spring rolls around and we finally emerge, we need to always spend a few days organizing it all again. Last week […]

2017. The year that will forever go down in memory as the year my business turned. The year that it all started to flow and that I believed this was actually going to work for the long term. The year I realized I had taken on way too much and had to say ‘no’ more […]
