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 […]

There’s a question that comes up in almost every session I do and it goes something along the lines of, “So, how much do you really edit? Can you take this out or that out?” The thing is…. There’s no straight answer to this question.  Sometimes I edit an image heavily and it takes working […]

the gear that is in my camera bag for a newborn or family photo session

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 […]

Is there anything worse than thinking you booked a kickass campsite, only to get there and realize that you’re in the middle of a wide-open field with not a playground or a sandpit in site for your kids to play in? Ok, yes, there are worse things (like snow in August, which I know from […]

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.

When I arrived for our pre-session meeting in Sherwood Park with this family, I immediately knew that our session was going to be FUN. It was the day before Halloween, and in the middle of the living room was a very accurate replica of a train engine, including working tail lights. The train was Ben’s […]
