30 Days of Black & White

Black and white photography truly speaks to my soul. I love the timeless feel it gives to images and I love seeing a deep and rich story told through a black and white. If I had an option I would shoot black and white 90% of the time. But every now and then I do love a splash of colour!

I’m currently part of a ClickinMoms Flickr group in which a collection of many other very talented photographers are sharing their black and white photos. We’ve committed to sharing one black and white photo each day for the next 30 days. I love having these challenges to stimulate my creativeness. I love seeing other photographers work and gathering inspiration from them.

Here are a few from the past week.

I had the joy of spending time with Sarah & Chris and their amazing family and her family extended last weekend! Last year I was able to photograph Chris’ extended family— and at that time they were a family of 3! Life changes so quickly and babies grow so quickly!

It was a joy to spend time with them in the ever so stunning U of L Science building! I fall in love with the symmetry every time!😂

Here’s a few favourites for our time together! They’ll be receiving so many beautiful images in their final gallery!🤩

It’s grad season!🤩🎉🌸💗 This is such an important time for so many- from the grads, to the parents and to all their loved ones!

High school goes so incredibly fast and it always surprises me how much growth and formation happens in that time!

Sophie is set to complete her final year soon and is excited for all the new adventures that will be coming her way next year!

The setting sun at #parklake was the perfect setting for some beautiful grad portraits of a beautiful young lady!💗 (and she had a great twirling dress!)

May has kicked off to a great start!🎉 This family session will be shared in two parts- first up are the family sneak peeks, next a grad share!

I think all of Southern Alberta was outside the last couple of days due to the 25+ degree weather! It’s so energizing and welcomed after a long winter!

I’m so happy that we were able to spend some time at #parklake for this beautiful family session. The water is still quite low so we had lots of beach front! Another month and it’ll be a whole different lake!

Here’s a few of my favourites from our session together! This family was a joy to photograph! Their grandparents joined in on some photos and it’s so nice that they now have these images to cherish for years to come!💗

One of the best things about being able to see my family last week was to hug them all! I’ve missed being able to do that!

Also, kids grow incredibly fast! The last time I saw these three kiddos was almost two years ago!🤯

We were treated with two beautiful weather days and one of them was scheduled as a photo session with my brother Greg & sis in law Karen and their three adorable kiddos!

When I see the stage of parenthood they are in now, it brings me back to the days when we were deep in the trenches of parenting littles! It’s exhausting and rewarding all at the same time!

Here’s some of my favourites from our time together at Mernum Beach just outside of #dunnville There’s so many more beautiful images to come!💗

This post is a little overdue but I finally had the time to collect some beautiful images from the Winkelaar’s extended family session

Just before heading to Ontario, I was able spend time with these 37 awesome people! They were the best subjects and we had a great time together capturing some new and updated pictures.

Life with lots of grand kiddos is never short of dull moments! They loved being able to squeeze their grandparents when I told them to get closer!💗

This is only a small collection of many beautiful images! Looking forward to delivering their full gallery soon!

Wedding days are full of many macro and micro moments. Often on our social feeds we are only shown the highlights and the must insta shots! But every day is filled with many little moments that really are the big ones that matter most.

Reception speeches are some of my favourite moments as they always reveal more layers of depth to my clients. I get to hear childhood memories, proud accomplishments and those early days of love blossoming.

Shin`s message to his parents transcended the language barrier and we all felt his words just by witnessing his parents reaction to his speech. Having lived away from his family for a number of years, he shared his appreciation to his parents in the sacrifices they made for him. I don`t think there was a dry eye in the room!

These are the memories I know will mean something to my couples as the years go by. It`s about their love but it`s also about the love shared for those surrounding them.

As photographers we get to be documenters of these moments, the important ones! These are the moments that continue to inspire and bring me joy! ❤

Trying new things can be daunting sometimes! I often get in my head and freeze rather than just doing something.

But here’s to trying new things and having fun doing it!

And if anyone has tips or tricks for BTS footage, let me know! I’m a great student!😂

I probably have said it before, but no wedding is the same. Yeah, we may pin the same pins and see the same trends everywhere, but in the end, your wedding is YOU!

There are many factors that go into each and every single wedding day the light, the time of year, the setting, the venue, the people and I could go on!

And here’s the truth no wedding should look the same. There’s so much joy in celebrating you and your uniqueness.⭐️

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing so many different weddings, and even though the same events happen at weddings, it it’s always different.

I love the joy, the expressions, the unique elements to each wedding day!

My one piece advice would be don’t stress in trying to make your wedding like everyone else’s! Just focus on what brings you joy!

This compilation of photos represents different weddings throughout the many years that I’ve been able to photograph weddings. 💗 Each of them is unique, and each of them brings their own joy!
