This brand new engagement tip blog post is looonnnng overdue! I wrote this blog post (9 Tips to a Successful Engagement Session) over six years ago and I wanted to re-vamp it and bring some new thoughts and tips to the forefront. Since the last post, I’ve been able to do so many engagement sessions...
When will my images be ready? This is question that is asked usually in the initial meeting that I have with my clients. It’s one that almost everyone asks at some point in our correspondence. You come to our session together or you’ve just had your wedding day, we have a great time together, smiling,...
This holiday season not only brings emotions of good tidings and cheer, it also brings the emotion of love and reflection. Statistics show that many dating couples will get engaged over the Holiday season. This is super exciting! Not only do you get to celebrate a great time of year with friends and family, you...
I’m sure that when you read the title of this blog post you are wondering what is she talking about? I think you should sneak out your wedding reception and I’m here to tell you why! Trust me, its a good reason! If you have invested in a full day of photography coverage, a special bonus...
I’ve been able to document a number of first looks at some recent weddings and I’m personally really loving the results of them. When I got married over 14 years ago now, they weren’t a thing. I’m loving this trend and although its not very new anymore, I wanted to write a quick blog post...

Whew! January is BEHIND us now! And I am super thankful. #tbh January is my least favourite month of the year. For a variety of reasons, it just holds the top place of worst month ever lol! But we made it through!!
February is going to fly by and before we know it summer time weddings and family sessions will be in full swing. This year is shaping up to be pretty amazing and I can`t wait to share it here!
The off season for photographer`s is often filled with behind the scenes work: second shooting editing, website updates, education, and the ever long list of blogging!
I`m always thankful for the down time to refocus, to create goals and plan for the future!
Photos taken on assignment for @jessicacrandellphoto I think the stars in this series of photos are the animals! 😂

✨👀 Watch Me Edit 👀✨
As I was shooting this gorgeous maternity session last fall, a couple of walkers passed us by in the background and yelled, “I hope we don’t photobomb you!” I knew that they would and rather than pausing, I kept on shooting.
@lightroom is simply the bomb and I literally use it for about 99% of my editing. Their AI generative feature is killer! I have used it SO MUCH since it’s been released. It helps me get rid of fly away hairs, mosquito bites, photobombers and so much more. This is one feature I’ve been again and again thankful for!
Here’s a quick fun video of me editing out those nature walkers! It’s just a basic AI fix bit still shows the power of the tool!

This gorgeous #bridgerton inspired styled shoot is up on the blog!! It was such a joy to be able to participate in such a beautifully curated styled shoot!
And I’m super pumped to be shooting again at the venue in the coming months! Can’t wait to get back!🤩

One more sneak peek for this week!! See my rhyming skills…as my teenager would say, they are fire!🤣
All Josie wanted for her maternity session was snow- and she got it!❄️ We also happened to get cold temps with that snow! But you can hardly tell from these photos are these two made sure to get cozy!
Josie and Harrison are expecting their first bundle of joy in the coming weeks and they couldn’t be more excited! They made sure to prioritize the importance of this moment in their lives to have it documented. I’m so glad I was able to help capture some beautiful maternity photos for them!
Be sure to hit that ‘follow’ button if you haven’t already to see more from this wintery maternity session in Lethbridge.💗
✨ Oh and be sure to swipe to the end to see my favourite image!😂
Here’s the first look of this new family of three…or five including the fur babies!! I always forget how tiny brand new babies are and this sweet little squish simply was the cutest.
Sweet baby L is already so very loved by his parents and his fur siblings! As life with a newborn is always filled with lack of sleep, constant attention and so many new routines, Kim and Ricky are doing a fantastic job as new parents!💗
I’m so glad they now have this important moment on their lives documented as these new little ones change so so quickly!
Be sure to follow along to see more from this beautiful newborn session!🥰
Crazy to say goodbye to 2024!! 🤯 So many great things happened this year, and I have much to say, but I have too many things to do today- including packing up Christmas! So I’m signing off until new year!! Happy New Year’s everyone!! 🎉🤩🥳
Christmas is one of the highest engagement seasons…next to Valentine’s! So in honour of all the Christmas engagements….and congrats 🎉…I wanted to share a few more images from Sydney & Hazen’s session a few weeks back!!💗
If you know of someone who got engaged over the holidays, shout them out below!!🤩
This is togetherness, a new future, and a new journey. This is husband and wife. Sydney & Hazen said their forever vows to one another in a super small intimate ceremony this past weekend. They start this journey together looking forward to all the blessings to come! ✨
They plan on having their big wedding and party celebrations in June and I’m excited to capture that big day when they’ll gather with all their closest loved ones!
Can you believe this is December?! 10 degree weather, no wind and the best light…even if it was at 3:30 pm it still had gorgeous light!🥰
More to come from Sydney & Hazen’s just married session!!💗 Be sure to follow @kristinsarahphotography to see more!
