This beautiful #jekyllisland sunrise deserved a permanent post on my feed. Whenever I’m on vacation somewhere by the water, I always make sure to get up early for one sunrise. I’ve never regretted it and some of my best memories are watching spectacular sunrises.
This one at #driftwoodbeach did not disappoint! While I was taking in the sunrise and photographing all its different stages, Leah scoured the beach for shells! See if you can spot her in some of these photos!

The finishing touches are being put on this gorgeous #georgia engagement session!💗 I loved being able to curate these images and the gallery is simply beautiful!
Delivering galleries is one of my favourite parts of the process! Actually I have many favourite parts of the process…I just love it all!🤩
Having now experienced spring in the south, it’s making me so excited for spring here in southern #alberta It’s coming up soon!🌱🌸
My spring session dates are booking up quickly!! If you are hoping to make a session happen this year (yipee!!🎉) don’t wait to book! Send me a DM here or through my website!
I’m so excited for all the upcoming sessions and weddings! It’s going to be such a wonderful season!💗
Okay sappy mom post below!👇
As I was compiling this reel it dawned on me that my daughter was the reason I got into photography in the first place. I’ve been been photographing her back for almost 17 years now 🤯
I’ve seen the world through her eyes!
I’ve learned about rocks, bugs, animals, fish, plants.
I’ve experienced wonder, joy and awe
And she taught me all that!
It’s not lost on me that she only has a little over a year left of high school, then who knows where the world where bring her.
It makes me just a wee bit weepy but also fills me with a whole lot of gratitude. I’m thankful that I now have all these memories locked away in my heart, but also in picture form.
So make the trip. Plan the outing. Make memories. Love.⭐️💗
Here’s the primary reason for my trip to Georgia! I spent time with a very sweet and wonderful couple, Sharon and Jared! When chatting during our getting to know you call, they mentioned they wouldn’t be needing an engagement session unless I was able to make it down to them! Everything came together and I was able to pair their engagement session with my daughter’s sixteenth birthday trip!
We spent time at a gorgeous Camellia garden just outside Fort Valley and they were in full bloom! We finished off our session chasing the serene Georgia sunset and I’m in love with how everything came so beautifully together! These two are such kind and lovely people and I’m so excited to be able to photograph their wedding in May at the @thenorlandhistoricestate
Here’s a few of my favourites from our session together, I have many, many more to go through!🤩💗

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!
