SO EXCITED FOR THIS. Mothers Day minis, but a little reinvented… 🤍🌸🧺

Im not the biggesttttt fan of the 15-20 minute sessions, because if you have kiddos, it can take them 15 minutes just to warm up and feel comfortable! This is why I set aside 40 minutes to give us that breathing room, to avoid feeling rushed and trying to soothe your kids at the same time! Kids are upset and need to take a break? No problem. Want to be more efficient and slam them out in 25 mins? On it. We use the time in the way that works best for you and your family. 🫶 The vibes for this one are picnic and earthy, I’ll bring the baskets, flowers, and blankets 🧺💐🥰 Inspo photos are from Pinterest!

Dates are May 2 + May 3, in Fort Saskatchewan AB with some limited availability left, two slots left on May 2 (3:45 + 4:30pm, and two slots left on May 3 (4:30pm and 5:15pm)! 🌸

DM me to claim a spot, sessions are $220 and require a $50 deposit to secure your place! 🥰

Ever wondered what the course of a wedding day typically looks like? 🤍 the goal is to not pack in as much as you can in the shortest amount of time. We want it to feel intentional and meaningful, and we create that by giving what your priorities are the space it deserves, whether that’s more time to capture you having a slow paced morning, or more time showing your loved ones dancing and having the time of their life- or both!🥹 Not everyone has the same wants and needs. We structure the timeline for you, and you entirely 🥰

No feeling awkward at your photoshoots around here ;) and don’t worry, I think my doggy has the prettiest and least awkward smile out there 😉😉

I used to think confidence would come before the action, and I used to be one anxious little kid and sometimes that part of me still comes out. therefore the plot twist: the anxious girls building careers around meeting new people and doing entirely new things. 🤍 there’s a version of me who almost didn’t go to my first networking event, who had to pullover for a pep talk for my first shoot. 🫣And now? I seek out the connections. It’s easier to stay comfortable, but is it easier to stay where you are, knowing you’re capable of truly so much more?

A little idea of how I like to approach things 🤍 there is always room for posing, especially when it’s your first shoot and you’re just exploring that comfort zone. But trust the process, trust your connection, and give it a chance to speak for itself. Less forcing moments, more space for them to play out. 😊 Edmonton Alberta photographer | couples, engagement & lifestyle sessions

pleeeeease, I could reminisce on this shoot forever. When you think about your engagement shoot or couples session, it is SO FUN to think about concepts or locations that are meaningful to you!! the point of our time together is to feel like we’re bringing a part of your story to life, an idea im always thrilled to play around with ☺️🤍

winter photoshoots are growing a huuuuge soft spot in my heart guys 🥹 had such a blast with these two, so much love while single handedly avoiding children whizzing past me every minute, and it was so worth it 😂🤍

I think photography is more so about the life that’s happening within the frame, and some of those moments will shine through beautifully if you get intentional about noticing it 🤍 here’s just a few examples of what I saw in this gorgeous snowy session with these two lovebirds, an absolute blast was had 🥹🤍

It’s time!!!!
✨ I’m opening a limited number of in-home Christmas sessions this year, because there is something so special about documenting your season of life exactly where your memories live. The tree that leans a little to the left. The stockings that have been hung the same way for years. Even if it feels slightly chaotic and there’s toys on the ground, those are the moments that feel like home, and I want to help you bottle them up.

🎄These sessions are cozy, slow, and completely tailored to you. Got kids? Great. Just you and your dog? Amazing. Lil’ Christmas couples shoot? Heck yes.

🕚We pick the day & time together. No rushing. I come to you, so your kids (and your husband) can stay in their comfort zone and your photos feel like real life 🥰You get a gallery full of images that feel warm & nostalgic.

📸Sessions are $230, and include travel within 30 kilometres of Fort Saskatchewan. A small travel fee may apply after that, reach out for more info!🎄

If you’ve been wanting photos that feel like Christmas, send me a message to snag a spot. I’m only taking a handful so I can keep these slow and intentional! And don’t worry, you will have all your photos before Christmas. The earlier you book, the earlier you can get out those last minute Christmas cards 🤭
❤️ DM me “Christmas” and let’s make some magic in your home this year!

I love to tell you anyone who will listen that you’re not just here for the photos, you’re here for the fun of it. To come back to the location years later and feel it all over again. 🕊️ let’s celebrate that S + T are engaged with this one 🥹🥹

This day was nothing short of incredible, and i drove home from this wedding in tears because I didn’t know I could be so happy doing work and was completely overwhelmed by the gratitude. Here’s the first little glimpse into our start of the day 🤍
