Announcement:

September is Mental Health Awareness Month, among other things.

First things first: if you, or anyone you know, is struggling with mental health, please seek help. Even if it’s just finding someone to talk to. And remember, even when you can’t see it, there can still be sunshine after the darkness. 💛

Now for my story—the short version.

I’ve struggled with my mental health since I was quite young, with anxiety, OCD, and ADHD being the top three. A year and a half ago, I lost someone I loved very much. Then came other medical scares, and it felt like the bad news just kept piling up. For a while, I could hardly see the light or imagine how I was going to get through it.

But with time, help, and a lot of work, I’m coming out the other side and back into the sunshine.

If you’ve ever felt like that, I want to help remind you of the beautiful person you are.

My sessions are a safe space. There is no judgement here, no expectation to be anything other than exactly who you are that day.

I want to give away three portrait sessions to people who are thriving, fighting, or just barely surviving—to celebrate them and show some of the good that still lives in this world.

Nominate yourself or someone you love. 💛

Like, share, and tag your nomination below.

Three participants will be randomly selected on September 25 at 5:00 PM.

The is going to peak on Thursday morning (12am-5am) with an expected frequency of 50-100 meteors per hour. It is also supposed to be cloudy for the next few nights. It seems like I might have to go into Saskatchewan or Southern Alberta in order to see it. Cross your fingers that I don't have to go on too much of a road trip! Haha!

It's hard to believe summer is almost over! Before long, the kids will be heading back to school.

These moments go by so quickly, and they're worth remembering with photos that capture who your child really is.

This year's Back-to-School Mini Sessions feature a charming antique school desk with fall-inspired decorations for a classic back-to-school feel. If your child has outgrown that style, no problem! I'll also have a second backdrop available, or we can skip the backdrop altogether and capture some relaxed, natural portraits around the session location.

I also encourage kids to bring along a favorite toy, book, sports equipment, musical instrument, or anything else that reflects who they are right now. Those little details often become some of the most meaningful memories to look back on.

🍂 Back-to-School Mini Sessions
📅 Saturday, August 22
📍 Ponoka Scout Hall area (outdoors)
📸 20-minute session
🖼️ 5 professionally edited digital images

Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve yours early!

Send me a message to book your session or if you have any questions. I'd love to help you capture this exciting time of year.

A big welcome to this wonderful family, who are new to town! 💜 It was so nice getting to meet them and spend some time together.

We started the session with cool, comfortable weather, but Alberta had other plans. 😅 Before long, the sun was blazing, and the young man just couldn't win the battle against the bright sky. We've all been there!

Even with the changing weather, we captured some beautiful moments together, and I hope these photos help them remember this exciting new chapter in their lives.

What do you think of this little sneak peek?

The soccer season has come to an end, the medals have been handed out, and this kiddo walked away with three of them! ⚽🏅 Way to go!

There were lots of laughs during this session... and lots of mosquitoes. 😅 Thankfully, we didn't let the bugs win, and I think we ended up with some pretty awesome photos.

What do y'all think? 😊

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the morning out at the golf course as a family, and while I came home with some great photos of everyone, these shots of my husband and son ended up being my favorites.
This is exactly what I love about themed lifestyle sessions. They're relaxed, genuine, and centered around the things you love most. Whether it's golfing, hiking, baking, gaming, or simply spending time together, your session becomes more than just photos—it tells your story.

I've been a little behind on posting lately, but here's a little peek at a session from a couple of weeks ago!

Confession time... I had it in my head that this sweet little baby was 11 months old, not 1 month old. 😅 That meant a few of the poses I had planned definitely weren't happening. Oops! But that's part of being human, and I think it's important to share the real moments too.

Despite my mix-up, this family was an absolute joy to work with. The kids had so much fun making dandelion wishes, and my favorite part was watching Mom and Dad smile as they simply enjoyed their children being themselves.

Before you pull every dandelion, remember they're an important early-spring food source for bees and other pollinators, providing vital nectar and pollen when little else is blooming.

I'm a little late to the spring fling with this but I saw the dandelions in my neighbor's driveway last night and couldn't resist. 😉📸

Why is the sky always like this when I don't have my gear? 😅
