Heidi and Gary have added a new member to their family. The adorable Haley was a treat to photograph. She was very patient with us as she went through a few costume changes and had to endure the endless flashes. As you can see, Haley has some great parents that are more than excited that [...]

I photographed Bella and her family last year. She’s still a bit shy to start, but it didn’t take her long to warm up to the camera.  I mostly gave her some distance and again encouraged her to play.  Being a little older now, she responds more to direction. Glenmore Park on the North side [...]

It’s always fun to photograph Leon and Louise’s family.  They were celebrating the American Thanksgiving, so they had everyone together, which is difficult to do.  They have a nice park behind their home, so the original plan was to do the portraits there. However, just a week before our scheduled sitting, we had our first snowfall [...]

Tim and Crick have the cutest kids. You might not be able to tell from the photo on the right, but there are only two of them. As usual, they were a bit shy, but they didn’t take long to open up and relax around the camera. They have a great back yard with a [...]

I thought I could tell it was spring. This year has been unusually wet, so when we planned this photo session, we were hoping for the best and trying to deal with the worst. I was hoping not to have to deal with snow though.  Brent and Carol braved it well.  Since it was snowing, [...]

Photographing Bella was an amazing amount of fun.  She’s a very dynamic child with a lot of personality. We made it easy for her by letting her play in the grass and explore. The experience of freedom for her made it easy for her to ignore the camera and just be herself. When she started [...]

From Steven and Amanda Steven and Amanda are a quiet couple with big plans! For their engagement, we wandered into Prince’s Island Park in downtown Calgary. The recent moisture has made a huge difference in the greenery, but the trees have yet to really show. Prince’s Island has a number of views that make it [...]

From Mark and Jenn Having a summer wedding means spring engagement photos. This Easter weekend was definitely sunny enough, but the cold breeze made it a bit uncomfortable. Mark and Jennifer are a great couple, and were very patient dealing with flying hair and goosebumps. Tom Campbell hill in Calgary overlooks the downtown core. Early [...]

Photographing the Seitz family was a pleasure.  I like outdoor portraits, but the December weather, combined with young children made it necessary to shoot indoors. The location had large windows that helped to give a better quality of light.  The rooms were large enough to fit everyone and we had a great time being creative [...]
