Back in June I had the great pleasure of photographing my friends’ maternity session out in Steinbach, Manitoba. I had been looking forward to this shoot for so long and when it finally came, I was well justified in being eager to shoot it: it was epic! Jocelyn and Matt are not only model material, but just all around amazing people who share a deep love and connection with each other. Seeing them so in love all while expecting their first child together was nothing short of spectacular. And to add to it all, a storm had just passed over and the clouds were ready to break for the evening sun. Yup, epic. And so the rest speaks for itself in images. Congratulations Jocelyn and Matt, I know you’re going to make amazing parents to little Smith!

Janna and Dean got married back in mid-July, and although many weeks have passed since their wedding, and many weddings have been photographed since then, I still think back to their wedding day with great joy and warm fuzzy feelings (and not just because it was a super hot day!). I met Janna and Dean in early Spring and it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with them. They’re one of the sweetest and cutest couples ever – not to mention incredibly warm and a ton of fun. I was overjoyed to have been able to capture their engagement photos and soon after, their beautiful wedding day.
It was an honour to witness their union in the context of such a beautiful service and gorgeous church (All Saints). After their afternoon brunch reception (how fun is that?), we met up at Assiniboine Park for some photos. The wedding party was just as fun as they are, so being in good company and surrounded by a bunch of happy people made it super easy to photograph the true essence of their day. And of course, we finished off with the quieter portion of the photos – the alone time I get with the couple to capture the true love and connection that these two share. Absolutely beautiful, I have no other words to use.
Congratulations Janna and Dean – your hearts are now one, and I know you are off on one solid footing together. I wish you nothing but the best, your love is inspiring.

Last night I had the great pleasure of working on this stunning styled photo shoot in the woods: a vintage tea party inspired theme with delicious cakes and fresh flowers! Everything came together wonderfully well all thanks to the very talented vendors who got involved:
Lace & Lavender (for providing the table setting and styling it)
Academy Florist (for the table top flower arrangements and flower crowns)
Laugh Love Cakes (for the cakes and cookies)
Also a huge thank you to my models: Amanda, Lynzie, Sara and Katie – who endured the ferocious mosquitoes!
Here is a sneak peek of our shoot… but of course more photos will be showcased once the entire shoot is edited. For now, you can stay connected to the latest updates over at my facebook page (where the rest of the photos will likely be posted there first when they’re ready!).

Meet my friend Rachel: a super sweet person with a warm heart and a great spirit of determination and ambition. Last winter, the man of her dreams proposed to her at Christmastime – I couldn’t be more thrilled for her! Daniel is amazing person, and as I’ve grown to know him more over the last year, the more I’m realizing how perfect of a match they are together. They make an incredibly strong team all while being so adorable together! So when Rachel first told us she was engaged, not only was I super excited for her, but I also secretly hoped she’d ask me to do her wedding photos… and when she did ask me just a few days later, I said yes without hesitation! It always brings me great joy to photograph a friend’s wedding – there’s a level of closeness that is added on top of all the wonderful wedding amazingness that happens… and you just can’t beat that.
We had a beautiful engagement session in late Spring – and if this is any telling of what their love & chemistry will be like at their wedding, then I am all the more excited to shoot it! Only a few short weeks away… so make sure to stay tuned for their wedding photos. 🙂 Congratulations you two!
