I’m so thankful I got to connect with this lovely family back in September for a beautiful portrait session out in rural Manitoba! We met up at the gorgeous family home just outside of Carman with all the kids & grandkids, and we had a super fun time getting a good collection of family photos. The house and yard was absolutely charming – a truly picturesque property with a super old character home with loads of history! It was a pleasure meeting them all and a big thank you goes out to Kara for coordinating it all. It was nice connecting with her and I have since photographed her husband’s side of the family too! (Kara’s also the talented genius behind HEM Design – I’ve purchased baby photo props from her shop and they are absolutely darling!) I look forward to crossing paths with her again, and I’m sure there will be a few more shoots in the near future… stay tuned for that!

Lovely little Leyla made a long trip to Winnipeg a few months ago and in her short visit we managed to schedule a quick but fun photo shoot at the park with her mom and dad. I’m so glad we made the time for this session because this little girl loves being in front of the camera! With her big chocolate brown eyes and her wispy hair… my camera couldn’t stop clicking at all the many adorable facial expressions she was making. And the brisk September wind didn’t dampen her spirits… in fact, she seemed to LOVE the cold air! She definitely has some Winnipeg in her, and although she lives many miles south of here, there’s something in her that makes her tough enough to enjoy Winnipeg’s cool weather! Congratulations to my friends Angelina & Aaron for the most beautiful addition to their family – she is a sweetheart and I’m counting down the days until I get to see her again!

Saying goodbye to your long-term pet is never easy, but these guys thought that a family photo session would be an appropriate way to spend their last evening with their dog. And so we did. Lila is a cute little dog but unfortunately an illness had her days counted. I’m so glad I was able to create these photos for this family so they could treasure the last day they had with their adorable little Lila. I’m sure she will be missed.

If you’ve never been to an outdoor wedding on a rural farm in Manitoba, you’ve definitely missed out. Especially if Jayda and Daniel are the hosts! Notorious for throwing awesome parties out at the farm, Jayda and Daniel certainly did not disappoint at their wedding celebration… in fact, they stepped it up big time!
To say it was a pleasure being a part of this wedding would be a huge understatement… being there to witness such a beautiful wedding and being at such a fun party was most certainly a huge highlight of my wedding photography season this summer! Jayda and Daniel are such a stellar couple made up of rock solid love and adoration for each other and the people that are near and dear to them. It was an honour being their photographer, and I couldn’t have been happier with how the day turned out.
From the beautiful DIY vintage decor, to the unique wedding party attire, to the fabulous food and the amazing live band, you really couldn’t have asked for a better wedding celebration! Not to mention the location – in the middle of rural Manitoba on a gorgeous family-owned farm property – perfect!
Jayda, you looked stunning. Daniel – your suit was a one-of-a-kind gem – together you made such a fantastic looking couple! Congratulations, you were a dream to work with and I wish you all the best as you embark on the rest of your life journey together!

This afternoon I shot my first winter engagement session of the year – nothing beats a good winter setting than what we find here in the heart of Winnipeg! We started the session at Sam’s Place and then headed outside to Assiniboine Forest with their dog Kieva. Both locations hold special meaning to Andrea and Rheal so it was a natural decision to use them. And it turned out great! I’m looking forward to posting more photos from this session, but I’m looking even more forward to photographing their wedding next summer!
