Last night I drove out to Lake Winnipeg (more specifically, Albert Beach) to photograph my brother’s engagement photos. The ride up was overcast and the sky looked boring, but I knew there was a good chance things would change closer to sunset. The beach sits at the south point of the lake, which gives way to an endless horizon of water and a huge sky. The water was a little choppy, the clouds were breaking, and the golden sun was illuminating everything just so perfectly! We lost track of time and took photos for almost 3 hours… Albert Beach is my favourite place in the world so having the chance to do a photo session there was absolutely wonderful! Here’s a sneak peek from the engagement session. More coming soon…

Ever wanted ideas on what to do with your photos after a baby or family photo session? I’ve recently fallen in love with these cute little photo album books so I made a sample one that I absolutely adore! The one pictured below is 5″x7″, includes 20 lay-flat pages, showcases about 30 photos and is covered in a beautiful grey linen fabric. Also available are photo-wrap covers, additional pages and larger album sizes. The fun thing is that you have a say in which photos are included in the album since I custom design every layout and include design feedback from my clients to make the whole book a personalized experience.
The books start at $285 and can be used for any session, even if you had your photos done with me months or years ago! For more questions or more photo printing inspiration, contact me at photo @ egabrielle.com.
The photos included in this album are from this super cute baby session earlier this winter.

These two lovebirds have been married for almost a decade and now their lives are just about to change drastically with the arrival of their first child! Even though I only met these two for the first time a couple weeks ago, I have a hunch that they are just as in love now as they were the day they met… if not more! It was pure delight spending an evening with them, watching their excitement about this new baby as well as seeing them so comfortable and happy together. This little baby is about to get some pretty awesome parents!
We started the maternity photo session at their house where we took some casual and relaxed photos using beautiful window light. We then headed out to Assiniboine Park to catch the golden sun as it was setting lower into the sky. It was a glorious evening and I’m so glad I had the chance to meet them both and to photograph these very exciting and beautiful moments in their life.
Congratulations you two – I wish you all the best as you embark on the wonderful journey of becoming parents!

Although I get to photograph some pretty fantastic people throughout the year and get to meet so many lovely families, nothing can beat the joy I get when I take out my camera for my own kid. I’m biased, so I think she’s the cutest kid in the world, and what makes it better is that she actually LOVES the camera! (at least for now…) So while she’s still into it, once in a while I get the chance to take her to the park to get a few photos. Chad came with us, of course, and was a huge help with keeping her happy and excited about the shoot – although it doesn’t take much for her. All she needed were some wide open spaces to run around in and a few branches and rocks to pick up along the way! Definitely my most favourite kid in the whole world! 🙂 Je t’aime beaucoup Élise!!!

Donna contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if we could schedule a family portrait session for them. The occasion? She was graduating from med school and moving away from Winnipeg for her residency. Huge accomplishment and big life changes! I agreed that it definitely called for a family photo session and I was more than happy to provide that for them. We met up at King’s Park and spent a lovely evening walking around, chatting and taking photos throughout the huge park. It was an absolute pleasure spending time with them – they’re a super fun & close family with lots of laughter and love. I especially saw how much Donna admires her kids – I know there is lots of love that abounds and it was nice to see the whole family together for a long over-due photo session. Â I wish them all the best as they continue on in separate ways and onto new and exciting ventures!
