Looking for a beautiful location in Winnipeg with blooms from July to October? The English Garden is that go-to spot. It’s a gem inside the city and a very popular location for family photos. Although it can get crowded on warm summer evenings, it’s still a great location if you’re looking for colour with rich foliage & flowers. I had a blast taking photos of Mayo and Bea’s blended family: so many personalities and tons of fun! I enjoyed this shoot so much!

Renae and Jesse got married on a late Spring day, and every detail that went into their celebration was heartfelt, sweet and absolutely beautiful. They are so very well surrounded by family and friends, and it was evident to see that they value those relationships deeply. It was so beautiful to see the support and care that everyone covered them with and as a photographer, it’s a such a delight to be able to capture all the intimate moments that come together on a wedding day. And yes, one of the songs at the dance party was Jessie’s Girl. Had to be played, and everyone LOVED it!
Over the past few years I’ve had the great joy of photographing these two’s love story, and this year it’s growing with even more love! Veronica and Matt are expecting their first child in the next few weeks so we took this opportunity to capture the beautiful transformation that us mamas go through in order to welcome a human into this world. The setting was nothing but gorgeous and as always, these two are SO easy to photograph! I had such a great time with them and I’m over the moon happy for them. I cannot wait to meet their baby very, very soon! A huge congratulations to you both! I know how exciting and WONDERful this time really is.
Last night I met up with the super fun, super delightful Borys family for their annual family photos! This year, unlike last year, we had a WARM evening and it made things so much more comfortable for everyone! The trick: scheduling the session before it gets too cold and too late in the fall season! These guys have big hearts, big love and a ton of fun together and it’s always a huge pleasure spending time with them. To be able to capture these memories for them is so special. And those grandkids!! Such cuties! And if you’re wondering if the English Garden at Assiniboine Park is still beautiful this late in the season — IT IS! So many beautiful flowers still remain to be enjoyed.
I’ve been photographing Janice & Darrell’s family for a few years now, and every session with them brings me such joy. We took advantage of the beautiful evening sun and met up at the English Gardens at Assiniboine Park on a warm summer evening. They brought their cute dog as always and we just wandered around for some posed & candid photos. I love their kids’ energy and enthusiasm, each have their own unique personality and pizzazz and along with their active dog, we were never short on dynamic shots! Not only that, but add on their parents’ easy-going and playful attitude, and we got to create such a fun and lively collection of family photos! They know how to play!
Yes, I’m posting this almost a year late, but this past year has been so busy and I’ve fallen so behind on blogging. I’m going to be catching up, hopefully, and for now, here’s the Derksen Family, proof that family photo sessions are fun when you let go of expectations, and having tons of fun results in tons of candid, real family portraits! Love these guys!
