2015 came to a close and as I looked back at all the weddings, families and newborns I photographed in the year, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. With each passing year I am reminded of how much I love being able to capture so many stories of love. Sometimes it’s a big wedding and other times it’s a simple at-home family session – big or small, the occasion to take photos usually centers on one simple factor: love. Thank you to each and every one of you who made an appearance in front of my lens in 2015 – your stories and connections speak more than a thousand words and I’m honoured to photograph it. Here’s a handful of some of those memorable moments.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting up with Ashley and Jeremy at the Forks for some lovely winter engagement photos. There was a light dusting of snow and relatively mild temperatures for this time of year so we took full advantage of the beautiful winter scenes along the Assiniboine River. Here’s a sneak peek for now, more photos coming soon!

With only a few short weeks before these two tie the knot, we wasted no time picking a date for Sharon and Mark’s engagement session. It was late October but surprisingly mild, which is always a great thing for Winnipeg this time of year. We started off with one of our favourite local coffee shops: Little Sister Coffee Maker. Mark is such a huge fan of coffee and although we weren’t there for very long, he managed to enjoy two back-to-back cappuccinos while I snapped a few shots of them in the café. Why not!
They chose two other awesome locations around the city, one alongside the quiet banks of the Red River and the other location on an empty bridge overlooking the city. Time flies by when I’m taking photos of them – they’re always chatting and laughing together and so evidently in love. It’s obvious they’re on the same path and journeying together with a closeness that is rooted in something far deeper than can be seen. I’m honoured to be able to photograph these first few chapters of their life together and cannot wait for their winter wedding!

Nov 10, 2015 | Family
This growing family just welcomed its newest member: a new baby brother, Rhodes! I drove down to Steinbach on a beautiful autumn day to capture some of the love and togetherness that these guys are now experiencing with the birth of their second baby. Of course, big sister Analeigh is the proudest of them all, giving Rhodes so much attention and kisses. It’s such a joy being able to photograph families in these precious moments together. Doing the photo session at home always creates such a relaxed and candid environment and the photos in turn speak a thousand words. This is real life at home, with all its joy, cuteness and of course crazy-ness – Kevin and Jerrah-Lee are over the moon happy and it was a huge pleasure being there to document it.

Meet Marlis, my friend and fellow photographer/coffee enthusiast – she’s expecting her very first baby and I’m so excited for her! Marlis and Ken are just a few days from meeting their first child and as the due date is fast approaching, the maternity session came together on one beautiful sunny evening in Winnipeg a couple of weeks ago. The best part is that these photos were gifted to her from her dear friends back in Vancouver, her former home. This gift card came as a surprise to her and I had so much fun (secretly) bringing it all together for Marlis on behalf of her friends on the West Coast. Marlis is now a Winnipeg photographer and has also become a good friend, so it was such an honour to photograph this amazing journey in her life. Soon I’ll also be taking photos of their newborn, so stay tuned for that! Can’t wait! Congratulations Marlis, you’re absolutely glowing!
