I'm here to tell your story...the joy, the laughs, the tears, and the memories along the way.

We are so lucky to have great local business women like Gail Lawson who owns Oxbow Agencies.  I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Gail over the past couple of years on several boards, and most recently we have served on the Oxbow Business Association together. Oxbow Agencies was one of five winners of the complimentary […]

Of course I jumped at the opportunity to photograph my amazing sister Amber in her salon which she has owned in Oxbow for just under two years.  After taking her schooling in Red Deer, her and I lived in Calgary for a number of years.  It was so amazing to have her close and experience […]

I love the smell of the lumberyard in the morning!  This is where I spend three days a week working alongside my husband Cory as the controller of Oxbow Building Supplies.  For years we’ve owned our own construction company together and in 2011 we purchased the store which we operate in Oxbow, Saskatchewan.  We’re going […]

Saskatchewan Newborn Photographer

Welcome to the world AJ! New parents Helen & Abe invited me to their home to photograph their new little slugger.  This little family is new to town, so I enjoyed getting to know them during AJ’s session.  Dad’s into baseball, so we used his ball & mitt for a few cool shots.  I think […]

Avonmore Hotel

These engagement photos of Grant & Nicole excite me for their mid-July wedding near Storthoaks & Redvers, that’s just around the corner.  This sweet couple, who currently reside in Saskatoon, met when Nicole was visiting her sister who lived in the same building as Grant.  Grant hosted a BBQ, hit it off with Nicole, and […]

Long-time clients, Steve, Melissa & Hudson, joined me at the Estevan Public Library where I photographed them during a lifestyle family session.  They have lots to celebrate…Hudson just turned two and Melissa has a ‘bun in the oven!’  I followed Hudson around as he discovered the books, trains and dinosaurs, what a cutie.  It was […]

Santa Barbara

I’ve just returned from an amazing week in beautiful Santa Barbara, California where I attended the 2014 UNITED Photography Conference! When I signed up to go a few months back, I didn’t know how impact-full it would be.  It was more than workshops and hands on training…it’s was all about community!  And let’s just say […]

Now that 2014 is underway, I’ve had a chance to look back and reflect on the past year…. 2013 was a challenging year for me personally. It was a struggle, hard-to-talk-about and heavy, with more than I thought I could handle emotionally. 2013 was successful, but I saw myself overwhelmed in some areas and had […]

I loved this session with Britt, Alan and their little bump, to arrive February 2013!  Thanks for being up for trying anything.  And Britt looks AMAZING as she expects this new little one!  My vote is it’s a BOY!

I love how the Buchanan family has grown.  Lee & Jen, you should be proud of your fun-loving little family!
