I grew up and went to school with Brett here in Oxbow.  It was fun to meet his family on this fun photo session during a visit to town.  I met Gertie over Facebook and she set up the session for their trip, it was so nice to meet her in person, she is one […]

I am so excited to FINALLY display these images on the blog from Chris & Melissa’s big day!  What a beautiful wedding, amazing couple and fabulous day!  They were surrounded by so many lovely friends & family.  It was an honour to document your most special day!

I spent this late summer evening with this soon-to-be family of 4.  Brock, Jenn & Kennedy were a delight to hang with for this photography session.  It was casual & fun and I love the idea Mom, Jenn came up with for the 2 + 2 = 4…I am thrilled when clients are involved in […]

Meet the Carnduff Family!  Grandma & Grandpa are celebrating a milestone anniversary in a few months, and their daughter Barb was thoughtful to commemorate it with an extended family photo shoot.  The session took place just south of Glen Ewen on the Macfarlane farm, a beautiful property.  We shared some laughs while capturing this wonderful […]

Meet Achaia and twins Kaycie & Karlie…little sweetheart cousins.  These three are all under 1 years old and were a delight to photograph.  Thanks to their Mom’s who were so helpful during the session!

I had a chance to meet up with the Ritchie girls just before school started back up on this gorgeous summer evening.  Mom Wenda, wanted to capture her three growing girls Jayla, Jessie & Jairyn…what a great bunch.  They invited me to their peaceful property near Alameda where we walked around and captured these four. […]

Sweet and precious, that’s what I thought of Baby Leighton.  The yellow her Mom brought was so much fun to work with, a new twist on the traditional pink.  I know Greg & Sentura are blessed with their new baby, but I think Leighton is blessed to have them as parents too!

Photographing close friends is always an honour.  I have known Cory & Michelle for the majority of my life and it was a pleasure to capture their family. On this gorgeous Sunday morning, I met them at their home just outside of Oxbow.  We spent time walking around their beautiful property, the girls Mercedes and […]

I had a blast with Kraig & Chelsea for their Engagement Session!  They travelled from Estevan and met me at an old abandoned vehicle lot, where I saw the largest spider of my life and lived to tell about it!  We carried on after that finding interesting spots to photograph these two.  Now if I […]

It was a pleasure to meet this charming couple, Chris & Mallory.  Mom-to-be was glowing and you can tell they are so excited to meet their new little one.  They were calm, casual and loving…great traits for first time expectant parents.  Had an awesome session with you guys…especially loved the sudden pitstop to capture the […]

I love my job, getting to meet and snuggle little ones like this…well it couldn’t get much better.  He looked so cute in his cowboy outfit complete with a belt buckle passed down a few generations.  First time parents Austin & Allison are naturals…even in this hot hot summer, this is a pretty happy baby.

Sometimes I have shoots that just feel like they were meant to be…like this one with the Byers family.  Everything just seemed to fall into place for photographing this family of 7 (did I mention I adore large families).  The kids were great, Mom & Dad didn’t mind either and their family farm was the […]
