What a cute family these guys are, had so much fun photographing them!  They came to Oxbow, where Dallas spent some time growing up, for their photo session. Thank you Dallas, Kaitlyn & Madisynn for bringing your smiles, it was a pleasure to photograph you!

Part of the reason I love being a photographer, is to document milestones for my clients.  Cassidy’s session was to document her at 3 years old (heres her 2 year session).  She was so much fun at my studio and I had a blast watching her draw & play while capturing HER.  I have a huge […]

Fallyn was a sleeping angel for her newborn session in the studio.  She is so sweet, I just wanted to eat her up!  I know that new parents Nick & Chelsie are loving her up with every bit of their LOVE.  Congrats on becoming a family of 3!

Welcome to the world Eli!  I’m sure Taunia & Aaron are excited to share the news of this handsome little man’s arrival.  Eli was a trooper for his session, he slept for most of it and I enjoyed the snuggles in-between!

I was THRILLED when Emery’s Mom Missy booked a Cake Smash Session to celebrate her 1st Birthday!  We did some sweet portraits first.  And then it was time to cake smash…cake was made by Tori Dawn  Douglas, I thought the pink rose motif was perfect.  Emery was so much fun to watch for her cake […]

The past couple of months I have been suffering from serious burn out.  It happens every few years when I experience tremendous career growth and start to yearn to be with my family more.  I start to lose vision of why I fell in love with photography in the first place and discouragement really takes […]

I so very much appreciate the opportunity to capture my clients year after year.  This will be the fourth year Tasha has asked me to photograph the Skuce family (2009, 2010, 2011)…and everytime I see them, it feels like we just pick up where we left off.  This year the location was their family acreage […]

It’s always an honour to photograph fellow photographers, I have always admired Tennile’s photos.  So when I met the rest of her family, Ryan and their two girls Anesa & Rowan, I knew they would be familiar with cameras.  I snapped away and had an amazing time with this family…so happy with how this fall session turned […]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s a pleasure to photograph close friends and their beautiful families.  Cory & Michelle welcomed sister Paris for Mercedes & Payton in April.  It was great to freshen up their family portraits on location at their property as a new family of five!

Adeline was a little doll for her one year photo session!  It’s been a treat to watch Adeline grow over this past year, what a little sweetheart.  This time Mom & Dad had some special news to share…Adeline is going to be a big sister in 2013, so exciting!!  Hope you enjoy these pics as […]

The Mayers are a fun and sassy bunch…this was my first session with them, but you’d think they were used to being photographed all the time!  Mom Trina arranged this casual session, and I choose to take them to a really cool location for their session.  It was my pleasure to get to know their […]

The Kittleson family were the winners of the gift certificate I donated to the United Way fundraiser a few months ago.  I was so glad they could make it from Macoon for some family shots.  Shane, Kenda, Desta (19 months) & Rhett (4 months) are such a lovely family.  Big thank you to their babysitter […]
