Nicole, Jared and their little man

I have been taking pictures of Nicole since before she was pregnant with little Reece. I was so disappointed when their wedding date fell on a day I was already booked. I didn't get to shoot their real wedding, but they got all dolled up again and we went out a few months later to recapture the joy of their day.

Michelle & Andy

Michelle and Andy met whilst working at Chateau Louise and have been inseparable every since. Since it was a really cold day, Chateau Louise was nice enough to let us photograph there. These two are perfect for each other and I'm looking forward to the wedding!

The Tarapacki Family

I really love all of my extended family members but I have always been closest to my Auntie Rhonda and her family. I think it is because they are so real, full of fun, they love life, and are always up for anything and laughter.. you should see our family Christmas'... we are CRAZY! Love you guys like mad!


Poor Tiona she is the only girl and gets harassed




The boys have outgrown Uncle Mike.. but he does his best to stay tall...

The Coursen Family

These are some shots I did of my best friend Jill, her husband Dion, and their baby Eddie. They are a picture perfect family and I love them!

Eddie is so cool!




Thankfully my husband came along and hulled my favorite vintage couch onto the field! He is such a help and always willing to come along, how did I get so lucky?



We had a few extra moments to do some promo shots for Jill's company, Jill Coursen Photography. I love that I that I have a bf who is also a kind and talented photographer! I am blessed.

Devon & George

Devon and George are shy and seem to save their affection solely for each other. Being with them for the day allowed me to capture those special glances, stolen kisses and loving touches. They are so kind and generous. I felt more like a guest and a friend than the hired photographer. I thank you for that kindness.

something blue..





Most brides getting married in Hinton, Ab would insist on being photographed in front of the beautiful mountains... but I guess that is why Devon insisted on any location BUT the mountains. We shot at a pretty church, a storage facility, the stinky paper mill, an alley, the family's restaurant L&W, their new house, and a pub. It was a great day!




the stinky mill heh









They wedding cake was HUGE, beautiful, and covered with real gold flakes
