You may recognize Dean and Amanda as I had the honor of shooting their wedding in Edmonton last year. They are one of my all time favorite couples and I was so happy to hear that they were expecting, and even more thrilled when Amanda told me they were heading down to Lethbridge and wanted some maternity photos done.

We had a crazy weekend full of weddings but there was NO WAY I was going to say no to these guys, I love and respect them and their entire family a lot and I couldn’t miss this opportunity to spend some time with them. Luckily, they also brought along Breanne and Brad (Amanda’s cousin) whom I also LOVE seeing! YAY!!

I really couldn’t have asked for more beautiful subjects, and the afternoon was gorgeous….see for yourself.
It was awesome seeing you again and I Can’t wait to meet your little one! Tell her to go easy on her daddy!!

I love Friday weddings! There are no other brides in and around your shooting locations, everyone is happy to have a day off work and the parties always seem a little more amped. :)

Landon (Lance) and Courtney took advantage of a first look session before their gorgeous evening wedding ceremony and these two were gorgeous! They were both a bundle of nerves but once they saw each other it all washed away and they were nothing but smiles and laughter.

The weather was HOT, the wind was a welcome thing when it came and the photos turned out amazing. I am so excited to go through them all and post the gallery for them. In the meantime, here is a little sneak peek :)

Thanks again for everything!

Yesterday James and I spent our Saturday kicking of our official 2010 wedding season with Andrea and Matt :) These two are gorgeous beyond words and so in love that they just glow every time they look at each other.

We did a first-look session so we met up in the morning and shot photos all over town in the glorious sunshine and humidity (and mosquitoes) and then headed out to Taber for their ceremony at the church.

I was floored at the beauty and green-ness of many of the locations we went to because this time of the year usually means the brown, dead, and dirty starts creeping in, we completely lucked out and even got up onto the roof of the fire hall (thanks to the help of my buddy Dave from Executive 4 Star Limo who just happened to be in the right place at the right time!!

I do also have to say that Matt and Andrea have the most talented group of friends I have seen! A few of their friends sang for them at the church and one of these folks happened to be a fellow named Matt Currie. I had met him in the past but have never heard his music and let me tell you that he is amazingly talented. He does play live shows around town as far as I know so If you ever get a chance to hear him, please do!

Here is a sneak peek at some of the photos from the day, I had a really hard time narrowing down favorites for the blog.


Thanks for having us join you on your wedding day, it was amazing and we hope you have a great honeymoon!

I had the pleasure of heading out to play in the coulees last weekend with my little pal Raedyn! We have done photos together before and I am so excited that she is now two and full of beans :) She was super sleepy to start so we hung out with mom, dad and Maggie and picked flowers, then we got a little spunkier and let her doll, “Rock-a-Bye” (baby) take some photos! That definitely got the smiles flowing and all was great in the world again.

I always love seeing the little ones grow and change and Raedyn is no exception, her smile is contagious and her laughter even more so. Thanks for coming out to play! I am so glad the weather FINALLY cooperated for us.

The long weekend weather was SUPPOSED to be nasty, but we kept our session booking just in case we could luck out and luck out we did! The rain (and snow) stayed away and aside from a dark cloudy sky and a bit of a chilly wind, it was actually kind of nice out!! Krista and Roland are such a sweet couple and they really love each other so much, I was constantly catching them looking at each other with that “look”. You know, the one that says “i’m so happy” and the laughter is non stop with these two.

I had such a fun time shooting this session because these two are just so darn sweet to each other, and it never hurts when an e-session involves a lot of cuddling and nuzzling :D

Thanks for taking time out of your long weekend and being flexible with your schedule, I’m so glad that we made it happen and that it went so awesome. Here’s a sneek peek at some of my favorite shots.
