Jonathan and Valerie met up with me on what was probably the last hot day of the year for some engagement photos. They were total naturals in front of the camera (Jonathan’s perfectly placed hand in the pocket? That’s all him.) so they were super fun to work with. Congratulations on your engagement! (more…)
It’s been too long since I’ve seen Rachel, so it was great to have a chance to catch up with her while we did photos! I finally got to meet her boyfriend of five years, Pat, though she had talked about him tons before that. They are so great together and are expecting a baby in the new year. I know they will be awesome parents :) (more…)
Christian contacted me a little while ago to do photos of her and her boyfriend Riley with a “country theme,” which was super fun because I often try to make Lethbridge look more forested than it actually is and ignore what we have here!
Though they’ve only been serious for a year, they’ve known each other since middle school… aw! I can’t believe they were nervous about having photos taken; I mean, look at them! They just ooze cuteness. This blog post ended up being longer than my portrait ones normally are because I couldn’t narrow them down to just a few that I liked! :) (more…)
I met with Amanda and Dean this week for their engagement photo session, and we had hoped for sun and no wind but didn’t get either of our wishes! Rather than rescheduling, we took shelter in the beautiful Coast Hotel and everything still turned out great. These two are a couple of hotties so it wasn’t very hard to make them look good, though Amanda had to hassle Dean a few times when his smile started to get forced ;) However, that always brought out her amazing big smile. :) (more…)
Darcy and Jordyn were in need of some engagement photos, and much to my delight Jordyn was willing to go to my “difficult” location I picked out. The two of them trekked with me through fences, thistle, and some questionable graffiti all for the art :) These two are super cute and were so easy to work with (and pretty easy to convince that their awkward feeling poses were actually making them look awesome).
We were all absolutely soaked by the end of the photography session as we got stuck in a sudden downpour, but I’m so glad they braved the looming clouds. Thanks for trusting in me, and sorry about the wet clothing :) (There is nothing quite like having to peel off items after a photo session!) (more…)
I’ve been dying to post these photos, but since they were a surprise Christmas gift I had to wait till now. Desi and Chelsea came to me to do some cheesy Christmas photos, Sears style. Since I used to work there for a few years while I was in school, I knew just the poses they needed. This was the most fun I think I’ve ever had on a photo session! We could barely get through the session because we were all laughing so hard. Both of them hit up the thrift stores beforehand to get some tacky sweaters, and practiced the cheesiest smiles they could come up with for days before. I especially love that Desi parted his hair down the middle. (more…)
