Lethbridge Weddings & Portrait Photography by Tanya Plonka

To celebrate Lourens’ 50th birthday, his children all got together for Park Lake multi-generation family photos. The family coordinated so well for their blue color scheme and even the little kids matched! This was a wonderful idea for his wife Peggy to put together :)

Even as their children grow and move on to start families of their own, the closeness between them remains strong. The siblings interact no differently in their joking and teasing each other than if they were still kids living under the same roof!

Tammy and Kirk had all of their kids down for the long weekend and decided it was time for some updated family photos at their house near Lundbreck Falls. They have a beautiful property overlooking the mountains so we had no shortage of gorgeous backdrops! They are such a warm, welcoming family and it’s clear they have a great time with each other every moment they are together.

Linda and Ed were going to have the whole gang together in Lethbridge for one weekend and decided that was the perfect time to get some extended family photos done! Linda’s parents’ farm on the edge of the city provided us with a fun, unique, and meaningful location with so many neat spots to use (my favorite being, of course, the awesome old truck!). We had to be a little careful getting around, though… this was the day of the big snow melt and most of the property was covered in several inches of water that couldn’t absorb through the frozen ground! Luckily we found some helpful pieces of plywood that worked as platforms in the trouble spots.

The family was so fun and joking together the whole time, plus Ed used to develop photos so we had a few things to chat about! My favorite connection was definitely between Austin and his sisters… the little girls clearly look up to their big brother and were so happy together!

So fun! Lori and her family decided to do a hillbilly theme for their Christmas photo session once everyone made the journey into Lethbridge. I loved their moonshine bottles, the old style slingshot, and their creative hats (with some Santa hats and tiaras thrown in for good measure)! (more…)

Maureen and Ken rounded up their kids over the Thanksgiving weekend and we all went to the Nicholas Sheran Lake for some family photos. They were lots of fun and so great together, and I loved the way the grandparents glowed around little Oaklynn. Oaklynn stayed happy as long as everyone made her “fly” through the trees :) (more…)

I’m always head over heels for couples who are truly in love, and John and Denice definitely fall into that category celebrating their 60th anniversary! They still look at each other with such care and are so sweet together. I met up with them and their children’s families for some celebratory family reunion photos and had a great time with everyone… and we even had a rain-free day to pull this off! (more…)
