Lethbridge Weddings & Portrait Photography by Tanya Plonka

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…)

Just before Christmas, Tracy rounded up her parents and siblings for some chilly family photos in Indian Battle Park. And when I say chilly, I mean -20C chilly! They were such good sports and in great spirits despite how cold it was, so we all powered through it together. At least they got to hug a lot for some extra body heat! (more…)

I was contacted by Courtney a little while ago with a great idea: to round up her four generations of family for a beautiful session to honor her grandparents. There was just so much joy in this family and their smiles were contagious. They were so animated that even little Evelyn, who was grumpy from fighting off a cold, ended up in great spirits and had just as much fun as everyone else. The way John still looked at Mathilda after all these years completely melted my heart :) (more…)

The Ludwig family started out the day by making a difference and taking part in the Run For the Cure, and then surprised their mom with family photos to celebrate the day. I love their togetherness :) I met up with them on their gorgeous afternoon picnic and had such a great time with them taking their photos! (more…)

For Albert and Vivian’s 50th wedding anniversary they were able to get nearly their whole family together for a wonderful photo session. It’s great to see people in love after all these years and they were such a great family to work with! We had four generations present, and Vivian’s sister even came along :) (more…)
