Prince’s Island Park Grad Session | Calgary Family Photographer

March 20, 2025

Grad season always comes so quickly in a province like Alberta, once the snow melts, it’s go time. I absolutely love capturing all kinds of photography sessions at this beautiful downtown Calgary location. There’s so much to see in such a short little area, and that makes Prince’s Island Park one of my go to recommendations for family sessions!

Graduation is such a huge milestone, and I am so thrilled that Layton and his family decided on this spot for the perfect picturesque scenery. I love the mix of urban landscape and natural park, it’s extremely versatile for any kind of photo session really.

If you’re thinking about a photo session at Prince’s Island Park, here are a few tips to ensure stunning results:

Time it Right – The golden hour (early morning or late evening) provides soft, flattering light for beautiful photos.
Dress for the Occasion – Bring both formal and casual outfits to add variety to your session.
Include Loved Ones – Family and friends make the session even more meaningful.
Bring Props – A diploma, school pennant, or even confetti can add a fun and personal touch.
Relax and Have Fun – Natural expressions always make the best photos!

Dreamy Floral Studio Maternity | Red Deer Maternity Photographer

March 11, 2025

I think the most incredible thing about being a photographer is how many incredible moments and milestones you get to be a part of, especially the stages of life for the same repeat clients! Maternity photography is the perfect way to celebrate for my once Bride + Groom couples entering this next chapter of their lives! It’s such an honor to capture the celebration of Motherhood, and this dreamy downtown studio session in Red Deer was nothing short of beauty and the magic that is Lisa’s pregnancy!

The soft natural light mixed with the gorgeous dried floral arrangement created by Alora Mae Florals and Decor and a glowing mama-to-be, every moment was so beautiful! For Lisa’s maternity session, we chose a bright and minimalistic studio to create a soft, timeless feel. The neutral tones and gentle lighting allowed the focus to remain on her and Jace, highlighting her natural radiance. Studio maternity sessions are perfect for moms who want a clean and classic aesthetic that will never go out of style.

To achieve this dreamy vibe, I recommend wearing soft, neutral colors such as white, beige, or pastel tones. Flowy dresses, lace details, and delicate fabrics work beautifully against the bright and airy studio. Accessories like floral crowns or simple jewelry can add a personal touch without overpowering the images. This stunning gown Lisa is wearing is in my client closet, and can be adjusted from size 2-18!

If you’re expecting and looking for a maternity photographer in Red Deer, I’d love to help capture this special time in your life. My goal is to create timeless, heartfelt images that reflect your journey into motherhood. Let’s celebrate your glow and create memories you’ll treasure forever as your little one gets older!

Coronation Park Winter Photoshoot | Red Deer Portrait Photographer

February 10, 2025

What better way to celebrate your last year in your 30’s than with a birthday shoot! Meghan is always such a joy to photograph, we always have a great time together. She is sweet, kind and also a total babe! Meghan wanted to mark the transition in a unique way—by saying farewell to her 30s with a creative and lighthearted photo shoot. We met at Coronation Park downtown, with balloons floating in the wind, we set the stage for a visual tribute to a decade filled with growth, wisdom, and unforgettable moments.

Aging is often viewed with hesitation, but it should be celebrated. Every passing year is an opportunity to experience life more fully, to gain deeper insight, and to cherish the journey. My client’s 30s were a time of transformation—of learning hard lessons, building lasting connections, and stepping into her true self with confidence and grace.

This shoot wasn’t about mourning the end of something—it was about honoring all that has been and welcoming what’s next. Every laugh line tells a story, every experience has shaped who she is today, and every chapter has been a stepping stone toward an even brighter future.

Now, as she steps into her 40s, she does so with excitement, gratitude, and a touch of playful mischief. Here’s to celebrating life at every stage and making every moment count!
