Fox Creek, Alberta
April has been involved in Highland Dance since she was a child. She showed up with four costumes and a couple hours of free time. The time spent allowed us to experiment with light and mood. It was worth it.

Cap and Gown 2010
Fox Creek, Alberta
I was honoured to have been contracted to shoot these memories - for the students, for their parents, for their families.
After shooting the traditional formal grad pictures, I couldn't help but feel that we'd forgotten how old they were. Seventeen-year-old high school students should be allowed to act their age. The dancing, spinning, hair tossing, and generally hamming it up was refreshing to shoot.

Brittney's Senior Portraits
Fox Creek, Alberta
I shot Brittney last fall because she wanted outdoor pictures with fall colours. It was a good thing the shoot was scheduled when it was, because it if had been a week later it would have been in a foot of snow!
Picturesque lake, great light, beautiful girl - a great combination for a session.

Victoria, British Columbia
Wedding photos by the sea are a highly desired ideal for brides. We would recommend, however, warmer weather than mid-fall can generally provide in Canada!
We dubbed this the "Tim Hortons Wedding": not only were Timmies runs taking place all around us, but Jennifer even went out to bring coffee back to the guys.
It was nice to be included in the rehearsal so that we could plan out our vantage points.
At one point in the evening, Jennifer had an allergic reaction to a bee sting which left me without my right hand woman for a couple of hours.
But all's well that ends well...
The "S" family is expecting their second child for Christmas this year.

Kinuso, Alberta
You know a couple is adored when the entire town turns up for their wedding.
We all survived the grasshoppers, even the ones that managed to make it INTO the top layer of the flower girls' dresses.
It was a touching moment when Brian brought the ashes of his recently passed father to the reception and placed them on the head table.
An untraditional father-daughter dance: the beautiful bride with her father, and the groom with their daughters.

Beth and Nat
August 1, 2009
Near Lac La Biche, Alberta
The intimacy that was felt in their engagement session continued to their wedding ceremony. A small gathering of less than 30 people, including the two of us, made for an enjoyable event where we got to meet every person we photographed.
Beth and Nat broke off hours from their guests so that we could explore the area around his dad's cabin and shoot whatever came to mind - for us, and them.
There is also something to be said about barbequed corn and steak for a reception dinner...

Amanda and Brian - Engagement
Kinuso, Alberta
I wish we lived closer. Brian and Amanda are the kind of couple people like to visit on a Saturday night.
After time was spent shooting and exploring, the best location, in our opinion, was their home.
When we finished shooting, Brian was kind enough to offer a horseback ride to our two-year-old daughter.
