So very often I am met with a funny face when people inquire as to where I live. “Brooks?” they answer, and then quickly their nose scrunches. Sometimes their next question is “why?” or “really?” or “huh” with a long pause…. Yes, we all know, Brooks has a reputation to smell like cow poop. Bam – […]

Celebrating Mothers :: Brooks Alberta Family Photographer ::
This is a bit of a personal post, and I am certainly not the best about writing about myself! I love writing about how amazing you are dear reader and client, but I will take a moment to share about about me and my own life and why I think photographs are so important. All […]
Oh, but my darling, What if you fly?
“There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask, “What if I fall?” Oh, but my darling, What if you fly?” – Erin Hanson A dear friend of mine recently reminded me of this quote, which has circled many a pinterest and etsy board, and it feels so pertinent […]
Ugly Mug Pottery Party :: Brooks Alberta Photographer ::
Brooks, AB has so many great artists and artisans and I always love an opportunity to meet a new one, and also try out a new craft. Pottery has always been pretty unattainable in my brain as something I could do. I’m crafty with my eyes but not so much with my hands. Recently I […]
Gabrielles Family of Four :: Brooks Alberta Newborn Photography ::
Baby Fox arrived with a beautiful head full of hair and with a lot of love from his sweet older brother. This house is so full of energy and play. I absolutely loved watching these four be silly together. Isn’t this what life is all about!
Brooks Alberta Photographer :: The Hemsing Family ::
The last time I photographed this sweet family of 4 is right after their little girl was born. It’s always crazy for me to see how fast time flies and how much kids grow. We were lucky enough to be able to photograph inside the Brooks Corn Maze, just before the sheep totally tackled all […]
The Rutherford Clan :: Brooks Alberta Family Photography ::
I always feel honored to photograph this family, they are full of genuinity (is that a word? I’m using it anyways.) It’s always special for me to photograph a family that loves being together, and I have felt that from the Rutherfords on more than one occasion. The girls get along, the boys get along, […]
:: Pieces of our summer :: Rachel Boekel Photography
I’ve been contemplating this post for some time. Should I share? Should I make excuses? Should I? I’ve decided yes, I should. Below is my last family photo as a family. My brother’s face was recovering from a mountain biking accident, Vera is in her pj’s, I haven’t brushed my hair and none of these […]
Rachel Boekel Photography
My Mom sent me this photo the other day. Apparently I was awkward from a very early age! Oh how not much changes as we grow older! Photography has always been important to me. As a young girl I can say with honesty that I loved looking at pictures of myself. These days I can’t […]
Mr. Nash! :: Brooks, Alberta Family Photography ::
We snuck this session in during the abnormally warm fall. It was a little breezy but Nash stood up to challenge. This was a gifted session and I think it’s such an awesome gift to give! Obviously I would think that, but sometimes the family photo sessions get forgotten, or pushed in the back of […]
