Top 3 Winter Photo Session Ideas :: Canmore, Alberta Photographer ::
Someone, well actually it wasn’t just someone, it was Rebecca Campbell of The Mindful Mama, recently asked what her friends favorite thing about winter was. My list of winter loves is long. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the moment stepping out into that cold air and feeling it freeze […]
Alberta Family Lifestyle Photographer :: Brooks Alberta, Rachel Boekel Photography ::
This little girl has stolen my heart for awhile already, but today I want to show you how she has her whole family, including her visiting Ouma and Oupa wrapped around her little finger!

Golf Lifestyle Photography :: Brooks Alberta Photographer, Rachel Boekel Photography ::
This is where my heart is at these days. I know, I know, you’ve been hearing me rant and rave about “real life” for awhile now, and I appreciate your patience while I get my message out, because it is so important to me. Capturing your candid, every day, love of life, time with your […]

The winner of that […]
Brooks Alberta Graduation Photography :: Rachel Boekel Photography ::
Every time graduation rolls around it reminds me of 2001. It also inspires me pull my lilac coloured homemade flamenco styled prom dress out of the closet and remember what it felt like to be ready. Okay so that is uber vague (are you grads still using the word uber?) Ready. Ready as in…. Go. Giver. […]
