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 […]

Tremblay Family Lifestyle Photography :: Lake Newell, Alberta ::
I had the best afternoon for my Lake Newell lifestyle session with the Tremblay Family this Summer. No wind, a bright blue sky, and some dappled clouds for effect The Tremblays have their own Tige boat and spend as many summer days and nights out as a family on the water, either kneeboarding, wake boarding or […]
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!

Farm Lifestyle Photography :: Real Life Photography, Rachel Boekel Photography ::
When I was driving out towards Gem, Alberta, early-ish for this session, I was in awe of the landscapes that were unfolding as I headed North out of Brooks, AB.

Calin + JP Winter Wedding :: Rachel Boekel Photography ::
Calin and JP were married on a warm February afternoon in Brooks, Alberta at St. Mary’s Catholic Church followed by a wonderful reception at Trinity Luthern Church down the street. Warm meant no snow, which was a bummer when you plan a Winter Wedding, but weather is such a small element of a wedding day. […]
Ice Queen Maternity Session :: Brooks Alberta Photographer ::
Lake Newell at Kinbrook Island Provincial Park never looked so good! Dressed in a blue and purple haze, with jagged ice chucks bursting through, the frozen lake provided a brilliant backdrop for a collaborative maternity session. To be honest, I was nervous. I had this idea in my head of what I wanted, but sometimes […]
