:: Brooks Alberta Family Photography :: From Chicago with Smiles ::

These three travelled all the way from Chicago, via Las Vegas, to Brooks for their photo session. Okay okay, a bit of a lie. They did travel all of that way, but not for me. Equally awesome, is Danielle’s super fun sister, who organized the session and a chance for me to meet this sweet […]

Summer light is such a gift! If you’re a photographer you know there is nothing like late night sun flares and fields of flowers. All of that coupled with a happy little person = session perfection. Little M was a pretty happy evening person and I can’t get over her giggles in the last series […]

All grown up :: Brooks Alberta Children Photography ::

I haven’t planned and executed a session with my own family in a very long time. Thankfully my sister-in-law is on the ball and snaps me out of my little world every once and awhile and gets me rolling again. When I look back at old photographs of these little people I can’t believe how […]
