Cheryl + Greg Portrait Photography Session in Calgary

Cheryl and Greg have shared a lifetime of happiness together. 
Having just celebrated their 
20th wedding anniversary
Cheryl wanted to document the occasion with an outdoor portrait session. We spent the afternoon walking around Princes Island Park and down the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta. Greg is an amateur photographer so we definitely had a lot to talk about. 
Watching Cheryl and Greg together made me thankful for my own marriage. Looking forward to our second year wedding anniversary, I know that my husband and I have many wonderful moments and milestones to look forward to.
Congratulations Cheryl and Greg! 
I am so glad that I could be a part of your celebration and document this very special moment in time for you. 
Here's to another 20 years!

Wedding Sneak Peak - Heather + Dan

I have been a BAD blogger!!!
It has been a while since my last post and I have so many things to blog about, including some pretty big news...BUT you will have to wait just a little bit longer. I am in the midst of editing and completing print and album orders to meet the Christmas deadline. As soon as I am all caught up, I promise to post new photos from all of the recent sessions that I have been working so hard on!

Here are a couple of images from my most recent wedding - Heather + Dan
This image was taken by my second shooter and shows me in action behind the camera. 
It was a cold and frosty day, hence why I am all bundled up, Heather on the hand, wasn't so lucky. My gratitude goes out to Heather, Dan and their bridal party who braved the cold and sacrificed comfort in order to create some amazing photography. It was SO worth it!!!
