The Gibbons Family at Glenbow Ranch Park

I had never been to the Glenbow Ranch Park before it was suggested by my client Ashley, but I'm sure glad to know about it now - it's a vast valley with spectacular prairie views. Of course, the day we met up there was perhaps the windiest day of the year, and the fall chill made it a bit trying on Ashley's adorable 6 year-old daughter, but she was a trooper and never complained.

The wind, as it turned out, worked to our advantage much of the time, adding some energy and movement to the images. Check a few out:

Fall with the Cramptons

The Crampton family are some of my favourite people on earth, and so it's always a treat to get to do portraits for them. For this session, we just made a quick trek to a local Didsbury park to make a few shots - four kids means tonnes of extra-curriculars, and not a whole lot of free time.

Here are a few shots that give a sense of the session:

The Shea Family at the Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs

Holy moley it's been a while since I updated this blog! So, I guess, Happy New Year!

With the economy such as it was in Alberta last year, I had lowered expectations as to how much work I'd be attracting; as it turned out, it was my busiest year since starting the business in a long while. I'm so thankful to the families, business owners, and individuals who chose to hire me last year. I was privileged to meet and work with a whole lot of really great people, some of whom have become friends beyond our work together.

I'm going to play a little catch-up over the next little bit, highlighting some shoots from 2015 that I haven't yet shared. To start off, here's the Shea family.

I met these folks after they won my session through a silent auction at WO Mitchell Elementary school, where my daughter attends. I adore this school and the staff that works there, and so I'm happy to donate a session every year to their auction.

The Sheas gathered at the Botanical Gardens of Silver Springs for their session, a scenic location I've worked at several times. The whole family was fantastically kind and made the shoot a breeze.

Here are a few images - mostly in black and white, as it turned out. No real reason other than that's what I was feeling:
