Growing up in rural Alberta (big sky country), I discovered at a young age
that there is nothing more incredible or beautiful than the sky on a cold
winter’s night. The stars shine more brilliantly in the middle of winter
than any other time of the year. I remember my parents pointing out the
milky way, the [...]
Brian and I absolutely love being parents. It’s the greatest job in the
world. Yes, sure its challenging, but nothing can compare to a little one
running up to you for a spontaneous hug and kiss, or hearing “I love you
Mommy”. It doesn’t matter what my day has been like, those two things can
cheer [...]
When I graduated from Hallmark, I was still hungry for more photography
information and challenges, I can’t seem to get enough of this passion of
mine. I decided to pursue my masters of photographic arts from the PPOC
so that I would continue to challenge myself as a photographer. One of

I had to share two more images from Brandy’s session at the Mannville Historical Telephone Exchange Museum. I absolutely love these two images and they may have to bump Kalla from the image of the moment! Brandy, you have the most gorgeous eyes!!!! Enjoy!

My Mom suggested the perfect location - the Mannville Telephone Exchange museum that was recently renovated and brought [...]
Brian and I are at a crossroads in our life again. I can’t explain the circumstances yet, except to say changes will be coming. We have two choices, stay safe or jump. Staying safe of course is the safe answer but then the question comes in, will we be happy? Jumping [...]
We spent some time out at the farm doing something I have many fond memories of growing up: planting potatoes. I remember my grandparents and my Uncle coming out and spending the entire day cutting up potatoes. Then the next day, my four siblings, my grandparents, Uncle and parents would all grab a [...]
We went home to Mannville to attend a birthday party. We had a wonderful weekend visiting with family we haven’t seen for quite awhile. My children love big family parties because it means they have lots of cousins to play with! At the party, I was able to photograph my cousin’s children, [...]
I graduated from high school with a class of 15. 12 of us started kindergarten together! One thing I love about this, is that regardless of where I have been, or how far away I have lived, these people have always remained friends. We may not see each other on a regular [...]
