Birth order and the role it plays in a family is a fascinating subject to me. The oldest child has a clean slate, they can forge the way if you will, or make a path and each sibling after that must follow that path but somehow leave their mark upon it. I remember growing up...

Nationally Accredited in Grad Portraits!
I really love photographing grad portraits. I enjoy taking young men and women who are about to embark on a new phase of life, and showing them how beautiful they are. I like to commemorate all of their achievements they have made in high school and I like to look forward with them as they...
A New Chapter
Graduation is the closing of a chapter, not only for the grad, but also for those supporting the grad. This young man’s mom and I have spent a lot of time warming the benches at dance class together. I heard her several times this year, remark about how much time she has spent over the...
The Beautiful Miss JoAnn
Miss JoAnn came in for grad portraits with her grad gown! JoAnn’s gown and the story behind it brought tears to my eyes and I hope this portrait captures that story for her family. JoAnn found a beautiful gown in a store and her grandfather wanted to make sure she got it, so he jokingly...
How would you photograph yourself?
My favorite colour is blue, my eyes are green, my hobbies are reading and watching movies snuggled up with my husband and children. I love camping in a tent, swimming, and hanging out with my kids in the back yard. I have a secret dream of being an astronaut and seeing the world from outside...

What is the Value of Photography?
This young man is graduating from high school. He is leaving home next year and heading off in the world to make his mark on it. How will the future turn out for him? There is no manual that will tell us, we can hope his path is smooth with few bumps but there is...
Dragon Hare Grads!
I love grad season! These young adults are knocking on the door that opens to the beginning of their life’s journey. Their parents are struggling with being proud about who they have become while at the same time feeling fearful and overwhelmed that their “baby’s” are leaving them. There is joy, sadness, pride, and worry...
Nationally Accredited in High Key Portraiture
On Friday, Jan 28th, I attended the Professional Photographers of Canada’s national accreditation judging in Edmonton. There were 90, ten image portfolio’s judged by a panel of master photographers. It was a fantastic educational opportunity for me to sit on the judging as each image is critique and the judges offer their insight on how...
Class of 2011
Quinn became our first Class of 2011 grad that we photographed. I love doing grad portraits in the summer/fall before graduation as we can get the grad outside into their element. This session became one of my favorite sessions from this past fall as we had beautiful weather, gorgeous light and a stunning model! Quinn...
