The seasons typically mark the passing of the year. We start out buried beneath snow and cold in winter, with lighter steps we head into spring to enjoy the air scented with blossoms. Children scream with excitement as they fly out the school door for the last time, and head into a summer of riding...

The Art of Dance
To a dancer, music is simply a series of beats that are broken down into repeating counts. When a dancer takes those counts and seamlessly and effortlessly wields movement with them, they unveil the art that is dance. Brian and I recently had the pleasure of photographing the STEPS dance festival in Vermilion. Me, my...
Mannville Vermilion Highland Dance
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love dance. It does not matter the style of dance, I could watch it for hours and often do. It is a fabulous day indeed when my passion for dance mixes with my job as a photographer! What could be more fun?
Fight for the Carena!
We had the recent pleasure of photographing the Viking Skating Club’s annual skating festival at the Carena Arena in Viking. I have to say that Brian and I enjoyed ourselves immensely! The success of any club is dependent on its volunteers, parents and coaches. I really have to hand it to this group as the...
Around Town: Northern Lights
I’ve posted before about my fascination with the big, beautiful, blue Alberta sky. I love the nights when we arrive home under a brilliant night sky filled with billions of stars, the milky way, and the incredible northern lights. I love to watch them dance across the stars and never grow tired of watching them....
…and they danced on in to the night….
We had the pleasure of photographing the staff and students at Dance Impressions By Ryan again this year! We love dance. Our three older children are very involved in dance so this is the perfect fit for us! I love watching the interaction of Miss Ryan with her dancers as they work to make a...
Figure Skating
When I photograph sports teams or dance schools, I like to photograph siblings together. Having a sibling is a special bond – there isn’t anything else like it. It’s someone who has your back regardless of what goes on in life, some who you can fight furiously with but the next day, they can defend...
Highland Dance
I love photography. It is not a job or a position to me, it is my life’s passion. One of the things I struggled with while I was in school, was what type of photography do I go into. There is commercial, portrait, wedding, advertising, product, fashion, architectural, schools/teams and editorial to name a few...
Year In Review
Every year, I like to make a time capsule if you will. I collect news headlines, photographs, add our Christmas card letter and any other mementos that sum up the previous year of our family’s life. I love to sit down with these and look over where we were at that point in time. It...
Mannville Hawks
We had the honour of photographing the Mannville Hawks. I cannot skate well so I was nervously wondering how I would remain standing on the ice for four hours without embarrassing myself by falling down. I fell once but thankfully it was before I had a large audience! One of the things I love about...
