It all started when I was just a kid at a wedding with a disposable camera. So I guess you could say I've been shooting weddings since the 90's! I am in love with creatively capturing moments in a candid and relaxed way while making sure that you're having fun and feeling cool as a cucumber. I love finding beauty in the weird and wonderful and I love making people feel like rockstars.
I grew up listening to classic rock & country music, riding horses and jumping bails in farmers fields. I’ve been doing photography in some form or another for over half my life. I started playing with film cameras and when I was 15, I saved my allowance and all my bottle money to buy my first DSLR. I named her Prudence and I took her all over the world with me!
I’ve lived in Japan and Ireland and although I love nothing more than travelling with my camera and I am always dreaming of the places I will go next, there's nothing like coming home to Alberta skies. I eat Taco Bell when I'm sad and my comfort movie is Pride & Prejudice.
I can’t wait to get to know your story too, and I’d be so honoured to play a small part in helping you tell it.
You like a little retro in your modern. You're not afraid to dance in the rain. You appreciate the little things. You embrace the belly laughs and the ugly tears. You're looking for something a little different than "smile and say cheese" style of photography. You're into colourful, bold and playful imagery. You want to do things your way on your day. You're looking for someone to help you feel comfortable in front of a camera.
I'm not going to tell you what you HAVE to wear, like you only should wear beige and colour is off limits. Being you is the whole dang point! Wear what you love. Be with your love. Somewhere that you love. Doing what you love! Eat ice cream at the park. Play video games at home on your comfy couch. Take the dog for a walk. Go for a hike in the mountains. That said I have so many ideas and I am there every step of the way to help you plan your day or your photo session.
I hold space for everyone who connects with me and my work. I aim to create an inclusive and safe space for all. I will whole-heartedly document any milestone for any human without hesitation, pause, or question of gender, religion, race, background, sexual orientation, nationality, or “style”.
I celebrate all forms of love and all bodies. I embrace you and would love to help you tell your story.
