Kadence & Joel

Here's a wonderful mini session I did in Winnipeg with my sister and her family! It's incredible what you can capture in one space and 20 minutes! Family sessions are really great for the kids! Not only do I pretty much encourage the children to lead us through the photoshoot which gives them control and they are more likely to open up to me allowing me to capture them honestly, but we are also creating images to put all over your home! Having portraits of your family on your walls is a great way to boost your children's self esteem and self worth because they will always remind them of the fun session (that's why a portrait session has to be a positive experience) and they are constantly being visually reminded that they are loved! So plaster your home with pictures! You'll find that it will even boost your self esteem! 

Information about fall mini sessions will be available soon! I will announce it over on Facebook this weekend! So come follow along!

An Impromptu Laundry Day Photoshoot

When you see photos of Adelaide and Audrey, they are usually not dressed their best. Heck, sometimes they aren't dressed at all!! It's because most of the time I grab my camera on a whim, with no plans but to document them being them! 

They haven't realized that chores aren't fun yet, so being laundry day, they were THRILLED! They pretty much do their own laundry now. Adelaide talks about when she's 4 and how she will be the "laundry dragon" for the family. Wouldn't that be nice!? HA. 

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

It's laundry day!!!!

It's laundry day!!!!

Lifestyle Photography

What is lifestyle photography?

"Lifestyle photography is a style of portrait/people photography which aims to capture and document real-life events, situations, or milestones in an artistic manner and the art of the everyday."

Lifestyle portraits are undeniably special. They are taken out of the studio and in to your world which gives them a more editorial portrait feel on a more personal level. The photographs are brought to life and radiates the emotion to the viewers. There's no posing, no planning.

Just REAL life moments. 

Here's a collection of lifestyle portraits that I had taken of my family a couple weeks ago so you can see for yourself just how incredibly genuine this style of photography is. 

Consider having a photographer (like me) come document your life in your home, or follow you on one of your weekly outings, whether it's to the library, the grocery store, laundry mat, park, or perhaps a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's. Because these are REAL life moments. They are worth documenting!
