Personal / Motivational Photoshoot { Jill, Confederation Park & Baker Park, Calgary AB }

I was super happy when Jill messaged me to see if I’d be interested in shooting some motivational, personal portraits for her. I loved the idea from the very start!

She’s been on a personal journey to lose weight, become more active and eat well, but what really stirred up this awesome idea in her mind was the fact that in the coming weeks, she will be kicking up her journey into high-gear and starting to work with a personal trainer! We discussed shooting some portraits now to serve as the “before” visuals, then portraits in 6 months time, then again in a year to show all of the amazing progress I know she is going to make.

We decided to use some fun props for her shoot to help bring to life her goals, what she has achieved so far that she should be proud of, and how she will positively approach her journey moving forward. Didn’t she do the best job on her adorable motivational signs ?!

The “Keep Going” message was something AWESOME that we randomly stumbled across while wandering down the river paths at Baker Park. Who wrote it or when, we have no idea, but it was absolutely and perfectly fitting for the photos we were there to create!

Couples Photoshoot { Lori & Joe, Fish Creek Park, Calgary Alberta }

Last Saturday, Lori and Joe met Justin and I at the Bannister Road entrance to Fish Creek Park. The weather was perfect, and we spent an hour and a bit shooting some photos as we strolled around the paths and enjoyed the gorgeous colors of the Calgary autumn season.

I can’t get over how lovely Lori’s pretty red hair looks against the fall foliage – isn’t she just so gorgeous?!

I hope you guys enjoy your photos! 🙂

Engagement Photoshoot { Crystal & Darcy, Nose Hill Park, Calgary Alberta }

The story of the location chosen for Crystal & Darcy’s engagement photos is pretty adorable!

I asked Crystal a couple of weeks in advance if there was a spot that was particularly special to the two of them that we could shoot at. She immediately thought of Penticton, BC – their favorite vacation spot, and also the place where Darcy proposed!

Unfortunately, this was a little bit out of the way! On the morning of the photoshoot, I headed out with my dog and scouted out a few different parks, eventually settling on Nose Hill Park, near the 14th Street entrance. As the three of us drove there just before sunset, Crystal blurted out, “Ohmygosh! I think the spot we’re going to is where Darcy took me for our very first date!”

Sure enough, it was! Crystal was new to the city at the time, and Darcy had taken her to the top of Nose Hill so that they could overlook the city skyline. Without even purposely planning for it it, we had ended up shooting their engagement photos at the exact location of their first date.

I hope you enjoy these photos of this gorgeous couple! Their beautiful baby Autumn (fitting name, right?) makes a brief appearance as well : )

Best Friends Photoshoot { Victoria & Hailey – Baker Park, Calgary Alberta }

When my sweet niece and bridesmaid Victoria asked me to take some photos of her and her best friend Hailey, of course I said yes. Getting to spend time with her is always great, and the fact that they wanted to get all dolled up in their matching purple grad dresses was just an added bonus! Aren’t they just ridiculously adorable?

They had a handful of photo ideas already in mind, including jamming out on their guitars and blowing bubbles, so we loaded up my truck and ended up at Baker Park just in time to catch the sun dipping behind the horizon.
