TSN and Kraft come to KYLE!! {Kyle Documentary Photographer}

First off I just wanted to say that everyone that made this day happen did an AWESOME job! What a great day for our small town. On August 23rd TSN did a live Sportscentre broadcast from the Kyle rodeo grounds in front of a very excited crowd!
Booths were set-up giving away free Kraft products and there were games and a Kool-Aid guy for the kids. Roughriders were signing autographs, a mini rodeo was held that day for all the spectators and Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole put on a great show.
To top it all off the town of Kyle was presented a $25 000 cheque to go towards the sports centre!

All I can say is: Kyle is awesome, the people of Kyle are awesome and volunteers are awesome!! Thanks Kraft and TSN!




Volunteers are the best!!


The kids either loved the Kool-Aid guy or were terrified of him.

A very excited crowd!!

Sneak Peek: 75th Birthday Shoot {Calgary Documentary Photographer}

I have been a little bit behind in posting some of the pics from a couple of my shoots from earlier this month.
Before we left on vacation for Las Vegas we spent a weekend in Calgary. I was asked to take pictures at this 75th birthday party. It was a great time. Lots of good food, friends and enjoying the lake and the nice weather. All-in-all a good day!
Happy Birthday!




 The grandkids!

Sneak Peek: Family Shoot {Kyle Family Photographer}

I got to hang out with these three boys the other day. The older two gave me a tour of their toys and showed me their new baby brother. It won't be long until he is following right behind them! Thanks for being so good and so much fun!

Sneak Peek: Engagement Shoot {Kyle Engagement Photography}

I have been MIA for the past week on holidays. This week back is busy with photo shoots and what a great way to start it off with this engagement shoot in my hometown!
These two were very natural in front of the camera and fun to work with! They had some ideas, I had some ideas which made the shoot very laid back and fun!
I had a hard time just picking out a few pics from this shoot. I hope they enjoy the sneak peek!

An Evening With Joe Sakic {Swift Current Documentary Photographer}


This summer I was asked to be the photographer at Joe Sakic's induction into the Swift Current Hockey Hall of Fame. It took place at the Swift Current Credit Union I-plex on August 6th. What a great experience! The food was excellent, there were a lot of people, lots of autographs and some great entertainment from the round table discussion at the end.  Congratulations Joe, I hope you enjoyed your night!

Sneak Peek: Family Shoot {Clearwater Lake Family Photographer}

I ended a busy week of photo shoots with this family shoot. What a great way to end the week! It was pretty windy and cold on their side of the lake so we took a few quick pics then headed to the more sheltered main beach for some more family shots and some fun candid shots. Playground shots are just too fun!

Sneak Peek: Grandkids Shoot {Kyle Family Photographer}


I love taking pictures of kids, they are always so expressive! So when I was asked to take some grandchildren photos the other day I was really looking forward to it. The sun went behind a cloud just as we started shooting. The mosquitos were bad but the light was great! Here are some sneak peek shots from that evening.

Sneak Peek: Family Shoot {Clearwater Lake Family Photographer}

This week is a busy week for photo shoots. I can say I am really looking forward to it and I think it is off to a pretty good start with this multi-family shoot. We took their pictures at Clearwater Lake. It was really windy at their cabin so we took a few there and then headed to Main Beach, which was much calmer and warmer. It was a great place for family photos. The kids could play in between the more posed family shots and I had a great time taking candids in-between.
Here is a sneak peek from their shoot the other day!








As we were walking back after the shoot this little guy jumped out and scared us from behind the bushes! He then gave me a golf cart ride home (with help from his grandma).

Sneak Peek: Wedding Shoot {Swift Current Wedding Photographer}

A couple of weekends ago I drove to Swift Current to be one of the photographers at this wedding. The bride asked me in the spring if I would capture the guests and the details of her big day. I was so excited and had a blast taking pictures of all the little details and the guests at the wedding. I took some at the church and then at their reception and dance. I loved their colours and they did an awesome job decorating the family shop for the dance! Thank You for letting me be part of your special day.

And since I LOVE details here are a few!
