 This little guy was so good for his shoot. After he fell asleep he was out the whole time! He even got some photos with Dad's tractors!
 I had a great time taking his photos and visiting with his Mom.

Week in Review: Transition into Fall



     Fall has almost officially been here for a week and even though the weather has been more like summer the past few days you can definitely feel and see the change of season.
     Fall was never my favourite season but I am starting to like it more and more and now I am excited that it is here. I love all the colours, the change in fashion, the food, and especially the golden light in the evenings. I also love the transitions the season brings:

 Wedding Shoots to Family Shoots
Sandals to Boots
T-Shirts to Sweaters
Ice Tea to Hot Tea
Green to Orange

 I hope everyone has a great fall season and embraces all the transitions that it brings. I know I am definitely excited for all the family shoots this fall as I love taking photos in the leaves and the beautiful golden light! 
Cheers to Fall!

Sneak Peek: Engagement Shoot {Kyle Engagement Photographer}

  I love engagement shoots and I had such a great time with these two! They picked out some awesome locations and were up for anything! Once again it was a bright and sunny summer day. We went to a few different locations including the rodeo arena. She is a barrel racer and he is a bronc rider so I love how that gave their photos a personal touch. I hope you enjoy their sneak peek.

Week in Review: Walking, Walking and More Walking


 This past week has been a busy one! Lot's of photo shoots, a wedding and working on getting caught up on editing. My horses also got worked on this week, while they are on rest, I am having to hand-walk them multiple times a day to keep things in place and to loosen their sore muscles. It is a great break in-between editing and I am really enjoying the nice weather and the break for my eyes. I hope everyone is enjoying the last official days of summer!

Sneak Peek: Multi-Family Shoot Part 1 {Biggar Family Photographer}

 I had a great time taking this families' photos. It was a hot bright day but we found some shade at an old house with some family history. We all had to watch out for hidden holes in the grass but it was worth it.
 Here is a sneak peek from part 1 of their multi-family shoot. Part 2 is coming soon! I Hope you enjoy them!

Week in Review: Spruce Meadows and 100th Blog Post!


  This is the 100th post on my blog and to celebrate I thought I would share some of the photos I took this past weekend at the Spruce Meadows Masters! I love going to The Masters. There are so many things to see and do: the celebration of different cultures, the Queen's jubilee, great entertainment, shopping and of course, the horses!
 This year we went on Sunday and watched the CN International along with a tribute to Hickstead. Last year we watched Eric Lamaze and Hickstead win this event and this year we payed tribute to one of the greatest show jumping horses of all time.
  We had a great time and enjoyed the nice weather and the shopping!
   Enjoy!

Sneak Peek: Wedding Shoot {Kyle Wedding Photographer}

 This wedding was so beautiful and fun! What a great group to photograph! These two got married on one of the hottest days of the summer in a beautiful little country church. Everything about their day was perfect and I really enjoyed taking in all the details of their day. It was hard to pick just a few photos to share. I hope you enjoy their sneak peek!

I just had to put this one on. It made me laugh!

Week in Review: Changing Colours



   September is here, harvest is over and lake season is quickly coming to an end. Even though it is still technically summer it always feels like as soon as harvest ends and the kids are back in school that it is fall. The weather has been cooler and the hotter days don't bring the same kind of heat that you get in the summer.
   This time of year is always bittersweet for me. I am sad to see summer go, but I do look forward to all that fall brings. Getting back into a routine, fall photo shoots and all the beautiful fall colours are something I look forward to. I hope you are all enjoying this change in the weather and change in the scenery.

Looking Forward To:

- Shopping and Watching the Spruce Meadows Masters!
- Getting a lot of editing done
