In every black & white portrait - emotions speak louder than words. ⁠

The simplicity unveils tender glances, quiet smiles, and a timeless love that tells its own story. Each frame is a reminder of the deep connection and raw romance that makes every moment unforgettable. ❤️✨ ⁠

Oooof, I love black and white wedding portriats! 🖤🤍⁠

CHEERS TO FRIDAY!

Popping champagne with the couple and bridal party always brings a burst of joy—even if it means I get caught in the splash (or hit with a cork)! 🍾

Every cork, every bubbly moment, is a reminder of the love and laughter that make their day unforgettable. Cheers to capturing these spontaneous, heartwarming moments together! 💖✨

What an impact we made this year with Help Portrait! Together, we had the honor of serving and celebrating over 300 amazing individuals in our community through the power of a photography experience.

I have been the organizer of Help Portrait in Edmonton for the past 2 years and part of the event for about 10 years. Help Portrait is a global movement where photographers, hair and makeup artists, and volunteers come together to provide free portraits to individuals and families in need, creating meaningful memories and spreading hope.

Thanks to the generosity of my family and friends, we provided beautiful wardrobes, while talented hair and makeup artists helped each person look and feel their best. Photographers captured their unique stories, and we completed the experience with on-site printing (all thanks to ) and framing, ensuring every portrait was ready to be cherished.

This process is a true labor of love, and it’s a reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, skills, and hearts to make this happen. Here’s to creating lasting memories and spreading hope. ❤️

Different organizations have different means to help the community. It could be food or even clothing.

✨ Big news! ✨

I’m beyond thrilled and honoured to share that I’ve made World Photographic Cup Team Canada 2025! Representing Canada on this incredible stage—the Olympics of photography—feels absolutely surreal. 🇨🇦📸

While I can’t share my image just yet, I just have to say: being a wedding photographer is more than a job—it’s a love story I get to tell every single day. Capturing moments that mean the world to others is what makes my heart full, and this recognition is a reminder of why I do what I do.

Here’s to celebrating creativity, storytelling, and the power of an image! 🥂

I recently had the honour of presenting to a room of photographers at the PPOC Alberta convention, Light Matters!

I discussed what I am truly believe in the most, connections with my couples and capturing true emotions. All of my couples sessions and weddings have this!

A HUGE thank you to for sponsoring my presentation. They are awesome people and have a great new location in west Edmonton!

Thank you for capturing this image of me giving a live demo of posing (one of the cutest) couples.

I’m absolutely thrilled to have received 2 major awards at the Alberta image competition put on by the Professional Photographers of Canada! I achieved Best in Class in not just one but both the Wedding Open and Wedding Album categories!

Embrace the weather and take what the day gives you! A top stressor for a wedding day is the thought of rain and having the "Perfect Day."

There is absolutely nothing you can do about what the sky does, so ENJOY IT. If it rains, get wet!

Is anyone else reminiscing about summer 2024? I met a lot of new couples and had really grasped the importance of what I do. I get to capture love, and bottle it up in a photo. A concrete visual of your relationship and the love you share. I am feeling extra grateful for everyone who trusted me to capture this for them.

Dear Adventure Couples... If anyone wants to hike up a mountain with me so we can capture your love like this, LETS DO IT!

Love is the quiet strength that lifts us, the laughter that fills our hearts, and the warmth that holds us close. Every glance, every touch, a reminder that in each other, we’ve found a forever kind of magic.🤍
