Some sessions just make my heart so happy — and this one with Alycia, Josh, and Gwen absolutely did. After last year’s surprise engagement and family session, it was so lovely to see them again this season for something a little simpler — just relaxed, easygoing family photos and time spent together.


We met on a calm, cool late fall morning, that quiet in-between time when winter’s starting to settle in. The air was crisp, the light soft and gentle — and besides a few distant sounds of target practice off in the hills, it was mellow and peaceful in the best way.


It’s always such a joy to photograph returning clients, and getting to watch Gwen grow is the sweetest part of all. Her little smiles, her curiosity, the way she lights up when she’s with Mom and Dad — it’s so special to witness each new stage and see how their bond keeps deepening.


The morning was full of laughter, snuggles, and that easy connection that happens when families are simply being themselves.


Thank you, Alycia, Josh & Gwen, for trusting me once again to capture your story. Watching your family grow and change through the years is truly such a gift. 🍂❄️

Some sessions just feel extra special — and this one out at the Lundbom Lake grasslands definitely did. The golden fall light, the open hills, and the quiet calm of the season set the perfect scene for a little celebration of love.


For Colleen and John, this was their first time having professional photos taken in ages — a sweet anniversary treat to themselves after many years together. Their pup, Riesling, happily tagged along, adding a few tail wags and playful moments that made the whole thing even more memorable.
​

There was no fuss or posing — just two people soaking up the moment together, the kind of love that feels easy and grounded, shaped by time and laughter.


Thank you, Colleen and John, for letting me capture a glimpse of your story. Sessions like this are my favourite — simple, genuine, and full of quiet joy. 🍂

Some sessions have a little extra story to them — and the Sutton family’s fall shoot on Kerry’s family ranch definitely did. The air was cool, the leaves were golden, and just as we hit our stride, the rain decided to join in.


Instead of calling it quits, we laughed our way through it — a little drizzle, a few quick dashes between spots, and plenty of cozy moments huddled close. There’s something about a bit of unexpected weather that brings out the best kind of memories.


The kids took it all in stride, finding fun in every drop, while Mom and Dad smiled through the chaos, taking it as only ranch folks can — with good humour and a sense of adventure.

Thank you, Sutton family, for embracing the moment and the mess. These are the sessions that remind me why I love what I do — real families, real laughter, and a little rain to make it all the more memorable. 🍂
