Dustin & Irena- Cardston Wedding....

A day to remember...

We woke up to Southern Alberta's first snowfall of the season and I think we all felt a teensy weensy bit of panic. However, knowing the Smiths as well as I do, I felt pretty confidant that we would pull this off no matter what the weather. And of course we did. Aside from the balmy conditions (-10 degrees...yuck) we were able to get in ALL the family shots ( thanks for your patience...) and some pretty gorgeous images in the country.

Irena and Dustin- you two make a beautiful couple, and I want you both to know how touched I was by your hugs and kind words for shooting your wedding. It was my privilege to do it and I wish you all the best for the future....xoxo.

Here's a small preview, much more to come.

Urban family Session

There's no denying this fact...my big brother Chad has a pretty smokin' family...seriously. You guys were totally in your element within this Urban setting and you all photographed so beautifully. Sweet for me. Easy as pie. Oh, and I can't forget to mention how well behaved and camera-ready Riot was. Those jowls of his hung perfectly and he knew just when to turn that gorgeous mug towards me...I'd say he's ready for a Hollywood career.lol.

I'm glad we finally managed to fit this session in- you have NO excuses for not getting family pics done with a photographer in the family!

*Oh, and by the way, the reflection shot of your family has to be one of my favourite shots ever. Thanks for braving the rocks and water in your heels, Jenny.

It was totally worth it.

Love you guys.

Mcdaniel Family...

Carla is one of my dearest friends. We have been there for one another throughout our personal trials, life's ups & downs, laughter, and tears. We are both determined women who have put in many, many hours into our individual passions(businesses) but more importantly into our families. This is my 4th season as a photographer and my 4th time around taking fall images for this beautiful family- your support means the world to me.

I have to say that out of all my sessions this year, your images take first prize for being the most vibrant and colourful. And I have to agree with your kids, we couldn't have chosen a more ethereal park to shoot in, it was stunning.

Enjoy your preview.

Love ya.
