These two… the friendship, the story, the oh so obvious chemistry that says they loved every minute of falling in love and cannot wait to fall in love a little more every day. Engagement shoots like this one make us giddy for their wedding day and what magic we can make happen with these two as our bride and groom.
The excitement, the nerves, the anticipation, the feeling that you know you want this more than anything in the world and at the same time have no idea what it is really going to be like. And then, you meet that wonderful little soul and in a moment you cannot imagine the rest of your life without them. It all happens in a 9 month moment.
This family has the most amazing good fortune when booking their photos shoots. They pick a weekend to travel to Calgary to see us and every single time they are delivered a perfect day at a time of the year that is never predictable. Throw in two of the cutest boys in the world and we are wondering if we should pay them to take their family photos.
Every moment with these three is playful, easy, and relaxed. They have that chemistry that they just get each other and love every moment together.
The crisp fall mountain air, a gorgeous view, autumn colours, the most beautiful bride and handsome groom surrounded by people who love them to the end of the earth… Lindsey & Curtis your day and your love is nothing short of magical. You two are so meant to be together.
When the wind is in your hair, the air is warm and fresh, and family is all the matters.
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” – Mignon McLaughlin
These two have the road paved for a successful marriage. The love between them is incredible; walking through the park and hearing their story makes us so excited to capture their wedding day in September… it is like everything in their lives was leading up to the moment that they fell in love.
Working with families teaches us to live in the moment. For the length of our photo shoot we are 100% present with our clients. We don’t worry about checking the time, our phones, or staying up to date with news. We are living in the present. Something remarkable happens in those moments; we see the world through the eyes of the children, we see the park as a big unexplored playground that needs to be fully inspected. We get dirty, we look at dandelions, we remember why being a kid is the best thing ever. This is a gift our families give us each time we work with them.
We are excited to announce that we have a new member of our family (and our photography team)!

We have forever been drawn to the beauty of Mother Nature. Yet, we now have a new appreciation for every mother we know, every maternity photo shoot we have captured, every wildlife mom we have been honoured to watch, and the strong mothers and grandmothers who have shaped our lives.
