I had a lovely park session with Aimee, her hubby, and their two adorable girls! Truly enjoyed meeting this gorgeous family! We had a day that was sunny but encountered some on-and-off sprinkles and the girls were so great about the little bit of rain as we hid under some trees for cover! And how aorable are the outfits Aimee put together – love the complimentary colors!
I had an absolute blast spending last Sunday evening in Riley Park with Deanna, Curtis and their three adorable children. The kids were a bundle of energy and had a blast playing in the beautiful gardens and chasing bunnies. Deanna and Curtis were visiting Alberta from Saskatchewan and it was a pleasure to be chosen as their family photographer. I hope you enjoy your photos – you are an adorable family!
Sophia, Jason and their adorable little boy Theo met me last Sunday in Riley Park for a family mini-session. We had a great time playing in the sunshine under the large trees and beautiful flowering gardens. Thanks for a great session!
It’s time to catch up on blog posts around here! And I thought, what better a post to start with than Aly & Trent’s gorgeous maternity session last spring. Can’t believe their beautiful little girl Tenley is almost one years old already!
Our maternity session took place at Fish Creek Park and we had the most gorgeous end-of-day light.
Recently, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a gorgeous model (Alina Cox) and one of my favorite hair & makeup artists (Crystal Cruz). With a dream time like that, you can bet we came out of the day with a gazillion gorgeous photos! Here’s a few I’ve selected for the blog. Enjoy!
Ohmygosh! I’ve been so busy lately, but it’s about time I got around to blogging these two!
Twyla is my absolute best friend in the entire world. Has been since we were just crazy teenagers growing up together in a small town! Needless to say, it was an absolute honor for me to shoot engagement photos for herself and her wonderful fiance Jamie.
These two live in Saskatoon, but Calgary is very near and dear to Twy’s heart. So are the mountains, so we decided to head out for a wander in the natural beauty of Canmore to capture their session.
These two are the definition of “IN LOVE” – each time I told them to snuggle, kiss, and hold each other, they did so more than enthusiastically! Their love for each other is so, so very obvious and I can’t believe their wedding is in just over a month.
Congratulations Jamie & Twyla – you are so close to me you are pretty much family and it will be an honor to stand next to you as you say “I Do!”
Dorothy and Jared are such a sweet couple, and I was stoked when they requested their engagement photo session to take place in Banff National Park! I absolutely love trips to the mountains, and it was such a perfect environment to capture these two lovebirds in.
Dorothy & Jared had a very specific photo in mind that they wanted to create for their Save the Dates for their wedding guests, and as soon as I heard that it involved sparkly red shoes and hockey (Jared’s fave), I was all over it! (Dorothy, who is from Kansas..and red heels! Get it? So super cute!)
Leave these two some love! <3
Misty is one gorgeous, glowing, stunningly beautiful mama-to-be! She’s gorgeous to begin with, but pregnancy looks incredibly good on her. And that big baby bump on her petite little body? ADORABLE!
We ventured out to one of my favorite fields to photograph in as the sun began to dip behind the horizon. This day, though gorgeous and warm for Calgary in March, was INCREDIBLY windy. At least a 50km/h constant wind, with gusts of up to 90km/h. Misty was such a trooper – she put on the super long chiffon maternity gown and flower crown I put together for her session and didn’t complain once, even when the wind was whipping her around, or when I had to keep stopping to run over and fix her hair, fix her dress, etc.
Thanks so much to this beautiful mama for your patience and constant positive spirit – the outcome was worth it, and you look amazing!

This lovely lady is a good friend of mine and fellow photographer, and I was lucky enough to have her be one of the first to grace my new boudoir studio with her gorgeousness!
Jenn had wanted to surprise her wonderful hubby with boudoir photos for awhile, and I’m so happy she did – we had an absolute blast shopping for her outfits, and even more fun during her actual shoot! Jenn is absolutely gorgeous and I loved how she incorporated her hubby’s surfboard and a bikini into the session – boudoir is much, much more than just lingerie!
Hair & makeup completed her look perfectly, provided by the lovely Shayne of www.beautifulbyshayne.com.
Huge thanks to this darling for allowing me to post not only a couple of her photos, but an entire blog post (obviously we keep your boudoir sessions 100% private unless you give explicit permission that it can be shared). We couldn’t have had a better model to show off our new studio in action!
I’m so very excited to unveil these photos of HelloLuv’s new in-home boudoir studio!
A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who made this possible and helped in the creation of this gorgeous room. I couldn’t have done it without you!
The studio is decorated in a color palette of ivory, cream, silver and blush pink to keep the feel very romantic and elegant. I went with soft textures and vintage detailing, and I just love the way the natural light plays with it all, creating a whimsical yet classy look.
