Karen & David, David & Karen, and a bike and a few guitars!

It's funny that since I've streamlined my wedding business, focus more on commercial and portraiture the result has been that the brides and grooms that approached me to capture their wedding days are men and women with such true senses of self that I feel like most engagement shoots are just following along, hanging out with friends and capturing a slice of their real lives. David's a musician, Karen's a nurse. They're just amazing people, period.
The bike you see in these photos was one that David found and refurbished just for Karen. I get a little giddy when I think about their August wedding...it`s just gonna be a great day!

Baby Eli

I've photographed a lot of people in this extended family and they keep producing REALLY cute babies. You'll remember Tamara and Michael from their belly shoot here. Who knew that that belly was cultivating the greatest head of baby hair Saskatoon or Calgary has ever seen!?! Really though put your hand on the screen over his hair...hair or no hair, the kid's still a heart-breaker!
yes, she really does look this young...everyday!

Little L

I would love to show you more of this amazing family ( I have NEVER EVER EVER felt so much love zooming from parent to child as I did in this home) but the rest of the family is a wee bit Internet shy so with great gratitude I am showing a few of this little monkey!

Dawn Watier Designs,One Year Anniversary

Last month Dawn Watier, owner and principal stylist of Dawn Watier Designs, invited me to capture the one year anniversary celebration for her hit boutique-style salon. If the one-of-a-kind decor and La Biostetique products weren't enough to draw a crowd that night, then the organic cupcakes, champagne and great company were!

Dawn and one of her many guests/clients/friends!
Dawn and her Grandma, once upon a time...
