It was a seasonably warm late September day, but absolutely gorgeous. Tim and Kathy looked gorgeous and planned a perfect day for themselves and their guests. Camrose Hill is always a beautiful venue, but looked just breathtaking this day especially as the sun began to slowly fall. I love when couples are able to fully engage with guests and themselves on a wedding day and thats exactly what happened at Tim + Kathy's wedding. As a documentary photographer I almost need this to happen to make great photographs (and knowing there's a dog roaming around strapped with a GoPro to his back!) This gives me the freedom to roam around and observe interactions…all the joys, anxieties and celebrations that happen during a wedding day. This was the last wedding of my 2014 season and was such great one to cap off a great year. Thanks Tim + Kathy! Thanks so much to everyone who has supported me and continued to follow this blog as well. I can't do it without you! Enjoy the holiday season and be on the lookout for my year in review post coming soon!!!

Darling Family Session
2012 Family Sessions
Thank you to all of the families that let me tag along this year. The more time I spend behind a camera the more I desire a minimal impact during family sessions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with all out posed photos and I do some of those, but I dont think my brain and heart work best that way. Maybe I'm drawn to photograph real moments because of the constant bombardment we receive of fake imagery through t.v./media/you name it. I really don't know, but I find myself moving in a certain direction and thats exciting! I think I can take this direction a lot further, however and I trust God will bring the right people my way that will feel served by this approach. I am amazed at what God has done over the past 2 years. I always struggle with my abilities and confidence as an artist, but I am so thankful for the grace extended to me. You are all a huge part of making this business more of a reality for me. THANK YOU. I feel like I'm living the dream :)
There is no "in season / out of season" for family portraits, especially with my style of trying to document real life happening. If you connect with these photos and want to book a time for me to come observe and hang with you and yours, contact me! Please, I would love it. Sessions start at $375 for 1 hour of photography and include all images with your choice of mini-album (these look amazing!) or credit towards a bunch of prints (I think you'll love these, too ).
