Michelle & Jamison - Edmonton Engagement Photography

I had a great time getting to know this couple.  And they did so great despite being shaken up from being in a  car accident shortly before our session.  Don't worry, no one was hurt, but it's never fun!
This session took place on the same crazy-windy day as Heather & David's session.  I was hoping the wind would die down a little bit, but I think it actually just kept getting worse.  At one point, as I was kneeling & leaning to get a photo, it actually blew me over.  No joke.  Tiny bit embarrassing, but at least we had a good laugh about it!  We first headed to the Legislature where Jamison works.  Despite living in/near Edmonton for nearly 10 years, I don't think I've actually been to the Legislature grounds since our school field trip (in grade 6 maybe?).  No wonder so many people get their photos done there, it's beautiful!  Then we headed downtown again to hide from the wind by the tall buildings. 
Thanks again Michelle & Jamison!   I can't wait for your August wedding.

Heather & David - St. Paul, AB Engagement Photos - Edmonton

I met up with Heather & David in Edmonton back in May on probably the windiest day.... ever.  I think the wind blew me the whole way to Edmonton.  I was a tiny bit worried how the shoot would go with that crazy wind, but we managed to get a little creative, wait for the right timing between gusts and find a little shelter.  We started in their back alley at their condo near Whyte Ave, then headed to the river valley, where the wind was just a little too insane,and lastly, we went downtown where the buildings helped us out a lot!
I'm looking forward to their August wedding in St. Paul!

Raynelle - St. Paul, Alberta Family Photography

My beautiful sister-in-law Raynelle...
I'm so excited to have a new niece or nephew very very soon!
We did this "session" a few weeks ago, super super quick.  And by super quick, I mean in about 10 minutes... and it reminded me again.... there are very good reasons why I don't bring my kids to sessions with me!  We had them over for a BBQ and thought we would try to get a few maternity pictures in.  We were all outside with too many toys so of course Deklyn didn't want to sit still for pictures!  Anyway, we managed to sneak a few at least.  I cannot wait to meet the new Robinson Bundle :)




At least we got one with Deklyn!  You can see how enthused he was about photos.  haha.  love him!
