Mandy & Mustafa were married at Devonian Botantical Gardens.  It was a beautiful day with lots of sunshine and warmth.  It was nice to spend the afternoon capturing images and enjoying the gardens.  The reception was at the Matrix hotel and it was a perfect location for a charming intimate reception.  Thanks to both of you, your families and friends for the wonderful day.  

Thanks to my second shooter Jenny Nordstrom for being awesome and capturing so perfectly.  

I had such a hard time narrowing down images from this wonderful wedding.  The weather was perfect and the lighting beautiful. Carla and Mark are such a great couple and capturing their wedding was a definite joy.   The day was filled with laughter, tonnes of love and a wonderful feeling of completeness.  They did such a amazing job during the photos and kept going even after many promises from me that I was finished.  

Thanks to my assistant Asheesh for so many beautiful images and to my friend and usual assistant Jenny Nordstrom for recommending her sister’s wedding to me.

Cheers, 

Kelly

Hey Everyone,

My busy season is about to start and I am looking forward to sharing lots of wedding, engagement, pregnancy and child photography with you in the next few months.  

I wanted to share some pages from a album I designed for a wedding I photographed last fall.  I think a album is a great way to show the story of your day and to have a keepsake of all the wonderful ways you made your wedding unique.

Cheers, 

Kelly

 This was a extra special session for me because I also photographed this wonderful couples wedding a few years ago.   I am so happy they have welcomed such a cute and smiley little girl to their family and had a great time capturing them all together.

Check out some of their wedding images from a few years back.  It’s awesome how much you remember about a couple once you start talking to them again and taking their photos.  

 Mandy and Mustafa are such a awesome couple and you can tell by talking to them that they are such a perfect match for each other.  They also seem to find so much joy in each other and it shows through their expressions and how cute and affectionate they were to each other during this session.

Looking forward to the wedding!  Thanks to my second shooter Asheesh for the great ideas and wonderful images.

I had a great time photographing this easy going couple in Cold Lake.  The day was full of memories including a hail/snow storm right before the ceremony, snow on the beach and a wonderful reception full of laughter and jokes.

 I love this image.  It is from my second shooter of the day, Sarah Marvo. She has also posted a few images on her blog.

Thanks for the wonderful day.

Hey Everyone,  Been a busy few weeks, coming soon are more engagement and wedding photos. But for now some sweet photos of my niece.

My niece is becoming such a wonderful little model.   Lately she loves having her photo taken and seeing herself on the back on the camera. These images really show her love of posing at herself in the mirror.  

This is definitely my favourite photo from that day.

I was lucky enough to meet Liz through my boyfriend, who went to school with her in BC.  Being friends with Liz is super easy because she is funny, relaxed, loves to talk and has the most awesome laugh.  She is also insanely photogenic.  I finally had the chance to meet her boyfriend Faris during this session and hopefully will get the chance to hang with them both very soon. Thank you both for being excellent subjects and putting up with the cold and wind, at least it wasn’t pouring rain like the original session would have been.  

Also thanks to my assistant for the day, it was fun teaching basic photography, having someone to capture candids and make everyone laugh.

My little family of animals are definitely a joy to be with.  Sometimes they do just the sweetest things, thank goodness for my iphone camera to capture all these brief but awesome moments.

Some of you might remember this adorable family from a few blog posts back.  This brother and sister are my niece’s first friends.  We headed out for a fun playdate and to take some more photos of this growing family a little while ago.   It is so wonderful to see these two little friends play and learn together and see how much they have all changed in the last year.   

It will be great when this kids are old enough to look back at themselves when they were first friends.  It would be really great to have some of these type of images with friends I’ve had since I was very young.   If you are interested in capturing images of your children with their best friends please contact me for information and to set up photo session dates.  

A lot of love from the big sister.

Looking forward to our next session together.
