Welcome Mira!

I just love this family! Back in the fall, we did a maternity/family shoot with Ashala, Chris and Sina. It was so much fun to walk and talk and stop to take some shots. The whole session was great!

And I had the pleasure of helping them welcome sweet, beautiful Mira in January.

We did more of a lifestyle session vs. posed baby poses and it was great! I absolutely loved watching them interact and catching some very sweet moments.
Baby yawns melt my heart!!!!

Sina was just chilling, eating some peppers and cashews. :)


Not just portraits....

Before I started posing and photographing people, I started by photographing every kind of inanimate object I could find, from flowers, to kids toys, to interesting shapes, colors and shadows. I still LOVE to pick up my camera and photograph the everyday and make it something special. 

This past summer when a good friend of mine asked if I would be interested in taking some photos of the Jackfish Lodge, Pro Shop and Golf Course, I said absolutely!! It is a beautiful course - if you are a golfer, make the trip - it is well worth it. Also, the food at the restaurant is amazing, so if you are camping and want a break from hot dogs and hamburgers, head on over! And be sure to stop into the pro shop - they have great clothes and gear. All around great place!!


 When some friends finished building a home to sell, they had considered taking the photos on their phones for the listing, so I hijacked that photo job. They built a beautiful home, so it made the photographing easy peasy!! :)
 
And for those of you who know me, you know that I am a crazy crafter, so my creations often get photo shoots of their own. :) Feel free to follow my Jules Creations (my crafting blog) to see what else keeps me busy when I am not behind my camera or computer.

And just for fun.... :) My husband, Ryan and I have been married for just over 11 years now and our rings have seen some wear and tear, but I am not sure we ever taken any pictures of them. So better late than never!

Families, families, families!

So many gorgeous families (and extended families)! <3 <3 <3

Watching families grow...

There is truly nothing I love more than watching families grow! Being able to take maternity photos for Joni & Derek and their daughter Berkley, and then newborn photos once their sweet little Kylie arrived was so special. I am so grateful to be able to spend time with such beautiful families!

What An AMAZING Year!

Wow - I cannot even believe that last year at this time, I had just bought a new camera body and was playing with the idea of taking photos of other people. This year has brought so many blessings, lessons and amazing experiences with friends, family and new clients. I am so unbelievably grateful to each family I have had the opportunity to work with and to those who valued my work enough to refer me to their friends and family! From the bottom of my heart - THANK-YOU for helping make my dream a reality. I am so excited to see what 2015 will bring!! <3
