I met Michelle from Michelle Banich about a year and a half ago. I was photographing her cousins wedding, and she was doing the makeup. We decided to plan some shoots together. I can't even remember what our first shoot was, but I know I have loved everything we've done together! I feel like Michelle has a mind similar to mine, a little out there ;) Because of busy schedules we usually plan shoots fairly last minute. This snow queen shoot with the gorgeous Carli Hall was no e

When it comes to big styled shoots, I generally try to think of unique themes, something you don't see every day. I have always loved the steampunk style, and thought it would be really neat to do a steampunk glam shoot. For those of you that don't know, steampunk is "a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery." (thank you wikipedia!!) I wanted to use steampunk

Usually a couple times a year there is a carnival that comes to mission. It is just a little one, probably only 6 or so rides, a few games, and a few food vendors. Last weekend I saw them setting up and decided that doing a shoot there would be so fun! We had some beautiful weather and it has a really great sunset where they set up. I also always love the bright, fun colours I see in carnival shoots! When I decided I wanted to do the shoot I knew these two were the ones I had

I have known Kaiya since she was just little. Her mom is a family friend, and was my grade 7 teacher, and oddly enough, married my husband's high school principal. Such a small world! Kaiya is such a special young girl. Definitley an old soul in a little body. I knew she wouldl be a perfect model. I am so happy that I could provide her and her family with such wonderful images. #styledshoot #2016

I have done numerous photoshoots with Tanya. She is a creative minded individual as well and we often have ideas that would make for some fun and gorgeous images. I loved that little Otis was with her on this day, and that we were able to get some awesome shots of the two of them together. I LOVE images of moms and their children!! #styledshoot #2016 #family

Sometimes I find that I need to do some sessions completely for me. They dont have to be over the top, just simple, and fun. This shoot with Brianna was exactly that. It was planned very short notice and I love how the images turned out. Brianna is so stunning and this location is one of my favourites! #styledshoot #2016

My bestie gave me this stunning carriage for Christmas a couple years ago and I have been dying to use it! I finally got the chance and put a short and simple shoot together with little Miss Hadley. Isnt she adorable?!? I'm definitley think a more complex styled shoot with the carriage is in order for the near future! :) #2016 #styledshoot #kids

Back in December I teamed up with group of vendors on a beautiful styled shoot. Jaleh from J Events Planning and design had the idea for a winter feast theme. She wanted the feel of a cold winter day, forest setting, and food and drink to warm you up. With the help of some amazing vendors, it all came together beautifully and we were lucky enough to get a feature on Rue Magazine Blog. It was so fun to work with the team and I can't wait to team up with them again on future pr

So sometimes I have ideas for styled shoots that are a little out of the ordinary. I have always said that I am punk glam at heart, that I probably don't belong in Mission, BC, and should be living in Vancouver. My thought process for this shoot definitley shows that! My inspiration for this shoot originally came from Melanie Martinez's "Dollhouse" video. I decided to do a little different though. I didn't want just a pretty, ordinary doll, I wanted more a doll that goes a li
