Anyone else struggle with what to make for dinner on a daily basis? Ok wait... I know the answer is yes. We all do! So the real question is, do any of you have any yummy dishes you make as like your go-to for those days when you aren’t sure the H-E--to make?! Haha . I was doing great in December. Making all these fun new recipes and now I’m just stuck. I’d love to hear some dinner ideas and if you have a great recipe (preferably healthy) I’d love a DM with the link! . Als...o, this bouquet am I right?! . . . . #abweddingsocial #yycweddingphotographer #canadianweddingphotographer #albertaweddingphotographer #rockymountainweddingphotographer #engagementphotography #creativelywed #rockymountainbride #yycweddings #barefootbrides #belovedstories #confettiwedmag #greylilyphoto #lookslikefilm #gpresets #lookslikefilmweddings #radlovestories #chasinglight #chasinglove #moodyphotography #beunraveled #lovewhatyoudo See more

What I won’t tell you is that sweet little Indie just really wanted her mom to look at her and not her sister, haha. This was more of a Mom! Look at me!!! moment. And I absolutely love it! Haha. . Thank you Kelly & Erin for trusting me to capture some beautiful moments with you and your girls last fall!... . . . . #motherhood #momlife #yycmoms #blackandwhitephotography #documentyourdays #childhoodunplugged #yycfamilyphotographer #yycfamilyphotography #familyphotography #familyphotographer #familyphotosession #lifestylesession #momtographer See more

I was looking for a fun quote about the New Year this morning. Maybe something inspirational. Maybe something that lights a fire in us. But I came across this one liner and I loved it because I’ve always felt this way about Monday’s... Monday’s are just mini New Years Happy day everyone! . . .

Taking a break. No I’m not taking a break from social. I enjoy Instagram and think it’s imperative to stay in front of potential clients. But, I am taking a break from shooting until February... . With everything going on in the world, not to mention the affect it’s had on me mentally and physically (stress can be so harmful to our body and mind), I just feel it’s time to step away from the camera for the next 6 weeks and come back refreshed and ready for a new, happier, heal...thier 2021! . If anyone is hoping to book a family or engagement session with me in the new year, I’d still love to chat. I just won’t be taking any sessions until February! . I’ll still be posting, sharing stories and busy doing LOTS of work over at Alberta Wedding Social! I’m just really looking forward to some time to mend from a really tough year. As we can all relate I’m sure! . Much love to all of you!
