I have been photographing this beautiful mama and daughter since Amélie was just two weeks old, and each time it's so much fun getting to see how much she's grown! This St. Albert motherhood session was so special - it was documented in celebration of Amélie's first birthday, which truly is, in large part, a celebration of Carike's first year of motherhood.
Watching the beautiful bond these two share is quite something. I love watching a mother and child interact so naturally with one another, and my big inspiration for this session was to just allow these two to be, exactly as they are. This meant lots of sweet snuggles and quiet whispers as mama spoke to Amélie in the most soothing, nurturing way. It also meant lots of kisses - my favourite to observe, as Amélie loves to grab her mama's face and go all in! It was truly magical watching mama and baby love on one another, and it was a pleasure getting to capture this special time for them.
Amélie + Mama | St. Albert Motherhood Session
This Edmonton maternity photography session was straight out of a photographer’s dreams! I met Michael and Cathleen on this gorgeous summer night for the first of their four milestone sessions. With the exception of a few mosquitos, it was the perfect evening for capturing this magical time in their lives as they prepare to welcome […]
As an Edmonton Newborn photographer, I love getting to witness families grow. Big sister Amélie was one of my first ever newborns and now here we are, just a few years later, documenting sweet baby sister Anouk. I have had the pleasure of photographing the Fouché family from their first, hazy days as a family […]
As an Edmonton maternity photographer and mother myself, I know first-hand how easy it is to convince yourself that pregnancy does not need to be documented. After all, your body has changed and stretched and become unrecognizable. You feel tired and swollen, and anything but glamorous. And yet, when you pause to marvel at the […]
Starting a business is hard. In fact, I’ve had a few jobs in my lifetime, and aside from mothering my two strong-willed daughters who are mini, fiery versions of myself, I would argue that building my photography business– with no business knowledge whatsoever– has absolutely been the hardest job I’ve had. If I could go […]
Choosing the perfect photographer for your Edmonton Newborn Session can be difficult. After all, there are so many things to consider when choosing the right person to document this special and fleeting time in your life. Those first moments as a new family, of bringing baby home and welcoming a new stage of life alongside […]
With each click of the shutter, your sweetest memories are, quite literally, in our hands. We hold onto them with all our might, desiring to freeze what life felt like for that brief moment in time. Those first, hazy days of welcoming baby home. The weight of your toddler’s arms around your neck as she […]
Choosing the perfect location for your newborn session is so important. After all, light and location (in addition to wardrobe, emotive posing, and so many other things!) can really make or break a session. It is especially important when trying to achieve the light and airy look that you see in my work to shoot […]
Nothing gets me quite as excited as dreamy, grain-filled, painterly images like those captured on film. There is something so timeless and nostalgic about this medium that keeps me coming back, even after spending most of my life’s savings on this expensive art form (mostly joking there). In all seriousness though, film is expensive, but […]
Shooting outdoors can be absolutely magical– if you know how to work with the light, that is. Most photographers have their preferred type of light to shoot in, and some will even postpone sessions if that light isn’t readily available. The deeper I get into my career, the more I understand this sentiment. After all, […]
