A little about me

When I'm Not Behind the Camera...

When I'm not photographing weddings in Banff or chasing little ones during sunset family sessions, you'll find me:

  • Adventuring with my husband and our three crazy pups (I was only supposed to have one, but here we are!!)

  • Feeding my major coffee addiction (caramel lattes are my favorite!)

  • Exploring nature and all its beauty – from the stunning landscapes of Kananaskis to hidden gems across Alberta and beyond!

  • Planning my next travel adventure (breathtaking views are my love language!)

MY
JOURNEY

From Passion to Profession... how it all started.

My photography journey began with a camera from my high school sweetheart (who later became my husband when I was just 22!). What started as a beloved hobby has turned into this incredible adventure where I get to meet the most amazing people and document their most precious moments!

I believe the best photos happen when you're simply being your authentic self – laughing until your cheeks hurt, sharing those tender glances, or simply soaking in the beauty of the mountains together. My style is emotive, storytelling, and always relaxed. I'm all about those candid moments that shows where your true personality shines through every image!

Behind the Lens: Capturing Your Favorite Moments

Get to know your photographer

Camera in one hand, coffee in the other – that's usually how you'll find me! I'm a mountain-loving photographer with a passion for capturing those real, unscripted moments that tell your unique story.

Based in Carstairs, Alberta (but always ready to travel!), I specialize in wedding photography, family portraits, and engagement sessions across the Rocky Mountains, Central Alberta, and wherever your adventure leads.
