After reading the poem that circulated recently, “The Last Time”, I found myself feeling very wistful, yet bitter sweet. My oldest son is six and in grade one this year, and my youngest just started pre-school for the first time this fall. Anyone whose children have reached school age, knows that once a child attends… Read more »

Celebrating The Last Year of High School
Here’s a throwback from a few years ago of a High School Seniors session, taken for a family friend. Lindsay had just finished High School, and these portraits were taken in the late summer, just before she embarked on her new life-College adventures, living away from home for the first time, and the thrill of… Read more »
Black Diamond Engagement Session
Here’s a engagement session throwback from a few years ago, which I absolutely love, and have to share! I met Mila at an Art Show in Turner Valley one August, where she purchased a few greeting cards from me. We started chatting, and we got along instantly. This was easy to do, because Mila is… Read more »
Welcome to the World! We’re So Glad You’re Here!
It was such an honour to capture these precious Newborn Portraits for this family at their home in Millarville, located southwest of Calgary. Aside from my own children, this was my first time photographing a Newborn only a few days old. Typically, my previous clients have waited for a month or more to have their… Read more »
Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

We had recently watched “Dennis the Menace” ( the 1993 Movie starring Mason Gamble, and Walter Mattheu), and I loved how Dennis’s wagon was filled with all of his “little boy” stuff. I don’t usually go overboard on props, but… Read more »
High River Airshow
Yesterday our family attended the High River Airshow, at the High River Regional Airport. It had been years since I attended an Airshow, so I was pretty excited. I had the idea, rather last minute, to invite my brother down to see the show. He has his own plane, so he flew in for the… Read more »
Hike at Brown-Lowery Park
Yesterday the boys and I needed a summer outing. Inspired by the Facebook page “Taking a Hike with Your Children” (I still need to buy the book), I’ve decided to set a goal of one hike per week for the kids and I, for the rest of the summer. I thought we’d best start small,… Read more »
Family Reunion-Fun times, Great Memories Made
For the several weeks leading up to our family reunion, I had that Corb Lund song stuck in my head “Family Reunion, It’s gonna be a good one”. Well, it definitely was! Some families have fairly frequent reunions. As for my Mother-in-law’s family, the Brodie’s, they’d never had one. It was more than time to… Read more »
Perspectives
Just a little photo share today, of my son David, blowing dandelion fuzz in the field at my home studio, near Millarville. Although we as adults have been geared to hate dandelions, the sunny yellow flowers, and now the puffy magical seeds are irresistible for kids. My kids have been picking me dandelion bouquets for… Read more »
