THE HONEST FRAMES

Turning your family's
every day moments into art.
I truly believe that the honest, earnest, simple moments are the most exquisite, and I want to capture them for you!
Parenthood and family building really is a long game - full of tiny moments, small rewards and baby steps - and I believe that photo albums should be filled with more of those than anything else.
​
I wish I could follow you around for a week, and capture photos of mini van sing alongs, walks home from school, meal time conversations, movie nights and freshly bathed babies. Because those are the photos of my own family that bring me the most joy. ​​
The Experience
The three things that make any story unforgettable? A setting that feels just right, movement that keeps you engaged, and a cast of characters you couldn’t love more.
​
So, here’s the plan. First, we’ll choose a place that feels like a part of your family’s story—maybe your favorite park in Calgary, a cozy corner of the library, a treat spot where your kids already know what to order, or the comfort of your own home. As a Calgary family photographer, I want a session to feel effortless, like another ordinary-but-beautiful day together. We’ll plan something fun—something that keeps the kids (and your husband) immersed enough to forget about the camera. And the real magic happens as soon as we add in the people who mean the most to you.
​Let’s be honest: being in front of a camera can feel a little… unnatural. Like you’re suddenly the center of attention, expected to know what to do. But the best lifestyle family photography isn’t about posing perfectly—it’s about capturing the way your child reaches for your hand, the way you instinctively pull them close, the way love moves in the smallest moments.
​
Every family is different, so every session is different. Whether we’re creating documentary family photography in your home or chasing beautiful light somewhere in the Fish Creek Park, I don’t count minutes—I shoot until we’ve told the story we came here to tell. Your story, your way.
Investment
​Every session with me includes about 60–90 minutes of shooting time, a beautiful online gallery of 30 downloadable images (with the option to purchase more), and a Session Prep Guide to help with wardrobe and session planning.
I always encourage families to book a free consultation call to see if I’m the right fit for capturing these tender moments.
There’s no pressure, no obligation, and no endless follow-ups—just a chance to connect.
