Thank you Joleen and Tanner for inviting me into your home to photograph your pregnancy. We spend the entire session tucked away in their moody little loft, photographing all the special details, Joleen in her lace sage green kimono and her vintage emerald cut heirloom wedding ring, while her and her hubby snuggled up, anxiously awaiting their little bundle of joy. Can’t wait to meet your precious little bub in the next few months.
YYC PLANT SHOP ENGAGEMENT
Plant shop in Inglewood is a cool enough venue for a Sunday stroll, coffee and cactus swoon, but photographing Brent and Lauren for their engagement photos in the beautiful space was nothing short of amazing. The light is soft and clear, the terracotta pots act as a perfect accent to the beautiful sage green cactus plants and kitschy crafts and cards you can find inside. Struggling to buy a gift for that friend who has everything? Plant Shop has something for everyone, we promise.
NEW BORN FAMILY SESSION WITH THE FRIESEN'S
Celebrating your first Christmas as a family of four is a big deal. Thank you Freisen family for welcoming me into your home to photograph your beautiful new born, baby Wexton, only 13 days old! This beautiful bub came home to a loving family of three right before Christmas, what a perfect Christmas present for mom, dad and big brother Levin!
CALGARY DREAMY BOHEMIAN BLUSH MATERNITY SESSION
The emotions of joy, love and anticipation are getting pretty real for these two love birds, as they expect their first baby, later in September. Just watch how their boxer pup Zara loves to snuggles her belly. Makes me wish I had a fur baby of my own again. Thank you Kendra and Krasen for inviting me into your home to photography you during this special time!
Dan and Alysha- INTIMATE BED AND BREAKFAST WINNIPEG WEDDING
Witnessing Dan and Alysha’s union was special enough, imagine being one of only 13 guests invited to attend the intimate bed and breakfast ceremony. The ceremony and reception were held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, at Alysha’s parent’s bed ad breakfast, the Columns, Alysha’s childhood home. The three story bed and breakfast was nothing short of spectacular, the perfect place for an intimate elopement, their hand written vows, and the family pooches, snuggling together around the bottom of her beautiful wedding gown. But before they said “I do” in front of their thirteen guests, we snuck off to one of Winnipeg’s hot spots, Stella’s , Bar and Grill, where the couple met and Saint Vital Park, where the couple had their first date for some intimate photos.
OH BABY
Thank you Matt and Natasha for asking me to photograph your birth announcement ! I loved visiting your beautiful new home and capturing this special news with you !
CHAMPAGNE ENGAGEMENT AT FISH CREEK PARK
Now that the snow is on the ground, I’m really missing the fall season we had here in Calgary and shooting with these two love birds in Fish Creek Park, to celebrate their engagement. I love engagement sessions, because they are a great way to break the “wedding day ice” when it come to photography. In my opinion, getting engagement photos is essential in developing a relationship with your photographer, understanding how to feel comfortable in front of the camera and see how you will photograph together as a couple for your big day. After all, you only get married once, so I’d say nailing the photos is pretty important!
GERRITS FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT IN ASSINIBOINE PARK, WINNIPEG
Do you ever meet people you instantly click with, and you just know that you’d be close if distance didn't separate you? This is how I feel about this family! I loved their energy and willingness to literally roll around on the forest floor with me as I photographed them this last October. Thank you Chantal for organizing this session on my last trip to Manitoba! I love how the pictures turned out and can’t wait to photograph your boys again soon! Max xo
SAINT PATRICK ISLAND FAMILY SESSION
You've gotta love warm fall family sessions in YYC- so happy we could get these shots so late in September and keep baby warm and toasty! Thanks Karen and Rhyan for being such rockstar clients, you make my job so easy and fun!
FALL FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT AT LINDSAY PARK
I just love fall family sessions! The window to shoot during the Calgary fall season is so short lived, sometimes it means snow, rain or less than warm temperatures, and a second location is always a great backup plan to ensure your clients get a good range and assortment of photos. Thank you Melissa and Ryan for sharing your Saturday evening with me so we could make some beautiful memories.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
It was my absolute pleasure photographing Kendra and Krasen for the third time this season, to welcome their beautiful baby into this world. Check out their jungle themed nursery and elephant knit baby swag. Welcome to the jungle little one. With parents like these, you’ll have all the love, kindness, encouragement and support in this world to be as wild and as free as your spirit wills it.
FALL BABY
Fish creek Park is one of may favourite locations for family photos in Calgary, especially in the fall season. There are son many beautiful colours poping up everywhere you look, and the longer you get into the fall season, the more golden yellows and deep burgundies will start to appear as the vibrant greens slowly fade away. We really lucked out with warm weather in this fall session, baby was warm and toasty throughout… Thank you Erika and Conrad for trusting me to take these photos of your beautiful family.
SUNDAY MORNING WAFFLES ENGAGEMENT
Yup, it’s a Shrek quote, but who doesn’t love waffles for breakfast, right? Thanks Joey and Heather for letting me snap some long overdue engagement pics of you both. Pass the maple syrup please- xo
PARTY OF 4 FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
Thanks you Thomas and Brittany for inviting me into your home to test out my new equipment! Loved photographing your beautiful bubs in your beautiful home.
BABY BUNNIES
If you go to Lindsey Park on any given summer day, you’ll be hard pressed not to notice the family of bunnies, not hares, but bunnies that live in the park. Watching Arman go crazy for these little furry babies was so precious, not to mention, also really interesting to photograph!
ROMANTIC, MID CENTURY MODERN ENGAGEMENT WITH SHARE AND ZAC
Congrats Sharilyn and Zac on your engagement! It was a treat photographing you guys on your gorgeous property in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We did two looks on two different evenings for these two cats, and in-between sessions, the farmers actually plowed the fields so we were stuck with no wheat for the second session!! They looked great either way. Check them out!
MIKE AND ERIKA
So happy we were able to squeeze in a last minute maternity session for these two on their last trip to Calgary.

Alysha, I can't wait to see all the photos of you in your beautiful wedding gown!
