Behind My Lens - Let's Begin!

Some things just deserve more than a quick caption. Over the years, I’ve answered a lot of questions about photography—everything from “What should I wear for my session?” to “What do I even do with my hands?” (Trust me, you’re not alone on that one.)

So, I figured, why not start sharing a little more? Welcome to my blog, where I’ll be diving deeper into all things photography, from practical tips to behind-the-scenes stories. Whether you’re prepping for a session, curious about what really goes into capturing the perfect shot, or just here for a little inspiration, you’re in the right place.

Here’s what you can expect:

✔ Session Prep Made Easy – Outfit guides, posing tips, and advice on how to feel comfortable in front of the camera (no, you don’t need to know how to ‘smize’).

✔ Location, Location, Location – The best spots in Cold Lake, Bonnyville, and beyond for grad photos, family portraits, and dreamy golden-hour shoots.

✔ Real Stories, Real Clients – A peek behind the lens at some of my favorite sessions, plus the heartwarming (and sometimes hilarious) moments that happen along the way.

✔ Photography Myths & Must-Knows – From the magic of professional lighting to why your phone camera isn’t the same as a pro shoot.

✔ A Few Fun Surprises – Because let’s be honest, a blog should be more than just tips. Expect some personal stories, maybe a Theo cameo (our studio ‘Dog Star’), and the occasional inside look into what makes a great photo truly timeless.

I love working with clients from all over—whether you’re right here in Cold Lake or making the drive from Bonnyville, Pierceland, Goodsoil, Meadow Lake, St. Paul, or Elk Point. Great photography is worth the trip, and I’m here to make it an experience you’ll love. So let’s get into it—because your photos should be just as fun as they are beautiful.
