Engagement Photoshoot { Crystal & Darcy, Nose Hill Park, Calgary Alberta }

The story of the location chosen for Crystal & Darcy’s engagement photos is pretty adorable!

I asked Crystal a couple of weeks in advance if there was a spot that was particularly special to the two of them that we could shoot at. She immediately thought of Penticton, BC – their favorite vacation spot, and also the place where Darcy proposed!

Unfortunately, this was a little bit out of the way! On the morning of the photoshoot, I headed out with my dog and scouted out a few different parks, eventually settling on Nose Hill Park, near the 14th Street entrance. As the three of us drove there just before sunset, Crystal blurted out, “Ohmygosh! I think the spot we’re going to is where Darcy took me for our very first date!”

Sure enough, it was! Crystal was new to the city at the time, and Darcy had taken her to the top of Nose Hill so that they could overlook the city skyline. Without even purposely planning for it it, we had ended up shooting their engagement photos at the exact location of their first date.

I hope you enjoy these photos of this gorgeous couple! Their beautiful baby Autumn (fitting name, right?) makes a brief appearance as well : )

Yesterday while at work, while on Facebook (but of course), I noticed my boss’s birthday had passed the prior week. My co-worker and I had planned to do something special for his birthday: he’s a HUGE Saskatchewan Roughriders fan, so we thought it would be cute to fill his office with green balloons, streamers, treats, etc. Even though we were almost a week late, we decided “better late than never!” and headed out to the party store on our lunch break to pick up our supplies.

Best Friends Photoshoot { Victoria & Hailey – Baker Park, Calgary Alberta }

When my sweet niece and bridesmaid Victoria asked me to take some photos of her and her best friend Hailey, of course I said yes. Getting to spend time with her is always great, and the fact that they wanted to get all dolled up in their matching purple grad dresses was just an added bonus! Aren’t they just ridiculously adorable?

They had a handful of photo ideas already in mind, including jamming out on their guitars and blowing bubbles, so we loaded up my truck and ended up at Baker Park just in time to catch the sun dipping behind the horizon.
