Jordyn Outdoors
I have been waiting to get my backdrops outside, but every time I tried the prairie winds would get in the way! Well, with the help of some friends and a glorious sunny day, we were able to create some magic outdoors!
25 min West * Lace * Natural Light * 3pm *Romantic
The Universe Decides cards brought us to a church parking lot with a little forest overlooking a river and a pond! Thanks to Avery Francis for the glorious flowers left over from our flower mini sessions!
Sky High & Red Hats: Photo Essay
Yesterday Attieh and I headed up to the top of the parkade at the Forks to create some magic inspired by a red hat and old Marlboro ads.
Kylie & Mr. Bowin
Post Partum shoots can be a really important part of the healing process for humans as they navigate life with their new little being. Our society is so fixated on birth being a celebratory experience that moms aren’t given the space to explore less than desireable aspects of the experience and all of the complicated emotions that come along AFTER baby is born. Kylie wanted to do a “9 Months Out” session and while it was beautiful to capture the bonding with her and Bowen, I think she also appreciated the opportunity to talk about her experience with motherhood.
Who Do You Want To Be?
Who ARE you - not who do you want to BE or who WERE you - it’s who ARE you that I want to help you explore!
She is Mine and I am Hers.

Let Boys Be Feminine
(if they want to)
Clothing has no gender and textures can help you find out who you are! In this session, I photographed Brian in a few glorious gowns and skirts to show that all bodies can wear whatever they want and everyone deserves to safely explore different ways of showing up! At our Winnipeg studio, this is a MUST - safety, security and comfort are all the name of the game so you can show up as your best self -whatever that looks like to you!
I don’t promise to change your life.
As much as I wish I could change your life for you, it is not my life to change.
There are no medals.
If you are diversifying your portfolio, you don’t need to tell people what a good person you are for doing it - I break down the problematic ways in which photographers tend to look for validation in their work and how it can be harmful to their clients.
The BIG Elephant In The Photography Studio
On the blog today I am chatting about FAT - the fear of FAT, being FAT, and photographing FAT!
POWER IS FOR EVERYONE
As photographers we are trained to photograph in a very binary way - this can make it feel like we are forcing our clients into a very specific box - one that may not feel comfortable to them. In this session, we broke the box because power is not reserved only for men.
