The final Manitoban Universe Decides photoshoot for 2021! The weather is cooling off quickly, so Jill and I took advantage of my only available week this month so we could have one last adventure! This time we found ourselves under a little bridge!
Jonny Edward in Phoenix
While in Phoenix I had the pleasure of photographing the man, the myth, the legend: Jonny Edward - an amazing portrait photographer from Denver, Colorado! I’ve always admired Jonny’s work, so to be asked to photograph him was an absolute treat!! We threw him in one of my spangly robes and set to work with a saucy OIiphant Backdrop!
What I Learned At The Portrait Masters Shootout 2021
Last week I had the pleasure of partaking in The Portrait Masters as a mentor, model and photographer! It was an incredible week full of incredible people and here are a few things I learned!
Chrissy In Arizona
Sue Bryce introduced me to Chrissy first on instagram and then in person in Arizona and I knew immediately that I would loooove to photograph her! Thankfully she said yes, and I got to do quick session in our makeshift outdoor set and make magic in the Arizona heat!
Karianne In Arizona
On my last day in Arizona, Sue Bryce arranged for me to photograph some glorious humans that she knew and the first one up is Ms. Karianne, a photographer from Arizona! We had an amazing time in the hot Arizona sun - I could shoot in this light all day ‘erryday.
Cottage Core Vibe With Micah
On a rainy day in August, Micah and I embarked on creating a one person tea party in the park near my house. Featuring an iconic Selkie puff dress, Micah made some friends with the local wildlife and slayed this session.
Marcella
When Marcella applied for my Dig Deep model call last year we were excited to explore Empowerment 2.0 - as a past client, she had already had the traditional boudoir experience, so it was a great opportunity for her to explore the next level and see herself as the stunning, lovely human she is.
Sam In Flowers
I am in love with all things pastel, floral, and princessy these days, so I convinced my lovely client Sam to join me outside for a fun filled afternoon at Assiniboine Forest!
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!
This Fairytale Is The One Where She Falls In Love With Herself
I asked Micah if she wanted to be a princess for a few hours. We put her in one my Mr. Pretty dresses and headed over to the Trappist Monastery Ruins in St. Norbert to frolick. We had some epic clouds and beautiful wind as we created this gorgeous fairytale.
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!
