The weather was a little rainy but that didn't stop us from getting some beautiful photos of the Logel family. It was so great to catch up with Jen and Brad and their 3 kiddos. Nose Hill has such incredible and varied landscapes and although it's a bit of a hike to the top, the views were worth it. Here are a few of my time on the hill with the Logel family...

What a beautiful day to spend in the mountains with this lovely little family! I had never met Diana and Joe before our shoot but our time together felt like walking through Canmore with a couple of friends. And sweet Isabelle was such a delight to photograph. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful afternoon. Here are a few of our time together...

This was my last official shoot of my 2017 photography season and it was with one of my favorite families, the Roeder's. Despite the chill in the air we were able to get some great photos of this lovely family. I think this was the 8th year photographing Christine and Mike and the boys, which blows my mind. These kiddo's are growing up before my eyes and I feel so lucky that I get to see them every year! Here are a few of our time together...

I adore this sweet little family. Shelley and I have been friends for 12 years now! We were colleagues on the Cancer unit where I saw her compassion and amazing nursing skills when caring for patients. Life has been full of ups and downs for this wonderful little crew and Shelley's compassion and amazing skills are now focused on fighting Matthew's rare genetic disease, Hunter's syndrome (MPS ll).  If you would like to learn more about Matt's rare genetic condition and the research that is on going for these young boys, check out https://projectalive.org/. The photos I was able to capture of this family depict the incredible love this family has for each other. It was so fun to hang out with them for an hour in the park...

When it's -40 in Calgary, it's time to shoot indoors. We were able to get some beautiful photos of one of my fav families, the Chan's. These two boys seriously crack me up. Their smiles and laughter are infectious. We got a couple of outdoor shots very quickly with sweet toques and knit scarfs.  Here are a few of our afternoon together...
