Bonnyville, Alberta – Fox family photos

Jennifer — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:14:43 +0000

I LOVE farm sessions. You may have noticed that about me! I love the friendly people, the variety of backgrounds, and the frequency of which I come across awesome old vehicles! The Fox family was no exception. In fact, they hauled this old blue beauty out onto the front lawn, specifically for family photos. Loved it!

Yannick, Cynthia & Mia

Yannick is the genius who refinished my hardwood floors in the studio last year – so it was great to have him back again, and to meet his wife and daughter!

It’s a plethora of dimples!

Yannick is in the Canadian Forces and has been posted back to Quebec in the fall, so they wanted an “Alberta” picture with cowboy hats and cattle!

We went into the studio for some natural light photos as well …

Rachelle, Travis & the adorable little cowboys

How freakin’ cute is this family? We met in Vermilion for a quick family session a couple of weeks again, in between rain showers. I had so much fun with these cute little cowboys!

Vermilion, Alberta engagement photographer – Jerri & Mitch’s fun fair session!

I’ve wanted to do an engagement session at the Vermilion Fair for years – so when Jerri got engaged recently, I knew she would be the perfect person for this idea – her family is synonymous with the Fair! I pitched the concept to her, and she and Mitch were totally up for it. We had a ton of fun!

This family was AWESOME! We met at Lakeland College in Vermilion on July 27 for a portrait session. I had so much fun shooting this group!

Lloydminster wedding photographer – Lis & Calvin’s wedding

Jennifer — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 03:44:16 +0000

This July 23, 2011 wedding was awesome! Lis and Calvin are such a cute couple, and so in love.

The ceremony took place at Southridge Community Church in Lloydminster. I arrived a little early, hoping to catch the bride getting into her dress pre-ceremony. I lucked out with the timing and got to bond with the girls as they put the finishing touches on!

Lis is from Guatemala, and her parents and sister were able to be there for her wedding – and her mom laced her into her dress. Always such a special moment!

How gorgeous is this bride? Seriously!

It was cool to see some Guatemalen traditions incorporated into the wedding. This was the last prayer, Lis’ parents praying with her just before the ceremony.

Cutie pie flower girls!

Calvin’s first look!

This was another nice tradition I haven’t seen before – the couple kneeling, and both sets of parents on the pulpit for a prayer.

Instead of a sand ceremony, the couple combined coffee beans and wheat – symbols of their cultures.

Right after the ceremony, the couple cut the cake and shared with all of their friends and family who came to the ceremony.

It was actively raining here, but this wedding party was still up for outdoor photos!

The reception was back at Southridge Community Church. It was small, intimate, and gorgeous!

Vermilion, Alberta engagement photographer – Hallie + Chase

Seriously, how cute are these two? Hallie and Chase met up with me yesterday in Vermilion for an engagement session. Love them! They were so fun to work with. Hallie has the best smile!

Congratulations on your engagement – Hallie, you are going to be a GORGEOUS bride!

Jenna met me at the beautiful Vermilion Provincial Park yesterday for some portraits – complete with her handsome two year old black lab, Cash! Cash and Jenna were both total rock stars for their photos.

Thanks Jenna – it was a pleasure to hang out with you and Cash!

Marwayne, Alberta – Franklin family

Jennifer — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:21:47 +0000

Thursday night was awesome. Good people, kids, horses, dogs, awesome rural location and BBQ – the recipe for a gorgeous family session!

Baby Billie is not a baby anymore!

The “original” Franklins

Andrew and Leanne. Andrew has the best smile! Men, take note! I first met these two at the Slim Thorpe Gala when they were pitching in with the bartending, and I liked them immediately. They’re just good people!

My favorite, favorite family ever – Brendan, Kaylie, Holden and Billie. LOVE THEM. Kaylie and I plan the Lloydminster bridal show together, among other projects and of course weddings, so her family is just an extension of my own!

Krista, Casin and Kobie – Kaylie’s twin sister and her two kids! I’d never met Krista before, but of course, I now love her too.

Kobie started playing peek-a-boo. So cute!

Wild children!

Nana, Papa and the grandchildren … and a dog!

Cowpeople and kids!

A fun one – Andrew and Kobie were trying to rope Krista!

Handsome Holden!

Buckaroo Billie!

Cowgirl Kobie!

Krista and Kobie

All the ladies

I love this one – but we’re missing a few people!

The whole crew again!

Paradise Valley, Alberta – Ashley & Ryder

Jennifer — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 19:18:19 +0000

I had so much fun running around the Gilchrist family farm near Paradise Valley, AB for Ashley & Ryder’s portraits last week. Ryder is an ADORABLE two year old boy with tons of energy and personality – it was a blast photographing him and his beautiful mom!

What a cool mom to ride a dirt bike with him!

GORGESSITY.

I love little moments like these!

How can anyone resist that face?!

A farmer already!
