Today I  went on a road trip with my BF and our kids:) I was driving so I didn’t get to take pictures during the drive, but I did make a few stops on the way home. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of the sunset at Loon Lake as well as the lightening over Bear Creek by Meadow Lake. If you are interested in purchasing a fine art print please contact me! These images are available in many sizes and mounting options. Thanks for visiting!

Nat

I was amazed with the beautiful pinks and purples of this sunset. I've always said Saskatchewan sunsets will rival almost any location world wide!

I love how the sky and clouds look painted in this image.

This is another painterly style image that I really love:)

This is my money shot....the best one of the whole night! This one is getting framed for display FOR SURE!

Love the dual lightening strikes here:)

It was a good night! I'm enjoying the lightening storms lately.

Can you see the star streaks in the sky? Long exposures have such a unique look to them.

Summer has proven to be a very busy time for me! Personally we have so much going on right now, and professionally things are moving along at a pace that I am very happy with! Recently we spent a week on vacation at a local lake with some great friends. Here is a peek at some of the fun times we shared and some of the beauty to be seen in Northern Saskatchewan!!

Camping is over???

Meadow Lake Graduation 2010

I’m quickly learning that personal attention and time is what it’s all about!! From the client consultation to the session, preparation is the most important key to great photographs!! After a long day in session out in Waterhen I headed back into town to do two sessions with Meadow Lake graduates Scott and Katie.I was really tired after a long day in the heat and bugs, but hit my second wind quite easily when I arrived at my first grad’s session location. Both graduates were so great to work with and looked awesome in their chosen attire. What a great day! I hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating:)

Scott

I started out my Meadow Lake sessions with Scott and his family. They were so smiley and happy, I could see how very proud there were of Scott and his accomplishment in completing Grade 12. As we finished the family and individual portion of the session it began to rain (perfect timing!) and we headed back into town to meet up with Scott’s gorgeous escort and a couple of friends. We had some fun at the hill capturing these friends hanging out together and then they headed off to celebrate!

Congratulations Scott on your grade 12 diploma. You have a great future ahead of you

Katie

I have watched Katie grow up over the years, and she has continued to intrigue me with her unique expression of her personality. She has grown from a cute little girl to a beautiful woman in a short time! Katie was really fun and easy to work with. Her style is among the best I’ve ever seen in being a full expression of who she is, from the GRAD 2010 shaved into the side of her head to her sneakers with her gown, she didn’t miss a single detail in showing the world who Katie is.

Katie, you have been through so much in your life already, but you have continued to grow and thrive and become a really beautiful woman inside and out! I’m so excited to hear about your adventures and where life takes you, cause I know you are going to touch lives in ways you can only imagine!

Congratulations and Thank You

for choosing me to document this important time in your lives!

I enjoyed working with each of you and your families:)

Waterhen Graduation

This last year God has blessed me so much:) This is the year I made two commitments, first to grow in my work through my relationship with God (He has been teaching me:) and second not to spend a bunch of money on advertising, but instead to lean on God and trust Him to bring me the business I need. He has been so faithful!!! I am amazed at the recommendations I have been receiving, and would like to thank everyone who has put my name out there!!! Waterhen Lake Graduation was a result of my good neighbor Dean’s recommendation:) I so appreciate the good word you have spoken that resulted in new work!!

Grad day was hectic but so fun! My daughter Tamzen accompanied me as I had the privilege of photographing the Grade 12′s at Waterhen Lake, and what a great bunch of young people! Everyone was so warm and friendly, and I felt so at home in their community (which to  my shame I had never visited in my 35 years in Meadow Lake!!).

A Special Thank You to Donna who kept Tamzen and I company in between sessions! I’m looking forward to working with you this fall in your Bella Donna Session!! And a special Thank You to my beautiful assistant Tamzen :) I love spending the day with you my girl:)

Chloe

My first graduate was Chloe, she has such a gentle spirit and a loveliness about her. I enjoyed capturing her million dollar smile! She seems like a really joyful person, full of beautiful smiles and laughter, the type of person you just want to be close to. Chloe has a large family and they all were so proud of her. It was wonderful to see everyone gather around her and support her in celebration of her accomplishment! You have a bright future ahead of you Chloe!! I believe you will touch many lives with your beautiful smile and kind heart:)

Sarah

Next I had Sarah, she was a little camera shy, but the camera loved her! Her shyness made her even more beautiful (if that were even possible:) I’m sure that Sarah could have a successful career in modeling, but I sense behind all that beauty is a brilliant young woman who wants to change the world. I have no doubt she will defeat any obstacle put in the way of her dreams. She is a brilliant artist and I hope to see her work on display someday. I want to encourage you Sarah to continue developing your artistic gifts – you have the talent to go far!!

Daryl

Next I had Daryl. I was so impressed watching the family gather around this incredible young woman who has worked so hard and achieved so much in her young life! My favorite moment was watching her husband adore her (see below:) Daryl glowed in her pretty white dress that was so perfect for her! Daryl, you have proven that you have the drive and ability to achieve all your dreams! Never let go of the love you share with your husband and children, it will sustain you in the hard times. You have a wonderful extended family to support you and the ambition to accomplish anything you set your mind to! YOU GO GIRL!

Brea

I have known Brea since she was a little girl. She has always been the apple of her mother’s eye and such a joy. When I walked into the room and saw her tall and slender I almost fell over! She was just a tiny girl the last time I saw her and now she towers over all 5’2″ of me (LOL). I loved watching Brea’s mom Linda just glow with pride over her daughter. I have long admired Linda as a strong woman and amazing mother, but that respect grew again as I watched her love on her daughter yesterday. Brea, your mom is an amazing woman, and I have a feeling that you have a lot of her character. You will go far and accomplish much!!!

Anthony

My last graduate in Waterhen was Anthony. I was so impressed with the warmth of this young man. Some young men are very shy and quiet when they are in session, but Anthony was confident and friendly and so great to work with! I could see that family is very important to him as we did several different sets with his family members making sure that he had images with some very important people in his life. Anthony, this world needs more men fully committed to family!I have no doubt that you are a man of integrity and someday you will make a wonderful husband and father:)

Congratulations Waterhen Graduates of 2010! Reach for the stars!!

You have so much potential and a great future ahead of you:)
