Time moves quickly. Kids grow. Parents change. Life unfolds in the most beautiful, fleeting ways. At Willow Phoenix Photography, I photograph families the same way I experience the outdoors: with curiosity, care, and an appreciation for the fleeting beauty of everyday life.

Based in Calgary, I specialize in natural-light outdoor family and lifestyle photography, blending candid storytelling with relaxed portraits. Whether you’re wandering through the forest trails of Fish Creek, soaking in the skyline from Crescent Heights, skipping rocks along the Bow, or taking in the mountain air at Lake Minnewanka in Banff, every session is an opportunity to freeze joy in its purest form.

Rooted in a love for nature, I care deeply about the places I photograph. I follow Leave No Trace principles, stay on designated paths, and make environmentally conscious choices so your session celebrates both your story and the landscapes that hold it.

Let’s find the place that feels most like you: in Calgary, the Rockies, or somewhere in between.
