A little while ago, I photographed this lovely family’s maternity session at Reader Rock Garden. It was a peaceful evening filled with anticipation as they prepared to welcome their second baby. Seeing them again at Carburn Park, now as a family of four, felt like the most beautiful continuation of their story.

Golden hour was truly showing off for us. The warm light settled softly over the pathways, the river glowed in the background, and the tall grasses caught every bit of that evening shimmer. It was one of those sessions where everything aligned. The location, the light, and the gentle sweetness that comes with a family welcoming a new little one all came together so naturally.

Over the summer I had the best little session with my family at one of our favourite spots at Bighorn Lookout in Kananaskis. The kids were full of energy, running back and forth along the path and laughing the whole time. At one point they were holding hands, skipping together like the happiest little adventurers.

Late summer mornings in Calgary are pure magic. Warm, golden light, soft breezes, and quiet trails that invite you to linger outdoors. There’s no better place to enjoy it than Fish Creek Park, where winding paths, hidden nooks, and open spaces make every visit feel like a little adventure. And it’s extra fun when you’re adventuring with your sibling!

This past summer I had the joy of photographing the sweetest family who recently moved to Calgary from Ukraine. We met downtown and instantly connected. They carried such a gentle warmth and kindness, and it was easy to see how much love they share as a family.
