Meet Baby Oakley! {Winnipeg Newborn Photography}

 

Big congrats to Holly, Jesse and Easton as they welcome their new little girl, Oakley! 

 

I wonder what she is dreaming about with that smirk?

She is unimpressed. But still cute as a button!

Vanessa & Mike {Engaged!}

Shooting outdoors on a beautiful sunny winter afternoon, with perfect light, a gorgeous and fun couple, and horses….it was fantastic! Check out some of my favourites from this session with Vanessa and Mike!

 

Thanks so much again for the gingerbread guys, it was SO yummy!!

Jennifer & Dave – {Engaged!}

This was such a fun two-part session! It is great shooting outdoors in the winter, gives such different look! But truth be told…Winnipeg is COLD! I love the two different looks we got for this session, and I had a blast with Jennifer and Dave. I cannot wait to head to Las Vegas with them in the spring!

 

Just a peek at a few of my faves below!

Crystal & Dave – {Married!} Montego Bay, Jamaica

Such an amazing honour to photograph this wedding, since I have known both the bride and groom for over a decade! And even more awesome when the entire bridal party is all friends too! I had such an awesome time with everyone in Jamaica, so thankful to have been a part of this day :) Crystal & Dave you both hold a special place in my heart, love you both! XO!

Just a glimpse of the day below, stay tuned for the Trash the Dress Session! For friends, family and attendees, I will be sending the couple the link to the full galleries shortly!

Enjoy :)
