GRADUATION . TAYLOR

2020 Edmonton, Alberta grad Taylor is the blog’s feature today!

Photographing anyone during the monumental time in their lives of graduating from high school and starting the next chapter means so much to me, but when it’s family it kinda becomes even more significant.

This was my first session back after the studio (and the world) being shut down for a few months at the beginning of the year. And it was so good to once again share some joy.

We shot the session at a few locations around Jarvis Bay at Sylvan Lake and even managed to catch the sunset over the water. Along with Rosie, the cutest pup ever.

The class of 2020 had so many things taken away from them last year. Which made these sessions even more special, in that it was something that we could still do to celebrate them.

Session Info: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 135mm f2, 35mm f1.4

RED DEER PHOTOGRAPHER . ANNUAL FAMILY SESSION

If you have been following my photography for a while, you might have seen this family a few times before. That’s because I have been lucky enough to work with them almost every year since 2010! How amazing is that?? I think I will have to do a separate blog post to look back over the last 10 years.

This session was held on their business property, just outside or Red Deer, Alberta. Between the rooftop, inside the shop and in the old truck, we could have shot the session all day!

And one more thing - let’s just take a minute to talk about this Rock N’ Roll theme that they pulled together. I hope it gives you inspiration to think outside the box for your next session!

RED DEER FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER . OUTDOOR SESSION

Can we first just talk about this incredible light we had for this family session? This doesn’t always happen, and when you choose an outdoor photo session, you can never have a guarantee on the weather. So when the stars align and we are lucky to have a beautiful night like this, it’s something to celebrate!

This family session was from last fall and photographed (at one of my favourite locations) here in Sylvan Lake, just outside of Red Deer, Alberta. Between a mix of lifestyle and posed images, I loved how this session turned out.

And for those of you with a long enough attention span to scroll to the end of this post, have a quick peak at a couple of behind the scenes images!
