and everything in between
Last weekend in the middle of a blustery snowstorm I decided to pack up my little family and drag them off to a flower shop in an attempt to pretend the snow wasn't in piles taller than me. What better way to beat the winter blues than bringing a bit of Spring into your home?! …

My mantra lately has been: the little things are the big things. I'm not even sure how it started but I've been saying it to myself a lot lately. So here are some little things that are my big things. They make life a little brighter. FLOWERS. I love them so much and …
Hello beautiful people! A little while back I asked my friends on Instagram if they'd be interested in a photo challenge if I hosted, and I received some pretty good interest. Of course this challenge can be done anywhere, Facebook, Twitter, your blog or even just for your own use. So, if you're interested in …
I was in need of a new location for an engagement session I had coming up, so I grabbed my cute family and brought them along to location scout with me (of course). The sun was going down, it was classically Calgary cold and also full of magick. There's something about being in the middle …

My little family and I hopped in our vehicle last weekend and headed out of the city. What we found was pure, indulgent, Autumn. Going on little day trip drives like this is important for our mental health. It let's us breathe a bit deeper, clear our minds and we can focus on the bigger …
September is such a funny month in Calgary. It's the in-between. The transition between humid Summer days and brisk Autumn mornings. I am thankful for it, for its golden warmth that breaks up our cold season. For the late nights, the chaotic days and the pretty flowers. Autumn, however, is in my soul. Thank you …
