When you’re pregnant, well-meaning people tell you a million random pieces of advice. Right? Sleep when baby sleeps (totally useless advice for me). Shower and get dressed to feel better (meh, decent). Stick to a schedule at all costs. Don’t worry about a schedule. Have a flexible schedule. Go with the flow. Be rigid and […]

Do I dare say that it is starting to feel like a semi-normal state around here again? Yes, things are still very different. No indoor playdates, no restaurant dining, masks all the time and so much time at home. We’re still being extremely careful, but, once summer break hit and once I was able to […]

It was the last week of June 2011 and I was approximately 8 million weeks pregnant. (Or 37 weeks…but, I swear her head felt like a 10 lb bowling ball that was seconds away from dropping out of my body, so it felt like 8 million weeks.). It was a sweltering day and I’d been sitting in my […]

Camping season is finally upon us! We headed out for the first time this past weekend and after being in our home for the past 12 weeks, driving just a few hours north felt like a major vacation. New trails! New ice cream shack! New sunrise to wake up to! It was magical. We’ve camped […]

Truth…. What I really wanted to call these photos is DRIVE-UP-NOT-BORING-FINE-ART-NOT-IN-SCHOOL-PORTRAITS. But, that would have been a little much right? So, NOT IN SCHOOL portraits it is. Don’t let the simple title fool you though. Because these photos will be DRIVE UP. Meaning that you drive right on up, pop out of your car and […]

On the day Alberta announced in-school classes were ceasing (March 13, 2020), I decided that this momentous time in history needed to be documented. For years I’ve photographed my family daily, but as my girls grow, my daily shooting as slowed. They spend more time away from me and more time with their friends, which […]

Over the last few years, I’ve fallen in love with reading again, but over the past 6 weeks, it has become a total lifeline for me while staying at home. Most nights you can generally find me either watching totally trashy reality TV or engrossed in a new novel. It’s just the escape I need […]

Ok, so we’re all home and we’re all creating day after day, after day! Crafts and drawing and paper airplanes and paper houses. It’s all great and is keeping us occupied with our kids, but also, it can become OVERWHELMING! If your house is anything like mine, the paper and miscellaneous craft junk is overtaking […]
