I am so unbelievably proud of my friend and fellow photographer, Sarah Urbanczyk, as her stunning work graces the pages of the Spring & Summer 2020 issue of Rocky Mountain Bride. She rocked the shoot and I had front row seats to the entire thing while I assisted her. Dresses // Maide Photographer // Sarah...
We moved to Cochrane six years ago and with it came a new home with a garden that was a blank canvas. Over the years, I’ve been adding trees, shrubs, and flowers. When you start a garden from square one, it can be so fulfilling to see your plant babies take off! This beautiful peony...
I’ve been mulling over a topic for a body of work for over a year. It’s a part of a deeper study into mastering the craft of photography. The thing is, photography, like anything else in life, involves constantly honing a person’s skills. I work to be a better photographer, filmmaker, and all around human....
Those who know me know that my partner and I, in this wild and beautiful journey of life, spend some very long stretches apart. We are incredibly close and the time spent apart makes us appreciate our time together more than anything. So, when I sent out my pre-session questionnaire to this amazing couple, their...
It honours the Nk’Mip people and their culture, stories, and heritage. It’s set in a 1600 acre desert conservation area which is absolutely stunning and it’s such a contrast to many parts of Canada. I love the peaceful tones of sage and pine dotting the landscape.
I’ve always felt a bit nomadic with a serious case of wanderlust. I can’t wait to see what is around the next bend, what I’ll find down a trail, or what I’ll discover as the light changes and graces the landscape. On the day that I took this photo, though, I soaked-in the right now, my surroundings, the fresh mountain air, and I was filled with gratitude.
The beauty here is unrelenting and breathtaking. As I dream up where 2019 will take me, I can’t wait to discover new places, scenery, and… more mountains.

This piece of paradise is Two Jack Lake in Banff National Park and it’s one of my favourite places to set up camp. You can hike, explore, take in the views, or go for a paddle. It is peaceful and just what you need when you are craving some time in the great outdoors.
I spent my Thanksgiving morning exploring Wascana Lake and this scene was one of the first things to catch my eye.
A beautiful peachy sunrise in Kananaskis Country. One of my most favourite places. This was an early morning visit to the shoreline of Barrier Lake, to miss the crowds and take in the quiet beauty of the sun waking up to meet the day.
One of the biggest lessons that I have learnt as a mother is to see with my eyes wide open. Really wide… so that you see your surroundings in all of its amazing glory.
I might be a little bit biased, but I think our corner of the world is home to one of the most beautiful roads on the entire planet.
When you think of adventure and your own wanderlust, where do you like to go? Where does your soul brighten, awaken, and feel fulfilled?
You might have thought about, mulled over, and thrown around the idea of having a family photo session. You might have also thought… now is not the right time. You might have walked away from the idea of a photo session because the thought of figuring out the right outfits was overwhelming or maybe you just didn’t feel you were ready. Let me share something with you — it’s always the right time.
