The sweetness of my life stems from the three children that call me mom.

Our everyday story is filled with chaos and curiosity. We explore. We play. We get messy.
It’s a whirlwind of bedhead, sandwich crusts, and muddy footprints.

It’s not always pretty, but it’s how I want to remember it.

This is me and my family. Filmed by Kyla Ewert.

Life is a balancing act of mother, wife, and self.

I am right there with you.

We probably have so much in common.

Mostly loving on our kids, relishing in their endless curiosity, and trying to keep them alive.

I love the way the seemingly unconnected moments in our lives are intricately woven together to form this ever-evolving story.
Your very own in all its chaotic beauty.

And that’s pretty amazing.

A BIT MORE ABOUT ME

Born and raised in beautiful British Columbia, but in 2022, our family relocated to the Calgary, Alberta area!
I was married at 21 to my almost high school sweetheart. We are both self employed and love having the freedom to do things we love with our family on our own terms. My husband is originally from Alberta.
Three wild and crazy kids, one girl and two boys within just over 4 years. Yes it’s busy. I wouldn’t change it for the world. My heart is full.
Oldest of 3 sisters. The care-taker, the decision maker, the motherer, the rule follower.
Introverted extrovert. I enjoy being social and I like to hide in big crowds. I also plan for the worst but always hope for the best. My personality type is ISFJ-T + Enneagram 6. What’s yours?
Evenings at home alone. Yes please. I’m not sure if it's because I have 3 small children and desperately need the alone time, or if it's actually legitimate, but this is my favourite way to spend an evening.
Early Grey Tea aficionado. Drink it constantly. Stash is my FAV.
Plant-Based. Watched way too many food documentaries, and needed to get my body healthier, so I now mostly plant-based. I’m forever grateful for the Oh She Glows cookbook. Ah-maz-ing.
Savoury over sweet. Except when there is some QUALITY chocolate involved.
Cleaning: not my fav. Love a tidy house, but I’m not the best at keeping on top of it. Good thing a little mess makes documentary images a lot more interesting.
Rescue Animals. In March of 2020 we adopted a street dog from Mexico. Flora’s adoption had been a couple months in the making, and she made it just in time, before the Covid lockdown. After we moved to Airdrie, AB, the kids found a rescue cat (Prim aka Primrose) who was staying at a local pet store, and they convinced us to get a cat. Fortunately Flora loves cats, so they get along quite well!
List maker extraordinaire. Like this one you’re reading right now. And the questionnaire you’ll fill out before your session. Lists bring order to chaos in my world. I love lists. There, I said it.
Worldwide traveler. In a previous life. Before the kids. Before the marriage. My passport has stamps from Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Dubai, India, Nepal, Kenya, Tanzania, plus lots of travel around the US of A. Sadly these were pre-photography days for me, but that’s just a great excuse to go back again, right?
Doula. Birth rights matter. Birth rights are human rights. I started my journey in the birth world as a photographer, but I saw a lot of things just happen to women, when the women should have been the ones making decisions. I decided that I needed to do something more than just witness and document at these births. At this time, however, I am taking a break from birth work.
Our family photos by Kyla Ewert

IT WAS Nice to meet you — I can’t wait to connect in real life.

I photograph (and film) the moments that weave your family’s story - the ones that make you feel, the ones that make you breathless, and the ones that sweeten with the passage of time.

A film from when my big kids were little. Here’s what I mean.
