A quick sneak of Breigh & Todd two days after their destination wedding in the very beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I love stealing my bride and groom after their wedding day when we can get those dresses wet and sandy!
Welcome Baby M
Gentle sweet memories.
Wrapped in warmth.
Snuggled with care.
Cherished forever.
A sweet baby girl in-studio as she makes her entrance to the world.
Illumination with Robbie Craig and Graeme Shaw
Renowned artist Graeme Shaw has teamed up with talented local artist Robbie Craig for an incredible art show that runs this Thursday December 8 through Sunday December 11 at Visual Effects in downtown Yellowknife, 4905 48 Street.
Stop by Opening Night, Thursday December 8, between 7pm and 11pm to meet both Graeme and Robbie while you enjoy their latest creations.
I look forward it!
Nicole and Robbie welcome Beautiful Baby H
This past summer I was lucky enough to begin a year long journey with a beautiful couple. In the Fall, I photographed Nicole and Robbie as they counted down the days to the arrival of their teeny tiny little rockstar. (Some of you may remember a very cool ultrasound picture floating around Facebook with a baby showing off a rockstar sign with her tiny little fingers- inside this baby bump is that baby!) Unfortunately I had to cancel Robbie and Nicole’s first late August session, but luckily Baby H patiently waited inside mommy’s tummy until we could do our session a few weeks later! And I am so happy she did. It was wonderful working with both Nicole and Robbie. And, once Baby H arrived, she was as much a perfectly content model as her mom and dad!
I so look forward to watching this little one grow!
See my next post about a very exciting art show that is THIS week!

Sandra & Allan
I am excited to finally share Sandra and Allan’s very special day! There is so much that could be said about this absolutely wonderful wedding day! The best of which reserved for their great guests and phenomenal emcee! Everything was wonderful. From the people Sandra and Allan shared their very special wedding day with to the early Fall warm weather. From the details of the picture perfect getting ready locations to the perfectly sentimental getaway car.
I am thankful to have been part of such a special day. And thankful for such wonderful clients who have been patiently waiting to be blogged!
The Reids
I adore the summer countdown to when this family is together again. Fun family summer time is great, but when I get to be a Reid for the day, it’s even better! I get to wander up the highway to Prelude Lake where I am met by a boat with three captains, two of which are under three feet tall and cute as can be! And then off to a little piece of paradise for some adventures and laughs with great company.
We are two for two because no one fell off the dock again this year…. but there is always next year!
Thanks again for a fantastic day with fantastic company.
November 27, 2011 - 12:17 AM - I absolutely adore the Reids! You can done it again...captured there love of life and their love for each other so well. XOX
November 27, 2011 - 12:19 AM - That is meant to be you "have" done it again...oops! ; ) And also meant to be "their" love of life...need to proof read my postes. XOX
November 27, 2011 - 1:22 PM - Such an amazing and beautiful family, inside and out. Lot's of love. xx T
Arlene & Beau
Arlene and Beau were married at the picturesque Devonian Gardens in Edmonton, AB this past summer. Every last detail of this wedding was perfect- right down to the comic book cover table ‘numbers’ at their River Cree Reception! We started the earliest I ever have for a wedding day- 7am- and off we went from there for a very full day of fun, laughs, tears, and more fun! Their entire wedding party was even game to run around the Gardens in record time to make it through most of the ‘hot’ spots I had scoped out. The only downfall of the entire day was my choice to climb into a tree for a better angle of the bride and groom next to a small creek. The result was a broken toe- but we got the shot!
Before a wedding, I meet with the bride and groom and always ask if there is anything in particular they are looking for. Beau and Arlene both said they were game for whatever I dreamed up, but Beau did have one special request. And, I can honestly say it was a first: to recreate the image of The Last Supper at the reception with their entire wedding party. There wedding party studied their roles leading up to the big day and Beau’s wish was granted!
Congratulations you two! A stunning start to a beautiful life together.
November 23, 2011 - 6:14 PM - I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!!! You are amazing and I am just so Happy!!!!
The C Family
I enjoy this bunch so much. The kids are awesome, they have more character than they know what to do with. And mom and dad are hilarious and up for any kind of family fun! I howled when Mr. T, followed closely by younger brother Mr. C, broke out into a hilarious meld of dance-off meets statues in the middle of a parking lot!
Now that I am blogging this, I realize that I am blogging two sessions back to back that both include the beach (different beaches in different towns though and photographed weeks apart!).
The H Families
I adore photographing in Hay River and can’t wait to do more of it next summer. This family makes my time in Hay River so wonderful! I have now had the opportunity to photograph parts of this extended family in Hay River and other parts of it in Yellowknife. I had to pinch myself when I was eyeing up the water of Hay River’s incredible beach and this family piped up and said ‘yep, we’ll do whatever you want us to’. And that they did! I adore the shots of them just having fun together and joking with their grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents and siblings! I hope they enjoy them for years to come!
November 21, 2011 - 7:22 PM - Aw, what wonderful family photographs! I'm so glad that the blogging has resumed...provides something to look at and enjoy when I need to take a break from school studies :) Thanks Caitlin!
Breigh & Todd
I am really really really looking forward to photographing Todd and Breigh’s wedding in the Spring of 2012. It is one of three Spring destination weddings I will have the privilege of shooting, and this very special union is the first. Given that winter’s frigid temperatures have finally set-in in the North, Dominican is sounding absolutely lovely right about now!
I met Todd years ago. He is a pilot who is notorious for his love of warm weather. Unfortunately, it seems Todd held his compass upside-down and found himself starting his career as a northern bush pilot all the way up in Yellowknife. He drove into Yellowknife in the middle of winter and moved in with a co-worker- my then boyfriend, now hubby, Jeff. I can remember many nights sitting on the couch with Todd, watching TV. Him on his laptop, me on mine. I edited many photography sessions in the early days of my career with Todd right next to me. Todd used to always tell me: One day when I find the right girl, you’re shooting my wedding. I would smile at the nice compliment, but I would also laugh at Todd and remind him that once he found that perfect girl, she would be picking the photographer!
Well years passed and last Christmas I sat at my parent’s home in Kelowna and read on Facebook that Todd had found his perfect girl. Todd asked his girlfriend Breigh to marry him on a surf board in the middle of the ocean in Australia. (I love that!) Within hours of finding out, I received a text that made me blush and excitedly giggle all day. It was Todd saying thanks for the congrats and he hoped I was game to shoot a beach wedding! I love weddings, but a wedding, for very special people, on a beach… sounds over the moon to me!
This past summer, I was able to photograph an engagement session for Todd and his perfect girl, Breigh, as they packed up their northern lives and ventured south to Ontario job prospects. We definitely miss them, but are happy to be counting down the days to their very special beach wedding.
November 29, 2011 - 12:57 PM - These pictures are stunning!
April 17, 2012 - 1:32 AM [...] I had an incredible time at Breigh & Todd’s destination wedding in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We were reacquainted with old friends, made new ones, photographed a gorgeous, “top-drawer” couple who had us laughing, crying, dancing, and celebrating right alongside with them. Check out Todd & Breigh’s Engagement Session! [...]
