Heavy question for you, and I hate to be a downer

Heavy question for you, and I hate to be a downer on a beautiful day like today, but who is TRULY there for you?

Let's say something happened to you tonight and you were in the hospital and there’s only a few people allowed in to come say goodbye (thanks to Covid), who would they be? I don't know about you but I've personally had some wake up calls due to some tragedies in the family over the last several months, and it's been eye opening to say the least. It sucks that tragedies often are the times in life when we actually realize what we have, and the solid people who are there for us. Quite frankly, the pandemic has been one big tragedy that has shown us who those people are as well.

Hug those people extra hard today that would be there for you, because life can change in the blink of an eye and you don't want to regret never showing that person how much you loved them. TAKE ALLLL THE PHOTOS! Life is VERY short, let's not take it for granted.

2021 brides, I GOTCHU!

It’s always a goal of mine to make the planning process as easy as possible. Why? Well, why the heck wouldn’t I?OBVI. But also, when we got married it was incredibly stressful and exhausting to plan so I can only imagine adding a pandemic into the mix. Major props to all you brides and grooms pushing through to make your day happen ❤️

In light of the recent announcement from the premier, I’m feeling more hopeful about the wedding season to come. How about you? Let’s hope it all comes to fruition and life can get back to normal! 🤞

Loved this mural by @alixandrajade she’s super talented!

Easter, usually surrounded by our loved ones but this year is looking different, again. Keep your chin up friends, let's continue to be grateful for what we have, the people that surround us (even if it's not in person) and the food on our plates.

I'm grateful for all of you all, as always. 🤩

It’s tough making art.

Always hungry, always searching for that next fix that lights your soul and makes you love your art again. Sometimes you find yourself trying to be like everyone else. You get in your own head. They say “imitation is suicide”, and I couldn’t agree more.

The reason you were put on this earth is to create art, and it doesn’t matter what kind of art that is. It could be photography, creating music, baking, painting, welding, web design, there is always a creative aspect in every career and I challenge you to harness your creative energy, dig deep and find what makes you unique and different from everyone else. That’s why art IS art. There’s no one piece that is like the other.

I watched the movie “We are your friends” recently and it sparked a fire under my butt to think about my photography and the direction I want to go. I loved the part of the movie when he said: “Any successful artist has this moment, where they stop being an admirer and they find their signature.” I was grateful someone else could put into words what I’ve been thinking for so long.

So, I hope you enjoy some of my new art that makes me happy! Happy Easter everyone. Keep it real out there.

Special thanks to everyone involved in this shoot: @amy.katelyn.cook with @buttercup.yeg (and her amazing hubby @travis.bc) were both my florist and model! We had such a blast. MASSIVE thanks to @bethanyearlmakeup with @hpmakeupartistry - you absolutely killed the style I was searching for! Thank you @boxeryeg for having us! It was so fun documenting your BEAUTIFUL rooftop space. Hit them up for wedding guys (and hire me 🤩😛)

They say a 20 second hug per day reduces stress and improves your mood. Bonus points if you steal a smooch. Squish your loved ones today everybody! 💖

Thinking of all the trouble I'm getting into this weekend 😈 And by trouble I mean binging more reality tv, eating fugcicles and crushing socially distanced dance parties. Here's hoping good news is on the horizon and we can make up for lost time soon.

That moment when everything stops for a second. It's just you, your best friend, and the most incredible adventure to come. Bonus points for the cool breeze off the lake adding a couple extra goosebumps. This is why I love my dang job. 🌟

Just trying to keep my life together on a Wednesday after a year of surviving a year of this pandemic. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all. Please send help (wine). 🤣

Thanks to my pal @carissamariephotography_ for sniping this bad boy. 👊
