So I’m currently cutting out caffeine - ask me how that’s going 🤪🤯☕️ If anyone has tips on this, hit me up below! (Is a year long eye twitch normal?!) lollllll.

ALSO, I’m a day late to chime in on #internationalwomensday, but just here to say I sure am damn proud to be a woman - a woman who not only lives off income from doing an art she loves, but thrives! Women are dominating the photography industry and I sure am damn proud to be one of them. 👊

Shout out to all you ladies out there making this world turn round, whether it’s being the CEO of your own home or the CEO of a company.. I am PROUD of us! 🥂💃

Thanks to my adorable pal @meg.rae.photography for snapping this pic of me at our last hang. 🤍

Todays a big day - little Hal turns 4! Seriously, where did the time go. 🥲

You made me a mom and I’m almost certain you’ve taught me more than I’ve taught you. You brighten the room wherever you go and we’re so so proud of the little person you are becoming. You are strong, brave and hard working 💪 @ceemers9

Today I hope you feel our love, and enjoy yourself at the waterpark! I am so excited to see you swim your little fish heart out. 🐠 Love you, our hurricane Hal

☀️ Good morning world! ☀️ 👋 Hi old fr

☀️ Good morning world! ☀️

👋 Hi old friends and new! If you’re new here, I’m Kristy and I’m so jazzed you’re following along. Here’s a photo from the fall of me and my littlest human Silvia at Pigeon Lake. I photograph mainly weddings but also dabble in different kinds of lifestyle photography! 2022 was a big year for me, I decided to add to my team and take on an associate shooter @meg.rae.photography who photographs weddings on my behalf when I’m unable to! We’re going to have an incredible and busy 2023 ✨

This last year has been one of growth and learning. While giving everything I have to my two little mini me’s, I’ve been also hustling to keep up with this little biz of mine. I am incredibly grateful to have such an amazing career that gives me the flexibility to be with my girls more than the average working mother does. 🙌 While it feels like it’s a lot to juggle some days, I do know I’d never trade it for anything in the world. 🤍 I know I have one of the best jobs in the world, I love being surrounded by love and positivity and being able to connect with so many awesome people.

What a lot of you may not see on my stories and posts is that I’ve been doing a bit of soul searching this last year to figure out what brings me joy and also a healthy balance to my life. That often means less time on here and taking on a selective amount of shoots at certain times of the year, and also making sure I focus on my health (still working on improving my sleep 😴😂).

As my girls approach school years very quickly it’s been on my mind to get us situated where we feel we should hunker down for the long haul. I’m thinking this year might just be the year for a big change, but stay tuned on that!

If you’ve made it this far through my ramble, thank you - I truly appreciate you!

Now I’m off to run my kiddos to dance class, continue to edit my bum off, and soak up what’s left of this warm weather. I advise you do the same! Winter is commmingggg ❄️

So I may eat my words in a few weeks but this winter weather we’ve been having sure has been glorious! ❄️

Lindsey and Jake had a surprise wedding recently - this is just one of the many photos I love from their day. The reactions of their friends and family were absolutely priceless 🙌. Highly recommend! 👏

Happy hump day friends! I’m currently off to photograph a beautiful little angel baby and I’m very excited. 🤍

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from our crazy crew to you! ✨

We’ve had an incredible year and we’re excited to see what 2023 has in store for us! I’d like to thank all my clients, family and friends for all their love and support over all the years I’ve been in business. I don’t take it for granted one bit because you all allow me to do something that I love and support my family while doing so! Lucky is an understatement 🍀. So, cheers to you friends 🥂.

Sending so much love to those struggling this season, I know Christmas can also be a dark time for many. You’re not forgotten and you are loved. 🤍

Special thanks to my pal @rockwoodphotograph for snapping these for us at our cozy little cabin. 🫶

Sooo I just braved YEG south common, and what a mistake that was (funny enough I do it every year 😂). I went to grab one item which I could have easily grabbed any day, so really I just love to torture myself. 😬

I hope you all enjoy your Christmas break with your families and friends! My Christmas shopping is done, the cookies have been baked, the cards have been written, there’s a few more things on the to do list (including working on these gorgeous specimens @christian.starrhorse) but other than that it’s basically just waiting for the jolly old man to arrive! 🤶

I have 2 more weddings left to shoot, and both are taking place next week 👏 So stay tuned because they’re going to be gooders!

Much love and Merry Christmas to you all!! 🤍

It’s about time I shared some recent werk / yeeeeeshh. These two are just too 🔥 not to share.

I’m not sure if it’s Mel’s funky green hair or Jammie’s luscious curly locks, but these two are a total vibe ⚡️

Congrats to these babes. It makes me so happy to see you happy. 🤍

I literally cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. You blink and all the sudden it’s the first week of December 🤯

I need to start looking for a real Christmas tree asap! Are you team real or artificial?! 🎄

Here’s a stunning couple shot by my fabulous associate @meg.rae.photography 🙌 it’s so fun to see what she creates.

Throwback to this super fun shoot with @rbrittain94 and Cole!

I love when my couples make their shoots more personal and meaningful to them! It’s true that you feel more comfortable in front of the camera if you wear what you normally wear, and go places you normally go! 👏

Happy Friday everyone!! 🤍🙌

Hi friends 👋 it’s me. I’m alive over here, I swear!

I’ve been active on stories but not on my posts mostly because of the fall editing load and sick kiddos (I know, tis the seasonnnn).

I’m excited to send off this gallery to this beautiful couple today! This day was magical to say the least and I am forever grateful for the incredible days I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of this year.

Sending love, wine and coffee to all of you beauties out there. 🤍
