Mary's 80th


Happy Birthday Marry!
This youthful lady celebrated her 80th birthday a few weeks ago. Hard to believe with that youthful smile of hers! I really enjoyed the company of her family and the wonderful things that they said about Mary's very successful career. Wishing her and her family all the best!

The Judd Family

 

 Traditional family photos took place in the studio just a few short weeks ago. It's been a while since I've done "traditional" family photos, and it was a lot of fun to get back at it. The Judd family was great to work with; I love both the formal and candid photos a like from the shoot. This family is going to going to be spread across the globe pretty soon as the two oldest kids are headed on church missions, and the youngest is off to university. I'm so happy that they chose me to take there "last" family photos for a while! Wishing them all the best in there many adventures!

Sunshine Mountain Lodge



 First of all, if you know me personally, you know that I LOVE Sunshine Village. I pretty much grew up there. With that said, it was an honor to spend sometime photographing for Sunshine. As the pictures tell, it wasn't a "typical" Abby + Snow photo shoot; in fact; we kept it indoors. 

Photographing the Sunshine Mountain Lodge interiors, coffee shop, restaurant, loft suits, game rooms, and Trappers was a success. The models were great, the lighting was beautiful, and heck I was at Sunshine, so I was one happy photographer. I look forward to these photos along with many others being published in Travel Alberta, and other publications, so keep your eye out! And don't forget to head on up to Sunshine this weekend for Slush Cup!

Houndmaid


Who knew dog apparel could be so stylish?!
Lauren from Dogdog Goose, did! She handcrafts custom collars, and boy they are study! Driggs, my almost 1 year old 80lb "pup" has put it to the test; swimming in ice filled lakes, hiking in the mountains, scratched when trying to reach that "oh so itchy" ear, puppy school training, and so much more. Looking to spice up your pups "pants?" be sure to check out the Dogdog Goose;; houndmaid goods collection on facebook, HERE, or on Etsy HERE

Cheers to the creative Lauren, and her inspiration Luci (Dalmatian).
All the best!

J&B: the wedding edition


I know/hope most of you have seen Jordyn & Ben's engagement photos & bride/groom formal photos, if not click HERE for engagements, or HERE for bride/groom formals. It's been so great to see this couple go from newly engaged to newly weds. Let me tell you a little bit about why there wedding day was such a wonderful experience!

The morning of the wedding was spent hoping back and forth from hotel rooms getting photos of the boys and the girls getting ready for the big day. I just couldn't get enough of the details and the wonderful candid moments that took place, check out all the photos HERE to see more "getting ready shots." After the couple was married everyone gathered for group photos in the courtyard. The bridesmaids were troopers for hiking in grass that their heels punch through, so big thanks to you girls! The following day was filled with bride & groom formals and a reception. I must admit the photobooth was a big hit with this crowd, so thanks to my wonderful assistant for helping me run the photobooth and also for her assistance with the formals, love yah Jeannette! All in all, great time had by all, hope you two enjoy your new life together, cheers!

All the photos are available for viewing and/or purchasing HERE:
