A little life + business update 🤍

On October 7, I’m heading in for reconstructive surgery on my right foot, which means I’ll officially be taking medical leave from October 6–December 15.

During that time, I won’t be taking any shoots, weddings or in-person events, and since it’s my right foot, I won’t be driving for a while either. 😅

I will still be working behind the scenes as I’m able, editing galleries + wedding films, answering emails and getting ready for an incredible 2027 season. Response times may just be a little slower while I heal!

And to all my people… please check on me. 😂 Taking this much time off and being forced to sit still is going to be a whole new experience.

✨ 2027 BOOKINGS ARE OPEN!
If you’re thinking about a 2027 wedding, photoshoot or event, now is the perfect time to reach out and secure your date. Vendors book up quickly, so don’t wait!

Temporarily off my feet, but the inbox is still open. 🤍

There is something extra special about getting to photograph a chapter this big. 🥹🤎

From the tiny ultrasound photos held up to the sun, to mom & dad soaking in the reality that their whole world is about to change… and of course, making sure the four-legged big brother, Buddy, got his moment too. 🐾

Treasure & Braeden are officially adding one more to their crew, and Baby Collins will be making their arrival March 2027. 🍼✨

Getting invited into moments like these will forever be one of my favourite parts of what I do. Photos aren’t just about what life looks like right now, they’re about being able to come back years from now and remember exactly how it felt before everything changed.

Congratulations you two. Your greatest adventure is just getting started. 🤍

And yes… Buddy absolutely understood the assignment… and I had to edit his many bits out of photos because he tried to steal the show… . 😂🐾

Have you had the chance to meet the staff at Gardenview Estate | YEG Wedding Venue ? Well if you haven’t, you are missing out!

Here’s just a few of the gems that you’ll find out there on your wedding day!

There are a million things happening on a wedding day… but I’ll always make time for moments like this. 🥹📸

This little one wanted to take photos, so down on the floor we went, learning the camera, finding the shot, and capturing a few memories of their own.

Because photography has given me so much more than photos. It’s taught me to notice the little things, find beauty in ordinary moments, and understand just how important it is to document the people we love.

So if the next generation shows even the tiniest spark of wanting to create, I’ll always encourage it.

I’ll always hand them the camera.
I’ll always show them how.
I’ll always remind them that their perspective matters.

Teach the next generation to capture the memories, because one day, those photographs might mean everything. 🤍📸

And who knows… maybe I just met a future wedding photographer. 🥹

Thank you River Shark Media for capturing this behind the scenes!

Hilary + Austin: proof your wedding photos don’t have to be serious to be beautiful. 🤍

This day was equal parts sentimental, chaotic, hilarious and completely them.

Cowboy boots. A red dress uniform. Old Milwaukee. Running through fields. Belly laughs. Questionable decisions after dark. And approximately one million moments that couldn’t have been posed if we tried.

These are the moments I want to photograph.

Not just the perfectly posed, everyone-look-at-the-camera moments.

Give me the messy veil.
Give me the running through the grass.
Give me the blurry laughter.
Give me the weird s**t you do when you forget there’s a camera pointed at you.

Because 20 years from now, I don’t just want you to remember what your wedding looked like.

I want you to remember how fun it felt.

And apparently, I also want photographic evidence of the groom fighting for his life against a bug during golden hour. 😂

Swipe to the end. You’re welcome.

Hilary + Austin, never change. 🤍
