T H A N K F U L

I’m personally not very good with words, maybe that is why I am a photographer and not a poet or author. I have so much I am thankful for this year. So much, however putting it into words can be hard sometimes. I find I’m not the best blogger around (forgive me lol)

I just wanted to say how over joyed I am with how much that has happened just in the last 6 months. It has been an incredible journey so far this year and I couldn’t have done it without the people in my life, my family and friends to all the inspiring and supportive people I have met just in the last 6 months! I am so so Thankful for the new friendships I have made this year and over the past couple years.

Incredible Journey!

From taking a leap and jumping out of my comfort zone to invest in myself and in my business, I met some amazing, talented and very inspiring creatives out at Cabin Fever Retreat, new friendships made and honestly a personal journey for my soul that I couldn’t be more thankful for in my career!
I am so thankful for my man, the guy who puts up with my romantic heart, late nights of editing and entertaining our children while I head out to sessions. I am thankful for the time that I have had this year to travel (not far) but enough so I could connect with other photographers and create beautiful images for my clients.

Thank you to all my clients who support my small business and entrust me to preserve their memories through photography. Thank you to all the local vendors, boss babes & creatives who have reached out to me for collaborations, hired me to help create images for their brand or just to chit chat over coffee. Thank you to the photographers who have reached out to me because I have in some way inspired them, to hear that means the world! Thank you to all who have complimented on my work (sometimes I have a hard time taking compliments but I want to let you all know it means so so so so much to me)

I’m thankful for being able to choose my work schedule, take time off when needed to spend with my children, hubby and friends. I may give up a lot of my weekends and evenings to spend with others to preserve memories for them, I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way because I get to do what I love and provide for my family.

I am thankful for the photographers who choose community over competition, who put themselves out there to help educate, teach, support and inspire others! New friendships were formed at Cabin Fever Retreat, Demo Workshop & at The Well that I am so grateful for. I connected with so many amazing local vendors and talented photographers here in Saskatoon, Regina, all over Saskatchewan, our beautiful country and in the USA. Thank you to the photographers who hired me as their second this year and to those who 2nd for me! It was a wonderful experience to work along side some incredible ladies to document peoples love stories this year.

I also wanted to say I am so very thankful for all the women who have come into my life. It has been an amazing, positive and uplifting experience this year and I just love each and everyone boss babe that has come into my life, either as a client, a vendor or friend - it has been something that I truly needed within myself and for my career path (I’m tearing up typing this) THANK YOU!!!!

I wanted to share some images from the last 6 months, honestly I could probably show LOTS more, but I wanted to share some of the moments that truly mean the world to me when it comes to all the new connections and experiences I have had.
