Hello :)
We are headed to the beautiful Mayan Riviera for another gorgeous beach wedding! We will reply to all calls and emails on Jan 23rd!
If you’re wondering our ‘sweetheart of a deal’ Valentine’s Boudoir Day is completely FULL!! There is still a few appointment times left to get in for a regular session before Valentine’s Day. I will be taking all those bookings on a first come first serve basis on Jan 23rd.
Have a great week everyone!!!
This past October I took my first trip to the east coast and fell in love. I was only in Nova Scotia for a few short days, but boy did she steal my heart. Not sure I would survive living there with all the windy roads but I can see many, many visits in my future.
These shots are from the famous Peggy’s Cove, just a short drive from Halifax. What is funny is that I wasn’t 100% sure that my GPS was giving me the best directions until I found myself behind three tour buses, so I just followed them and they got me there!
There’s so much more to this trip than what’s here, but I had to share at least a bit of it! I had a blast flying solo on this completely selfish thrown together get away. I can’t wait to go back!! If you know anyone in the Halifax area getting married this year or next, tell them to give me a shout!! I would LOVE to shoot a wedding or two on the east coast!!

Hey, just read your blog on the visit to NS. I loved all your pictures they made me want to go there! If you loved the water the next time you come you’ll have to go over to the South Shore. I absolutly love going to Lunenburg, Mahone’s Bay, and Bridgewater over there. You will love all the old buildings and colours… Maybe next time it will be a little sunnier for you. :-)
Brides, flowers, cakes and dresses!! Grooms, tuxes, shoes, rings, make-up and kisses!! Here’s a look back at some of my favourite wedding shots of 2011 including even a few Trash the Dress shots!!

Happy New Year everyone!!
I know it’s a little cliche to do a ‘looking back’ blog post in the new year, but guess what?? I am all over that! So here’s the first of a few: behind the scenes.
From time to time when Brett & I are shooting a wedding, we have a chance to snap a few pics of ourselves hard at work. Or hard at fun. However you look at it we’re doing what we love and now we want to share it! Be warned, a lot of these shots are quick ones, as in no time to focus or expose properly; and for your enjoyment, they’re not all that flattering either! lol.
This first one is of Brett from our first wedding of the summer season in 2011. Brett is doing a fabulous job of fluffing that dress for a great detail shot.
I have such a handsome hubby that I can’t help but point my camera at him! So most of our ‘behind the scenes’ are of him and, well, he knows I’m not particularly fond of having my photo taken so he tries to stay out of trouble by not pointing his camera at me. ;)
These two shots are from a wedding at Elk Ridge resort. He’s a great mosquito swatter!
Hope you enjoyed our behind the scenes from 2011. In case you didn’t figure it out, we’re dorks and we love what we do and we have fun doing it! I can’t wait to see what 2012 brings!!

Love the photos, looks like a fun year!
On Sunday January 22nd the Joi Photo ‘dream team’ and I will be hosting an all-day boudoir marathon just in time for Valentines Day! This is a one-day only opportunity and a great chance to have a ‘taste’ of boudoir.
Each lovely lady will be pampered with professional hair and make-up by Rachel Stange and Lisa of Make Up In Motion. These girls make the experience extraordinary and help you work out the pre-shoot jitters! After you’re all dolled up, it’s time to strut your stuff for the camera! Don’t worry though — you don’t have to be a ‘model’ — I’ll coach you through the entire experience and make you feel like a movie star!!
What else?? We are introducing a BRAND NEW production set for this special — so not only will your session be a hella-good-time, you also get to have some super unique photos to see how hot you are!
If you’ve never experienced boudoir before and you’re a little nervous, that is perfectly ok! Do it anyway!! I’ve been told by virtually ALL my boudoir babes that 1. There really is nothing to be scared of because it’s SO much fun and 2. It turns out to be just as much a gift for themselves as it is for their man.

An experience I will never forget! I walked into Crystal’s studio a little unsure, a little nervous and super curious about what the final product was going to be. I asked Lisa to go light on the makeup (the thought of a ‘smokey’ eye was a little out of my element) and my first shot was in my pajamas. By the end of the shoot I had more confidence then I thought possible, I wish I went for the ‘real’ smokey eye and I walked out of that studio feeling like I could conquor the world. I felt like a freaking sex pot! haha. Crystal is amazing, she makes you feel incredibly comfortable and makes you feel like you were made to be there. PLUS she made my short legs look like they’re a mile long!! The final product: I look at those pics on a semi-regular basis. Just do it, you will not regret it!
I was so so nervous about my boudoir session, thinking it would be awkward and how would I feel about being so, ahem, exposed. I also really hated having my picture taken and had serious doubts about how they would turn out. There was no need to worry at all! Crystal makes you feel like a professional model. Tons of positive feedback and encouragement are guaranteed. When I’m having a bad day, one of those ones where you want to put on a muumuu and place a paper bag on top of your head, I pull out my boudoir pictures and feel instantly awesome! It was one of the best experiences I’ve had and I would strongly encourage any woman to get some taken- whether you have someone to give them to or not! I no longer look at magazines and celebrities and think- how do they look like that, because I know how- an awesome photographer, hairstylist, and make-up artist! It’s all about feeling good about yourself and with Crystal (a true artist, or even magician!), you are guaranteed to feel that way!
Crystal is a dream to work with and will make anyone feel flawless and great infront of the camera….she rocks it out and its one of the funnest photo shoots I have done:) Lisa is fabulous at make-up and knows exactly what she is doing to make you look absolutley amazing on set! This sounds like a wonderful package ladies hair,make-up and photos! The guys in saskatoon aren’t gonna know what hit em this Valentines Day!
P.S. If you are worried about having enough accessories etc. Crystal has a TON at her studio to help you out too;)
