Family Photography in the Places That Mean the Most to YOU
Every family has a place that feels like theirs — a spot that holds a thousand tiny memories. Maybe it’s where you go on Sunday walks. Maybe it’s the park where your kids learned to ride bikes, or that quiet trail where the light always seems just right. That’s what I love most about lifestyle family photography — we get to bring those places into the story.
Recently, I had the joy of photographing a beautiful family at one of their favourite spots: Big Hill Springs. If you haven’t been, it’s tucked just outside of the city of Calgary — full of winding trails, cool little creeks, and that perfect mix of forest and open space. Their kids immediately ran to the water’s edge, climbed logs, and tossed pebbles. We laughed, explored, and let the session unfold naturally. The best part? It wasn’t just about the photos — it was about being together in a place they love.
That’s the magic of photographing families in locations that already mean something to you. The kids feel at ease. You feel at ease. And the photos? They reflect who you really are — not just smiling for the camera, but actually enjoying each other in a setting that’s part of your family’s rhythm.
So now I want you to imagine your place.
Where do you go when you want to slow down? Where do your kids run free and wild? Is it that quiet bench in the river valley? Your backyard hammock? That trail behind your house that only your family seems to know about?
When you book a family photography session with me, this is where we’ll go. We’ll make the space part of the story — not just a backdrop, but a character in your family’s memory. We’ll let your kids lead, follow the light, and capture the connection that happens naturally when you’re exactly where you want to be.
If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos, consider choosing a location that already holds a little piece of your heart. Whether it’s a mountain trail, a local park, or the sidewalk outside your front door, I’ll be there to photograph the love, laughter, and little moments that make your family yours.
Let’s plan your session — and let’s go to your favourite place.
