Limelight Photography Calgary, AB BLOG bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

- I love clocks. I know it’s weird, but I like to have at least one in every room.
- A good song gives me goosebumps.
-I married a musician who is also hilarious. Perfect combination for me. He is messy though.
- I love the ocean and at the same time find it scary.
- I’ve gotten into Guitar Hero with my 10 year old. I can rock “Beat it” (on easy), but suck at “Crazy Train”.
- My favorite color is blue. It makes me happy.
- I sang (well lip sync’d because sadly I’m tone deaf) “Any Man of Mine” - Shania Twain, to my husband Cory at our wedding reception
- I have a Mars bar every afternoon.
- I am OCD a little bit. My husband calls it “Opposite of Cory disease”.
- My favorite children’s book is “My Many Colored Days” by Dr. Suess.
- People say I’m a bad driver, but I think I’m awesome.
- I used to be a travel agent and have been many places, but I really want to go to Italy.
- Huge Keith Urban fan.
- I am a city girl. I get lost in the country and I don’t like that.
- My favorite night out is either a concert or a movie.
- I’ve been a Calgary Wedding photographer for 7 years and don’t want to stop anytime soon.
- I’m in the sweet spot. I’m living the dream of loving what you do. Photography is by far my passion and I love everything about shooting weddings, families and babies. I have 2 amazing, beautiful, precious boys and my husband makes me laugh every day and I love him.

Roxanne, Jeremy & the Pugs | Calgary Family Photographer

Tuesday, September 7, 2010 Posted in LL Blog Posts, LL Family Posts

Roxanne & Jeremy are some of the awesome neighbors on our block. I did a little mini shoot for them last year in their home, but this year we headed out to the spectacular Moraine lake. Roxanne has been my rockstar assistant this year (she’s been amazing). We did a wedding here in July and we both fell in love with this place. So we had to come back out for Roxanne & Jeremy’s anniversary to take some new pictures of them. Their kids – Pepper and Vinny loved it and did the hike up surprisingly well! Thanks Roxanne for all your help this season!

Katie & Brad | Calgary Wedding Photographer

Katie & Brad had the most beautiful, lovely outdoor wedding. When I met Katie I just loved her. She is so honest and sweet. I wanted her day to be perfect and it was just that. Well when I arrived in the morning to do some pre-ceremony pictures it was pouring. The clouds were ominous and I was a little concerned. Katie didn’t let it get her down though and was sure it would clear up. We arrived a few hours later for the ceremony and it did just that. The clouds parted and all was right. The ceremony officiated by Jerry Stilson was touching and personal. After pictures at Bowness park the day was capped off by a casual, elegant and intimate reception in Brad’s parent’s backyard. It couldn’t have been better!

Alyssa & Paul | Calgary Wedding Photographer

Monday, August 30, 2010 Posted in LL Blog Posts, LL Wedding Posts

Being a wedding photographer comes with some pressure. I felt the pressure on Alyssa and Paul’s day. Not in a bad way, but in a way that I wanted to do just an amazing job. Ok, this doesn’t sound right – I always want to do an amazing job, but Alyssa’s Dad married Cory and I fourteen years ago and I wanted to impress. I have a lot of respect for this family and I think the world of them. It wasn’t too hard to photography Alyssa – she’s just stunning and she was completely glowing on her wedding day. Couple that with a fun, easy-going bridal party, handsome groom and it was a good day!

Calgary Globalfest | Calgary Wedding/Family Photographer

Thursday, August 26, 2010 Posted in LL Blog Posts

Fireworks just make me happy! Like the sun on my face, staring at the ocean or the sound of my boys laughing. It’s just something about the sky lighting up in colors, sparks and spectacular compositions. Then when it’s set to music and that’s just a whole new level – amazing. For the past 5 years we’ve been going to Calgary’s fireworks festival – Globalfest. It’s hands down the best fireworks you’ll see all year and it never fails to impress. We’ve been dragging our neighbors Sean & Lynn with us the past few years and I think they like it as much as we do. There’s a picture of our little group at the bottom of this post.

Baby Chloe | Calgary Family & Wedding Photographer

Monday, August 23, 2010 Posted in LL Babies/Prenatal Posts, LL Blog Posts

Miracle baby Chloe with the big blue eyes! During our shoot Chloe’s Mom and Dad shared with me how Chloe was born early and weighed just a pound and a half. After interacting with her and seeing how vibrant and amazing she is it’s hard to believe that she had such a traumatic birth. This little girl is so full of life and spirit – what a pleasure for me to capture that!
