Throwback post to August of 2019 the last time we were at our family cabin. Missing this place. This last week at Priest Lake I spent part of the day photographing our family, Ashley, Will, Cole and Mason rather than my own kids. That’s hard when your own kids are still around and demanding yourContinue reading “Lake Life: Family Documentary Photography”

This is (Almost) 40
Have you ever worked on a project, photography or otherwise, that requires so much work and yet once it ends you realize just how important it was to you? That’s a Project 52 for me. For six years I documented my family’s life and wrote about what was happening in a blog post every singleContinue reading “This is (Almost) 40”
Throwback Post: Fort Edmonton Park’s 50th Anniversary
Fort Edmonton Park is holding an event at Wolfe Cadillac in support of their campaign to Light the Midway. Our family has a strong connection with Fort Edmonton. You can read all about it below in my throwback blog from May 2019. Last weekend, the Wolfe Pack was lucky enough to spend some time atContinue reading “Throwback Post: Fort Edmonton Park’s 50th Anniversary”
Personal Projects: Finding Meaning
“Perspective is a function of experience. Kids can feel like their worlds are ending because their worlds are smaller than ours…So, what we can do, is let them feel. Give them permission to feel. And more importantly, be super brave, and let them see us feel. Let them watch us navigate our feelings in awkward,Continue reading “Personal Projects: Finding Meaning”
I’m Ready, What’s Next – 2020
Well, this is it friends. This is the final week of my sixth consecutive project 52. Can you believe it? That’s three hundred twelve weeks worth of blog posts. Whew! It’s exhausting just thinking about it. And seeing as we are about to head in to a new decade this feels like the perfect timeContinue reading “I’m Ready, What’s Next – 2020”
Together – Heart Warrior
Together is a photography project in collaboration with my 6 year old heart warrior, Kane. Throughout Kane’s life I have photographed his medical journey and written from my perspective, but as he has gotten older I have felt it is not just my story to tell. Together is a diptych project involving both my perspective and Kane’s perspective. OneContinue reading “Together – Heart Warrior”
Heart Surgery
Last week was hard. Even with all of the love and support we had surrounding us. It was hard. When Kane was first born and we learned he had congenital scoliosis and congenital heart defects, I believed surgery meant solving a problem. Six years later, I don’t see it that way anymore. First I wantContinue reading “Heart Surgery”
CHD Dad
This is my rock. He has been there for me every time I have needed him. He deals in my particular brand of crazy unbelievably well. Friday is Harrison’s birthday. And as you have probably gathered from social media, we are still in hospital with Kane. On Thursday, Kane had a pacemaker inserted. This isContinue reading “CHD Dad”
Tell Your Story
Just one of the amazing things about moving to Canmore is that it is providing me with an opportunity to focus more intensely on my photography business. I love using photography to share our family’s story. Making photos of my family and sharing them on my blog is how I have built my photography skillsContinue reading “Tell Your Story”
Ode to the Stollery
One of the hardest things about leaving Edmonton is moving away from the Stollery Children’s Hospital. The Stollery Children’s Hospital and the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation have had an enormous impact on our family. We have used their services for both of our kids. Everything from fetal echocardiograms to open heart surgery to 3D echocardiogramsContinue reading “Ode to the Stollery”
