Hope photography
I am passionate about capturing beautiful still moments in time and aspire to specialize in lifestyle and wedding photography.
I hope to create lasting relationships with those who aren't afraid to live out loud and hope to see you in my view finder soon!
These warm fall afternoons feel like a distant memory right now, but the Becker family could not have picked a more beautiful day!
How stunning are they?
I am currently obsessing over this session ...
This family holds a very special place in my heart! God is doing amazing things in their lives and I cannot wait to share their journey with you all one day!
I absolutely ADORE this beautiful family and was beyond excited when Audra suggested her yard as our session location! The weather could have not been more perfect!
Here is a peak of the Knutson family ...
I can't say enough about the return of summer ...
Kingsley and I took advantage of the beautiful evening last night and someone made a few "friends" along the way ...
Friends, if you are hoping to capture a few portraits during these beautiful evenings, I may be able to fit you in for a thirty minute mini session at sunset! Let's chat!

Friends, I feel blessed to announce the fact that my photography schedule is fully booked for the month of September. π I want to thank you all for your inquiries and cannot even begin to express how much your support means to me!
As I prepare to return to work within the next two weeks, I am reevaluating my schedule and am realizing I just can't do it all.
Please stay tuned for an upcoming announcement ... Mini sessions are currently in the works!! π
Give us a canola field at sunset and we'll work a little magic ...
As the school year quickly draws to a close, I am reminded of the incredible students that come in and out of our lives.
I am still obsessed with these graduation portraits ...
This particular graduate holds a special place in my heart. I knew from the moment I first laid eyes on her in grade nine that she was destined to do great things ...
Gretta, your talent ceases to amaze me and your smile lights up the room! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I wish you all the best as you pursue your passions!
How STUNNING is she folks?
{more portraits to come ...}
I love a good branding session and these beauties definitely know how to make my "job" easy!
I want to thank The Meadows - An Arbutus Community for hosting us once again! It's always a pleasure working with you!
I had the privilege of shooting Tanner and Keri's wedding last Saturday. Together, they braved the cold winds and rain and we were able to capture a little bit of magic ...
I want to thank Wilson's Lifestyle Centre for allowing us to seek shelter during their VERY BUSY day. They went out of their way to accommodate us and I can't even begin to express our appreciation.
I am having a hard time choosing a favourite ...
I always love the idea of an intimate "first look." Thomas held back tears as he saw Miranda for the first time, but he could not wipe that genuine smile from his face.
Here are a few more peaks from the incredible wedding I shared earlier ...
I know it's late, but I could not hold off any longer ... Last weekend, I had the honour of capturing Thomas and Miranda's wedding portraits. It was an incredible day and I am excited to share the first set of sneak peaks.
I loved capturing the anticipation of the day ahead. Miranda, thank you for choosing me to be a part of it all. It was a day I will never forget!
There is more to come friends! Stay tuned ...
Good afternoon friends!
Spring is on the way and I am looking forward to warmer termperatures and celebrating huge milestones such as GRADUATION! π
Senior sessions are becoming very popular these days, so I decided to create a package that includes both Senior and Graduation portraits. {Sessions will be taken on two separate dates.}
Bookings are open and availability is filling up rather quickly! Feel free to inquire through Messenger or text message!
π Please note, I am no longer available from June 17 to the 21st.
I absolutely adore this family! We quickly became the best of friends after we moved in two houses down from them almost three years ago. Since, we enjoy torturing ourselves by tenting with toddlers every summer and created an annual "Matching Pajama Christmas Extravaganza!" The memories we have created thus far are priceless.
This stunning mama is celebrating her "28th" birthday today, so I just HAD to present her with a sneak peak from Wednesday's session ...
We cannot wait to meet the newest member of this family!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with these beautiful women! The team at The Meadows has been nothing short of amazing and it was an honour to get to know them better! β€
I really enjoyed reuniting with this wonderful family! They were an absolute BLAST to work with and we essentially laughed our way through the session!
Here is a sneak peek of their portraits ...
Friends, first and foremost, THANK YOU for being here. I cannot even begin to tell you how much it means to me. It has been another year full of blessings and I am honoured to have been chosen to capture your precious memories!
I hope and pray each and every one of you experience a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

Good evening friends!
You all know how to bring a woman to her knees ... π You likely did not realize this, but I experienced laparoscopic surgery this afternoon and felt quite down all week.
This afternoon, I woke up overwhelmed by three separate inquires and am happy to announce, DECEMBER is FULLY BOOKED! πΈπ THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for supporting my passion!
When I am feeling up to it, I will announce the upcoming 'Winter Wonderland' Mini Session dates!
Thank you again! π
I have been DYING to shoot in this hoarfrost and took full advantage of God's art work this morning!
Working full time while managing two very separate "side hustles" does not allow a lot of time for spontaneity! I was growing anxious about getting this mini session in and I am so thankful that the "sparkly blanket" stuck around!
This beautiful little miracle will be celebrating her fourth birthday this month! Where did the time go?
Good evening friends!
I am excited to announce I will be offering gift certificates just in time for Christmas!! ππΈThey are currently on their way and I cannot wait to show you! Feel free to let me know if you'd like to snag one!
Because there is no better gift than lasting memories ... β€

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful couple. I wish that I could elaborate on their INCREDIBLE story. God is working through them in more ways than one and I am beyond excited to watch their journey unfold.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend friends!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love and support throughout the year. It has been an honour getting to know each and every one of my clients on a more personal level. My dream to create lasting memories through the beauty of portraits is finally coming true!
May God bless you with an incredible weekend! πβ€
{Portraits taken by Hope photography.}
This beautiful little girl was prayed for, desired, and is loved beyond measure. She made me a mother and I cannot thank God enough for the miracle He blessed us with.
This evening was filled with laughter, silly songs, adventuring, and most of all, love. I ADORE spending time with my one and only ...
I will be honest, I walked into this session not knowing what to expect. Jimmie Lou is a close friend of mine and when she mentioned the fact that her "boys" were not exactly enthused about our portrait session, I figured I had my work cut out for me! These handsome men were troopers though!
Jimmie Lou, here is a little sneak peek of your beautiful family!
I absolutely adore this beautiful family! Nicole and I met eighteen months ago and immediately hit it off. We braved the weather on Monday and the rain surprisingly held off while we snapped this beautiful fall session.
How gorgeous is this family? These beautiful children stole my heart!
I am currently booking fall sessions, but my schedule is filling up quickly. Please feel free to inquire if you're interested in booking a date!

I experienced a fabulous evening out with a few fellow "boss-babes" last week and took advantage of the warm summer evening while at City Girl Flowers. If you love flowers, this is a "must see" before summer ends!
How BEAUTIFUL is Ashlee?
I love working with this beautiful soul! If you have not met Sabrina, you are truly missing out. She is a fearless woman of God with a heart of gold. Her love for children is evident in her business and I admire her strength and resilience. I am still beyond grateful to have the pleasure of calling her my "sister."
On Wednesday night, we went out and celebrated Sabrina's birthday. We soon realized it was thee perfect opportunity to snap a few portraits.
Here is her sneak peek ...
