Megan and Wyatt took advantage of visiting family over the holidays to do their engagement photos in the Crowsnest Pass. While we would have liked a little more snow, we were grateful for how beautiful the day was!

When I first visited the renovated Post building at an open house, I was dreaming of all the perfect spots I could take wedding photos inside. I was so excited when Chrissy and Brandon decided to have their wedding there and we had full access to everything!

I always love contributing to the photos in the Lethbridge Family Services Annual Report! I get to meet so many amazing people and it's so fun seeing what Paramount Printers comes up with for the design.
