2018 Red Deer, Alberta grad Mandi is on the blog today!
Mandi had a combination session held indoors at the studio in Sylvan Lake, Alberta along with two casual outfits outdoors at Jarvis Bay. Her session was such a great combination. And again I love the pop of red in her shirt outdoors against the green grass!

Today we are going all the way back to 2016 and Rilea’s graduation session. I am not sure how I missed blogging this session earlier than now as it was one of my favourites!
Her session was held inside and outdoors at my studio, just outside of Red Deer. Between adding in a few casual outfits and her lacrosse equipment, the session was a perfect mix of everything. Oh, and the soft sunset summer light didn’t hurt either ;).

In the final part of this 4 part series I wanted to share with you the real life version of the studio. The behind the scenes. Unedited.
When I look back on the last year and half, there have been many, many lessons learned. What being overbooked feels like, how being super busy isn’t always the best thing (for me anyhow), how it’s okay to take a break for a while to do a little reflecting and how setting up a little structure isn’t always a bad thing.
But, most importantly sharing these moments with all of these people, whom I would have never had a chance to meet otherwise, has been the best part. As you can see, we have had our fair share of laughter and believe that taking ourselves seriously is way overrated ;).
The studio has hosted everything from headshots, to individual sessions, groups of girlfriends, grads, a family of over 40, hockey teams, a makeup seminar and our grad rep shoot.
Behind the scenes are the best, aren’t they?
