Photography in Edmonton can be challenging due to the weather at times, but when all the stars line up and you are treated to beautiful light you end up with gorgeous family photos!

I photographed these two lovely girls in St. Albert last year, but they decided to let their equally awesome parents in on the fun this fall. I’m so glad they did 🙂

Great to see you again and I can’t wait until next year 😉

I had the pleasure of shooting with FMPhotoStudios and enjoyed meeting Josh & Jacinta in July. I love to shoot details and there were so many opportunities at this beautiful Edmonton Wedding. As per usual, I started my day hanging out with the guys and making sure all went smoothly. They were pretty organized, so this made my job easier 😉

We then headed to the west end for a lovely and personal service with really incredible live music.

After the service we took some really fun urban photos…

And then some more natural photos to round out the day…

What a lovely day and even more lovely couple. Best wishes for the future you two!

I have so much fun second shooting for Marko D Photography and this wedding was no exception! One word for these two. Adorable! The other word would have to be Seahawks! Nicholas is a HUGE fan and he was willing to go along with my tomfoolery for some shots 🙂 Being a west coast girl, I had to approve of his NFL team 😉

Their wedding took place at St. Joseph’s in St. Albert and the wee flower girl and ring bearer *almost* stole the show. So incredibly sweet!

We then braved the heat for the formal shots and headed to the wedding reception which was beautiful.

Aren’t they a lovely couple?? Love and happiness Stephanie & Nicholas!

Suzanne & Geoffrey were married on a beautiful and HOT day in June!  Holy moly!  I had the pleasure of shooting with FMPhotoStudios and I began my day at the Groom’s Parents’ lovely home.  We, of course, bonded immediately due to our Scottish heritage 🙂  We then moved on to the gorgeous ceremony at St. Joseph’s Basilica in downtown Edmonton.

After the wedding we had fun taking bridal photos around the city and then ended up at the reception which was held at the Hotel MacDonald…stunning!!

Congratulations you two!

Yippee! It’s almost summer! But why does Costco have snowsuits and mitts out?!? Boo to that!

But let’s not think about winter!! To celebrate summer, I’m going to offer a few select dates for mini sessions in July for those of you who would just like a few shots to update your lovely portraits. Please note space is limited and exact locations are TBA.

The two dates are WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY JULY 8 & 9 starting at 7 PM. The cost is only $125 for a 20 minute session (max 4 people – $25/extra person) and this includes either 2 high resolution digital files or 4 professional 5×7 prints (not mounted). Additional prints and products may be purchased.

Please contact me at info@shonareid.com for more details.

Hope to see you then!

My baby. My littlest little is 8 and it seems like just yesterday he took his sweet old time to come into this world. But when he did, he was hungry and he hasn’t stopped saying, “I’m hungry” since! I’m truly afraid of what will happen when he’s 12!

He is kind and sensitive, stubborn as stink, but also super cuddly. He’s my wee man and I wish I could bottle what’s left of those cute chubby little cheeks as his face changes with those big front teeth… Sigh… This is 8.

How is she 11 already? How? 99.9% of the time, she’s a strong minded (insert stubborn) tomboy who won’t wear her hair down or take her hockey jersey and track pants off. I’m okay with that…especially when I see her look like this and I think, “Oh boy…we’re in trouble!”

She has taught me so much in her 11 years and continues to put me in my place when I need it. I’m truly thankful for that and love her to bits!!

Earlier this winter I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful Mama and her growing family.

I love to do Maternity Photography with newborn clients as it gives us a chance to get to know each other, discuss newborn photography options (first 10 days or more lifestyle a little later on) and to just relax before the real excitement begins!

Then this little beauty came along!  She was so good and such a beautiful baby girl and her big brother was so incredibly proud to be able to hold her.  So incredibly sweet!

Thank you for choosing me to photograph your gorgeous newborn and growing family!

This week has been heart wrenching to witness.  Here are a few images that I captured around town and during the procession for Cst. David Wynn.  Thousands of police, emergency personnel and military marched in his honour and participated in his full regimental funeral.  It was incredible to see and I know this post doesn’t do the magnitude of the event justice, so I’ve included a link to CTV Edmonton’s coverage HERE.

I am so proud to be a citizen of such a caring community that is truly “united in light”. May your family, friends, Aux Cst. Bond, the rest of your watch and the detachment find comfort in each other and be able to heal in time. RIP Cst. Wynn. God speed.
