Game Plan

The work that goes behind creating a hip hop / pop music video involves so much planning months before hand, however Carlie “Baby C” Rompre makes it look effortless with her laid back personality. We were asked to photograph some shots in between video takes with additional candids throughout the entire day. As we arrived to the Taurus Field in Fort Saskatc[...]

If You’re Happy and You Know It

Upon arrival, we couldn’t help but notice all these beautiful outfits hanging on the railing for a fun day of dress-up. In fact, we are pretty sure this bright eyed beauty has more dresses than the two of us combined. Each ensemble was thoughtfully chosen to a complimenting headband, keeping those soft brown locks in perfect place. When we are behind the ca[...]

Young and the Restless

It was clear within seconds of meeting these little kiddos that they are showered in love by their incredible parents. As we received a tour of their lovely home, we noticed right away that each room of the house was painted a different colour, as if to express each individuals unique personality. The "green room” was filled with vitality and energy that wa[...]

Eyes Wide Open

These first time parents were so calm and easy going about everything as we met their sweet baby girl. With eyes wide open, she followed us around the room as we set up...and they didn’t stop observing us until we left. We were the same as babies ourselves, we always had to know what was going on. This curious little girl is the perfect addition to the fami[...]

Baby C

The best thing about our line of work is that no day is ever the same, we get to meet and discover the people who make Edmonton so special to us. This weekend was no different as we headed downtown to the Ice District to capture some behind the scenes photos and portraits of hip hop artist Baby C on her upcoming song, “Nothing Like Me." With a couple of [...]

Two Sides to Every Cake

The Duchess Bake Shop is a delicious bakery located in downtown Edmonton, and it wasn’t until recently we discovered they offer several baking classes throughout the year. You can learn from the bakers themselves on how to make anything they sell in their bakery, from macaroons, puffed pastries, cakes, and their seasonal favourites. We looked at all the clas[...]

Mermaids on Board

Our first full day in Croatia was just that… a full day! We started our morning at 6:00am to get an early dive in along the coast of Dubrovnik. Surrounded by cliff walls, we entered the rich blue Adriatic Sea by foot from the Diving Centre Blue Planet, established in the Hotel Dubrovnik Palace. We wish we could say this was one of our favourite dives, but i[...]

Danke Germany

The entire reason for our trip to Europe was based around an obstacle event… but let’s start at the beginning. We landed in Germany on a rainy afternoon and the combination of jet lag and weather put us both out like lights until the next morning. Refreshed and eager to explore, we decided to head downtown in our rollerblades where it wasn’t even five m[...]

Never Felt Board...Not Once

Letter boards, also known as felt boards are becoming more popular than ever as a customizable way to express ones self through quotes, milestones, or just about anything you want to say visually. These boards are beautiful and accent any home decor... however they can come with a heavy price tag as you can see on Letterfolk. A board similar to the one we ha[...]

Foam Glow

Fun runs have become the latest trend for competitive and casual runners alike. We’ve tried them all (or just about) and this week we participated in the Foam Glow 5km run out in Leduc, AB. Upon arrival we decked ourselves out with glow sticks and glow paint as the sun started setting behind us. Making our way towards the start line, the music was pumping a[...]

Fit For Royalty

European Royalty was the inspiration behind this family's ten year wedding anniversary as we headed over to the Government House for its strong historic architectural characteristics. The thought and detail that this family put into this shoot was inspiring. Months were spent executing the perfect hair style, creating floral head bands, and finding the perfe[...]

Hello World

Three years ago we welcomed their first child into the world… now fast forward to a summer afternoon as we introduce baby brother Easton to the family. Swaddled peacefully under the shade of a nearby swaying tree, we are able to capture a few smiles as the breeze would graze this sleepy baby’s face. Meanwhile older brother Owen was off in the distance runnin[...]

House of Sew

On a road trip back home with our closest girlfriends we started discussing about new skills we would like to accomplish in the year 2017.  So when our birthday came and passed, one of our gifts to each other was a box filled with fabrics, thread, zippers, and a card. The card was to a dress making course offered at the House of Sew with the very talented Be[...]

Special Delivery

This strong little girl gave first time parents quite the scare when she arrived a few months too early. After a tremendous amount of patience, love, and support, their bundle of joy was finally ready to come home and sleep in her own crib. Curious and bright eyed, it was clear… there's no place better than nestled tightly in her parent’s arms. We absolutely[...]

Pollock Chokolate

A highlight from our visit to Switzerland was learning how to make our own chocolate at the Funky Chocolate Club workshop. Tatiana (our Swiss chocolate connoisseur) showed us what we needed to make our very own chocolate  at home, along with some interesting ideas... our favourite being “Pollock” chocolate that we created for Easter. The Pollock inspired “pa[...]

Out of This World Cute

For starters… this has to be the most beautiful nursery we have ever seen. From the accent wood wall, neutral colour palette and baby animal frames, we were in awe to say the least. One of our favourite thing about photographing newborns is observing and capturing genuine moments as a new family. Watching how natural these adorable first time parents were w[...]

Sugar Thumb Fairy

A celebratory cake smash has become the rite of passage into toddlerhood, documenting that one day where you can get away with completely destroying a cake. This beautiful fairy themed cake was simply amazing, and the details did not go unnoticed. Fitted in a pink tutu and a floral headband we watched in anticipation... there are several ways this cake smash[...]

Foiling in Love

One day while cleaning out our cupboards we couldn’t help but notice the clutter created from bulk ingredients like flour, oatmeal, and chocolate chips. That is when we came across a simple solution of buying jars and making labels to create organization within the cupboard. However not just any labels would do, since we are always looking for new ways to us[...]

The Write Way

We are always interested in expanding our abilities in just about any aspect of design, so when we discovered a modern calligraphy class taught by a local Edmonton designer // hand letterer extraordinaire we knew we had to sign up right away. We found out about Justine Ma through Eventbrite, where she offers a couple of workshops in water brush lettering or [...]

Sweet As

This New Years we decided to trade in our toques and snowboards for some bikinis and rollerblades, and made our way just slightly over 12,000 km to New Zealand. Some may think that a 17 hour plane ride is a long time, but three movies and a good sleep later and we were on the other side of the world ready to balance the time spent in the air with some time i[...]

Screech-in

Tranquil is a word that comes to mind when we think back at our trip to Newfoundland. At times it feels like you’re the only person for miles, the only sounds are the crashing of the dark blue water against the jagged cliffs, and the howling wind that blows through the tall grass. While we have always heard stories about the beauty of Canada's east coast, it[...]

Heritage Days

Heritage days is one of our favourite festivals in Edmonton aside from the Fringe. This three day celebration takes place every August long weekend with over 66 pavilions of the yummiest foods from around the world. With so many delicious flavours and exotic dishes to chose from we seem to always go for the same thing every year… “Empanadas!" While they don’[...]

XOXO

Born with a full head of hair, the Waddell’s welcomed the loveable Emma into their home. We’ve had the pleasure of photographing the many stages of this couples life and were honoured when they asked us to capture their very first child's first few days of life. When we started the shoot we didn’t think this little one was ever going to fall asleep, but in t[...]

Dirty Thirty

A milestone is defined as an action or event marking a significant change or stage in development… so would turning thirty with your best friend in the beautiful South America be considered a double milestone? Before the girls head south for the summer we wanted to capture one of their milestones, the “Dirty Thirties,” and what better way to celebrate than [...]

O’Fishally Married

What sets a wedding invitation apart from the rest is the tone and formality of the event. Our fellow bride was having a destination wedding in the beautiful Skagway Alaska and had come to us with a vision of a nautical themed boarding pass design. We wanted to give the feel of the invites some age to them (the kinda boarding passes you’d imagine your grandp[...]

Switzerland - Every Mile A Memory

Nestled in the beautiful town of Interlaken, we were surrounded by mountains and lakes that made this one of our favourite spots in Switzerland. Our first few days was accompanied with nonstop rain, but we didn’t mind, instead we just watched the clouds roll in and out disguising the true heights of the mountains before us. On our first real day of exploring[...]

When It Rains, Looks For Rainbows

For several years now it has been our goal to celebrate our big day in a new country, and this year we decided on Iceland. We awoke to a cotton candy sky at 6:30 in the morning after a comfortable sleep on each others shoulders. With eyes barely open we looked at one another and wished ourselves a happy birthday. Why Iceland? For Christmas we received a glob[...]

Born Lucky

When we last saw this adorable couple two months ago they were awaiting the arrival of their first child. Fast forward to a few days past the due date, it wasn’t until St. Patrick’s day that they finally welcomed a healthy baby girl to their family… a lucky day indeed. So much love was in the air as we were greeted by not only proud parents, but proud grandp[...]

Another Eggs-cuse For Cupcakes

Easter morning was waking up with the sun, and jumping to the edge of our beds in excitment to see what the easter bunny left us… a half filled basket of goodies. The other half was hidden all over the house waiting to be found in groups of 3’s (two for us and 1 for our older brother). Our parents hid them pretty well that it generally took us well over an h[...]

Tickled Pink

You can control several aspects of photography, but the one you can’t is the weather. The day before this shoot was so cold outside that a two minute walk to our car resulted in wind blown tears… it was blistering cold out, and all we kept saying was “Please, please let tomorrow be nice.” Thankfully our wish was granted. The sun was shining, the snow was mel[...]

Whitenect Engineering Inc.

It seems our classroom days of listening to lectures about the Gestalt Principles have embedded themselves in the back of our brains and we continually find ourselves using these concepts in our everyday design. There are 5 principles to this theory, which are: Figure/Ground, Similarity, Continuation, Proximity, and Closure, and they allow your brain to visu[...]

Love You to the Honey(moon) and Back

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder so we thought we would warm you up with a sunny session with our newlyweds in the small town of Kailua, Oahu. Lanikai Beach (translation “Heavenly Sea”) is world renowned as one of the best beaches in not just Hawaii, but the world. Our first impression of the beach was simply breathtaking, the [...]

Enjoy the BEAR Necessities

Baking is another creative outlet we love to explore since it essentially applies the same concepts as design... creating something from an idea. This past weekend we were approached to bake some goodies for "Kids Helping Kids Art Fundraiser.” This fundraiser was started by Kelley (now a teenage girl) almost five years ago, after her brother was diagnosed wi[...]

Colour Me Orange

Choosing the right colours for your logo isn’t the easiest thing to decide on; which is why we fell in love when we stumbled upon the color.hailpixel.com website. It’s as simple as scrolling through the page with your curser and clicking on the colour you like. Every click saves your chosen colour to the left hand side of the screen with the colour code. You[...]

Aloha With Love

Joe and Dayla got engaged last fall in Oahu, Hawaii. While on vacation they stopped at the restaurant “Bills Sydney” in Waikiki renowned for their complimentary hotcakes (think Olive Garden breadsticks, but pancakes instead). At the end of the meal the checks are served with a postcard... this postcard would become the inspiration behind their invitations. T[...]

These Things Are Good Things

A few years ago in Hawaii of all places, our brother bought a “Cat in the Hat” print that he knew he would one day place above his daughters crib. It was this print that later spawned our Halloween costumes, Thing 1 and Thing 2. After all, if anyone should portray these “lovable” characters it should probably be twins. This was the first year we didn’t leave[...]

Forbes Bros Ltd

Forbes Bros Ltd is Canada's largest independently owned powerline construction company completing projects all across Western Canada, Ontario, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Russia, and South America. We have visited several job sites in Canada throughout the year to capture the work that Forbes Bros takes on. Whether it’s tower assembly and erection, stringi[...]

The Day You Were Born

There is something so incredible about photographing newborns, to capture that brief moment in time when they could comfortably sleep in your arms. Just four days old and we had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Amelia. Words can’t begin to describe this sweet baby girl, as we both fell in love the instant we laid eyes on her. Amelia’s first photo [...]

The One With the Waggly Tail

The AARCS (Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society) is a registered, non-profit charity, so when we were approached to volunteer our time by taking a few pictures, how could we not say yes… absolutely! With camera in hand, we simply observe, capturing these adorable dogs' personalities like any typical photo shoot. After the quick mini-sesh is over we wait… we wa[...]

I’m With Cupid

From childhood to adulthood, Valentines day has always been special to us…. the reason? We love any excuse to make homemade gifts... everything from making cards, baking, decorations, down to the packaging of presents. Since this is a day all about love, we decided to do a friendly sisterly bake off. I decided to combine my love for popcorn and my sisters lo[...]

WellnessRx Annual Report

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” - Ben Franklin It’s a simple concept... by embracing and adopting skills, knowledge and attitudes related to nutrition and physical activity, we can live better, healthier lives. This is the aim of the University of Alberta’s WellnessRx team, one that we "health nuts” personally couldn’t agree with more. T[...]

My Better Half

In case you’re new to Edmonton, our falls are almost non existent, one moment you look outside and see an array of fiery reds, vibrant yellows, and bold green foliage covering our cityscapes, and the next day you’re looking at bare branches reminding us that winter is shortly upon us. We however were lucky enough to capture one of the last warm weekends this[...]

Novemburrrr....

This green eyed cutie is just 3 months old, and already the perfect little model. After we were greeted by Hiro the family dog, we headed up the stairs to see a peaceful Trinity laying in her crib fixated on the wall above her. She was calmly laying there without even making a peep, her parents thought she was still napping. We knew right away we had a littl[...]

Eeny Meeny Miny Owen

Growing up, our mom wasn’t in nearly half the amount of photos she should have been… the reason... she was always the one taking them. So when we meet our lovely family last weekend, and heard that “Dad” doesn’t have nearly enough photos with baby Owen, we wanted to change that, after all they only stay that small for a blink of an eye right? As we began sho[...]

T. Dot

While we have the pleasure of working together everyday, it is actually rare when we get to vacation just the two of us. The initial trip was based around seeing Paolo Nutini preform live at Sound Academy, however, it was just good timing that we were able to catch the last few days of TIFF and the first few days of JFL 42. Our trip went by much too quickly,[...]

Cake Smash

I wouldn’t say this is your typical cake smash session, since not a lot of smashing was going on… we kept telling ourselves he was just saving his appetite for his real homemade birthday cake waiting for him at home. We still had an entertaining time watching him carefully poke and prod at the icing with a single finger with no desire to taste that sugary go[...]
