Denise was amazing!!!
My husband booked a session with Denise as a surprise for our 5th year anniversary. Denise helped him with absolutely all the details - the location and even our outfits! During the session she was just as amazing, making us feel comfortable and giving us great ideas for poses even in -13 weather! The pictures turned out even better than we expected and we are so happy with the results. I would recommend Denise to anyone and will definitely book again in the future.

An incredible experience with Denise.
Denise is so talented and professional in her craft. We booked a family and couple shoot with her, and had never done one before. She guided us prior to the shoot with tips on what to wear to feel our best, as well as recommending to get some ideas down of the style of photos we liked. I definitely chose too many options but she was able to recreate all of them and the photos turned out better than we could imagine. We are so grateful for Denise’s thoroughness. Our photos are so unique and so beautiful. We will absolutely be returning for more in the future and recommending Denise to anyone we know.

Knows the vibes!
Denise is a great photographer, she is very open to different things. I wanted particular looking photos, and Denise was so understanding and so easy to work with. She is so professional and tries really hard to get the vibe you want from the photoshoot. She’s very well organized. With Denise you won’t need to micro manage anything , she knows what she’s doing. Highly recommended:)

We’re so grateful to have had Denise capture our surprise proposal! She made us feel at ease, so the photos came out natural and full of emotion. Every moment was beautifully captured, and her attention to detail made each shot feel magical. We’ll cherish these photos forever—highly recommend!

Amazing photographer
She was so good with photographing our big family. She was able to really direct us to do fun poses and our photos turned out amazing! She also drove a long way from calgary in order to take pictures at the family farm! Thank you soooo much!

More than 5 stars
Our family really enjoyed the session with Denise. She’s so sweet, and made the kids feel comfortable right from the get go. Whenever things were getting awkward and we didn’t know what to do with our hands, or a piece of hair was off, she was right there letting us know what to fix. The photos were a quick turn around, and turned out better than imagined. There were a few candid shots that are my favourite. Denise’s attention to detail in both the shots and the editing was impressive, to say the least. 100% worth it, and now we have family photos with all of us that are beautiful and not selfies. Thank you Denise!

Fall Minis
Denise did a great job with our family photos. She scoped out some places ahead of time and knew exactly where to go when we got there. The fall colors turned out beautifully. We would definitely book with her again!

Book Denise and thank me later!
We had a fall family photoshoot completed a week ago. Denise photographed us in a genuine, candid, and fun way! We had lots of laughs while doing the shoot and were able to take all the photos we want within the allotted time frame. She was very professional and thorough — from her scouting the appropriate venue, to editing the photos based on my requests, to delivering them on time. I also love how she was always quick with her responses and updates you regularly. We were very impressed to say the least! It doesn’t surprise me that the pictures turned out to be better than expected! They’re all honestly frame-worthy!

Family Session
We will absolutely cherish the photos Denise took of our family. She asked us for some inspo photos and made sure we had the opportunity to shoot all of those ideas. During the shoot she was calm and patient, the entire process was so enjoyable and memorable! The photos came out stunning, we love every single one of them

Denise did the very best for our engagement session!!!
My fiance and I were traveling to Canada from The States, and Denise was great through the planning/inspiration process and a GREAT communicator!!! At the lake, she was early and had previously scouted out the best spots for the shoot. We felt so comfortable with her guidance and received the most beautiful album of photos! We will cherish these photos and memories forever, thank you Denise <3

Family photography session
We loved our session with Denise and the photos turned out amazing. I highly recommend her services. She helped us with our posing which was really nice and helped us pick out an awesome place to take the photos. Her skills with the camera and editing style are impeccable. Truly was the best session we have ever done. She helped us feel super confident and comfortable. Her husband was an amazing help as well as he helped entertain our baby. :) We definitely will be having another session in the near future and cannot wait for it!
